Starbound V3 - "A slightly more wet thud"

Liking the music over terraria's.
Terraria's was alright, but this is a LOT more atmospheric.

I'm holding off on listening to the music in Starbound. I want to try to experience it first in-game, just to get a much better first impression for it.

And if the music really is that much better, then I can't wait!

Tentacle battle.mp3 is fucking intense.

So is uhh.. Glacial horizon? I think?

You'll get to do that, eventually~.

holy shit
this seems too, grand, to be just normal music

boss fights?[/QUOTE]
Of course, Terraria had boss fight sequences where the music changed.

[B]HOW TO ANIMATE YOUR STARBOUND CHARACTERS FOR FUN AND PROFIT![/B]

You'll need:
-A computer;
-A browser;
-At least half a working brain.

[U]STEP ONE:[/U]

Go on "[URL]http://community.playstarbound.com/chucklechargen/[/URL]" and recreate your character. You don't need to save it or click "create character" or anything yet! Just do all your settings, the only thing that doesn't matter now is the pose.

[U]STEP TWO:[/U]

When your character is to your satisfaction, here's where the magic start.

[B]If you want your character to have a [U]walking[/U] animation in the .gif we're going to make later-on[/B], change the pose setting to [B]8[/B], right click your character, and "Save Image As..." and then save it as "gif1.png". Now, change the pose setting to 9, and right click your character, and "Save Image As..." and then save it as "gif2.png". Then do the same thing again with pose 10 through 15. Now you should have 8 images in png wherever you saved them.

[B]If you want your character to have a [U]running[/U] animation in the .gif we're going to make later-on[/B], do the same thing as before, but save pose 16 through 24 instead.

[B]If you want your character to have a [U]swimming[/U] animation in the .gif we're going to make later-on[/B], do the same thing as before, but save pose 32 through 36 instead (in this case you should only have 8 images at the end).

[B]If you want your character to have a [U]drop[/U] animation in the .gif we're going to make later-on[/B], it's going to take a bit more work. You'll need an image manipulation software like Photoshop or GIMP, and if you don't know how to basically combine 2 images (of same size, while keeping the transparency), forget it. Still, it shouldn't be that hard. If you still want to do this, Save pose 31 as "gif1.png", then pose 30 as "gif2.png" and so on through pose 25, and then save pose 7 as "gif12.png" (you'll see why later). [U]Go directly to "Custom Drop Animation" at the end of step three, the rest doesn't concern you[/U].

[U]STEP THREE:[/U]

Go on "[URL]http://www.myspacegens.com/handler.php?gen=animatedimage&p=view[/URL]".

In the "Select a Size", choose custom and put the size as 129 by 129 pixels. Uncheck "Prevent my pictures from being stretched or distorted".

In the "Select a Speed", if you're making a walking animation, select "custom" and put 130ms in the prompt below. If you're making a running animation, simply select the 100ms option. If you're making a swimming animation, select "custom" and put 200ms in the prompt below.

In "Upload your pictures", click on the green plus "add" button, and select all your pictures wherever you saved them, and then click on "upload" to the right.

Hopefully, your pictures where already named in the right order, but in case they weren't you can reorganize the order of each picture now. Just drag them in the right order.

Then, click on submit.

Wait until the .gif is generated and VOILA! If something went wrong, simply click on "Edit this gif" (your settings should be saved). Otherwise, save the .gif on your computer, and move to step 4!

[B]Custom Drop Animation:[/B] If you were making the custom drop animation, download these:

[URL]http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/3686/drop2b.png[/URL]

[URL]http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/69/drop4j.png[/URL]

Then, make four new duplicates of "gif12.png" you had earlier, and using an image manipulation software combine each duplicate with a dust cloud frame, and name them "gif8.png" through "gif11.png".

Go on "[URL]http://www.myspacegens.com/handler.php?gen=animatedimage&p=view[/URL]".

In the "Select a Size", choose custom and put the size as 129 by 129 pixels. Uncheck "Prevent my pictures from being stretched or distorted".

In the "Select a Speed" select "custom" and put 130ms in the prompt below.

In "Upload your pictures", click on the green plus "add" button, and select all your pictures wherever you saved them, and then click on "upload" to the right.

Hopefully, your pictures where already named in the right order, but in case they weren't you can reorganize the order of each picture now. Just drag them in the right order.

Now you'll want to change the delay on each frame. You'll want the delay on the first 6 fames to be respectively: 100ms, 105, 110ms, 115ms, 120ms, 125ms. Then, the next 6 frames can stay at 130ms. The last frame should be at 1000ms.

Then, click on submit.

Wait until the .gif is generated and VOILA! If something went wrong, simply click on "Edit this gif" (your settings should be saved). Otherwise, save the .gif on your computer, and move to step 4!

[U]STEP FOUR:[/U]

Upload your .gif on your favorite image hosting service. I use [URL]http://postimage.org/[/URL] because it supports .gif and gave me no fuss so far, plus it's easy to use.

[U]STEP FIVE:[/U]

[B]???[/B]

[U]STEP 6:[/U]

[B]PROFIT!!![/B]

Recolored my character to be more "captain-y". Changing the character in the OP to that would be much appreciated, but not necessary at all.

[StrawberryClock]

Sorry about the tut taking a long-ass time to make, I just couldn't resist adding a few .gif images at the end of it. Those took more time to do than the actual guide.

[SteakStyes]

The bonus race they may put in seems nice and all, but I can't help but feel that the race of Cats that were seen piloting various mechs in some of the older art should have been the choice. Granted, they could probably be added in when modding is available. I only keep bringing them up as short of either just being something to get people worked up about or them being revealed to be the big bad of the game, they sure did pop up a lot for just a random thing.

Maybe it will be Stretch Goal #2?

[StrawberryClock]

Seems like the least popular race is the Apex, if we're looking at the character sheet in the OP.

I couldn't get a good pic for the landing to running again transition. But whatever. Might do more with it later.

Holy shit I've never even had $1000 and you just donated it to make a zombie arm a weapon in a game that isn't even out yet?

if that's a concern then you shouldn't even bother playing starbound lol

look at the official forums, how is that any worse than furries "plaguing the game?"

[Zombie]

I just saw this game had chainsaws and realistic tree cutting physics.

I must make a lumberjack character.

Again, I only brought up the Cats as in quite a few of the older Concept/Fan Arts, there usually was a Cat driving some sort of Mech. If I recall correctly, they originated like a year ago when they were showing both examples of randomly generated monsters and in game cats. One thing was a mech suit being piloted by a little cat.

Shoulda made a dildo crossbow.

[milkandcooki]

i think more animal races would be hardcore, because they wouldn't really detract from the game's artstyle and story and shit

think overgrowth, not GAY FURRY ROLEPLAY VIDEOGAME

Eh, game will be moddable so I think they should stick with the races they have now.
That way if later you want gay furry weed smoker wizard, you can make it.

[Someone4956]

Wait, it's going to be moddable? Someone make a clown suit.
