What do the blasting charges do?

Delayed explosives. You trigger them and after a couple of seconds they blow. They were taken out of base game because of abuse.

Shield mod is must have mod for me; I hope it's integrated into game.

Anyway suggestions : Somthing like bigger "Tower shield" would be nice. i.e. https://godlesspaladin.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/testudo.jpg

Also I think durability of shield should be increased with quality.

For some reason, I can't get the game to recognize blasting charges.

blasting charges work fine for me, make sure the folder structure is correct:

mods/blastingcharges/about/about.xml

[skullywag]

updated medievalshields and embrasures, updated images and a small fix for shields, added info on how to add mod weapons to the shields to the OP.

I had to change the name of the mod from "blasting charges - blasting charges 1.2" to just "blasting charges."  The interior folder which usually just says "blasting charges" has the full name. 

After I did that, the game found it and it works.

Thanks again for the mods.

Minor complaint--why can't you use a shield and a shield(energy and plank of wood that is)?

[Aristocat]

Can you make shield smeltable?

[skullywag]

hector....that would be OP as hell, however it could quite easily be possible. However this is not a restriction I have added. Its due to both accessories covering torso, remove torso from one of the defs and itll allow both. Ill debate on whether i want this in the main mod. Theres more shields incoming that would make you a TANK if this was allowed so not sure...

Aristocat - I can what should they return?

Some of used material? I have few dozens of damaged shield that I don't know what should I do.

Maybe make the better shields not shield-compliant, but make the light shields cover a different 'layer' than energy shields?

BTW, what do you need to get higher blockrate? Does manipulation boost that? I'm wondering if I can get a Beta Poly kite shield to go with a Beta Poly Vibrosword to make a unkillable menace in a Glittertech/Rimsenal game.

Only melee skill affect block rate if I'm not mistaken.

[skullywag]

Correct melee skill upfront them some rng under it. I may adjust this in future as its not perfect but for now a random chance between 0 and 21 is thrown if your skill level is above the number found it cuts damage to a quarter of what it was it then has a small random chance to block that (remove hitpoints from the shield) or hit you. if you were below the skill thrown then its half damage and a slightly less chance to absorb the damage on the sheild.
