v4.0 Open Your Starbound

https://github.com/WasabiRaptor/Starbecue/releases/tag/v4.0

Changes (From 3.0)

• New engine (again) This time it's a fork of OSB, I am also contributing to OSB, in the future it may not need to be a separate fork

  • This means you get all the amazing mods that use OSB compatible, seriously, the game can do so much more go check the workshop for things that use OSB, seriously

• Animations have been optimized incredibly

  • only vore compatible entities load vore animations

  • only the relevant parts that are selected are loaded

  • parts are now set up in 'modules' that can be changed out on the fly, and can have multiple variants

  • Images for parts are generated from the base ones on load for each species, but can have unique ones defined

  • blank ones are generated for species that don't have compatibility patches, so I won't have to see that filling up logs people send me

  • Cosmetics can support having images for the vore animation parts, have I made any myself to use this feature? no I haven't!

    • Yes this feature will work with OSB's 12 extra cosmetic slots

    • Pro tip, in OSB you can middle click to hide a cosmetic/armor, now you won't need any "nude" armor in the cosmetic slot

• Numerous other backend changes

  • All Monsters and NPCs should load SBQ's scripts to handle messages now

    • unless I have specifically marked them incompatible

  • Compatibility patches now only need a single file, from which all the required data is then copied to other files where it belongs when the mod loads

  • Generate blank .raceeffect files for every race so I won't have to see FU polluting the error log

    • Please stop playing with FU

• New System for selecting parts

  • instead of a toggle for parts being enabled, each part now has a dropdown to select a different module to use

  • Each one has a disabled, default, and infuse state

  • The "infuse" version of the part simply provides the relevant infuse action (Belly TF, Cock TF, etc.) without enabling the part

    • This is how one can have Players/NPCs require it, and causes the "need infuse" dialogue lines to trigger (for example, asking Helena for Cock Vore will make her mention needing to do Cock TF first)

    • When this is selected it will always use the Prey's selected module for the relevant infuse

• Preds now have a dynamic amount of prey slots available

  • Preds start with 4 slots, and increase the amount by consuming rock candy

  • it is capped at 32 slots, this is more than anyone should ever need

• Rock candy was added to more loot tables

  • The scaling of digest power to the candy bonuses was adjusted

  • Tier 10 Rock candy can be found in challenge room loot

• New parts

  • Naga Tail

    • Use the OV action a second time to squeeze prey down into your tail belly

    • Works with any humanoid species that has a compatibility patch

  • Double Boobs

    • Use the BV action after your first set of breasts are full to put prey into the second pair

• Infuse system has been reworked

  • card slots in the settings have been removed, remove any NPC cards you want to save before updating

• Pred HUD has been redesigned some to be more clear what area it covers

  • New "Capture" action to use on prey from the HUD

    • Capturing a Prey will despawn them from the world and store them within you

    • Captured Prey occupy your body and contribute size the same as the state they were in before capture

    • Captured Prey can be released at any time later to spawn them back in

    • Capturing a player will copy their state similarly, but they will not be spawned in as NPCs when released

      • This is intended for "perma" roleplay purposes for when a player might need to disconnect

• New "Traps"

  • Placeable wired Growth Ray Beam

  • Placeable wired Shrink Ray Beam

  • Therianizing Rock

  • Feminizing Rock

  • Masculinzing Rock

  • Genderizing Rock

• Nominomicon now overlays an icon over entities it can configure

  • Can configure Size beam traps

  • Can configure Mouse holes / Mouse Rooms

• SBQ Controller can now support two different click actions and properly shows the two different icons while still being two handed

• SBQ Request controller!

  • For prey to force their way into compatible preds!

• Deed was reworked slightly

  • Summoning a new tenant now lists a dropdown

  • OC NPCs and Randomly generated NPCs have a spacer between them in the list

  • the default "Random" tenant from a room with no tags can sometimes result in an OC NPC spawning now

  • Cards will be immediately accepted in the insert tenant slot if they are applicable

• Settings structure has been improved

  • Settings and upgrades are now versioned, so any future changes can avoid issues and update them accordingly

• Administration tools

  • the 'Override Enforcer' object added in the tail end of 3.0 has been replaced

  • use the /sbq config command to open a menu to configure server overrides

    • This GUI will be improved later, for now it requires typing out raw json into its inputs for disabling certain settings server wide or local to the current world

• Commands, yes really, OSB makes modded / commands actually useful, in retail you can only make macros for retail commands and nothing else without disabling safe scripts

  • /sbq escape will make you immediately escape from any pred

  • /sbq settings will open the settings menu (it is still available from the toolbar)

  • /sbq config opens the sbq server config menu

  • /sbq skiptotier <number> will automatically apply the relevant candy upgrades up to a tier, this is also added to the /bountyhunter macro from the vanilla game

  • and some more that are just for debug purposes, they're all listed under /sbq help

• Pokemon races were moved to a seperate .pak (included by default)

  • Vaporeon

  • Flareon

  • Nickit (Anthro)

  • Meowscarada

  • Vulipx New

  • Absol New

  • Luxio New

• Monsters no longer provide digestion drops, these were intended to just store NPC data anyway

• You can now have negative digest resistance so you can melt up to 100% faster

• New OC NPCs

  • Izzy (Absol)

  • Dreccan (Deer)

  • Razuel (Dragon)

  • Stardust (Zorua)

Bugs Fixed?

• yes

Things of note that are not in yet

• ingame customization menu for post TF

  • this is waiting on some features in OSB main before implementation

  • until such time, one can use the /identity commands in OSB to manually set values

  • I would reccommend doing /identity randomize until you get a good result for now
