ok, i did it. i think you need to delete the entire mod folder, remake the mod folder, and then install the beta version of the mod. otherwise it makes errors

me too. apparently there is beta version but im getting the same error

I having an interesting issue when I have the mod downloaded and gives me this error message "ERROR: The Dome Shield mod folder was not located. Please do not manually change the name of the folder when you download it. (IF you are sure didn't change the install name at all, please send me proof I will fix this." and I did not change anything about the file when I installed it.

hell yeah, lowk one of if not the best mod in the entire game

WOOOOO

This mod will rise again.

Hey, sorry for not having any updates in a long time. The change to Unity6 has made the old models for the shield incompatible, and it's been a pain trying to get those to work. Along with this, I have become rather busy with other development stuff, and I have been doing a complete re-write of the entire mod. I do not know when this will be functional again; it could be weeks or months. One day, though, it will be functional. Mark my words.

Trying the mod, it seems broken. The UI is completely broken (won`t show up) and the blocks in the construction menu all use the default Laser system descriptions except for the 3x3 and 1x1 laser generators. Is there any possibility of an update or patch to fix this?

Any chances of this being updated to the latest game version (new camera update)?

dunno why but the shield just like, doesn't work for me, as in no UI, Error messages, the likes which is a real bummer because this mod is something i've always wanted for so long

I am jesus christ btw

I started looking at the Recovery Version you link, John Chapter 1, I don't understand the changes made from the KJV. Verse 5, overcome it instead of comprehended not? I don't understand why this is better or more accurate. In real life, wicked people don't try to 'overcome' Christians, but they do die and go to hell because they cannot comprehend the gospel - either through their own foolishness or because they are reprobates.

so i ran into a bug with the mod where the all the blocks except the block that allows the shield to exist dont do anything making the shield useless pls tell me why this is happening

yeah, we were doing a lot of testing a month ago or so. It should be working currently, sorry about that.

A interesting mod, but I've had issues with it. Very often for some reason shield health will drop to -2147483648 and refuse to recharge...but it indicates the shield is still active. Impacts against it still damage my ship though...

ok so for yall that are having issues with the mod throwing errors since one of the recent updates, try uninstalling the mod and reinstalling it

Appreciate you taking the time to look into it at some stage.. Ill keep an eye out for a update.
Hope it just needs a rebake or something simple.

I also started experiencing this recently, I'll take a look soon

I have the same issue as DARK. Something broke, and now trying to load any BP with the shield throws errors and fails to load.
The only thing I can think of as a possible cause was the small update to the game that released yesterday.

I not sure what happened. But the block turned invisible & won't work for me now
Can't load in builds with this block on em as it just won't load in at all.
Working for ages but just suddenly stopped working for some reason.
Deleted it from documents several times & installed it again via in game. But no go.

Shield hurlers is a funny idea but that will never happen lol. Custom shapes is something I could look at but it slightly defeats the idea of being a DOME shield.

also make sheild hurlers cause why not
they can pass though frenly ships but annialte enemy ships but make this late game

add custom shapes to the sheild and make em be able to be craft fitted. that means it smothly goes around ships and turrets and itself of course but the bigger the sheild the weaker it is but they will buff each other

:D

I love it

Glad you like it!!!

I've wanted a system like this in the game for years at this point, thank you so much for modding it in. I love the hexagons slowly shrinking out of existence after the shield is blown up.

Band-aid fix for HE. I'm very aware that it probably won't work like it would normally work if this were vanilla content but its been too many MONTHS without this thing working. It should be ok to play normally with, and I will be closely monitoring HE damage and tuning it where I can.

I am aware that explosion damage isn't working properly, this is because they changed how explosion damage works (it now teleports to the nearest craft to be more consistent [with airburst] but this means the shield completely messes that up.) It's the middle of april which means school is kicking my a$$ especially as a college student, but I just wanted people to know that I'm aware of this. Sadly I can't promise a fix in the immediete future, but I will try to fix it or atleast have one of the other guys fix it soon. Thanks for 650 downloads!

literally had to half the content of that comment.... *sigh*. should've honestly just responded in two. Oh well, too late now. Join our discord so I can actually write a comprehensive response lol

Interesting perspective, and completely understandable. In my personal testing, I have found that the cost it takes to build a shield is equal or even worse than if there was no shield, however I will not claim to be a master of craft or laser. I will lightly push back on the idea that it blocks "-ALL-" damage, because piercing particle cannons will ignore the shield, and explosions close enough to the craft still scratch the outer hull. Steam character limit SUCKS

I will push back on the planar shield comparison for one main reason: The planar is RNG dependent (for shells), whereas the dome shield is 100% consistent, assuming no bugs. With a planar shield, at the end of the day it's chance, even though the % in the UI is fairly accurate. The dome shield does not have a chance.

