@Salomon No plans for updates, but frankly I rarely follow through with plans anyway.

Does it even work in its current state?

Any chance this mod will receive updates?

What about Protectorate Hoverbikes?

no novakid hoverbikes

Inkling please?

1.4!!

IT'S 1.4 IN STARBOUND NOW!

@Fellgamer yeah, we need those.

Can we get Glitch, Floran, Human, and Novakid bikes as well?

Hiya MPDB, do you mind if I upload a patch fixing the problem on 1.3 animation?

Oh, and FWIW the bikes have been folded in to Frackin' Universe, so if you're using that mod go ahead and turn this one off. I corrected a couple of the 1.3 animation changes on that side.

Yeah the mod has been put on hold, I haven't even checked if it still works with 1.3. I've been working on monsters for the Frackin' Universe mod now - and that's only in between going back to school full time. Whenever I get back to this mod I'll be working on functionality first, then moving on to the Floran bike since it was most requested.

Sorry for taking so long to make this announcement.

Abandoned mod?

So any ETA on the rest of the races' hoverbikes?

Given how explorerpods no longer work AFAIK due to one of the major updates breaking part of their coding (pre-1.3, ironically enough), and the original author is long gone, having at least hoverbikes would be really nice.

works with 1.3 ?

why does the hylotl hoverbike look like a fish which is high?
Just a thought that came to my mind...

Yep! The mod loads just fine on the server now, so I'm really happy to be able to confirm that. Thanks for troubleshooting this, I really appreciate it!

xD xD xD xD xD xD x´V GOOD NIGHT

OK

@ Tyto I troubleshooted things for a bit and I think you were spot on about the .pak format being the issue. I've started prepackaging before uploading and its working without error messages on my end.

If it helps, I copied my Starbound to a new folder and just had this one mod in the mods folder there. On running the game's exe, it crashes with the same errors presented in the log I posted earlier. So, it's not really a multiplayer thing so much as the game just can't load this mod if it's not installed via the Workshop (i.e. it's run from the game's mods folder). If it is, then everything works without a hitch (even in Steam-hosted multiplayer sessions).

@ Tyto Thanks for the encouragement on designs. I'm really interested in doing mods that seem like they could be part of vanilla, I think the old designs will be gathered up when I return to the forums. As far as the error log goes I think you're on the right track. I use the linux command line tools to upload the mods - I guess the window's one forces the contents.pak format. It's going to take more than just me to tes tmultiplayer so bear with me while I rope a friend into helping me out.

All right, so, I had this problem last time I tried running this mod, but was hoping it might be fixed with the update. Guess not! Anyway, here's the error log I'm getting. [pastebin.com]

What's weird is, it loads and works just fine in single-player - with the same exact mods running. But when I attempt to load this through the mods folder on a server, it crashes at startup and produces that log up above. This is also the only Workshop mod I've seen that's not a pak file, but I don't know what that'd have to do with anything.

I love the Avian bike, and I'd really like to see what other concepts you had in mind for it before deciding on the one that made its way into the mod. All three of these bikes are terrific and really fit in very well with the rest of the game, thank you so much for making them.

Okay, one down three to go. I know avian was the least requested but I'd been working on it for a while. I ended up scrapping the stuff I'd been working on these past months and going with something simpler. The spinning gem efffect makes it kind of unique compared to the other bikes, I'm sure it will get some features like lights and whatnot eventually. Glitch is the easiest follow up but Floran is the most requested so I'm not sure where I'll go next. Hope everyone is enjoying the content even if its coming at a snail's pace

how racist

novakid hoverbikes?

I guess once they are added, it is all said and done, but a fish themed hylotl bike would be kinda cool, like a dolphin or something.

Racial Hoverbikes: no Apex allowed

glitch hoverbikes?

where do you find the bikes

floran wantssss monssster bike oWo

This project looks abandonned but I'm just being really particular about it. I've got about a dozen different designs for an Avian bike. Since I can't pick which to go forward with I'll probably put it up to a vote on the CF forums like I did for the Hylotl bike.
I can see pretty clearly that Floran is the most requested. My initial plan was to do Floran last and have their bike be an amalgamation of the other races' bikes. It would probably be best to alter the original bike with the floran motif and maybe revisit the design once the others are taken care of.

Yer fergettin' one race pardner, You still need ter make a doo hickey fer us Novakids.

floransss needss flotating bike, floransss already hass flotating veicle, right? HUMAN KNOWSS IF FLORANSSS DOESS NOT HASS IT OWN THINGSSSS IN MODSSS, RIGHT??

ok

@ Deoxys it was actually the original version before I got super insecure about it and remade it into the one that's currently in the game. I've got to get on fixin' that.

Heh, looks like you forgot to update the Hylotl Hoverbike tooltip image to how the hoverbike really looks when in the world! I'm assuming that was a WIP sprite as you were developing it?

will you be doing modded races too?

if chu want da madness 2 end maik fl0ren baeik!1!!11!

haha ok

@ Alphapotato33 There was a mod on the forums (pre 1.0) that included the horse. The character stood on top of it. I had some ideeas for using parts of the sprite but ran into a lot of problems implementing it :(
@ Penguin Overlord: That is definitely the most requested race.

If you do a glitch bike will it be the horse that the glitch jouster uses??? (maybe smaller... also it would be the first workshop horse vehicle... and finally most of the textures are already done with it already being a sprite in the game)

I want a floran bike ;(

@ Jason_c_0 Yeah, I expect to revise these for a while before moving on to the avian bike.

Do you plan on updating this merged mod with other bikes as you create them? (As in, this in now the main mod, correct?)

@ Dracheneisen Thank you. Right now I'm not wanting to charge mroe fore looks, but for functionality - which is somewhere I disagree with the vanillla system. That said I'm toying with the scripts to try out extra features on the diferent bikes. The hylotl has some level of buoyancy for example.

q guapooooooooooooooooooooo

Nice work! You should maybe raise the price of this baby to, let's say 15000 or 20000 pixels, because it's cooler, and should be considered rarer than the classic hoverbikes... anyway, cool stuff!!! ^^ This will go in my mod list!!!

this reminds me of a portal gun...
