[MOD] (Alpha 9) OmniCorp - Area effect vanilla style shields-plus armour shield

[popster99]

for the work benched you can ask for winter hermits stuff he stuffified the cook stove

Update to batteries, even though plasteel is kind of weak and is only 1 notch above steel, it now does not do the explodey thing, it will still shortcircuit in rain but will not explode randomly. Felt like this was a nice compromise.

First batch of PODs have been released, Feedback is welcome, also ideas on further PODs are welcome. Expect this one to get updated quite soon as im tweaking the shield one a little currently but wanted to get it out.

Massive thanks to JAXXA for lending me his shield code. Cheers buddy!

All updated to Alpha9, go nuts.

Is it possible to leave the vanilla turret in the game?
As of now I cant built a turret without a gun

[general222291]

Can you put multiple guns on one turret, if not can you add that feature, it would be very useful for putting guns that are not as powerful as my colonist's weapons to use!

[skullywag]

I can definitley put a version which keeps the core turret active up. Its removed as I personally dont like getting a free fixed LMG from steel whem i cant make one for my colonists...its emersion breaking.

General, im not sure its possible in the purest sense but i coukd maybe do a turret that takes 2 guns and fires twice as fast....maybe...

[general222291]

Well, its up to you, but its a great mod anyway, we should just be thankful that there are people out there willing to put the effort in the mod these games (and Tynan of course )

If you could put that version up, that'd be great, as I am using both yours and vanilla turrets mods and it is not so good when I can build double vanilla and not the ordinary one. This way you are giving the player a choice of which one (or both) to use, which is always good.
On the double turret, maybe you can create a bigger (and a bit more expensive and power hungry) turret that fires both weapons at the same time?

[skullywag]

Ill update the turret mod shortly to have a version with the vanilla turret enabled.

Updated omni turbines to bring them inline with the new power update for the vanilla ones.

Edit - actually this is easy and im being dumb, open up the mod and go to defs/building_security.xml open it and edit the defname from "turretGun" to anything else "omniTurretGun" would do. This should re-enable the vanilla gun.

Redownload PODs if youre using EdB prepare carefully.

Keep seeing this in debug after researching gun turret cooling:

First off, really love the turret mod, it was pretty broken to be able to just build an infinite number of turrets at with just steel.  However I have encountered some... unusual turret behavior. 

They were working normally, with the gun's normal rate of fire applied to the turret, until I researched gun cooling.  Now my simple pistol turret has transformed into a gatling gun of terror that single handedly wiped out a massive wave of incoming tribals.

Now, I am running a bunch of other mods, but none that affect weaponry, so I think I'm safe in assuming they aren't the problem, but I'd be more than happy to post what I'm running if I am mistaken.



Once again, thanks!

[skullywag]

Haha. Wow i ballsed up the research mod...ill fix tonight....lol dat pistol though...

[nerevar]

My turrets went back to acting normally again today, very strange.  I reloaded last night and it didn't fix it.  Working great for now though.
