This has been my favorite character creation extender for years

Well-designed and follows a logical flow. Still works well

ive gone and narrowed down my subbed mods, it is not 49 anymore

just enough, im at 49 lol, nice job

Just here for the slick, clean UI. :D

please help a bugs stopping me from typing character names, i need more space in the name barr.

Alright, thanks for the heads up! I'll look into my load order and poke around a little to see what might the culprit be.

I don't play hardcore/"arcade"... like ever, nor is the frackin races thing all too notable as it that bug only occurs occasionally. Just something I figured to mention. owo

This mod just changes the name of the highest difficulty to "ARCADE", and shouldn't affect the gameplay at all after selecting a character.

I've never used any of the Frackin mods and have no idea why that error might occur

I hadn't checked as of late, but does the "arcade" mod for this work or is it still broken?

Also, I noticed (when using FR) that sometimes the races don't spawn with the proper description, do you by chance know if there is a way to fix that?

How can i fix this ?

Thanks a bunch for the mod, this works much better for my resolution than XBawks' mod. The aesthetics are more pleasing as well.

better than Xbawks

Xbawks doesn't work like that... It should work fine...

does this crash if i uninstall xbawks and move to this one

Starbound may have updated and changed the JSON format yet again. I'm going to be busy for October but next month, if I remember and Starbound cooperates, I'll look into it!

im not sure if the screenshot is outdated, but the description for arcade in my game is "hunger, lose 50% income and drop items on death." this says nothing about being hardcore mode.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to respond so thoroughly to my question, FibS. i really enjoyed reading your answer and reasoning for changing the difficulty settings ^_^ Your explanation makes a lot of sense.

@Hanomaly

It's pettiness, to be honest. "Casual", "Survival", and "Hardcore" are all really memey game terms that I hate.

• Casual is a gamer slur so I took it out. To assert that this is a perfectly normal difficulty (despite not being the default selection), I called it Normal.

• In addition to hunger, Survival also disables ship-porting from in front of a background wall and increases drops on death, so I renamed it Hard.

• Hardcore is identical to Survival except with only one life. Most people would call this roguelike , but I consider that a "ripoff name" and avoid it because I feel it stagnates genres and encourages ripoffs / asset flips by passively enforcing using only a single game as reference. I call it Arcade because it's basically an arcade game except you're broke; many later-era actual arcade games have branching paths, RNG, and level-ups like today's roguelikes, & console ports of arcade games usually replace credits with a limited number of lives.

this is nice.

Out of curiosity is there a reason you changed the "Difficulty" translations for English? Normally the difficulty settings are "Casual - Hardcore - Survival", i thought.. but with this mod they are "Normal - Hard - Arcade"? Or... it seems to be this mod anyways.. since even in the screen shot it says these difficulty translations.

Anyway. Pretty interface look! i like this mod, very beautiful. i just wondered about the "Difficulty" words

Oh! Ok then, thanks! For some reason it didn't come up when I searched for it.

This mod is already on the Chucklefish site! In fact I put it there before I put it on Steam.

https://community.playstarbound.com/resources/solaerselect.1971/

It still says OUTDATED because I updated the version from four years ago and they haven't removed the tag, but this is the exact same upload that's on Steam and should work just fine.

Is there a way you can get this onto the chucklefish forums? Workshop is kinda glitchy, manual installation ensures it can be used even if steam's servers are down like they were yesterday.

Hi there! Nice mod =)

I have a question, I've only tested 2 mods, but, using custom races and "Arcade" difficulty makes me crash everytime I die. Seems like those mods need a special "Hardcore respawn" cinematic.

I honestly came here because of the fancy window. Is it part of the mod or it's something else?

patman agree with jame

The best character creation menu on Starbound in my opinion.

Mods don't have an API per se. You create mods by directly editing game files specifically designed to be edited by mods. It might be possible to have multiple pages with Lua scripting, but that's beyond my expertise at this time.

May I suggest the ability to have multiple race pages? Or is that hard to code with the current mod API?

This is my favorite extender now!

It's not possible to separate species by any perceived class (avian v. mammal etc.), as no such class is in the game files to make such a distnction. The only form of ordering is the ID given to each species, with the vanilla races being 0 through 6.

There are also no "tabs". If there were I would just put 200+ slots on 5+ pages of 30~40 slots each.

Maybe put multipe tabs to seperate avian, mammal, reptile, insectoid, and constuct species.

I don't have any other race slot mods so I had to replace it with Xbawks. And it's sad. :C

Does this work with xbawk's race's? (Aka, People who say to use xbawk's Extender?)

Perfect <3

is it compatable with xbawks?

Oh, and once the mod's aesthetic is finished, then I'll probably split it into versions with different numbers of race slots. I decided to go straight for 50 for the "main" version since anyone playing on a server probably needs that many

No other mods are needed for SolaerSelect.

SolaerSelect conflicts with any other mod that edits /interface/windowconfig/charcreation.config, which is to say, any other character creation mod. If it "doesn't work" then chances are you have another character creation mod and forgot to remove it

Doesn't work :C

Requires no other mods?

Oh man, I love this design.



Is there a way to get this with only 10 extra instead of 50?
I like only one or two extra races haha.

Better than Xbawk's! Thanks for the clean extender.

While it does have 50 race slots, this is my favorite design for a character extender yet!

This is really well done.

Best character Creation evar

All of the character creation strings and element positions are in /interface/windowconfig/charcreation.config

thats nice can you make a version for all gui looking so good!! pls!! :D

make version larger than the most common character extender

I allready use a mod which offers bout 50 slots :P
But thanks for uploading this one.

oh look, i can now get rid of the other character creation menu mod.

[Ednaps] If it was possible, I'd make it only display as many slots as you had, because I don't like having 30 blank slots either. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem Starbound has that functionality yet. :(


[DrPvtSkittles] Yeah, Steam users are dumb as heck, but well, that's their fault. They should learn how to mod if they're gonna try to mod!
