starbound-outfitgenerator's Introduction

Starbound Outfit Generator

You can now use the online Outfit Generator!

A tool that specializes in creating multiplayer compatible custom animated clothing using Nettle Boy's directives methods.

Why pants?

Nettle Boy has found a way to create multiplayer-compatible custom clothing that is fully animated. Hats aren't animated, tops contain only a few frames and back items contain a lot of duplicate frames. All of these options don't work all that well with the method.

To limit the amount of sprites we need to modify, the pants should be used for the main parts of your outfit (chest, pants, back item). This does come with a limitation; the sprites are rendered between the front arm and body layer of your character. If your outfit comes with sleeves, you'll still need a chest item for this purpose.

Why not put the entire outfit on the chest piece, then?

The frames on chest pieces are limited. If you compare any chest sprite sheet with any pants sprite sheet, you'll notice the difference. Putting pants on a chest piece would lead to staggered animations.

But I want a custom outfit, not just pants!

Since the frames cover your full character, you can draw an entire outfit and put them on one item (which are, in fact, simply pants). It is highly recommended to use the Starbound Hatter for custom hats, to conserve data. This should increase overall performance for you and other players.

For the sleeves of your outfit; these should be drawn on separate sprite sheets. The sleeve generator takes care of this part.

Installation

This tool requires .NET Framework 4.5.

Download and extract the latest release.
- Make sure both files are in the same folder. The sleeves generator depends on the pants generator to work.

Usage

Draw your outfit, or use an existing sprite sheet. Templates can be found in the templates folder.
- The climb frames are not used, so it is highly recommended to keep them out of your sprite sheet.
Drag your sprite sheet (preferably a 32-bit depth PNG) on top of the OutfitGenerator executable.
Select whether you want to make pants, sleeves or a back item by pressing the according key.
Use the generated /spawnitem command in-game.
- The command is saved to a file and also copied directly to your clipboard.

For custom sleeves, it is highly recommended to use a provided template. The front and back sleeve sheets have to be combined into one sheet for the tool. You can also sprite the front and back sleeves separately and merge them later by dragging both files on top of the application.

starbound-outfitgenerator's Issues

Sleeves Memory Leak

As another thread mentioned; Sleeve items suffer from intense memory leak issues. Wearing a sleeve item will slowly eat away at all available RAM until the game simply crashes.

Certainly deserves some investigation; though I understand it may be difficult to resolve given the modding access level.

Sleeves Memory Issues

I don't know how to put this but it seems that sleeves are causing massive memory consumption and possible leaks. I did a few tests to see if my theory was solid because originally I thought it was just the clothing itself. I hadn't had any memory issues before and as such I was confused as to why I would get them the same day as the clothing, and lo and behold it is the clothes. I brought a friend along to test my theory and even he said his memory use steadily increased upon wearing the sleeves I made. Take them off, however, and memory stabilizes at whatever it happens to be at at the time of stopping. The pants are fine, they cause no issues. It's just the sleeves.

Please take a look into this if you can, since that could be a pretty fatal flaw (it affects everyone around you, not just the wearer).
Cheers.

After 1.4.2 update there are some broken frames

After a 1.4.2 update some frames of sleeves got currupted and look like this

It appears while holding a weapon and while falling (8 frame front hand).
May be it because of update?

Couldn't read image file: Parameter is not valid

I don't know what this means or how to fix it. this happens every time I try and put my files into the generator. I cannot seem to attach the files as it says it does not support pdn

Sleeves causing high lag and has a white cube around it when equipped

When I put in the spawn sleeves command my whole computer starts lagging out thankfully for me it takes less then a minute to fix itself anyway back to topic when it finally spawns it spawns a white cube with the idle arm picture on it (it is the one I want I just dont want the white cube around it) I equip it and my framerate drops like a rocket flieing downwards the animations work except the animated arm is all I see the rest of the sprite is covered by a big white cube the low framerate only drops when it is equipped or being held

Sleeve Generator not working

I get this error thing on the console and it crashes for me.

Apply the same frame identifier to duplicate frames

On the template, each frame has a unique identifier (for example 00a100). If two frames on the target image are the same, pixels have to be replaced twice (for both different identifiers). Finding matching frames and adjusting the identifiers could save significant space.

First we should check if frames normally match up (pixel per pixel). If matching frames rarely/never happens then there's not really a point in implementing this.

Custom sleeves appear as a white box... but only to one particular person

So, I see my character fine. I used the sleeve generator to give my avian character wings:

Most people do.
Except this one person, who sent me this screenshot:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/402247830519152642/546203026059296801/unknown.png
They similarly see anyone else using custom sleeves as white boxes as well.
They're running Windows 10, 64 bits. What could be happening here?

1.3.3.1 crashes immediately

Regardless of wether or not I drag and drop an image or simply double click the program, this happens:
https://i.gyazo.com/c05f569c1b7166d9435628cb3a4d20b7.png

If the program automatically prints a crash log, I can't find it, but here's what info Windows has:

Certain frames on sleeves are green squares in latest release (v1.4.2)

When holding an item, ducking, or falling, and maybe I missed one but...
I suspect this is because the changes made in Starbound 1.4.2, that this version accounts for, were immediately reverted in 1.4.4, considering that older releases work fine.
Edit: Well I almost forgot to specify, this is on the sleeves.

Hatter

Wouldn't it be great if we could add an option to generate custom hats here as well?
That would keep the Outfit generator together.

Probably no need to use NeetleBoy's method for now, due to limitations of it.
Or not: up to you!
