Starbound DLL mod, modders resource

HasiboundLite

Adds new Lua functions, fixes some bugs, and more.

For 64 bit Starbound only. I recommend to play with that version anyway.

Likely incompatible with my old DLLs, but this one makes them obsolete. It includes an improved songbook search, and (almost) every Lua function of the old one. Feature list below. I still have many things planned, but since the progress is so slow I wanted to release this now.

Consider supporting me on ko-fi, I really need it.

Installation

First put hasiboundlite.pak into your mods folder.

For the DLL:

• Replacer method: Navigate to your Starbound's win64 folder, rename the existing zlib1.dll as to not override it, and paste my zlib1.dll and hasiboundlite.dll. A downside is, this will also load the DLL when you run the starbound_server.exe, which will crash it.
• I will list other methods in the future.

Customization

You can unpack hasiboundlite.pak to see what it does and modify it like any other mod.

Features

I still have many things planned to add!

Lua functions

All Lua functions added by this DLL are prefixed with _ to avoid name clashing.

table or boolean _keys([number]) if a number is given returns whether the SDL_ScanCode key is pressed, else returns a table with every pressed key, in string:SDL_ScanCode pairs

string or boolean _textInputActive() returns string "chat" if the chat input field has focus, else returns whether Starbound wants text input (used to optionally ignore keypresses from _keys()

integer _reload([string or table]) if a string is given, reloads every asset matching it using Lua's pattern matching, if a table is given reloads all files equal to keys or values that are strings, else reloads every asset. Returns count of reloaded assets. This does not load new assets, and does not rebuild databases, thus not everything can be updated using this. It is however extremely fast.

An example is included in the .pak that lets you reload every script by pressing F5, and every asset if you additionally hold left shift!

[string] _clipboard([string]) if a string is given sets that string as Windows clipboard text, else returns the current

table _unsafe(string) if called with the configured unsafe_key (see Config section below) returns a table with functions that are normally unavailable, else throws an error. This is used to access functions like load and os.execute without disabling Starbound's safeScripts setting

[string] _star_chat_text() returns the current chat input field text

player _star_player() returns userdata with functions for the current player entity

• add_chat_message(string)
• integer, integer get_aim_position()
• set_body_directives(string)
• set_description(string)
• set_emote_directives(string)
• set_facialHair_group(string)
• set_facialHair_type(string)
• set_facialHair_directives(string)
• set_facialMask_group(string)
• set_facialMask_type(string)
• set_facialMask_directives(string)
• set_gender(string)
• set_hair_group(string)
• set_hair_type(string)
• set_hair_directives(string)
• set_name(string)
• set_personality(table) every field is optional and will update the current personality {idle = "idle.1", armIdle = "idle.1", headOffset = {0, 0}, armOffset = {0, 0}}
• set_species(string)

image _star_image(string) returns userdata with functions for the given image

• integer w() width
• integer h() height
• integer r(integer, integer)
• integer g(integer, integer)
• integer b(integer, integer)
• integer a(integer, integer)
• integer, integer, integer rgb(integer, integer)
• integer, integer, integer, integer rgba(integer, integer)

Songbook

• search/filter for songs (supports regular expression, automatic support for vanilla and extended songbook, can be modded to support other songbook replacers)
• automatically selects the new search field when opened
• navigate songs using arrow keys
• press Tab to switch between search field and band name, press Enter to play song

Widgets

• scroll areas now have smooth scrolling and support holding shift for scrolling horizontally
• improved scroll logic

Privacy

• do not send player inventory to server (prevents advanced item stealing)
• do not send aim position to server (only when both hands are empty) privacy.share_cursor

Tweaks

• world geometry can be made "hollow", allowing you to walk inside of it (if inside of it using a teleport, for example). This also vastly improves performance with /boxes enabled physics.hollow_world
• show your own characters (local entities) name when holding the highlight key (multiplayer only) tweaks.show_local_names
• render gui ontop of debug tweaks.interface_over_debug
• fix chatbubble movement delay
• players can't kick you out of seats anymore
• set team type to null (makes hostiles ignore you) tweaks.null_team
• always load player entities in world (can prevent lagspikes, but might reduce overall performance) tweaks.all_presence
• don't unload chunks (can prevent lagspikes and improve fast movement across planets, but might reduce overall performance) tweaks.unload_chunks

Config

The DLL uses its own config that can be modified ingame using commands. Examples:

/hasiboundlite config set physics.hollow_world true /hasiboundlite config set lua.unsafe_key test1234

By default every option will be set to no value, which in most cases means disabled. (physics.hollow_world for example is disabled, meaning vanilla world geometry)
