[Mod Request] animal armor

Galvenox · May 13, 2016, 08:29:59 AM

I'm sorry if similar idea already exists, but i couldn't find it. what i mean isn't very complicated, simple metal plates protecting our animal companions in battle would be very nice. visible if possible, but not necessarily. if the idea is possible at all.

Cool idea, I don't know how possible it is to program this. Probably not that bad I imagine a capable modder could do it. Sounds like a cool idea. I would be wondering if you would be expecting the Armour to decay all that good stuff. Because if so that does mean modding in a whole clothing option for pets. With a way to optimize pawns to switch out the clothing on the animal. Crafting the Armour and all sorts of stuff. Neat, likely possible but probably not easy. And with many types of pets vanilla friendly would be a hard thing to obtain with a mod like this.

But if anyone would make this mod I would probably grab it. And am I EVIL for wanting there to be fragmentation Armour thats designed to look like the outter shell of a grenade for my boomalope brigade!

I don't think this would be able to work because you can't force animals to do anything

Daredevil7... well yeah you would have to have the colonists force equip/dress the animal. And yes this whole mod would be decently complicated.

This is not a physical defence, but a energy shield for your animals. I haven't tried it myself, i want to finish a colony before i add mods> https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=18995.msg207279#msg207279

(requires "ED-PersonalNanoShields" from Enhanced Development mod pack by Jakka)

well animal clothing overall sounds like a fun and interesting idea, but I didn't mean to go that far, yet at least. I would be happy for one, two piece metal armor just for animals we usually use in battle (I like bears). and if I'm not mistaken, the mod above proves that getting animal to wear something is possible.

Animal Bionics?

Galvenox · May 13, 2016, 05:48:18 PM

I would take that too I guess, I've seen a mod adding animal surgery so in my small mind with zero of modding experience, animal bionics are possible. but that's not what I'm aiming for in this request. although it would be undoubtedly awesome.

I could give it a try when I am bored. Unless it involves assemblies, I don't have that much skill in moding this game but I have been working on a game. I just need textures I think.
