I'm confused, this is clientside?

<3 thank you very much! The mod is awesome!!!

Yeah. I't's fine.

Hello, want to use some of your textures for vanilla-friendly texture pack for our RP servers, if you okay with that? I will leave credits and links to mod on mod's description.

The Shreddys' Mod for sloped pipes still works.

Would it be possible to make a mod like this for pipes and girders? I know there's already one for pipes but it was discontinued two years ago and I'm not sure if it still works.

I finally uploaded the mod. https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1275148613

@Alb, thanks for giving me permission. I'll be sure to link to this mod page when I eventually get around to uploading it.

Here is my log file: pastebin.com/0t1mCcnB

I really don't know if any of the mods actually modify the chain files or not, but I also haven't checked every single one of them.

Then that means that there's another mod that is modifying the vanilla chain item, and that it's being loaded AFTER this mod. I think.

There is a simple way to fix this, though I would need to know what mod is touching the vanilla chains in order to get this fixed right and cleanly.

For now, I'd like to know what mods you're using so I can start to figure out the problem mod. (use pastebin or something) And to make things all official...

@Sentient Cookie, you MAY upload your workaround mod that adds the chain as a unique item. I simply request that you include my name as the original author and add a link to the original mod in your mod description, as well as details to what exactly you're mod is doing. When I find out what the problem is and upload my update-fix, and confirm that everything is ok, I would politely ask that you take down your mod.

And thank you for contacting me about this. All this was very profesional.

For some reason, I could never get the mod to work. I ended up unpacking your .pak file and using all of your assets to create a separate mod that adds a new chain item into the game. So far, it's working as it should be, thanks to your scripting and image files.

I won't upload it anywhere unless you give me permission to do so, since all of the files I used are yours [minus the vanilla files I modified].

Love the second image ...LOL
xD Subbed.

can you make it so one chain isn't facing right or left.

I usually play it with some friends so I'll let you know if I do

oh HELL YES

I don't know. I never really fool around with multiplayer.

Is this client based?

i like the meme you made

Mods like these should be considered to be added into the base game.

if i knew more about working with mods than its time consuming than I'd try my hand at it, but thats all I know. (My mild ADHD would prevent me from focusing anywho) you desurve props for your mod, espesily since you seem to be one of the few that care about how crappy the vanila chains are.

Hey no problem! For a long time I wondered why no one else did this already. So I finally got around to making it and it turned out to be pretty easy.

this mod is suprisingly helpful. Alb, thanks for making it.

Oh, I forgot I made that change. I'll change it back to 530 right now.

Hey, I’ve been having issues with your mod. So I took a peek. And In chain.material I changed "zLevel" : 531 into "zLevel" : 530 which matches the vanilla tungsten chain. It seems to work fine after the change. Perhaps there’s some mod buried in my list of over 200 that was conflicting.

If it says that Better Chains is loaded, then it's loaded. The assets are there. If there's some sort of error, it will also show up on the log.

But if there's a compatibility issue, or something overwriting my chains changes, it won't show up.

The other thing you could do is check out the folder \SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\211820\1133358548 - Inside that folder is my mod as contents.pak. That one thing should be the only thing in that folder. You could move that .pak to \SteamLibrary\steamapps\Common\Starbound\mods\ folder (and rename it if you want) to see if that works.

I don't have a mod that changes chains i suppose, maybe it didn't load in steam (same issue with garry's mod, sometimes you have to restart the game couple of times to download the mod)

Do you have any other mods that touch cains at all? All this mod does is replaces the texture and adds a new file "betterchainstemplate.config" (which I seriously doubt any other mod would overwrite).

If another mod is overwriting my texture or something, I can update the metadata file to make sure my mod load later than it. I just need to know what mod it is.

Now it works... i have no idea what happened before

I already searched it, the only thing that is related to your mod is that it successfully loaded.

Just post it. It's still helpful for finding errors during load.

How? Post your starbound.log file found in your storage folder.

There is no crash, its just that i craft tungsten chains and its still in normal texture

It doesn't work for meeeee

WOOO my first mod with 1000 subs! :D

Why was this never in vanila to begin with?

i made tungsten chains and this mod doesn't work :/

*thumbs up* for Khaalesi

I love you

The race is glitch. The back item is "avian god wings" that's been altered by my other mod Alternate animated wings . The chest and armor is the Valkyrie set from FU dyed red.

I love this, could you do a version for rope?

@Striker Animations: Actually, that is a cosmetic helm. No clue what the back item is, though.

What race is that?

hail satan

The joined points are a touch bulky for my taste, but infinitely better than not having them join. Thank you for this.

now i remembered why i didnt used chains that much in my builds

Haha thank you :)

That second picture is very fitting.

god bless you
