Embrasures v2.0.5
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Description:
Embrasures is a mod that adds 4 new wall types (one for metal, stone, wood and logs). The walls have openings for colonists to shoot at their enemies, while not allowing any to pass through.
Basically, they look like holes in the walls but they work more like like impassable sand bags (it looks like a hole in each block but the whole block is open to let through bullets).
Research:
- Reinforced metal embrasures. (Adds 220 hp)
- Fire resistant metal embrasures.
Mod Team:
Sunspots
PunisheR007
abcdef

I'll have a look, will get it fixed.
soo,is it still " broken " ? if they can pass , then ill whait until its fixt :)
lol i have only just seen this was just about to complete updating it aswell i have no issues with mine so far either. I might add a wood wall version to it as well :).
All fixed
yeee, that broke my game xD bhaa, o well. still have some issjus with other mods not beeing all that also with other mods, but somthing diddent click. nothing to do about it hehe i will start it off and then add mods to se if enything dosent work with it

: Edit : it sems that it broke becose of saved game , far as i can tell, so starting a new colony with the mods i have diddent crasj it, hopfully not later eather, so a new game is more or less needed , at least for me to get it to work.
Just so everybody knows - if the mod breaks again or you find something that will improve upon the basic concept, please feel free to fix or improve upon the project.
Anyone is also free to completely integrate it into any other mod/mod-pack, as long as some basic credit is given.

Good Job :D
The Embrasures are currently letting people pass through them. I'm pretty sure they weren't doing that in the alpha 3 version.

Please re-download, i fixed that prob a couple of days ago :)
Thanks for the update, very useful mod :D
I found a very strange bug, if you surround the shooter totally (with wall, no doors), the shooter or the enemy will never fire by itself, you can only manual it.
I know normally people won't surround themself.. but I have over 100 wandering zombies outside, I just can't let anyone in or out the village at all xD
This issue also bring the issue enemy will attack stone wall, but no one will do auto combat to prevent enemy come near the wall like usually :<
I think it's because the new region system? wondering if there are any chance to fix it from the mod?
I use them inside my base to allow lighting through, as well, their great for that.
One of my favorite mods. I am really happy to see it in A4.

My bad! Re-downloading now.
Great mod! :D
But is it possible to allow turrets to shoot through the walls as well (maybe only if they are placed right in front of the wall)?
I do not know if this is possible (i am not familiar with rimworld modding).

Yeah, my turrets act strange on the alpha 4 update. They don't seem to find targets or something if I have embrasures around.

That would be possible, i was thinking about it a few days ago as well, just have been a little busy.
Excellent idea. No rush, just when you get a chance, man.
Has anyone else noticed that these embrasures are never repaired by colonists once damaged? Might it be a conflict with another mod? I have a few. Uncertain what could cause that though... the colonists just never go repair them, and you can't order them to do so.

are your embrasures in a home zone? because in Alpha4 you now need to home zone all the buildings you want to be repaired. :)

I will check that. I wasn't aware of that feature!
This mod, combined with the artillery mod makes short work of pirates. So far I've been able to repel 1:10 attacks. Although I'm still trying to find the most efficient setup.
Stone walls are great, but kinda expensive (already used all the rock rubble) and I've been having to "collapse" roofs in order to keep repairing the walls.
I wish there was a quarry mod, all that rock my colonists keep mining could be of use.
Thanks!

I came through the same problem before and now I figure it out. All we have to do is keeping a path available from our turrets to our enemies. The path can have sandbags or other passable objects in it but not any door. Hope this help :)
Kinda wierd i did based my fences on embrasures in clutter and they work fine with turrets even the high one.
I am getting the same issue with the clutter metal fence.
I would guess it is some form of optimization that has been added to the game as there isn't any usual way to fire through impassable walls, to it is not bothered checking for target outside the area it is in.
Found the problem
(http://s11.postimg.org/ay5fz21mb/screenshot3.png)
If i seal the back entrance with wall or doors turrets wont see targets but with the hole as it is now, they shoot thrugh fence without problem.
im not sure how to fix that other than alter bullet flight path class.

It must have something to do with the regions, then?

Awesome, looks like the issue with turrets firing out has been fixed.

