[A15 WIP] Universal Weaponry Expanded

[JadedApprentince]

Disclaimer: I've moved this over to yet another post, this time under the name of "Energy and Ballistics Expansion." I've been working on it for a while now and finally got some great progress done that is quite different from my original, go there to check out recent changes to this mod! If you need to contact me, please email me via the email icon under my name, thanks!



After developing my unreleased mod, EWE (Energy Weapons Expanded), I realized that Rimworld was pretty lacking in effective ballistic weaponry once you got to charge rifles, since they are a great jack-of-all-trades throughout the game.
I plan on releasing not only remade versions of my ionic weapon series, but also high caliber machine guns, manned+auto turrets, 15mm and 20mm auto-cannons, 75mm, 88mm, and 105mm cannons, and also more diverse subculture of weapons other than just the generic series we are given:
Assault rifle (Renamed to AR-15) : AUG, FN FAL, AK-47/AKM, Gaili AR, G3A3 etc.
Pistol (Renamed to M1911) : FN 5-7, Glock 17, .357 / .44 Magnum, etc.
Machine Pistol (Renamed to Mac-11) : M1A1 Thompson, MP5 / MP7, etc.
LMG (Renamed to RPD) : SAW, MG3A1, M1919 (.30) / M2 (.50) Browning MGs, etc.
Shotgun (Renamed to Remington Model 10) : AA-12, Double Barrel Shotgun, etc.
Survival Rifle (Renamed to Lee-Enfield) : Mauser-98, M14, Winchester Model 70 etc.
Sniper Rifle (Renamed to AWP) : M82 Beretta (.50), etc.

I will also plan on adding the systems put in place by Combat Realism, which has been *partly* abandoned by its original creator, and I think that many will agree that since a patch for specific content the fans want changed might not come, I would like to put my own spin on it using many complaints from fans of the mod.
Important note: Ammunition.
I do like the ammunition requirement, but I would like to tone it down and make it easier to manufacture ammunition early on (Stuff like 5.56x45mm, .303 British, .45 ACP, etc.) using a hand bench in batches of 50-100 rounds for balance, instead of 500, plus taking a lot less time. I also think that the different kinds of ammunition are cool, but for balance might need to have their costs adjusted for the kind they are, like AP requiring more metal than FMJ.

If the creators of the original mod, or the patched version would like to help, it would be greatly appreciated: Skyarkhangel (original creator), Killface, Spoonshortage, or anyone else I missed.

Personally I love CR simply because it makes the game seem much more realistic and harder, as well as improving the seemingly flawed combat system, especially in regards to damage to humanoids in areas like the torso. But due to a lack of balancing, it is pretty one sided, especially the KPV and M240B machine guns once you get them. Also the ammunition system is actually too large, with most of the ammunition being specifically tailored to a kind of threat that is great at one task, like attack mechanoids, but not against humanoids or animals. So some balancing and remastering of the mod would be best to keep it popular and updated with Rimworld since it seems that Alpha 16 might be coming out soon.

Just for the record; I'm doing something very similar to what you're doing right now. If you'd like, I can merge your EWE and give you the credit.

If you can link me or point me toward your project, that would be great.
Once I'm finished remastering with my EWE portion of the mod I might continue with this project or allow you to merge EWE into your mod, I'll have to see what the content of your mod will be before I decide.

I don't know about it, it seems like too many.
The main thing behind this mod is that it adds a variety WWI/WWII/Modern weapons, but not so many gun that its choke-full of them, so sorry no.

Also I already am coding up many of the weapons I made/am making using the Combat Realism code, so they will be using ammunition, which you didn't specify if you were also doing the same thing.

One of the guns that I have almost finished is the MG-151/20, which is going to be a fun weapon to use, only really heavy, at least the 20x82mm cartridge is something, lol.

If you group the firearms the way I did, it doesn't matter how many you have; the game you treat "pistols" and its respective technology tier and spawn one. If you haven't looked, there's a shit ton of WW weapons in that list. I'm also doing CR, but since it's currently bugged, I'm not adapting the mod to it; first doing it without CR, then with it.

CR has fixed versions, there is two fixed versions that you can download, one from Github and the other in the Steam Workshop.

JadedApprentince, hello
As i got it from your posts you have some experience in C#, right?
I would like to make a joint project with you. The main idea is to add/rework the armor so it can opose the new weapons. I have already did quite some work but i have little experience in codding. Main point that require codding:
1) Adding armour that would both head and torso (complete suit). Unfortunatly it requires a new graphics class to work.
2) Making advanced armour have charge. It could be done like oxygen in envoronmental suits as in Mars mod (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=25926.0).
3) Making some heavy weapons only work with advanced heavy armor. They could also use energy from armor's batteries to fire. (i mean spacer age weapons and armor)

If we could do all this the result could be awesome. Please say if you could help me with the project and say how much can you code in C#.

I actually don't have any experience in C#, only in XML coding. I basically right now am only working on the XML files, so essentially the original files from CR and the C# code that came with it is still untouched by me. If needed I might take a look at that C# code, but right now the project only requires XML code for actual items.
