is it safe to download this mid playthrough?

@josh.schroeder2005: see links in the mod description above. It looks like the download from the official Goldhawk forums doesn't work any more (it just downloads an empty file) but the dropbox link still works. You may get prompted to log into dropbox but there's an option in the sign-in window at the bottom to download without logging in.

i can't find the other part of this mod

@HidanForPres: Off the top of my head, no (it's been a long time - I have a vague memory but without looking through and testing it I'm likely to make some mistakes). In short, you need to create new folders for each armour/weapon combo then set up the "spectre" files to point to the correct sprites. You can see the structure if you look in the sprites folder but it would be a bit of work to get going sadly.

Ah well. Thanks for getting back to me. Do you know how I could make them work? If not, i'll just save your armour for when I get plasma weapons, since they're all vanilla

@HidanForPres: yeah, it's probably a compatibility issue. Any new weapon would need to be set up to work with each of the new armours, otherwise it'll be glitchy. (Sorry).

For some reason, my guy's weapons arent showing. I am using an upgraded laser mod, so could that be it? Still, it seems to use the same model

@Cyphermasq - I think so? It's been a very long time, but I think Andron "autopsy" is a prerequisite for unlocking cybernetic armour, which then unlocks the other variants when you have done the relevant interrogation.

So if I understand correctly, to get the option to build this stuff I need to get the android robots and get their dissection completed first, so having all the other research won't matter if I havent' encountered them yet and the mod is likley working fine?

I think you need to put the Armour Resource Pack folder (not the zip, the one inside it) in your Mods folder and make sure it is activated and has lower priority than Cybernetic Armour. Might be wrong though, really long time since I did any of this.

so I tried this mod except when I went to download the Armour resource pack Zip it wasn't a gig sized file and all that was in it was the Cybernetic armour zip file?

tried messing with some things but now I have gotten to the point in game of having the Wolf armour researched and manufactured but can't equip.

@SilkeSky: To open up predator armour, you need to have done Wolf Armour and the Andron Disassembly (which I think is just the automatic Andron autopsy, it's been a while). To unlock cynbernetic armours, you need to have done Andron Disassembly as well.

As such, you either haven't done one or both of those technologies, or it's because you activated the mod after starting the game. (I seem to remember that the tech tree gets loaded at the start of a new game so adding mods in later won't work. But, again, it's been a long time so I might be wrong).

I meant to activate start a new playthrough with this mod, but I forgot to activate it in the launcher until I was a few hours in. I did so, but now I cannot unlock the Predator suit and I have not seen anything regarding the Cybernetic upgrades. I've captured the alloy armor and reactor samples; I've got assault shields and Furies now. Just can't build the better armor :/

sorry, i was looking on steam, found it now

@The Wizard of Nova Scotia: it is still available at both the locations listed in the mod description above (i.e. on the Xenonnauts forum and in my dropbox account). I've just checked both to be sure and they seem to be working fine.

i can't find the armour resource pack, does anyone have a link?

For those with the same issue. Move the folder within ''Armour_Resource_Pack'' (called ''Armour Resource Pack'') out into the mod folder where ''Armour_Resource_Pack'' is located. Seems its an extraction issue creating a folder that isnt needed.

Found the problem. It was extracting the file and creating a folder named: ''Armour_Resource_Pack'' rather then a plain text folder which all the others are named as. The plain text folder was within the one with ''_ ''. Now to launcher mod tool see's it.

Same problem as Average Cyborg. ZIP file isnt recognised by the games built in mod tool. Also tried the self extract and drop in the correct folder and the launcher mod tool doesnt recognise it.

@ThatFoeOverThere: I just checked the game file (it's been a long time!) and it looks like I changed the requirements so you have to capture and interrogate a harridan to unlock sentinel armour, which seems to be what you're missing.

