oh 2 years.... and still the best armor system addon in the game. I'm still using it and still like it.

You still know how to make one for health instead?
I'm gonna donate to your paypal in the meantime because out of all the slop addons on the store; this one was a hidden gem.

It can be done very easily, add me on steam and remind me. And I will do it for free for ya

I would pay money to see the same be done for health

kinda OP

On the other hand it is realistic for a shield/armor system to recharge even if you're taking health damage because the system itself isn't exerting itself, I just thought it was strange at first, perhaps if this ever gets updated, I hope there would be an option to configure whether it should recharge even after taking health damage or exclusively armor damage.

I've done some good tests with this mod and I like it so far. It doesn't force amount restrictions if the shield exceeds the maximum number and is really performs much better than most other shield and armor type mods.

However my only nitpicks with this mod are that when the shield is fully depleted, it will still recharge no matter how much damage I take without it meaning that shield regen only stops when the shield itself is taking damage and not player health. And if I take tiny amounts of damage and the armor reaches 1 it registers as fully depleted even though there is 1 bit left.

Still a good mod. I hope it improves.

I heard some good things from this addon so I came to take a look at it. If all goes well. I hope there can be a version where it can have an energy shield effect. I hope there aren't any blood splat effects while the armor is active. If there is no interest in coming back to this then I at least hope others are allowed to make custom versions by using the system code. Looks promising.

Is it possible to commission you to make an edit of your old "Better Armor System v 1" But instead of being a server wide thing, make it into a SWEP that can be enabled and disabled, so it becomes a "Personal Shield"

Alright I see.Thanks

Its a conflicting addon

the armor isn't protecting me now as I still lose health. You plan on patching it?

That'd be nice

This is an old addon, probs should recreate it.

Thats pretty good

The rate of the shield regen, has no different rate, no matter what number I use.
To me, the shield strength, whatever number, it has the same durability.
And one more thing, what is the ammount?

Ok LUA errors are fixed on my side

The Convars doesn't work

thanks

Amazing, was looking for some kind of code that let your armour deplete first before your health. Nice one

ok thank you for you input i shall get to work on it tomorrow as i am currently working on creating a database

Spams 'Couldn't addvar maxarmor - type int is invalid!' in console now. Works normal that just gets spammed endlessly while in. Also, setting shieldregen_ammount to 0 does disable regen but once it has a value greater than that, armor jumps to whatever as if it was still regenerating, so setting shieldregen_max to 0 may be better. XD noted as well setting strength to zero makes you die instantly to any hit when you have armor.

Whatever the case may be, it hasn't been updated in over a year. So it essentially is dead.

They must be doing something ever to do with teams or SetModel("")

Yeah that one

as in the grey no animation one?

No problem. I've been waiting for another addon like this to come up. The Simple Energy Shield I mentioned before is okay but it has this annoying bug that sometimes turns you into that default Gordon model from Half Life 2.

ok, thank you for your imput i felt like i was making it too much like a private addon which i am usally make so i intent to add the convars in

When I was first messing with the regen speed, I noticed it kept regenerating past 100. That's what I'm talking about. Looking at the lua file with GMAD, the 'local max' is at 255. All things considered, with the strength of the 'shield', that's about 1275 damage you could take before losing health (100 armor would take roughly 500 damage before you lost health so assuming the damage you can take is the armor amount multiplied by 5), which is pretty overpowered. However having more convars as I can see you're planning to add will certainly be better.

There shall be an updated tonight GMT, once i have made sure my addon can support a float instead of an int number for damage

fluttershy, the amor is set to the default max at which you can get your armor to, i might create a convar which will allow you to change the amount,

EDIT for my last comment: A limit that isnt so high given how much reduced damage you get through it XD

Better than Simple Energy Shield XD. All it needs is just a limit on what the armor can regen to.

Look at my dev over here, being all sexy and shit <3

Love you star

very good....finally i can fight without dying so fast....

also you have starbound too? :D

Yes, it is more like si - fi armor

So its like armor from the halo series....cool cheese bro