We've also talked about letting high AP shells through, but steam character limit so I can't elaborate :(

I appreciate the feedback though! If you can think of any possible solutions, please let me know.

I really like the concept of this mod, especially a shield that is round or spherical. I also love the idea of such a device that feeds off a laser system. The fact that it has yet to take EMP or PACs into account is unfortunate, but that's not what's stopping me from using it.

The fact that it blocks -ALL- damage until the laser energy is depleted - in my opinion - makes this just too OP, especially considering that vanilla shields only block up 40% of incoming projectiles and, I seem to recall, up to 30% of laser damage even when said shields are set to level 10 or maximum power draw.

Sure, this system is not truly invulnerable as it will stop working once the laser energy is depleted. But, in the meanwhile, it effectively acts as a short term God Mode. I could accept this blocking more than vanilla as it runs off a laser system. But 100% blockage is too much.

Sorry for such a late reply... that's really interesting. I've never seen or heard of that ever happening, I'm not sure how I'd fix that. If you end up seeing this, any chance you could DM me on discord? I'd really like to help, I just don't think I could do anything here on steam comments.

Hello there, I have a very strange bug to report. I was previously affected by a bug that, for strange reasons, caused all physical projectiles to freeze in midair. oddly enough, through my careful testing, I have determined that this mod is to blame. Whenever I loaded the game, I would receive two error messages that said something about null values or something similar, and it would state this mod as the producer of said errors. I am not sure how this is the case, and I'm not sure if I'm unique in this issue. I simply wanted to bring this to your attention. Thank you for the great mod and have a good day.

I have no experience with linux unfortunately. I wouldn't know how to fix it on my own, atleast not while school is finishing up for the semester (aka way too busy to work on the mod for a couple weeks). I'm sorry the shaders aren't working though, Glitch in the discord might be able to hep you.

shader issues definitely haven't been fixed. are your paths wrong or something? this game has a native linux version

have the shader issues been fixed?

did you try to check which version of the game it could be? if it breaks it's due to something.

I need to update the GitHub version, it's terribly outdated

Its still broken

Hmm, I was prepping VSCode and I was gonna show any errors in a github gist, but after a complete reinstall of the mod, it seems to be working again; which is strange because I've done this in the past before with no dice. Note that I deleted the mod from my mods folder, restarted the game, redownloaded the mod, and restarted the game again. This might help anyone who was having a similar problem that I was.
If I run into this problem in the future, I'll try and catch any errors and show them to you.

hmmm... One thing I would recommend, if you have visual studio, is going ahead and opening up the mod code itself. If you don't know where that is, Documents->From The Depths->mods, the folder is currently titled "FTD-Dome-Shield-huwa-Latest-4" (I'll probably rename that folder to just "Dome shield" in a little bit though). From there you can manually build it with F6, make sure you do both debug and release. If there's an error that pops up in the code, let me know, if there is no error but the mod still doesn't work than unfortunately I have to say the problem almost certainly isn't with the mod itself

Hmmh, it's still not working unfortunately. Is there anything I can do to help?

That is very weird. Apologies for asking, but have you consulted the readme file to make sure you've done it right?

its not working, i set it up with laser and it didnt stop anything

Had a couple people say this isn't working, so I updated it again. Seems to be working for most but not all, I'm not sure why that is. Azzy, Is it purple because it's not working or because that's what the shield color defaulted to? You can change the color if the block is working

I'd come stop by the Discord to report this, but I'm a little limited on time right now.
I'm having an issue where editing the advanced shield will only pull up blank windows, and despite being able to charge the shield via laser systems, it still doesn't work at all. I'm curious if anyone else is having a similar issue?

why is it purple? looks nothing like thumbnail

Dome Shield works again! thank you!

could the two people that said it's broken please let me know if it's fixed? Thanks
