Oh my. I think the last time I played Starbound was in summer 2019, because I remembered Esther's quest.... But something about the letter, this time, hit me HARD and I was ugly crying. XD I had been putting off the quest because I could not find a buildable world and my ship was just a mess, but today I had the thought to turn one of the rooms into a hydroponics / botany area...and then I was able to give an old lady a flower. https://i.imgur.com/zZLlo46.png

Hey, I have no idea if you are watching this anymore, but I wanted to say this mod has always been so dear to me. Thank you for your wonderful work.

Hello Azure Fang,
I'm the modder of Racial Terramart mods , and i wonder if i can use the sprite of your potted flower for the Human variant of my mod with your permission.

Of course you'll be credited.

Take my god damn points.

Sorry, I found the error, I guess this does not happen in the English language, but the words that are between "quotation marks" cause CTD, to use quotation marks, at least in Spanish, you have to put them like this:

\"

If you don't put the "\" the quotation marks cause CTD, and there are 2 words in the text that use quotation marks, it's already fixed hehe

ups xD I receive an error

[14:49:32.065] [Error] Exception caught loading asset: /codex/glitch/af_ppf_letter.codex, (AssetException) Could not read JSON asset /codex/glitch/af_ppf_letter.codex

The only thing I have done is translate the mod, and I do this constantly, I have not modified anything except translate texts, any ideas?

Hey, it's really very nice the Esther card, it's a little mod, but it adds nostalgia and a bit of lore, I love it.

Does this work with the racial intros mod? I'd be super curious to know

The codex almost made me cry inside, i did not read that part in the steam workshop i loved it.

I love this mod Btw the codex has a spelling error in the title (explaination->explanation) and I figured it was probably an easy-ish fix so I'd let you know

if the game had more stuff like this it may actually force me to have emotional attachment, oh well. :P

Alright. I don't really know how to add it as a patch, though. I'll probably take a crack at it and send it over to Team Triage, though.

@Sky Blue Sky
I wouldn't be able to test it on my end, so I wouldn't roll it into this mod. However, you're more than welcome to publish your patch on your own. That's kinda one of the founding principles of this modding community and the only reason the Avali mod really still exists today

@Azure Fang

If I figure out how to make one, may I send that instead?

@Sky Blue Sky
I don't use Avali for a combination of reasons, and I generally do not make patches for content that I don't use. Sorry.

I have a request for an Avali description of the flower. I don't know how to make patch files, but it would be something like this:

@McKaby
Just getting a successful boot is what I was going for. Thank you for that confirmation. The file that triggered the exception was a past version of the actual working quest that, for some reason, I left in my build folder. As long as you're not seeing any more exceptions for files tagged "af_", then we should be good on this mod's end. Thanks much for bringing this to my attention, by the way.

I was playing with it disabled, at worst I need to re-acquire the seed by running another character through the intro.

However, I've redownloaded the mod and currently able to log in, now to wait for the other mod to update.

@McKaby
Would you mind un/resubbing and running again? It looks like some prototype files (read as: before I knew what I was doing files) snuck into my category update and triggered the exception. It should be good now, but I can't fully test at this moment.

@McKaby
S'all good. I think I know the cause. Looking into it now.

I'm currently trying to narrow down a CTS issue with another mod, so expect a lot of chaff in there

@McKaby
The entire log would still be helpful.

The important part - [03:27:15.572] [Error] Application: exception thrown, shutting down: (AssetException) Error loading asset /quests/other/af_pf_quest.questtemplate

@McKaby
Please link a copy of your starbound.log from the crash.

I think your update has a bug in it, I'm getting CTD's before character select with it enabled.

I think that the growth and item drop rates should be reduced a bit honestly.

@Kasha Farmhand
There's nothing to add. The mod is as I envisioned, everything functions as it should, and it's built in a way that it will continue to function with all future versions if Starbound, barring a (unlikely) major overhaul of core game mechanics.

The mod, just curious. Last thing about it was last year.

@Kasha Farmhand
News about what?

It's been several months, any news?

I love those...

I don't get any pixels for shipping flower seeds using the terramart shipments

And... update pushed. If you do not receive it, try restarting Steam.

Heads up: I'm in final testing for an update that will bring a small post-game questline with a final reward of adding the seeds to Terramart. Expect an update in the next couple days.

@LagiaDOS
Yes

Is it working for 1.3?

@Azure Fang Esther giving the mission after the main storyline actually makes plenty on sense, as she could say something along the lines of bringing back the spirit of the protectorates.

Quest created, but it will be a little while before I can fully test it - I wiped all game progress for 1.3, so I need to complete the story again.

@Ruccolo
So, I've come up with an idea. In part because I'm still learning Tiled and how persistent NPCs are created, and in part because of stylistic reasons, I'll be creating a quest given by Esther after the core storyline has been completed. I'm working out the details now, and the final reward will be a few units of seeds. Stay tuned for updates.

@Azure Fang Thanks for the quick reply, I'd like to add that I like the idea of a mission that rewards the seeds.

@Ruccolo
I've been wanting to do that for those that skip the tutorial, but at the same time I'm torn because I want it to be "special", missable, like the Torn Protectorate Cape. I was also considering adding a quest somewhere that would reward the player with the items missed by skipping the tutorial (and in the process, learning how to build Outpost NPCs and script static quests).

Give me a little time to think about things.

Can you add a way to get the seeds without having to do the tutorial mission?

Update, got rid of a fair few mods, game no longer lags, opening the chest still crashes to main menu, and I still keep the seed and only the seed upon reloading. I feel like it has something to do with one of my mods like Enhanced Storage or such that changes certain containers. Thankfully, I should be able to play normally now, after cheating a sword in for myself.

Huh, I'll look into it. As you said I also doubt it's my mod, but I'll experiment.

The weirdest thing happened involving the seeds, but I don't blame it on the mod, because I have loads of mods installed.

Essentialy, I started a new game on my new PC, the game is lagging to hell and back, but I press on, expecting it to go away eventualy. I, of course, pick up the flower, and get the seed. I progress a while later, and I'm told to grab the sword from the chest, I open the chest... and crash to main menu. "Alright, I'll just reload." I go back in... and I kept the seed? And only the seed as well. Game is still lagging, I go through it again, the flower is back, I pick it up and get another seed, as well as a new flower. Chest again... crash to main menu. Repeat about 2 more times gaining another seed each round, before I give up with the chest, and use cheats to grab a sword, and get on the ship. Lag continues, and I give up on the save. Just thought I'd mention this strange occurence to you, out of curiostity as to if this is able to be recreated by just quiting.

Like I said, create a thread on the discussions on this mod and I'll see if I can help you figuure it out.

the thing i find odd is that i played lastnight perfectly fine no issues. boot up this morning and everything is kind of jacked =/ sorry to be a pain. i just noticed that there was an issue with your flower ass i had started a new game and the seed was in the hot bar. sigh time to start removing and replacing mods to see what is broken then.

Paste it to pastebin, then share the link. Please create a thread on this mod's discussions so that we can move out of the comment section.

okay found the log how do i share it with you?

Sounds like you have a mod causing a conflict with mine, then, because even with the ~100 mods I have installed, or when installed alone, this mod is working fine.
