For all of you waiting for 1.6 https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3536995307&searchtext=Spacer+Shields

@ПΛПО Dragoon
That seems very reasonable. Do it.

I'm wiling to wait till at least august at the very least before asking for mile to update the mod

@WhereTheChew
Maybe, but wait and see.

guys, considering the last update the mod got was in 2024, i dont think we can expect a 1.6 update

No rush! I hope the 1.6 update is going smoothly

update please

1.6 update coming?

update pls uwu

Ce is compatible on their end

CE ?

cant find the vanilla shields expanded menu in the mod anymore

Having the same problem of Character Editor throwing red errors and freaking out while selecting them.

When dyeing shields the color doesn't change but reloading saves solves it

Character editor freaks out when I try to select shields from this mod, but otherwise they seem to work fine.
Would be nice to have more durability on them

For some reason I can't dye my shields.

for anyone who find the armor fragile or whatever just go to the mod folder of this file and make a copy of it change the name and put it in the rw "mod folder" for personal use and change the value of the xml file to make it more sturdy. or whatever

I mean thats a couple of wolves.

Sounds like a bug. I'll look into it

Damn, did not know shields break incredibly fast.

Are these supposed to be completely destroyed in 5-6 hits? I don't mean the force buckler shield - I had a pawn with a pavise that lost all durability and broke from fighting a couple of wolves.

ok thanks LTS

@LincsHarry
The Power Pavise requires the marine armour research

I don't know why but I can't find the power pavise in the fabrication bench and also what research tree is the power pavise in?

Alas didn't seem to do it for me :(

@TOOTHBRUSHDUCK: For me the solution was to disable the Dual Wield mod. That somehow interfered with the shield settings. Now the settings do what they're supposed to :-).

Having the same issue unfortunately where the settings don't actually change what can be used

@LTS: Thanks for the advice, but I already tried that wíthout any success whatsoever. Doesn't matter what I enable there, it changes nothing in-game. Maybe a mod conflict :-(.

@Sumatris
put 'vanilla shields expanded' in your mod settings search bar.

Has anyone figured out how to make weapons shield-compatible? I was looking forward to playing with these shields, but the selection of weapons one can actually use in conjunction with them is abysmal. It's basically just medieval stuff plus the few Royalty ultratech weapons like the Zeushammer. Frustrating :-(.

I found that it seems compatible，but in reality it is not compatible CE

Gotcha. I had a feeling it was something dumb like that. Thanks a bunch!

@Tranquility: That's a vanilla issue. This mod fixes it:

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2739055353

So I'm having an odd issue; it seems to be requiring at least one biological arm to use one of these shields for me. If I have a pawn with two bionic arms it says "Can't equip, missing body parts." So, is this something you've heard of? Trying to figure out if it's a bug or maybe a mod conflict of some kind.

balanced but it can get bit op then use shield belts

Question lads, is it too overpowered or is it balanced?

帅爆了

@Orbit
I've been told CE added compatibility on their end.

ce compatible?=

@ShadzMadz
That's odd. I'd recommend checking your mod settings to make sure that the appropriate weapons are designated as usable with shields under 'Vanilla Shields Expanded'

I can't seem to use ranged weapons at all, they always say they're unusable unless i'm missing something?

THIS DID GET A PATCH FOR CE!!! LET'S GOOO!!!!

Oooh, I think this might be the first full review one of my mods has gotten. I'm glad you like it. You make a fair point about the cost of the force buckler, I shall likely adjust that soon. You may also be pleased to know I do have a few more shields planned, including an empire themed one with it's art assets complete that's just waiting on me sorting some code out.

If you're thinking to yourself, "how good can a mod actually be if it only adds 2 shields"
well...

I have reviewed it;

This mod is absolutely fantastic, you can literally full the love and hard work that's gone into making it! Any and all future updates and maintenance for this mod will be hugely welcome and appreciated! Good job!

@kev675243
That's irritating. I'll look into it.

@Airo
Huh, good to know. Thanks for mentioning it.

there seems to be so stutters or performance issues arising when equipping the force buckler as an apparel

a compatibility patches has been made for Combat Extended in their github with their new rendering system.

@Robob: Doing that has never stopped them from asking/demanding.

Fair enough,you may want to say "No CE compatibility" in the description so people stop asking

@Haiys
Can you provide your error logs or anything like that? Unfortunately, I can't really do anything with just the information you've provided.

@Robob
Nope. As with all my mods, anyone is free to make a compatibility patch and either upload it themselves or send it to me for integration. I've received enough rude comments from CE users that I don't feel inclined to make compatibility for a mod I don't use.
