ah, good ol' RA3 Tesla Coil

I really like the concept, especially the Telsa Coil. But...
I don't suppose there's a chance we'll ever see an .INI option to have them require electricity, is there? Having them work without supplying power just feels wrong to me.

how i put the ID?

ok, fixed it with putting it higher in the load priority, now it works (and is a huge blessing!)

Hello,
we just started a Genesis server and have the mod installed, but when I try to place the 2.0 bug zapper, it shows me the building preview, but never places the structure...
Have tried several things in the server settings, and reinstalling the mod, but nothing helped.
Any ideas? this is really a must-have for the swamp!
PS: handheld bug zapper works fine, also crafting and learning the engrams.

Hi, @Mistrfister. Could you please to add a Tesla Coil from C&C Red Alert 3 as base-defence turret?

Hi, not sure if this is possible but can you set the zapper to harvest the bugs or dinos you kill? If so can you send the command of how to do that?

@Cracksocks are you putting it in the game.ini? it doesnt work from the GameUserSettings.ini because its adjusting an array.

"..Sin.. 1. März um 14:54 Uhr
Not sure if its happening for others but, after every server restart the bugzappers placed have to be picked up and put back down to start working again."

I have the same problem with this mod. After restarting the server a have to replace the Zapper to start working again.

After replacing the Zapper he works fine

Yeah, or for boa, or anything else annoying., @Mistrfister, what about one that just eliminated pego & ichy birds.. I've tried adding the NPCReplacements= lines, but they still spawn, tried anti theft stuff, but either isn't functional or uses the skin slot (anti theft backpack is great btw!)~ just wish I could plop something down and say bye bye to them.
(even tried adding Ichthyornis_Character_BP_C=True to the ini zap list)

@Cracksocks a tesla coil for players? That sounds fun lol

oh, what about a 2nd zapper item with its own configurable ini (separate from the bug zapper ini list),to keep pesky neighbors off your yard (separate from the bug zapper ini list)

Great to hear! (I mean about it being added, not your forgetting things.. )

Oh i thought i had a thing in for that lol, ill add that in a future patch!

is there a way to have the zapper exclude tamed versions of the target dino list, yet still annihilate the wild ones?

LOL, they know!

I was getting attacked by insect swarms for 5 minutes straight, must have killed about a 20 of them. Installed this mod, they all disappeared. They must've known and ran away scared, because I haven't actually put the zapper up yet.

Ahh there ya go :)

ok so i was wrong i found the right BP - wasn't in the dlc folder o.o.... - EndDrone_Lunar_Character_BP_C

Dont forget _C at the end. All character BPs will end in _C

ok nice lol auto kill annoying things also bp is - VREndDrone_Character_BP

Yes it would, itll kill anything you put in the list

hey mod dev. i have a very good question im going to test but lets say if i was to add another non bug BP to the zapper it would kill that as well - this is what im going to try because i hate these annoying a##holes... - EndDrone_Character_BP_C=True / attack drones btw

For those asking:

Engrams:

EngramEntry_BugZapper
EngramEntry_BugZapperStructure

Items to override craftingcosts

PrimalItem_BugZapper
PrimalItemStructure_BugZapperStructure

Im looking to disable the portable zapper engram and up the cost of the tesla. Could we have the blueprint path for the two items so we can change the override settings in the .ini? Thank you :)

No, by default it does not. The INI is listed above with instructions. @The Rickest Rick

so by default i'm guessing it doesn't kill the ants and dragonflies

Some ini options to make the stationary one require electricity or tek power would be awesome

could i get the blueprint paths of the two items please.

@Mayhem mine is working like a charm. As soon as the swarm comes even in render distance, ZAP. No resources, not even electricity.

Does the Tesla Coil need any kind of ressources to work? Because we been attacked several times and nothing happend.

can i hide engram?

can you give me engramentry?

So far this mod is a life saver thank you for this.

Is it possible to disable one of the zappers, or the engram for it? I don't mind the occasional swarm when i'm out and about. It's the swarm that spreads over my base munching on all my dinos *at the same* time that I want DEAD specifically.

@Mistrfister
No complaints from me just would have liked what i mentioned but however you like it is good enough for me

@Bulborb87
You can even add pegos and sea gulls to the zapper list, if you wish. :D
Thank me later! ;)

For the guys who rather want a fuel consumption on the zappers, just add both zappers as fuel consumption zappers and everyone can take out engramms they don't like.

But another idea just comes to my mind. What if the zappers can be fueled with thatch? Easy to come by. Just an idea. But maybe those things are solar powered, so no need to fuel them up. ;) Option, options... :D

I'm fine with how they are now and I totally agree on the aspect of making them available very soon in the game, because the lower level you are the more annoying those swarms.

If this does work against those mother f***ing SWARMS that are in the bog....HO BOY I'll be downloading this mod in a heart beat and tell those particular bug's to go F**K THEMSELVES!!!

sorry if I sounded angry there it's just that I HATE those things just as much as I hate Pego's & seagull's (just hope that the dev's make it so that we can get rid of the swarms for good cause I gaurentee that EVERYONE will be removing the swarms from their world's/servers)

Mistrfister THANK YOU! Works perfectly and the new addition with the update is great. Thank you again for your hard work.

The overall appeal of the mod is to just make it less annoying in the bog, as its supposed to be an easy zone, which it really is not. The bugs have never killed me, but they have annoyed me to the point i almost rage logged, and many others like me. I may make an alternate version, but ill have to think about it, its in a good spot atm.

Its a double edged sword when it comes to fuel consumption, if i make it too expensive, low characters cant use it, and if i make it too cheap ill get complaints its too cheap lol

This is a good mod but could you please get the bug zapper use fuel rather than just using it without fuel

Spawn codes please? This mod is greatly appreciated.

The crafting costs can be changed serverside if its too cheap for you, i made it cheap because i wanted people in early game to be able to obtain the bug zappers, as its horrible to fresh start and just fight bugs for 5 hours straight @Rems

Sweet :) glad its workin for you! Yeah sometimes servers mess up the download and it gets funky, rarely, but it happens :) @Xx_MrsRiz_xX

It was indeed something serverside caused by the last steam update. All fixed now and your 2 mods are indeed working perfectly for me again. Thank you mistrfister for your response.

I have now uninstalled them and reinstalled them and nope server no longer recognizes them. I will reach out to the host company as I dont think its an issue so much with the mods are more so with the files of the server itself? I have no clue lol Im pretty file illiterate here.

Mod works great for me on my solo server, I could not kill the swarm for of me. Thank you!

ok let me try that once people are off the server. I will let you know. Thank you

They both should be working properly, try uninstalling the mods and reinstalling them, both are on my servers
