Blurgh, having trouble with mods. Whenever I try to start a new character using a modded race (Except for the Novakid+ mod), I get an error message along the lines of 'client-server connection no longer valid'. I can start normal characters just fine, though.

Here's my current mod list, if that helps at all:

• Avali
• Felins
• Variety is the Spice of the Universe
• Starscape
• Deadsquirrel's Firefly
• Firefly/Serenity Big Box of Loot
• Frackin' Flora
• Kobolds
• Okea Kiosk
• Planetside Teleporters
• Ammo Overhaul
• Felins Object+
• Kawa's Xbawks-mode character creator
• Dungeoneer Dungeons
• Novakid+

Wait a minute... Is it not possible to scan and print blocks with the 3d printer? Do I actually have to dismantle entire NPC settlements to get the blocks for my library?

...WHY???

[BigD145]

Welcome to Starbound! Yes, you have to dismantle for blocks. This is true in most block games.

[Sappho]

I swear it used to be possible to scan and print them. It was expensive, but faster than dismantling buildings.

I might have to grab one of those mods that lets you just create blocks from a machine, keep it on a single-player planet, and stock up that way. Would that work without disrupting my vanilla multiplayer experience, as long as I don't create any blocks that don't exist in vanilla?

[Tarran]

The Creative Mod doesn't disrupt your vanilla experience if you make sure the blocks are in vanilla (easy experiment in singleplayer, and as far as I know at least 95%, if not 100% are), and whenever you want to go on a multiplayer server you just remove all the mod items from the game and temporarily uninstall the mod. That's what I do. It's how I made my homeplanet and ship.

[Vorthon]

Yes, ignore the person with a more pressing issue than 'can't scan blocks'. :I

The portable pixel printer unlocks printing some stuff, like steel blocks and high-tech blocks. You may be thinking of that one.

That said, I do run a mod I made for personal use called "harvest pick" that lets you craft a 5X5 near-instant mining pick from stone and wood at the workbench. I have no interest in posting it to chucklefish's site, but if there's a desire for it I can do some graphic tweaks and post it here.

It wouldn't work just as client-side for MP servers, though. If someone wants it, just tell me the easiest place to drop the files and I'll upload it.

People are here from many different time zones with many different schedules. Your post is just over 30 minutes old. Patience is a virtue.

Also, your question has been answered many times already. If a mod adds assets that don't exist in vanilla, they will cease to exist if you take them into a multiplayer server without the same mod(s). I can't tell you exactly how a custom race mod would react, but it would almost certainly be something between not being able to join, crashing on join, and your character model looking wonky to other players.

Have you tried deleting and regenerating your universe?

That's not the issue. The issue is that I that error on single-player.

I'm saving that as a last-resort kind of thing, TBH.

Your question is much more in-depth and complicated than the 'less pressing' one you mention...and frankly, given that everyone experiences being unable to print blocks but only your specific mod configuration causes your problem, it seems a bit harsh to describe hers as 'less pressing'.

Regardless - if your issue is happening when trying to play as any of the custom races (except Novakid+), rather than just Felins or just Avali, I'd suspect it's something to do with the character creator mod (just by process of elimination).  Does your starbound.log file shed any light on what's causing the crash?  Have you tried disabling the custom race mods one at a time to see if one of them is causing the specific conflict?

Worst case scenario - try going back to vanilla, then applying the mods one at a time, starting up a new character each time, until you find the one that causes it to fail.  Suspect it'll be a combination of the character creator mod and one of the race mods, but haven't used them myself so no personal experience here.

[Vorthon]

I've been guessing it's the Avali mod so I guess that's my next test. Well, time to jot down the coordinates for my moon bunker, dig out a chamber to stuff with a bunch of containers for loot, and go from there. e-e

Edit: Although, now that I think about, I didn't have an issue until after installing the kobold mod.

[Flying Dice]

Oh, that post. Yeah, it's almost certainly to do with the multiple race mods. With that many there's a high possibility that two or more modify the same files, which would naturally cause conflicts.

That's what I do. It's how I made my homeplanet and ship.

I have some weird single player mods that I don't use on the server. Basically just stash any new things on a singleplayer planet(like the creative mode crafting tables), and make sure it never gets on my ship or my player inventory. I can join my server just fine with it still installed, as long as I don't then try to make the crafting tables.

[Sappho]

Tylui, I can't connect to your server. It says "unknown server version." Was there a patch? Or maybe the server needs to be rebooted for some reason?