Cheers Tezza, im glad your having fun with it, i love this mod also.
Sunspots did a damn fine job putting it together, and i brought it upto date for alpha 4 - 5.
Im going to add a reinforced metal embrasures and fire proof metal embrasures research.
Like the ones i added to my cannons and turrets mod, an update will be up later on tonight.
Can you add log, and wood embrasures aswell? Wood is very cheap, so you can bulid temporary defense points .

I certainly can i just need to leave abcdef a pm,
to let him know im using his wood and log embrasures in my updated alpha 5 version of embrasures.
I'll have the update up very shortly. :)
Cheers
update is up, i really want to find another place to upload my files that is better than mediafire,
i like mediafire, but some don't like it.

New download link from dropbox, it should be alot better, ad and popup free. :)
Looks good so far, Thanks.
Look forward to trying the wood update on my next restart. Should make early game less expensive on the metal reserves. Although funnily enough I tend to run out of wood first. It's renewable at least, need to get more planting done.
I'm not sure if I'm expecting too much or if something isn't right, but every new game that I've begun has the embrasures acting as a two-way wall, where fire can go both in and out but no one can pass through. I've never tried the metal embrasures, but it's occurring on the wooden and stone ones.

If Im understanding right, that's exactly how its supposed to work, its literally a hole in the wall which you shoot out of, not like a force-field or something to that respect.
If Im misunderstanding you mean fire and in hot flames and not gunfire, in which case Im not sure, fire spreads on most things so it would makes sense for it to go through, except stone walls which I figure should stop it.

Have your guys stand next to, not in front of, the embrasures so they can fire around the corner and be very hard to hit.
I don't think they should be one way, personally. But I do think that accuracy should diminish substantially the farther away you are.
For example, if you are standing behind it (a colonist), it should have no effect on accuracy because you're shooting through it from a close distance. But if you're away from it, only about 20 percent of the person is showing (if not less) so that should affect it accordingly.
How about power conducting embrasures ? The power conduits are just cables on the ground, i don't think the holes in the metal and wooden walls are using the whole height of the block, so power should flow just like the regular blocks, no ?
I just noticed the metal embrasures aren't conducting power, the stone embrasure won't have power, but all the others should.
I just fixed it up, so metal embrasures should conduct power now, and i tweaked a few settings, so they should feel like there blocking more bullets.
FYI I have released a new version of my Shield mod http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=4701.0
It included my first attempt at one way Embrasures.
You place a "SIF Generator" rather than protecting a circular area it will protect and walls / doors / Embrasures in the area. Fire coming into it should be blocked and colonists can still fire out.
The issue with one way Embrasures is deciding what side is in and what side is out, so this is my current solution to that.
I'd like to point out that if you're placing down manned turrets, your first instinct might be to place the "seat" as far back as possible. Don't do this! Place the seat sideways, so it sits next to the wall. Otherwise you won't get the all so important cover bonus.
Bonus points if you hide their seat behind a pure wall instead of an embrasure.
This might be a bug or something. In all the weeks I've been using this mod I've never seen wood or log embrasures in the game, only metal and stone. :-\

I am rather confident that is how it's supposed to look, to show all the different appearances of the embrasures based on the walls around them.
I didn't have any menu icons done, when i took over this mod, and just havn't got around to making them lol.
So i went ahead and made some menu icons, looks alot nicer now. :)
I'll be posting the update after this post lol

I don't know if this is intended but you can build the stone Embrasures without the stonecutting research. That looks a bit odd, because you can't create the nessesary stoneblocks to actually build them.

Cheers for the heads zyklame.
Edit - New update, now stone embrasures won't show until stonecutting research is done.
Maybe have something that you have to research and takes a ton of time, but is like a shield where you can fire out but not in. Or just have it where it's incredibly hard to fire in. :)

It might do what you want.

It is a very nice mod, i never start a new colony without it. Cause it definetly does make for a very satisfying game, even though sometimes you wish it could stop more bullets, but it does it's job of keeping out who ever is trying to get in. :)

Yep, already have it. Though when in a big fire fight I focus at my chokepoint at all the attackers, then I look back and one shield is destroyed and the other one is offline... I think this is from the bug where if you don't 'look' at it, it disappear's and lets bullets go through.

