Need help w/ custom weapons

[k0n0]

Not sure if this is the correct thread, but it seems the most fitting.

I know the very basics of creating custom weapons, but can't seem to find any in-depth guides that aren't outdated. Currently I'm using the Drawables Generator and Starcheat, but the former has limits to the type of weapons I can make, and I have to choose between proper hand position or the correct attack animation.

Anyone out there experienced with making custom weapons willing to share some advice?

Weapons are one area I haven't touched much. But take a look at this mod: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1118777254
It may be of some help, as a kind of "in-game Starcheat". And yes, it can export your work.

I've been using RexmecK for a while, but I'm trying to create entirely custom weapons. It's great for making quick and simple changes, but I'm not all that great with anything more complex.

I suggest extracting the assets and using other weapon's code, but changing the stats and sprite, maybe also projectile.

I suppose that would help me get a better feel for how weapons work, but I'm trying to make weapons that work in multiplayer, just by editing the json file.

Okay, but I am not sure how to make weapons that do not require others to have the mod.

you could also Make custom weapons using commands, you can find them on youtube called "Starbound Custom Creations" theres alot of different weapons and monster spawning commands you can use and tweak

Yes but I want to make my own weapons, with unique appearances and abilities.

Does anyone know how to edit the aprites for any given player?
Also, I have a mod that edits the avian clothing sprites, but it hasn't been updated since Enraged Koala. Anyone know how to revive it?

I'll try to post the mod folder to anyone who repliesto this message. (it's a weird one, but not too weird, like the "nudity" mods on the SB Nexus) ((it's very minor nudity))
