Firefoam Grenades!

The firefoam poppers, while useful, can be somewhat ineffective as they can only be in one place. The solution is firefoam grenades!

- Craft them for 35 plasteel at a machining table
- Buy them from pirate/bulk goods traders
- Use them like normal grenades to put out fires

Hey awesome mod love it. Did find one game breaking bug in it but it is an easy fix.
From:
     <preExplosionSpawnThingDef>FilthFirefoam</preExplosionSpawnThingDef>

To:
     <preExplosionSpawnThingDef>FilthFireFoam</preExplosionSpawnThingDef>
Otherwise amazing, particularly with the Crash Landing Mod.

- A bug breaking the game has been fixed.
- Firefoam now shows up on the floor properly. (Thanks, Vascar!)

Enjoy the mod!

Hi Nat, how's life?

I will try this mod. Could be handy especially in heavily forested maps ^^

Would be cool if they automatically use your firefoam grenade to fight fire, like if it was an pawn.

I've heard about the A16 beta.

Unfortunately, I've been quite busy lately. I may be able to get out a version for A16 before the full release, but no promises.

Mod updated!
No new changes - just compatibility with A16. Expect an update to BalancingAct as well in the coming days.

I just found that the TraderKinds_Orbital_Misc contains the following lines twice
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DefPackage-TraderKindDef>

Not really a big deal, because the game is somewhat forgiving about small errors like this, but you should fix it at some point anyway.

Thanks for the report, I'll get to it soon.

I think this guy said he was no longer supporting the Firefoam Mortars. Could you possibly add them to your firefoam grenade mod? I think they would go well together.

Where exactly did he say this? I followed the link you gave me and I don't see anything to that effect.

@SeanMacLeod; I got dismotivated with modding for RW, as the old 'established' section of the modding community are a bunch of egocentric arrogant twats and I unfortunately felt the blunt edge of their attitude. Coincidentally, most of them are also the volunteer staff on the forum!
That said, the forum is still kind of the centerpoint for modding in RW and with a bunch of incapable idiots like them running the staff section, I can't bring myself to use the forum and recieve all of that nonsense.
It has made me not want to work on any RW mods since.
On a side-note, the work is licensed in such a way anyone could fork it or pick it up and continue, as long as they credit me for the work I did.

So looks like its up for grabs if you credit him.

Nattiejim

Thank you, didn't see that.

I'll take it into consideration, perhaps for a future update.

Hey Nattiejim, I've extended your mod. The licence said do whatever so I did ;)

I almost released it but then I thought I should show you the courtesy of letting you take a look first.
