It has a rather isolated design, incompatibilities are unlikely.

is this FU compatible and also is it extended story compatible?

Yes, I opened starbound.config and adjusted the settings like

"scriptInstructionLimit" : 40000000,
"scriptInstructionMeasureInterval" : 2500,
"scriptRecursionLimit" : 50,

and cleared the error.

I don't think it's related, from what I've tested, the worst this mod can cause is a stutter when you wear an item with a lot of custom data.

A script delta change of 3-4 is kind of common due to the mod trying to keep a 4x headroom.

[14:45:33.869] [Warn] antr_cosmeticEffects > Update time overrun, setting own script delta to 3

I'm getting the above error with severe performance degradation in certain places (gic starting base). I think I need to optimize the code of the antr_cosmeticEffects.lua script.

Most of the items this mod and its addon edit are mostly cosmetic or utility related.

Unfortunately, the only way to tell if an item has cosmetic effects is to wear it, I haven't been able to add an indicator to display them, as it will likely conflict with tooltip mods.


I posted the full list of affected item IDs in the description of both this mod and the utility addon.

so how would i get one of these?

It would work if i actually enclosed it in square brackets.

"statusEffectsC" : ["xenonglow"]

Same way you would put a normal status effect on an item, only you would add an extra "C" to the end of the parameter, all effects will work but none will show up in the description box.

For example if you add the following parameter to a clothing's config it will apply the xenon lamp's effect only while in the cosmetic slot, this can be combined with the normal statusEffects to get it to work on both slots.

"statusEffectsC" : {"xenonglow"}


Also, sometimes it might take a bit for the effect to update due to the performance protection, the script resets back to max update speed if you change worlds or relog.

can you give some examples of what cosmetic and utility effects are available for me to use on my clothing? i understand it a bit but idk what cosmetic effects and which certain utility you can use

Oh yeah, it is kinda all lighting effects lol

I think I got all the cosmetics, posted all of the more utility oriented effects as a seperate mod .

Oddly enough, it was mostly glow and point light effects, for some reason I thought there were more..

Wasn't sure what to do about augments so I didn't touch them.

Ah ok.

Fair lol

@Armok
Kind of forgot about cosmetic buffs, guess I'm making an addon for that.

My intention was more with adding inconsequential "vanity" effects, like what I did with Player Voice, as I didn't want to turn the cosmetic slots into another set functional slots.


@tigerfestival1988
Only if the augment is modded to use that extra parameter.

So with this mod, will augmented cosmetics work?

Always wanted to see something like this, hopefully this has built-in support for vanilla's effect-giving cosmetics?
