Installation Instructions


Installation is fairly simple. After downloading the restingchair.zip file, navigate to your Steam Starbound folder, usually found at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound

Create a new folder in the Starbound folder and name it "mods" (without the quotations).

Then extract the restingchair.zip folder into the newly created mods folder. You can also extract the files and move the new extracted restingchair folder into the mods folder.

Now that we have our mod set up, we need to tell the game to use it in place of the default assets. This is extremely simple. Go back to your main Starbound directory:
[Steam directory]\SteamApps\common\Starbound?
and open the folder corresponding to your operating system (for me, it's win32). Now, within this folder, locate the bootstrap.config file, and open it with Notepad or some similar software. You should see a relatively small amount of text here, all you need to do is add an additional assetSource for the mod you just added.

Assuming you haven't added any other mods using this method, your bootstrap.config file should look something like this (and if you have, you probably already know what to do):

{
"assetSources" : [
"../assets",
"../mods/restingchair"
],
"storageDirectory" : ".."
}

Be sure to include a comma after each assetSource other than the final one or things will break. If you have not installed any other mods this way, you can simply copy paste all of the text above over the text currently in the bootstrap file. Save the boostrap.config file, and you're done.

Now when you launch Starbound, the game should automatically look at any modded files you included in place of the default assets, and you can even include entirely new files in your mods.

To disable a mod, simply remove it from your bootstrap.config.



Thank you for downloading my first mod. It's simple and doesn't do a whole lot, but it was fun messing around and learning new things.
