I need some basic projectile sprites for my mod but I'm not very good at this kind of thing so I figured I'd see if one of our resident artists is feeling charitable. I need two things: a shotgun pellet projectile in the style of vanilla bullet graphics (basically the vanilla bullet with trail but round instead of cylindrical) and a number of graphics for fragments (the kind that is created by HE shells and shreds people) of different sizes and shapes.

If anyone could draw these for me, that would be great.

When you deconstruct your mortars, you lose all the ammo loaded in them. Is there a way to fix this?

Maybe, but considering A9 is coming soonish and includes its own ammo system I don't think its worth the effort to be honest.

This interferes with door control !!!! https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=9054.0

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I've added a compatibility patch.

I have no idea what you ought to do, but why are all the colonists with high artistic skill inexplicably called Min?

Certain backgrounds always have certain names attached to them. IIRC pop-idols (very high art scores) will always be called Min, fighter controllers are always names Bashkire etc.

Can someone help me in finding a way to remove some weapons? While it is nice to have such a collection, I don't want Star Wars weapons and flintlocks, etc.

Use the Kit Switcher included in the download

Melee weapons will definitely get a rebalance some time in the future, lots of oddities right now (concrete club severing legs in one blow, wait what?). I didn't rebalance animal body parts though, so many parts and I don't really have any reference for them.

Also, speaking of mortars, I've been testing a new explosion effect. The next version will include smaller, stronger explosions with lots of shrapnel flying in a large radius, so mortar shells will be more deadly against soft targets in the open while walls and cover will provide more protection (no more raider mortars wiping out entire trade stockpiles in one hit). The same effect will be applied to all explosives with fragmentation effect, i.e. HEAT shells, frag grenades, etc.

crawlers have a food bar? Also how do i install the chip into the crawler? i have a chip and a dead crawler but it wont let me add modifications

The food bar is a vanilla feature. I recall someone posted a screenshot a while back where a bunch of Centipedes had starved to death trying to get through his killbox.

You're not missing something, it seems I made a facepalm-worthy mistake and forgot to include it in the archive when I uploaded the hotfix. I put it up as a separate download now, sorry about that.

shouldn't there be a modified project armor in the main and defense download

No, the modified PA version has connection to the Defence Pack.

projectiles tick, therefore you have a method in which to spawn your other proj.

Thanks for the hint, I'll probably have a look at it this weekend and see if I can make some kind of rocket-propelled grenade effect.

When a prisoner goes berserk you don't need to shoot them. Just draft 2-3 colonists and tell them to melee attack him (make sure they don't have any proper melee weapons though) and they will knock him out.

Perhaps, it just depends on how big the house is... But yes shrapnel is dangerous. Germans would shoot trees with explosive rounds strewing stuff everywhere killing people. But yeah i want to see more pillboxes etc in rimworld. (note) Also mainly is just about what type of mortar shell it is.. If it's a 40 mm (grenade launcher) round then yeah it wouldn't do a lot of damage but a 120 he? yeah it would do a bit more then that...

Here's a video showing mortar strikes in Syria. Note how the first shell directly strikes the building and just how little damage it does to the actual structure. In Rimworld terms that would be maybe one or two sections of wall. People always think artillery causes huge explosions because of Hollywood nonsense and big scary dustclouds, but real artillery explosions aren't that dangerous. The shrapnel they send flying is.

OK, I see your point.
This will be very hard to modify then...

Yeah, I'll probably just accept it and move on to something easier. Like figuring out how to make a projectile spawn another projectile.

Can I use this without PA, personal preference.

Yes. The main module is a standalone overhaul of all the vanilla weapons and will function without the rest.

Could you please attach the mods to the post, rather than just link to a third-party? I find MediaFire extremely frustrating to download from, at least from Asia - constant errors...

Both archives are above the maximum filesize for attachments. The best I could offer you would be to upload it to another mirror like Dropbox.

I prefer dropbox over everything nowadays. Any day.

They're all the same to me, but I have uploaded it to Dropbox now. Let me know if there are any more download issues.
