@Devonax Sayter would need permission from RyuujinZERO to integrate Avali into FU.

Ah yes, I implemented the BYOS bag for when people install this mod after the fact. In such scenarios the SAIL would not have been correctly generated and would still have the default cat as the pet ship. The bag allows you to get around this.

In any case, I am glad you got things to work for ya :)

I really hope that soon the people from FU are going to fully incorporate the bigger and popular race mods into their mod like they did with the nightar etc.

The Avali, as far I have seen, is probably the biggest and most used race mod out there and I find it weird that Sayter or the team have not made efforts yet to have this race fully supported so you dont need to do all this digging and installing additional mods just to get the race fully working (Ship and SAIL)

mod 2: FU/ztarbound S.A.I.L. Modded Race Support
// This will make your SAIL have the FU version with all the extra options.

When I combine those mods with this Pet mod then my flying drone is waiting for me on my Avali ship right from the start and I do not have to use the BYOS bag this mod provides, but like I said earlier, WITH these two mods or WITHOUT those two mods, the SAIL in the BYOS bag always gives me a cat, which does not really matter much because the flying drone is working with the (indestructable) FU SAIL that is on the Avali ship, with these 2 mods.

@Wolf
I found that out a few hours ago before I went to bed (just woke up). It seems that the Avali is the most hand-on mod I have ever used with starbound. There is actuallly 2 mods that you need to get the Avali working correctly with FU and you would not need your BYOS bag (it gives me a cat pet everytime anyway).

mod 1: [OFFICIAL] FU BYOS Modded Race Patch (FR Supported Races)
// This makes sure that the SAIL in your Avali ship gives you the question to either have the BYOS ship or the Avali ship. It's important to note though that the SAIL itself will not have the updated "new" FU menu with the balance (currency) option.. It's old SAIL.. but..

--CONTINUED--

I believe FU BYOS requires this compatibility patch to work correctly with Avali: https://steamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1194878261&searchtext=FU+BYOS

I do not know what I am doing wrong but:
1: I have FU installed and I am not getting the question to have my default ship or the BYOS ship like all the other races..

2: The SAIL is already on the ship and CANNOT be broken and has the old layout, not the new FU one.

3: I can craft the BYOS bag and place the new SAIL which DOES give me the new menu but still no question about default ship or BYOS ship.

4: Even after placing the new SAIL I cannot break the old SAIL.

5: When placing the new SAIL im getting a human pet CAT, not a drone, no matter how many times I replace the damn thing.

info: I made a totally new character and have the newest version of you mod, the FU mod and the Avali race mod.

No worries, glad it was fixed.

Ah okay, mb. Made a new SAIL and it reset so it's fixed

If you had a FU generated ship before installing this mod, the SAIL might need to be updated, check the description, namely the info under "What has Changed."

Okay, so for some reason I still have a cat with FU, and I'm using normal Avali so idk what's going on.

thats a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tau drone

Is it me or does this mod not currently work in 1.4?

Why it had to be a pet? :'( it would have been awesome to use the drone to explore or something

my pet is flashing in and out of existanc. can i have some help?

I have both SmolAvali, and regular ones. The one I'm trying to use this mod with is the regular Avali. I also have Novali, but am not using them. Sorry if that is a bit confusing.

Oh, okay I think I see the problem. It appears you're using SmolAvali which is by technicality a brand new race in terms of patching configs in the files.

I don't see anything relevant to your mod in my starbound.log, but I will link it anyway. Thanks for the help, whether you manage eventually to figure it out or not. if there's anything else that will help, feel free to ask.

Damn, I'll try to see if I get the same result on my side. Meanwhile if you want, you can try getting the bag SAIL again, and then upload your starbound.log to pastebin for me to inspect.

I'm using FU BYOS, and an existing character, and I still get a cat after replacing my SAIL with one from this mod's bag. Any help would be much appreciated.

I can't replicate your issue. Confirm this is the only Avali drone pet mod you have installed. If that checks out, try giving me more details and if possible, give me your starbound.log via pastebin, hastebin, etc.

My pet jsut won't spawn. I don't have FU BYOS but i do have FU itself. also the avali alternative ship and teir 9 ships installed. I had a cat but now it's gone but I cant get my new pet to appear. I can't change the SAIL unit either.

Compatibility for FU's BYOS has been added now. However, if you already had an existing BYOS ship, your pet will not update! But fear not!

To update your existing BYOS ship's pet, you'll need to switch out your S.A.I.L. terminal for a new one. From the Avali nanolathe, you will find a new item called "Avali FU BYOS Bag." It acts like a reward bag, but gives you a new S.A.I.L.; break down your old one and switch it out for this new one. Upon doing so, your drone pet should spawn appropriately.

If you encounter any problems, let me know!

I think I figured out the problem and have a preliminary fix. Just need to tidy up some ends and hopefully the fix can go out soon.

Same problem as Gratuitous Lurking. I assume it's because the ship pet is designed to spawn from the FU BYOS SAIL console and the Avali don't have a pet normally, so it defaults to a cat.

I'll look into that

This doesn't seem to work with the FU BYOS version? When I spawn an Avali with BYOS option it gives me a cat for the ship.

From the Avali nanolathe

Wait is thi made after the mech update?

Purchasable Pets version is out! See description.

@*Yuki* No, there shouldn't be any dependency on the Avali race mod as far as I can tell.

will purchasable pets version require avali mod installed?

Been looking forward to this version of the drone getting updated again. I don't use Purchaseable Pets.

Is this a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Tau reference you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ xenos lover heretic?

@Yay!, I hope to see this mod come to light one day cause we need the "Auto-Shop". XD Hopefully it'd become a normal thing for Starbound to be honest, or Steam in general lol It'd make it way easier to make packs cause then, You can download most of all mods and it'll sort'em out and even have manual pick, to self sort mods. Ahhhh! See, more ideas for it already, All cause the desire of this little drone. :3

@HLFlare Yep true. And no worries! :)

@Wolf It may be a small idea but, You know what they say. "Plant a seed, get a Tree" I think that's how the saying goes ahaha ^_^' But hey, If we got that ball rolling it'll only get better overtime or wouldn't even need updating at all cause of it's primary functionallity. :D P.S. Sorry I'm a little sociable but socially awkward. haha ^_^'

@HLFlare An indicator for when mods overwrite equivalent files would be nice I suppose.

@Wolf Well sounds good to me, I just hope I can get my 500+ mods to work all together cause imagine having a direct patch to Starbound that sorts out your mods and Sifts/Filters them so you can even have an organizer that indicate which ones are/aren't compatible and a Option to select from a "Auto-list" of automatically sorted mods so you could just go into a game with ease. Plus it'd make real good use for steams workshop in general honestly. I'd call a "Mod or Update" like this: (The Super Workshop)

@HLFlare It shouldn't trip over any other mods except for Avali (Triage) as it modifies the ship's techstation to use this pet. I'll be doing as much as I can to keep it updated.

I have a very large list of mods, This will be included but it's a list of mods I all want to work together but there is 500+ and I just wanna get the most outta my game. DX Especially if I get to have this cute drone :3
