Redone Ship Encounters - Names, Icons, Descriptions, and Horizons

Have you ever been frustrated with the lack of details provided in the Navigation Menu? This is the mod for you.

Maybe you're looking for a particular enemy ship to attack and clear. Maybe you're looking for a specific merchant ship. Either way, the vanilla game isn't very good at telling you what kind of ship you're going towards, and many mods copy this pattern. Fear not, reader of this description, for I have brought you a solution - I present to you, Redone Ship Encounters!

With this mod, many ships have been given a unique name, description, icon, and horizon. Now, not only can you tell what ship you're going to be flying towards, but once you arrive, you can see what they actually look like as well - no more of the same ship image showing up every time. I've also removed asteroids from several horizon images that didn't need them, such as Space Stations, Anomalies, and the Generic Ship horizon.

This mod is completely compatible with Detailed Ship Encounters. In fact, it is recommended that you use that mod in combination with this one for the time being. Support for Redone Ship Encounters is very behind due to a long period of no updates being provided, and Detailed Ship Encounters will cover the ones I have yet to patch.

All ship encounters are stored in the file system_objects.config. This includes their names, descriptions, icons, and horizon images, despite all of them using roughly the same ones in the vanilla game. All that I have done is create new horizons and icons, then patched the file to replace the existing ones, as well as give them more specific names and unique descriptions. For example, here's what I did for the Pirate Ship.


Built-in support is handled similarly. Patches with multiple patch arrays in them are separated by brackets. At the start of these arrays, a simple test patch can determine whether or not the whole array is going to be run. You could do tests for every single ship type added by a mod, but simply testing for one of them is all that's really necessary. For example, here's the part of the patch where I test for More NPC Ships, and proceed with the patch if it's present.







Thank you to Gainem, who painted the desgins of several ships for me. I don't know where Gainem is anymore - they've left the Starbound community, and I have no way of contacting them or tracking them down - but I will be forever greatful for their contributions to this project. I miss you, old friend. I hope you're doing well, wherever you are.

And, of course, thank you to all of the wonderful people using this mod. Your love and support means the world to me. I hope you're doing well, too.
