tModLoader The Stars Above - 'Conquer the world's evils, Starfarers at your side.'

[PaperLuigi]

Here's the crash log. We're having a good time with the weapon references and bosses from the mod, just.. It crashes when we try to use prisms.

EDIT: Only the player who tries to interact with the prism slots crashes. Everyone else stays connected.

Thank you, I'll look into it when I'm able.

Bug Report:
The new change regarding being able to move the Nova meter does not save its location upon save+exit of the game.

This is intended; while I could save the placement of draggable UI elements it causes the problem where someone may move an element to a unreachable location. Yes, I could add a reset button, but for now, this is the easiest method for me. Sorry if it's too troubling.

As a follow-up to your problem, I couldn't replicate the issue on my end. I tried a fix, but again, I can't be certain if it will work. In any case, moving to a single-player world to equip Stellar Prisms may be the only option. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Thanks so much for whatever you did! I can now slot prisms while on my server without crashing.

 

[AlexGlonk]

Anyway, I rest my case from before. I no longer stand by the thing about shorter charge up for stellar nova. I guess endgame calamity isn't the best first choice

 

[TheNaturalKoala]

Question, how does the voice of the fallen work, i've gotten up to 400+ crit built and it neglects to let me crit

 

[BadPiggy1024]

Just another little issue, is it possible to add a setting to disable Ignition Astra and Edin Shugra Quasar's screen effects? Sometimes its hard to spot enemy attacks in the blue/purple shader.

Edit: and the ability to adjust weapon gauges' position as well.

Edit Edit: It seemed that Ignition Astra and Edin Shugra Quasar's projectiles still belong to their original damage class (used Colored Damaged Type mod and through my actual test) instead of "astral" damage

FAQ

Q: Where can I fight The Vagrant of Space and Time?
The Wall of Flesh drops an item called "The Shattered Disk." This item will summon the boss.

Q: How do I cast Stellar Novas?
After binding the key in the Options menu, while holding the Spatial Disk, press the key to open the Stellar Nova Menu. Once you've equipped a Stellar Nova, you gain Stellar Nova Energy naturally in combat, and pressing the key with a full gauge will use the ability.

Q: Where do I find Prisms?
Prisms drop from any enemy with a 1/1000 chance after the Vagrant of Space and Time is defeated. Tier 2 Prisms, as of now, only drop from the Warrior of Light.

Q: Where can I fight The Warrior of Light?
After defeating the Moon Lord, he will drop an item called "The Progenitor's Wish" which will summon the Warrior of Light.

Q: My world is under "Light Everlasting!" How do I fix it?
After the Moon Lord is defeated, the world will be trapped in a permanent day cycle until the Warrior of Light is defeated.

Q: I accidentally lost a Essence; how can I get it back?
After defeating the Vagrant of Space and Time, craft the Enigmatic Dust into an Enigmatic Memory. This will grant you a random Essence available to you upon use. Please note the two endgame Essences are unavailable through this method; lose them, and they're gone forever!

A bug that I've encountered in v0.6.7, don't know if you have already addressed this, I am unable to use the passive ability that requires all mechanical bosses to be dead but I can use the passive that requires all bosses to be dead

Did you load the mod mid playthrough on the affected world?
I believe there was some talk earlier that this may break progression.

Thanks, I'll get a fix working soon.
EDIT: This is likely because the associated dialogue for the passive hasn't been read, but I'll move the unlock requirement off of the dialogue.

Found a bug with Naganadel, when all swords are up my blocks are consumed even if the blocks aren't place physically. Sorry for the low quality demo

Thanks for the bug report. I'll try and find a fix but I don't really know how to fix this issue.

Can I get the crash logs?

I'm not sure which logs you need actually, but I used the ones that are in this path:
User/Documents/My Games/Terraria/ModLoader/Logs/client.log

While this is the correct log, it has to be right after a crash (or else it'll get overwritten.) If the crash happens again, that is the crash log I need. Good luck

when using stellar Nova's, for me at least, the actual diologue pop up thing tends to be very off screen, and also a tad large. Idk what this counts as, but i just wanted to note it.

 

[BadPiggy1024]

found some issues:
1. Rad Gun projectiles seem to deal ranged damage if perfectly reloaded.
2. The Vagrant of Space and Time does not try to despawn if he kills the player, and you can continue to fight him if you die besides your spawn point

This is a known problem as scaling UI is not something I can do with heavy drawbacks. It's sad, but as of now, I can't do much.

Thanks, I'll get around to fixing this.

Where do I get all the weapons from this mod? I've been wanting to get Alatus, Conqueror of Demons for a while now, but there's no recipe for it and I don't see an enemy that drops it in Recipe Browser. Since there's no wiki or discord for this mod I've been left in the dark and I can't find anything online. I also wanted to get Shadowbringer but it's the same thing with that too.

Any weapons that don't have an Aspect attached to them are unimplemented or their code has been used in other weapons. Eventually I'll get around to re-adding them.

 

[IDGCaptainRussia]

This mod... feels, weird, but in a good way, so here's my thoughts and findings:

1: the weapons have mechanics that aren't super unique, but still fit into Terraria quite well, I also appreciate some of the references (Persona lol), I do like how you get them.
2: lore, like, some REAL lore for once, with dialogs that feel like they have meaning. You did good imo on this.
3: 2 Starfarers to choose from, so you have replay value to pick.
4: interesting way to provide passive buffs to the player.
5: UI, lots of good UI, you don't see that often enough in Terraria!
6: Warrior of Light is interesting and unique fight in a different kind of not bad way

However, while I would like to explore the rest of the mod's content, I kept running into bugs, especially ones related to trying to start spritebatches after they were already started. This mostly accurred when trying to perform Stellar Novas.
2: Warrior of Light's Undertale/Delta Rune attack doesn't account for FPS above 60, the spikes move WAAY too fast on high refresh rate monitors.
3: seems trigger issues in other mods that I hadn't seen before, like triggering an issue in my mod (SGAmod, global projectiles) that wasn't a problem before.
4: if you hover your mouse over a starfarer when selecting one and then quickly move it off without touching either, the silhouette effect will remain, and if you move your curser over that starfarer again, it will continue to move away, you can keep doing this til it goes off the screen.
