Abh Mod v0.7.2.8 for Cosmoteer 0.15.14a,0.15.15

Lafiel

I've uploaded Abh 0.7.2.8 WIP1. It fixes two crash issues with Kroom's and grappler arms. Most of the changes have been about updating and QOL. Shields are now customize-able but this doesn't show in blueprint so you got to actual run the game to see the changes.
There's still more work needed for stats and graphical bugs, and some mechanical work. A lot of tedious stuff but this is close to finished.

I forgot to remove an entry for a part meant for steam release so I fixed it and reuploaded it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

YAreyaREdAzE

can't wait to not see the steam parts because I have no money

So @YAreyaREdAzE found a new problem only when loading the ship and have torpedo launchers set to mine mode. In other words when a ship is saved with that setting it will crash when loaded into the game later.

YAreyaREdAzE I might add them after the release or when I decide to abandon Abh before the release.

Lafiel when I decide to abandon Abh before the release.

Beg your pardon

~~i've been pinged twice, what is the meaning of this?~~

I've re-uploaded 0.7.2.8 WIP1 version with a hotfix for a circumstantial calculation bug that came up with the demolition bomb. Honestly, it's a combination of many game bugs rather than the mod's code but it was possible to force a fixed value of 1 to avoid the zero state.
The torpedo launcher mine mode is one of those un-fixable toggledcompnent bug so you just have to avoid saving your ship or savegame with the weapon in mine mode.
@YAreyaREdAzE

Roasted I'm saying it's a perfect time to abandon any mod since none will be compatible anyway (without work).

Lafiel mate i won't ever save with mine mode (rip mine bomber)

I've uploaded a fix for some hangar mirror bugs in Abh 0.7.2.8 WIP1. For some reason mirror code went missing for mirror parts. It was probably a compatibility conversion code transfer bug.

There is still a savegame loading bug in BH with the new shield customization. It's typical unsolved game bug with ToggledComponents. I don't really want to go back nor convert it to a more laggy but more reliable version.

YAreyaREdAzE It will be fine if Walt ever fixes the bug.

Alright devs, I got a bug for you. [This is my first time posting so let me know if I'm doing this wrong.]

The error reads as follows:

"Error loading game: An item with the same
key has already been added. Key:
PivotAnchorLocation".

I already tested some things and figured out. Its the "siff gen 1" and its new rotation function. The game had an issue with saving/loading the rotation settings for some reason. If you need anything else to get this fixed just let me know.

TheWittyRobin It's an game loading problem with UI & ToggledComponents that comes up more often in BH than creative. It's either a conflict of multiple save states or a reset and current state when the game loads and recreates things. Either way it's not something that can be solved in code. Even though workarounds are pointless since there's no way around using the same code structure I've come up with one which might work. However, it relies on states so it can't salvage the savegame. For that you will have to use the previous Abh version 0.7.2.8 WIP0 (0.15.12b).
Load it with the old version, drive around a bit, maybe reset shield angles to first option=-45) and save. Then get the next Abh version to be released soon, load the new save, set shield angles ....

Thanks for the help. ill let you know if it worked but in the mean time. have you ever thought about a master on/off switch for the behavior categories? trying to create a specialist room by hand with the lag alone could take 30 minutes easy.

Lafiel

TheWittyRobin You mean crew job priorities? No, that's not possible to mod as that's hard coded. You can select all similar parts by double/triple clicking and from the menu quick reset. Once setup you can just copy paste the part for similar ones. For in depth see https://forum.cosmoteer.net/d/11843-introduction-to-crew-management

TheWittyRobin

The version you suggested seems to be working like a charm. Appreciate the help on that!

Lafiel

I've uploaded the Abh 0.7.8.2 WIP2 version which has fully expanded on the new shield changes. Added 1x2 and 2x2 compound bridge parts to improving aesthetics for larger bridges.

YAreyaREdAzE

finally, larger blocks, i'll see what i can do

Heyo devs, love the mod but I can't seem to load any of my save games, with the error "Error loading game: An item with the same key has already been added. Key: CommonReloadTimer. It's fine if the saves are lost, just would like to be able to save

Lafiel

Currently, there's a lot of game mechanics based crashes and savegame state loading crashes. 90% of the time there's nothing I can do to fix them.

As 0.15.13 is coming out soon with a lot of code changes. I've decided to put some fixes back into the WIP2 that is for 0.15.12b. Frankly, most of these fixes are a step back to the previous WIP1 so I'm keeping the version number.

Meanwhile, I'm moving the WIP3 to 0.15.13 compatibility. Since final 0.15.13 changes aren't set this will have to wait a bit.
