Yea alright, that sounds like a probably good idea.
Though that could further unlock a few more doors, if it breaks then I'm not gonna blame you

This mod's version would suffice for most.
Thank you for the answers!

Hit sounds comes with starbound as it is, I only added death noises as an extension to it. I am not sure how Starbound implemented hit sounds, but I can say with 100% certainty that death sounds are randomly selected.

I could do an update where its possible to define two subtables there, for male and female deaths respectively, but as far as damage goes I am not sure.

Ah- then that might complicate matters.
I went ahead to test the death noises (I added 2), which seems to pick at random regardless of gender, which also proves further that we could only have one death noise for player characters to avoid odd outcome (Don't get me wrong, but having the male player roll the female's death sound is rather funny but unintended).

And as for the hit noises, does it work in a 1:1 ratio? (E.g. 3 hit sounds for male and 3 hit sounds for female)

Or I'm still taking it wrong because it wasn't answered if it was only applicable for NPC creatures

Yeah its random hit sounds, selects out of the list

Alright!

Also one thing: I took a peek at the Github page and I noticed there are more than two ouchNoises in the example. Does that mean it's possible to have random hit sounds (Since there's only one for each gender)

Or I took that wrong and that's only available for other creatures

You can include the json key in your mod, but to actually hear the sounds, you will need to have the mod installed. Thankfully this setup does make it an optional addon.

Do we need to sub to this mod in order for it to work or just by adding the json key in the .player file?

May not be this mod. SB mods are a hellhole so it could be this or it could be something else.

This mod is strictly a framework anyway, so it doesn't add new content on its own, just an event handler.

Does this mod conflict with other mods? Just tried this one out for myself and the game froze/returned to menu screen with an error message when I died. The error read, "(JsonException) Improper conversion to JsonArray from object."

This mod deserves more recognition. I feel it has great potential.
Personally, I would dream of being able to set individual sounds for eating and drinking.

But if we're talking about functionality,
In the current "NPC voice doesn't change" state, in a single play (other than multiplayer) You won't hear death sounds outside of the player race.
Therefore, for those who enjoy playing slowly with one race, it's not much different than a mod that just changes the death sounds.

(sighs) I want demand...

I'm using a translation, so I'm sorry if the text is wrong.

this may go well with mods that are baised off of other games, such as the inkling race mod, halo races, and the Eevee race

nice, gonna watch out for stuff on da workshop :papyrus:

Yeah thanks. Part of why I made the system so easy to use is because my ultimate goal is to see this adopted by other modders. I think that making it as simple as adding a new json value should streamline the process for it to not be dubbed extra, since all a modder has to do is add that to their species file and say "Hey get this workshop item" in their mod.

not sure if it will be popular (since similar api to add custom look of the same items, depending on species wearing them, was never used by anyone), but thanks - looks really interesting
