is there any way you can change this mod or make a side mod
so that you can see your own light but not others

This mod replaces the entire 'stat_primary.animation' config file instead of making a patch for a single "false" value in it... why did you do it like this :(

it should effect novakids.

any chance you got something like frackin races installed?
last time i checked ages ago that mod gives every race a passive buff/debuff novakids are given a special glow and that overrides this mod.

its been 7 years since i made this. heh I'm not quite gonna jump into frackin disassemble it and figure out how they do it so i can make a patch.

yo i'm back can you make it effect novakids

Okay i tested it seems to work your mod seems to work perfectly fine with those mods

@LoudBuddy
unsure. alls this does is change the light the player emits.

@Ω Skyrim Spriggan Ω would you happen to know if this works with tanz lighting overhaul, or the fullbright mods?

Works on i love bacons because i saw somebody with no player glow, even though i didn't have the mod installed. They did tell me it was this one

@PentaSquares thats intended. they are burning gas people. o.o

novakids are still very bright

@Natod It removes the player's "glow aura", making hiding from other players actually possible.

Can I do a Stealth 100 meme here

@43770gaming i would but im sure police would come knocking lol.
.
i believe some servers can make it so you require a list of mods to join. thats the only time i can imagine ppl would be forced to use it.

You should make a mod that forces other players to install this, for this to work more funner

FU has this mod

other things that limit our eyes ability to see as well as other animals in the dark is the placement of the retina, blood vessels, and subsequent buildup over the years of leaked cell material into the fluid of the eye. if ever you hit your head or experience a rush of high blood pressure to the eyes occasionally you will see flashes of light in your vision. this is caused by single blood cells passing through the capillaries in front of the retina rather than behind it. as the blood cells are semi transparent and creating a wake (absence of blood plasma) within the capillaries more light is able to pass through creating the zipping star effect. we actually see the world a lot darker than other animals because of this. but as we evolved for life in a daytime desert/serengeti environment as apposed to most other animals having activity in the night time... this feature helped to block some of the sun from striking our retinas prolonging our eye sight throughout our lives.

the natural glow is realistic in that even in darkness Human-eye Rod Cells have limited night vision ability for seeing in semi dark low-light areas (our Cone Cells which see color unfortunately only work when there is plenty of light so that is why nighttime appears dark grey-bluish as the rod cells respond more to this wave length of light)... however how this should have been implemented in game is make it so the glow effect was client side... so you cant see the glow of other players. that would then make it realistic... simply removing the glow altogether is welcomed as well due to the limitation and i love this mod for it.

So basically this mod steals your ability to lightly glow (for some off reason... even humans glow, and I'm Avian... THERE IS NO SCIENCE TO THIS!!) and has you blend in the darkness when night falls, making entering dark caverns and facilities shrouded in darkness feel like you're entering your own tomb should you not be prepared without a light source to provide light and feeling like a horror scene similar to Alien?

If that's the case... sign me up!! :D

>:) never give a starbound player this ability

how does this work?

people can still see the names over their heads... any way to remove that?

Stop asking questions. You'll only cause a rule similar to rule 34 but involving ze substance.

cracking races? what, do you have a mod that allows your character to snort crack or something?

Do the novakids still glow if you have cracking races?

The guy on the first picture reminds me of the gnomes from Mario Galaxy.

@Vrishnak92™
if i remember correctly the novakids had a different textfile that gives them a brighter glow.
all the other races use the same text file.

Honestly, just thought of this, but i feel like the Novakids should remain glowing (if your mod affects them that is), it would just seem weird for a walking ball of excited gases to not glow when their character design is obviously very glowy

@Vrishnak92™
exactly.

While i dont do pvp servers (more out of a "can't" than "won't"), this mod strokes my inner assassin. Just makes me envision lying in wait with a sniper rifle in an area i've setup as a snipers roost, just waiting for that one person to wander in.

i've also got a novakid glow mod on, will this still work or do i have to get rid of it?

Hmm. I've peeked into the insides of the mod and it seems this mod is replacing the whole player/stat_primary.animation. That might cause incompatibilities with mods that modify the same file or if future updates modify that file. You might want to check that out...

like terreria starbound is nooby always showing you were the player is

They're planning to put mod categories on Steam here pretty soon, I hear! Maybe once they do that, it'll be more encouraging... because despite it I have over 100 mods installed and couldn't be happier, ha.

While there is a lot of grind, I typically blaze through it, but after that it just plateaus into "keep finding stuff for food" and "here's the same planet over and over again". I would install Frackin' but I play mostly multiplayer and the person I play with has zero interest -- and also it changes a lot more than just planet variety.

The upcoming bounty system is gonna be cool! Would love to also see more interesting random enemy encounters, more unique dungeons, stuff like that. I build dungeons and having them implemented would be really cool.

@rivers in the dust

yeah skyrim mods are pretty sweet.
a bit of "frostfall" for cold/warm
longterm stamina is useful if you want the need for sleep to have a minor impact. it only effects movement speed slightly
"realistic needs and diseases" is great for sleep,eat and drinking needs.

I'm going to level with you...i totally would do that stuff for starbound but since the starbound devs never put catagories into their steamwork shop im not encouraged at all since mods get uploaded into one big massive unorganized pile and are both hard to find and get lost easily.

and i'd rather not even go near their site to post a mod since starbound had a lovely rep for shadowbanning profiles for even the slightest thing.

Ever since 1.0 i feel the games been getting lazier with touch damage and it has a much more unnecessary grind added to it...thats the reason i made 2 mods that reduce the number of matte tool updates needed

Great mod! I'm with y'all on the idea of a mod for cold/sleep/eating/thirst/etc, there's one for Skyrim that's really cool and I want it for Starbound haha

Confirmed: This mod does not effect Novakids.

Which is exactly what I wanted, thanks! :)

Not work in my game...

@brave buckthorn
glad you like the mod. :)
and yeah i kinda wish for more survival stuff as well.

I'd totally go for the need to sleep,drink and maintain core body tempature.

I remember in nightly EPP's only protected their element so under a freezing ocean you had to keep swapping out oxygen pack for warm pack to prevent drowning or freezing.

I did make another mod that removes the sound monsters make when they spot you.
so in pitch blackness you won't know if a monster has spotted you until you take damage.
and another one craftable pickaxes or something lets you make a primative one handed torch from coal and wood to hold and create some light around yourself

great man, thank you, i love it. I wish more survival aspect in game , make epp less usefull like for example when you are in freezing planet, still feel cold, be forced to make campfire which will make you warm and clothes which will make you warm, you know things like that, that would be awesome i feel like they broke the loop of game, you can beat the game without even farming, or building or mining, anyway, i fell in love with starbound but now after 240 hours of playing i want challenge want more atmosphere, you gave me a piece of what i was looking for, but i hope you will make another mods in future. Thank you, really, it really made a big difference : )

but other players cant see ur glow anyways still would install tho unless you play nova kid cuz ya know there on fire there supposed to glow

this mod i've made comes with a craftable one handed flamingtorch for light if you don't fancy the flashlight nor making the also one-handed mining lantern.

its decent enough until you make the stick lantern or use alot of torches

@A Cynical Bastard
exactly!
I remember that feeling of fear and unknown.
when i installed a mod for skyrim that made dungeons and caves pitch black. :)

I've another mod which allows you to craft a primative handheld torch if you don't fancy the flashlight or can't be bothered crafting the handheld lantern

I love this, even the smallest thing can make the biggest difference. It has a feeling of dread exploring caves, especially when youre not well-equipped.
