is it working with rambo weapon pack?

@Bensonae - That's absolutely fine, yes. Thanks for asking!

@XeoNovaDan Mind if I use the textures and descriptions for a weapons mod that is designed by default to work with CE only? I'm planning to incorporate these weapons, the ones from CE Guns and some from the Weapons Tech mod into a single mod for CE games.

@Brankles - Yeah, that's absolutely fine

@XenoNovaDan - Mind if I use your radiation sickness hediff code for a mod of my own?

@XeoNovaDan - Okay.

@TTo - There won't be a B19 version of this, I'm afraid. This mod's free for the taking though regarding unofficial maintenance.

B19?

please add a Kalashnikov assault rifle to your weapon pack and call it " Basic assault rifle"

sucks, add more weapons

@Burgeoise Royalty - Yes. RC2 and the 'A18' branch both have sufficiently up-to-date versions of CE patches integrated, but the 'A18' branch one is optimal.

so it works on b18 ??

@Burgeoise Royalty - VFWE is natively compatible with the latest branch version of Combat Extended; no external patch needed.

ce patch pls

Nice.

@JoeDaTomato I may work on remaking a CE patch, yes.

Also, Denchik457, I love your profile picture.

Do you plan on adding CE compatability when the stable version comes out?

and I thought that your task is to add more vanilla weapons

@Denchik I appreciate the influx of ideas, but I'm not planning to make this weapon pack a Rimsenal, High Caliber or any other large weapon mod in terms of size; I'm keeping it small.

after all, as it is necessary to further develop the mod

it's all my ideas, and these two weapons will only be bought or found in corpses

automatic sniper rifle would be good "Marksman rifle" (m14)

well, either add another gun "Heavy pistol" (Desert eagle)

@Denchik457 Thanks!

What niches would your weapon suggestions fill though? We've already got a powerful SMG with the Heavy SMG, and we've already got a fast firing gun with the Machine Pistol. The Battle Rifle's role is already partially fulfilled with the Lever-Action Rifle, and the Assault Rifle would probably be close enough in terms of overall profiling anyway.

and "modern SMG" (mp5)

I think you should add a "battle rifle" (FN FAL)

great job! one of the few weapons mods that do not spoil the balance of the game

Done a 180 and decided to update this. Enjoy!

@icicle I've abandoned this one, as has been disclosed on my Ludeon forums thread. Forgot to update desc though.

Any idea how long you'll take for B18 compatibility?

@Rous Addressed in the latest version of the CE patch: v2.2.2b

@Rous Ah, that's definitely an oversight. Will address, thanks!

Hey there. Slings are considered 2H, and hence don't work with shields from Combat Extended. I did just notice/download the CE patch in the paragraph above, but have not re-tested this yet. So, disregard and delete if you know.

OK, I can't promise the flamethrower for this alpha, nor the Crossbow for that matter. I'll probably release a VFWE version with one or both of those weapons come A18, since I feel that we're approaching the end of the A17 cycle pretty soon.

@Jake I've tried multiple ways to balance the crossbow, and it just seemed to not quite work. I may have another shot in the future.

Also, I'm going to approach the flamethrower a bit differently; more as a multi-shot incendiary launcher. The flamethrower concept by default is rather imba, so I need to balance that.

I dont see what the problem would be with a crossbow. better accuracy and damage than the great bow, but much slower.

Also, a raider with a flamethrower would be an immense threat I'd like to encounter and deal with... then take the flamer and melt their base...

Ah no worries man! Still a great mod and I appreciate the hard work you put into it. Keep the idea in mind though!! #TribalisLife

@Rabbit That sounds like C# territory to me. I can't do C#.

Maybe have it do a base amount of damage and then scale down by the amount of meat provided by the target as darktoes suggested? Could use humans as a baseline, and meat provided over that gets a reduction.

Smaller animals would still take some damage while a large animal like the Thrumbo would have a ton of resistance; they are just darts after all.

I was toying with the idea of the DoT stacking a few times before reaching a maximum value but not sure if that would be possible or not.

If you could do it based on meat provided this would also make it pretty ineffective where it should be such as against mechanoids.

@darktoes Not with XML to my knowledge.

Is there some way to get it to scale with the meat amount of a creature?

@Rabbit I probably won't be rebalancing vanilla items. Heck, I don't think at this point that changing Short Bow's generate commonality was a super good idea.

As for blow darts... we'll see. The only problem is getting it to scale with animal body size; I don't want a thrumbo to go down as easly as a squirrel.

Meant to add this into my previous post, but, if the blow darts are a no go maybe at least rebalance the Pila a bit? I feel like it's basically useless for it's role. Yeah the damage is nice but the windup and recharge time seems far too long for the range and accuracy.

Possible to add something like blow darts? Maybe low range but fairly accurate. If possible does low initial damage but adds a DoT effect (ie. Poison) similar to how being on fire works but doesn't make pawns run around in a panic?

Or potentially make the projectiles, instead of doing damage, inflict mental breaks on targets such as Berserk or Sad Wanderer (sad wanderer to imitate confusion/hallucinations).

So kinda like a fire extinguisher but... the opposite intention.

@Darktoes The only thing is that it also needs to work with vanilla. I'm currently thinking a craftable but expensive single-use solution, short range, fires in one long burst, same blast radius as molotovs.

I see what you mean, it's just that this is the only CE compatible weapon mod I've found that isn't just a bunch of modern guns, and I'd really like some more... spacey gear. Some pew pew, y'know? The charge rifle is good, but it only fulfills one small role....
For the fire idea, maybe an upgraded molotov cocktail? Something with higher range and a greater blast radius or something? You could even make a flamethrower turret mounted, or have it be powered by chemfuel if balance is a worry.

@darktoes Maybe. I'm not quite sure yet.

I doubt I'll add any more charge weapons as to keep the charge rifle feeling unique in that respect, and plenty of other gun mods do that already anyway. As for the flamethrower, the concept of setting people alight seems like an overpowered one, so if I was to implement it, I'd need to balance it in some way. Possibly single-use or trade-only.
