Anyone alive?

Hey,
This mod is probably dead but it (and Skully's mod that came before) was always my favorite implementation of shields. Is there a continuation of this and just this (no other stuff?) If not, is there anything similar?

oh i see, ill check that out. Thx for the info buktaki!

Xynthinel you bet but a better system is with porridge mod i posted the shields there do not require this frame work. there are problems with the frame work.

Problem one if i change the layer to a unique layer. and the a pawn generator is called like in it throws an error. the work around was making the shield use the outer layer. the other uses jecs tools if i remeber and it is so much simplier to use you only need to copy and paste data for the wodden shields and change the values

Hi man, could i use this framework to add some of my own shields to a mod i'm making? big thx in advance

I will look into it, i may need to change the layer

shields unequip the outer armor of a pawn. any way you could stop that from happening? @BukTaki

its a great mod but the shields unequip the coats the pawns wear

Is this mod still being worked on? A few research options have had ---NOT YET IMPLEMENTED--- beside them for a long time now.

Hello, been using ur mod for a while now and I enjoyed it. However, using it with dual wield mod the shield is not considered an off-hand but an armor...? Its not a bug by any means but a brawler with riot shield and 2 plasteel knife is kinda something else. Can you maybe consider placing the shield into the off-hand tab? Also maybe the riot shield 700 hp is a little too much. Yes it cost 50 plasteel to make but considering you want to have another level of the shield... yeah..

@yagiou thank you. It'll take a while to find out a work around. the problem is the harmony patch i'm using is called anytime the pawns apparel generator tries to add a shield or item when the pawn has not been instanced in the map. maybe? its why i had the original problem with starting the games with tribes. when you selected the tribe the pawn generator would try add shield cause it was flagged a neolithic. I would get null reference and rimworld would not continue. second i dropped the neolithic tag it worked. It'll take me while to find out exactly whats going on behind the scenes with the pawn generator.

Posting a second mod of random stuff i made for rimworld. It does not use assemblies so there should be no errors. also there it two shields that use jecs shields

It throws the error and continues... the thing is that i don't know how it messes the event queue, so far i don't have any problems.
I uninstalled it, just to be in the safe side for now.
Thank you for taking a look at it.

@jagiou ya your right i'll see what i can do. Does it crash? or just through the error then continue? Right now I am working on another mod that uses Jecs tools shields instead of a unique assembly.

And then it messed with hospitality:

I think (TM) that some pawns in a group of visitors are trying to spawn with your shields and fail:

@Sergio sorry i accidentally double clicked the trash can on my post and it deleted your post. It requires Smithy to do the Medieval Style shields, then electricity for modern shields and microelectronics for future tech.


@everyone I'll update it today changing its layer to WareableShield

If you see the pictures in "RPG Style Inventory" mod, you will see that accessories such as glasses and boots have their own slots. Could you make shields have their own slots too so that pawns don't have to 'wear' shields as apparel?

known that i know of it does not override anything or use anyother mod.

Are there any hard incompatabilites?

are there riot police shields? if not would you add them? i think they would fit in with modern weapons

@hugh yes the shield is a type of apparell i might be doing another one when i am finished the defs that takes advantage of jecs frame work which will have them as a thingwithcomps like a weapon.

for this mod my pawns are using the shield like a piece of apparel. they 'wear' it rather than pick it up

@reginald yes it works melee weapons, pila, hand guns, sub machine guns. Not sure about shield belts i usually only reasearch to medieval.

Does this work with shield belt, and can i use melee weapon with the shield

@dok I've been looking into Jec's tools. The shield system it impliments alows the shield to be a weapon like the ones in lord of the rim mod. If i end up going that way then there will be no need for the assemblies either. Also it fix the problem i have now with the weapo being under the shield I have tried a number of altitude layers and i can't fiure out why the shield is over the weapon.

dont question the omnissiah's will fellow tech priest.

And why in the world is it 28Megabytes?

Could you be able to use the shield as a weapon, drop it, then deploy it? You can equip wood logs as a weapon and those are construction items, so that might be something to look into.
And as I say weapon, are you going to implement actual hediffs like "Skull Cracked: Shield bash" or something like that. I haven't even installed the mod yet, but I just wanted to give some suggestions while they're on my mind.

we'll see, i'm mainly hoping for a shield to provide cover when raiding pirates that can be moved to a different place to avoid as much attrition as possible.

Might be possible, I was thinking mor like instllable and uninstallable like a bed. maybe the advanced ones can be in inventory. We'll see.

i was thinking the same thing, you know such as deploying from the inventory.

@germnbarb like sand bags just deployable and provides cover is what im thinking

how exactly would the deployable shields work?

@liamse You dont have to use the benches they can be built at Crafting Spot, Hand Tailoring Station, machining Table

any a chance we'll get a version without the work benches?
