I need help with a re-spawn mod

EGWolfwood · Mar 11, 2019

After having tried the new drop pods, I decided to to make my own planetary re-spawn vehicle. But the mod I've made is not working correctly. The thumbnail won't show up, the title/name isn't showing up correctly, & it only works on the Earth like planet. The tutorial I used is from before the survival update. Any & all help with these issues is greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Interestingly, I have the same issue with the thumbnail and can't find the proper file to edit to add language versions of the descriptions so that people can add their own languages to my mod. I've already made a successful respawn ship mod that uses all the planets, I came here to ask questions about making it more advanced though.

I'm trying to wrap my head around how everything works. I tried two options: replacing the default ship and adding a new one. But it seems nothing I do is taking an effect, I always end-up re-spawning on the default ship, can someone shine a light on what I might be doing wrong?

Just to clarify, I'm trying to make a custom respawn ship for moons.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Definitions xmlns:xsi="https://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="https://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

And I noticed I also needed localization for the display name, so I also created

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
  <!-- 
	Microsoft ResX Schema 
   
	Version 2.0
   
	The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
	that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
	various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
	associated with the data types.
   
	Example:
   
	... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
	<resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
	<resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
	<resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
	<resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
	<data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
	<data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
	<data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
		<value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>
	</data>
	<data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
		<value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>
		<comment>This is a comment</comment>
	</data>
			   
	There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
	name/value pairs.
   
	Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
	type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
	text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
	Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
	mimetype set.
   
	The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
	ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
	extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
   
	Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
	that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
	read any of the formats listed below.
   
	mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
	value   : The object must be serialized with 
			: System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
			: and then encoded with base64 encoding.
   
	mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
	value   : The object must be serialized with 
			: System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
			: and then encoded with base64 encoding.

	mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
	value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
			: using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
			: and then encoded with base64 encoding.

I used the following guide on Steam, I hope it helps.

How did you get your Re-spawn ship mod to work on all the planets?
I'd be very happy for any help you can give.

Thanks ^_^