I'm having an issue where the research for Sentinel armor isn't becoming available. I've got all the pre-reqs - predator armor, harridan autopsy, alien anti-grav generator, buzzard armor... is it possible there's a bug with the 'researches' file? The only mods affecting research techs I'm playing with are Tactical Armories and this mod

@amak888 - I would guess that you don't have the Armour Resource Pack installed/activated, or don't have it in the right order relative to Cybernetic Armour (Cybernetic should load after Armour Resource Pack). In Cybernetic Armour, I changed the look of the base Wolf Armour (hence why it's referring to Wolf_4; the original sprite is used for one of the advanced armours). So the issue will be that it can't find the correct sprites for some reason. But shouldn't be an issue with the mod itself.

For some reason, troops using Wolf Armor use a bugged out sprite of Jackal Armor with no weapon. In the Editor/Console these troops are using armor_wolf.4. If you give them armor_wolf then the sprite appears correctly.

@Average Cyborg - I may be misunderstanding you but have you unzipped the download? Otherwise I really have no idea why it wouldn't be working - have not heard of or encountered this problem before.

My game wont recognize the file armor resource pack as a mod and i dont know why. when i start up the game launcher it states either file is not a mod or error reading zip central directory. Help would be great.

Great Kabil!

@Rusya: I take the fact that I and many others have been able to get the mod to work fine as evidence that the mod is not "broken". More productively: do you have the Armour Resource Pack installed and, if so, do you have it in the right load order (i.e. with this mod given higher priority). Without the Armour Resource Pack, the mod won't work. And if you started a game using this mod and then tried to remove it, then it will break your save because certain technology assets the game thinks should exist won't any more.

!!!Broken!!!! Cant research futher jackal armor!!! Save games ruined, not loading WO this @#$@#$ broken mod.

Yes, that's sensible. Done.

Kabil ... in addition to my thanks below, I propose you add the link to dropbox at the main topic/mod page, if you can affort to keep it up for long :-)

Kabill, thanks for the mod and thanks for the dropbox link at your comments also!!! Keep up the perfect job!!!

Nevermind, eventually found it! That was harder than it probably should have been, though.

I downloaded the resource pack just fine. But, I can't seem to find any "mods" folder... :(

@AbsynthMinded: I'm not sure the mod is high enough quality to warrent that, even considering it would be free. Plus, I suspect GH are very busy with their new game now!

I had not read all the details, with apologies. Could there be any consideration for setting it up as a Free DLC?

@AbsynthMinded: As I say just below, the Resource Pack is to large to upload to Steam Workshop and I can't even quite break it down into a set of submods which are under the 100mb upload limit. However, also if you look below, you'll find a link to the Resource Pack which I've uploaded to my dropbox account. I may need that space for something else one day but it's live for now.

Not willing to create an account at the main web site for the required content. It should be available as a seperate worshop download here, or an unsecured web download.

Yeah, that's it!

Nevermind just changed the load order

Just wondering if anyone knows, how do I make the armour resource pack not give me an unlimited supply of every armour in the game right from the start?

Can't promise this will stay up forever (I may need the space) but I've uploaded the Resource Pack to my drop-box account and it can be downloaded from here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zadc5qznp5qoxv1/Armour%20Resource%20Pack.zip?dl=0

@bearhiderug: that's fair enough. If I could upload the Resource Pack to Steam then I would but the file size is too large.

@bearhiderung: you will need to create/log in to your Goldhawk Interactive forum account after following the link to be able to download the Armour Resource Pack (which I assume is what you are wanting to download).

UPDATE: Apologies to all for the delay but I* have finally sorted out the Armour Resource Pack which is now available for download again. Follow the topmost link in the description above which will take you directly to the download page.

* Solver deserves most of the credit since he dredged up the old download from the servers so I didn't need to upload it again myself.

@kabill I know life happens thanks for all you've done Super awesome mods and I hope to see you on Xenonauts 2 :P

@Mad Monk: Ah, yes, that would make sense. Glad you found the problem.

Sorry, have been super-busy with work. Also, might require a lot of fixing - not sure at the moment whether the GH forums are still available for hosting mods so I may need to find a new place to upload the resource pack (too big for Steam, sadly). So might take a while. Sorry about that.

Any news on the resource pack?

Update: It SEEMS the error is being caused by another mod called Aegis Armor, actually. False alarm!

Thanks for the quick update love all your other mods as well can't wait to get this one sorted and installed :P
