Offline Mod V2 is out!
After almost a year, we're finally releasing the new and remade version of the offline mod! We realized the old one could've been improved, there were a lot of bugs as well, and the setup was fairly technical for most users. But this release fixes that.
You do not need to download multiple files anymore, there is only one. It is bundled with the .unity3d files, all of the cache, and most importantly, our new launcher!
With it, you can easily copy the cache folder to the required location without doing it manually, or create/backup avatars without doing it yourself. And if you don't want to keep launching two different executables, you can start playing the game from the launcher itself.
Download the file here! (205 mb zipped, 666 mb unzipped)
What's changed?
Currency saving/loading works (silver, gold)
XP (and also level) saving/loading works
Profile menu works
Chat log works (previously it did not log your messages)
Missing planets send you back to the wardrobe
Purchasing items from the shop works (you'll lose them if you restart though)
Removed minimap lag, no need to make it slow on modern computers
Zooming is no longer tied to your FPS
VSync is forced enabled
Ship editor works, but doors won't open, furniture doesn't work and your ship will reset if you exit ship editor
Avatar preview should be more stable with updating
New launcher!
However, we still do not have any new files, so you are only able to go to the food system, ninja system, haunted system + the haunted maze. QB City kind of works, but it won't let you walk around or anything, since we don't even have the original ship module data for it, furthermore, the ship functionality is tied to this, which is still buggy, as we've said above.
Instructions
First, download the file provided above, unzip it to a folder somewhere on your desktop for example.
Run StarLauncher.exe and select Copy cache. That will copy everything from the Cache folder into the required location. Then select Create avatar and choose whichever species you want to use. Finally, select Play, and you should be able to play!
Troubleshooting
As this mod is still buggy, you can't play without encountering bugs. However, we know some solutions for a few of them:
Problem: I can't go to the galaxy map or to a planet!
Solution: Close the game and try copying cache again until it works.
Problem: There are many wardrobe items that keep loading!
Solution: This is not a bug (sort of). This is due to a lot of assets missing from the cache, which we don't currently have. If you believe you have cache on your old computer, please check the credits section below for the Discord server invite.
If you encounter any other bug that we don't know about, please write about it on our Discord server, which you can find the invite to in the credits section below.