Maybe you should just stay on topic and not try to dictate what people post? Problem solved.
On a related note, I've seen my embrasures take plenty a bullet.
Ok, may have been the good Project Armory at work.
And he signed up, and in two days he got 80 posts. All he is saying is that's great.
Should really put this on nexus, or even just upload it directly here in the forums?.. Both mediafire and dropbox are a pain in the ass to access without vpn here in china.

Oh yeah. Thanks to embrasures, a small raider drop-in on the trade beacon was easily taken care of today by my colonists. None of the raiders survived.
get it with the fortifications mod. makes them a whole lot better.
Hi and thanks for the great looking walls :)
There is just a tiny problem, they work for me like sandbags...enemys still shoot over them even if I build a full room. So its just like having realy strong good looking sandbags :(
Am I doing something wrong?
Nope. Nothing. They are basically sandbags except, stronger, can transmit, and act as walls so nothing can go through except bullets. If you want a buff, go to realistic weapons and get the Fortifications Mod Pack. It adds the same thing, but buffs them. And replace Embrasures with it.

Don't stand directly in front of the embrasure. Stand your guys against the wall
next to an embrasure and they'll do a peek-around-the-corner attack thing.
This being one of my most favorite (and most useful) mods... Is there an eta on an Alpha7 update? I'd ask if it works as is, but that's more than likely asking too much...
I'd like to get back to making my awesome bunkers :)
This is everyone's fav mod.
Yeah... I find it hard these days to play without it. This is a great one.
This is everyone right now waiting for their favorite mod to be updated to Alpha 7.

Indeed, I'm too addicted to the mod that I can't play the game without it ;-;
I'd sooner learn to write an XML file for the game and make my own mod than play without this!
That is not an offer!
Is OP updating this? if not ill happily get it running on A7 at least without the "stuff" implementation for now.

I thought i would have had the time to update my mods, but alot of changes have been made, and i really didn't have the time.
I am sorry for saying i would update them, but when you get stumped, it's time to hand the reigns over to the ones who can and have time to update them.
I will return, there's no doubt about that.

This one is so very popular. Any chance we could incorporate it into vanilla RimWorld for A8 (or some future release) Tynan?
Punisher is that a greenlight on me updating?

He has given permission for anyone to use the mods, so from that point of view you are good to go.
If you just want to play the mod I will be looking at updating it tomorrow and integrating it into my mod.
But don't let that stop you if you want to mod it too.
im almost done, was only the text path and stats changes to the defs, 1 thing is stumping though, has Tynan changed how to use research mods:
<researchMods>
<li>
<targetDefTypeName>ThingDef</targetDefTypeName>
<targetDefName>MetalWallEmbrasure</targetDefName>
<targetFieldName>maxHealth</targetFieldName>
<targetValInt>450</targetValInt>
</li>
</researchMods>
that doesnt work anymore...
Um, looking at the Buildings_Structure.xml, it seems that maxHealth has been changed to MaxHealth. Case sensitivity?

sorry should say it moans about the "targetDefTypeName" and the others. Core seems to use:
<researchMods>
<li>
<specialAction>ResearchModsSpecial.GunTurretCooling</specialAction>
</li>
</researchMods>
but I think the names have just been changed as thats doing something different really.
It seems like it would still be possible to do it with a DLL mod. I don't know how difficult that is, but the code to actually upgrade something like max HP is basically one line.
If you're so inclined, get a hold of DotPeek or something similar and take a look in, for example, TTMUpgrade.cs in the TechTreeMinami mod.
Also, since minami26 is waiting on Embrasures to add to the pack, couldn't hurt to ask for some help there. :)
Whatever Tynan has done, in removing xml defs and so on, is for the better, but to make something and to remove it in the next alpha is mind boggling. It really defeats the purpose of having xml defs, when he takes them out and then makes you learn how to create .dll's and learn c++, which is kinda good, but for people who didn't wish to and didn't have the time, thats who he hurt the most.
S**t happens and life goes on lol.
Its only the research that needs it the rest of the mod works fine with just the simple xml defs tweaks that are needed. itd be nice to hear from the man himself on if these research names just changed or have actually been removed.
For sure skullywag, it would be nice to actually know every xml def,
maybe a simple document with every xml def name, with a bit of info on what it does.
That would alleviate any problems moders have when updating their mods. I guess he has to much work on his mind to even think straight.
That would have not taken long, if he created the doc at the start of when he created his first xml def.
I find that alot with small game devs, they could make there work easier, by doing simple things like that.
Key part there...."when he created his first xml def" im going to go with its now probably a mammoth job. One that I dont relish the thought of.
I got curious about this and had a look.

