@Coolchilion Its a dependency as it is an expansion of that mod

Is Fire Extinguisher (continued) a hard dependency? Or could I uses any fire foam spraying weapon?

@Haraise no Tenshi Please see the Reporting Issues section described above

Guess it does not really wanna play with CE? Or whatever the issue seems to be :/ Without the mod manually using the FE works perfectly. But with it enabled the pawns just stands around and its spamming errors for as long as there is a fire. And the hotbar reduces itself to a single tile titled "FE Foam Level" can not even draft the pawn any longer.

@Lotan flan Should be fixed now

Simple Sidearms turned out to be the culprit. I’ve uploaded my fix on your Discord in case you’d like to take a look and consider implementing it. I’m not entirely sure if everything is still working as intended, though.

Not so sure anymore, played a bit with a larger mod pack and there it doesn't seem to work. I might look into it again. Maybe it was never brocken in the smaller modpack and i never noticed it ...

@dhl219 Ive fixed the fire extinguisher mods code, thanks for the info!

Very simple fix: in Weapons_Fire_Ext.xml in Fire Extinguisher (Continued), change the <targetParams> section to:

<targetParams>
<canTargetLocations>true</canTargetLocations>
<canTargetFires>true</canTargetFires>
</targetParams>

RimWorld 1.6 changes how casting works.
Previously, allowing <canTargetLocations> was enough because indirect fire on a location would still hit fires.
Now the rules are stricter — the verb must explicitly allow targeting fires with <canTargetFires> or it will fall back to melee fire-beating.

At least that worked for me without any other mods running.

I'm just curious if anyone has gotten this mod to work the way it's supposed to. I see others having the same problem as me. My pawns will beat the fire with the fire extinguisher instead of using it. The other issue is the character options disappear when they swap to the fire extinguisher. I can't even draft them. If the mod is working for other people and not for me, I suspect it's probably my massive mod list causing this and I just need to find the conflict.

@清风无意 Updating all my mods, see Discord for progress

1.6 plz?

same, have this problem of pawn just beating the fire out with fire extinguisher instead, then just keep switching back n forth between main range and FE

pawns done seem to actually use fire extinguishers, they equip and swap to them during a fire but then they just beat the fire with them instead of using the foam.

@VolatileGlitchAviator I dont know, as that mod is pretty new you may need to ask that mod author about it

Hi Mlie will this mod work with pawns use fire extinguishers ? https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2397915519 is the link to the mod just not sure if its compatible or not.

@kotobike Preferably you can send it on github as an issue or on the discord-server?

Thank you so much!!

Thanks!

@虛無_鬼王 Sure, either send them to me and Ill add them or upload them as translations. Either way works for me

I made the translation for your mods.
May I have your permission to forward/upload the translation file of these mod to the workshop?

Sorry for the translation error, could you update the chinese translation?
https://github.com/GhostSoulGS/-/tree/85803ecb652fc2516b4f717767a0215521e9dfac

Petition to make this a patch/replacement of the Firefighting so other mods that use the Firefighting base can work together.

@虛無_鬼王 Thank you, should be added now

Hi, i make a chinese translation :
https://github.com/GhostSoulGS/-/tree/e6239ffe855d49e7d0b467661f9a5bc60c8a1e25

@qux Thanks, should be added now

Hi, i make a french translation :

@qux Its not, they use different defs

do you know if it's compatible with the fire extinguisher of vanilla weapon expanded ?

@qux I dont think so, I think it was a planned feature but was having issues. The code comments suggests as much anyway

ok so the colonists never bring back the fire extinguisher after they use it ?

@qux That functionality was not implemented in the mod it seems

where can we found the retourn sport please ? when the fire is finish my colonists keep the fire extinguisher

@Mlie Awesome, thank you for such a quick patch!

@ZzZombo Found remnants of that functionality in the code but with comments that it had issues, mostly with Simple Sidearms. It may require more knowledge of the equipping-system than I have.

@MonsterHorns Fixed the extinguishers for pacifist-pawns

@ZzZombo Todo-list is linked from the resurected mods-collection and on the discord-server, for future reference

Sorry, but how was I supposed to know that? I just thought you missed my comment.

@ZzZombo You already requested that and its on the todolist

I'd like an option to put FE back to suitable storage when not needed, because they occupy inventory space, reducing the carrying capacity, and they are quite heavy. I have placed FE cabinets strategically all around the base and I think it would simply immersive for them to stay there when there is no fire, and firefighters pick them up from them when needed. I reckon it's as simple as ordering a colonist to unload the FE from their inventory, and they will automatically find a suitable storage, or do nothing if there is none.

@MonsterHorns Not sure how but I can take a look. Perhaps the VFE extinguisher works that way?

@Mlie Maybe make the fire extinguishers on the main mod not count as weapon, but utility like shield belt? Merge fire extinguisher and firebelt into one item that has a ranged "attack"?

@MonsterHorns Fire warden does not affect the fire extinguishers, it just automates the use of them. Since the job is a firefighting job pyromaniacs will not be used by it.
The extinguishers are actually ranged weapons, works like shooting a forefoam-projectile. That makes pacifists incapable of using them.

So as I understand from descriptions, pyromaniacs can equip a fire extinguisher but have to be forced to use it while drafted? While pacifists can't equip them at all? That's a bit counterintuitive, any plans to fix it?

@El_Chibre Thanks, I have now included an updated version of that in the Fire Extinguisher-mod. Hope it solves the issue!

I found the fix Pelador made that someone mentionned earlier, if anyone feels like updating it to 1.2 https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1724632338

I also run into an issue with this and simple sidearm, pawns swap to the FE when needed but don't re-equip their primary weapon after leading to them frantically emptying their FE into raiders or manhunter animals. Not really game breaking but it creates more macro management than not using Fire Warden

It would be nice if the program would recognize when the FW is carrying a tool in his inventory and not constantly display a message FW lacks tool.

Any way to make it compatibly with the VWE fire extinguisher?