Some of these match up. I'm gonna go ahead and say it's possible, but it will indeed be a massive job.
Are you doing alright updating this? Code is rather simple. Have you changed it to use the stuff system? It isn't difficult, I can upload a texture if needed.
I have stuff using embrasures in my enhanced defence mod. Although no research yet.

Oh awesome, might update it with that info. Though I don't see a need to research walls -with- holes..
The research bit makes metal embrasures tougher, basically.
Hello All,
I butchered embrasures to "work" in alpha 7. The are will need a major overhaul to look nice in menu and in the game. This is the first time I have monkeyed with any type of modding. I would like to get this working well.

Thanks heaps for the update :) the only issue I've noticed so far that the research points need to be adjusted for the new scale. 30000 points is massive now when common research is 300-600.
I was working to get it to work first then tweek the research. An other think that I would like to do is have with and without power conduit versions with having the power conduits needing to be researched.
Brunayla
I'm guessing the research doesn't work. Which was the reason we didn't update this fully in the first place or did you figure that bit out? I have a completely working version here with fixed textures (brighter) that I've had for a while but wont release it until the research is fixed.

skullywag,
I was working on the research last night but so far it is eluding me. I know how I need to change the stats for the upgraded items. I might set upgraded items as an additional build item that unlocks once researched. I hope to have the research figured out soon.
Brunayla
Dont get me wrong i know how to do this in a dll, i wanted to know if Tynan had indeed removed this feature of the research def. I just havent had time to look into it. I might have a quick look when i get home, worst case ill fire over a dll that does the job. Hold tight.
Hay All,
I think that I have gotten most if not all of the bugs out of it.
Skullywag could you take a look at it and tell me what you think?

I hope that I am not sticking my nose in where it isn't wanted, but I downloaded that and installed that version, and the only error I got was from a line in the embrasure file that didn't define any research project. Since it was blank and there was no corresponding ResearchProjectDef, I simply deleted it and the rest works wonderfully. Even the 'Stuff' functionality appears to work just fine.

That is the type of input I was looking for. That being said I have completely rewritten the mod and will be releasing an up date soon.

Hello, first I just wanted to say thanks for making cool stuff to make me spend even MORE time playing this game. ;D
However, I think I ran into a bit of a bug using an embrasure built out of "stuff" (Plasteel). I get an all pink texture.
Here is a screenie...
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=329655474 (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=329655474)
I've tried restarting several times, but the texture bug still remains.
I'm going to try digging the area out behind it like I had planned before, just in case it has to do with the wall trying to "mesh" with the stone behind it.
Edit: Dur, I am using the "1.0" version you just posted. That would probably help. :P
Edit 2: Nope that wasn't it. *shrugs

Hay,
There is no plasteel texture really so that is why it looks pink. I will try to make one up soon. I am also looking to add more stuff to my version of this mod. Do you that any suggestions?

Embrasures now with Plasteel and Medicine production.

When will this mod be updated?
I do have ideas for some other types of windows. Metal Reinforced Windows: Regular windows reinforced with "Planks" of metal covering them.
Wooden Reinforced Windows: Regular windows that are reinforced with planks of wood covering them. Weaker than Metal Reinforced windows but stronger than normal windows.
The mod is being unofficially updated/added to by the above poster. Its also now in jaxxas enhanced defence mod and its modular so you can have just the embrasures if you want.
Reinforced and Fire-proof Embrasures don't have textures, so they are all pink. Could I just copy normal embrasures texture and rename it to make it work? Or do I need to change something in files? I don't want to mess anything.
if you get Jaxxa's Enhances Defense he has embrasures in it
