Abh Mod v0.7.2.8 for Cosmoteer 0.15.14a,0.15.15

TheWittyRobin

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

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

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.

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.

Are there any plans to restructure ABH mod into several packages? For example: a specific mod package for BIO COMPONENTS another for Power Components and the like... similar to the structure of StarForge.
I'm asking this cause ABH is very heavy.
Thank You...

Lafiel

Shirou_Emiya Yes, but without mod dependency support it's not worth the effort since this inevitable increases maintenance work and are inefficient overall. Not only that but you have to load the packages in certain orders. Most people can't deal with any such extra procedures beyond just enabling a mod. Anyhow, it's a lot of reworking/reorganizing so probably not for at least half a year after steam release/or mod dependency support.
Walt has given no sign when that happens so could as well not happening for a long while.

joemama1512 Rather than a bug it's an inherrant phenomenon with low power systems. You see the shield for example only needs one or two battery to power. And supplying usually has to be done as a full battery. So there's little room for the shield to wait t be charged and it gets back up right away after getting a battery. The only way to make it more consistant with larger shield is to artificially slow or disable it via a complicated logic system. Other than that the drones are very weak, though. One or two missiles will kill them instantly. Since drones tend to be spammed making them complex is undesired due to lag. The simplest thing I could is set a timer. Not really sure how well it works

joemama1512

I think I found a bug with Drones. I noticed that they seem to be near impossible to kill. Their shields never seem to actually go down no matter what they are hit with. I believe it might be due to a lack of ResupplyThreshold which means as soon as a shield goes down, it immediately pops back up since theres no delay with the drone's internal battery supplier.

Whenever placing vanilla corridors the placing sound will continue sounding over and over, its like the game thinks the corridor isn't placed, it doesn't charge any money it just plays the sound. only happens when ABH is enabled.

Lafiel

Kingslycamben This is a long time game bug since 0.15.3(?) and might be also a (ELAN?) mouse driver bug usually on laptops only. If it's related to mods now it only means the game is bugged when importing mods.
As for corridors in Abh they don't have sound coded or otherwise related to building. So there's no point looking for any bug in the mod's code. If there's anyone needing to dive into the game's working and breathing code or mechanics it has to be Walt.

Lafiel

I've release a tentative 0.7.2.8 WIP3 version. Tentative because of the new changes in 0.15.13. And no it's not completely converted yet as there are tons of changes. I've reorganized and renamed a few resources in the background.
New:

added frag & rod/flechette torpedo to the cosmo torpedo launcher
added form parts for hangar; just the basics
centered compound bridge parts with different options
smaller vertical missile launcher

Got most of the problems regarding the game's new hold fire under control with some work around until Walt fixes emitters and bursts.
Long time game bugs are still plaguing a few parts but are mostly only causing crashes with loading save games (shield, modular railgun turret, large torpedo launchers in mine mode).

Gray Interresting, just used the mine dispencer the other day, what version of Cosmo are you running?

Gray

need halp

Gray

Roasted 15.13a

Lafiel

Gray It's a problem with Kroom's since it changes vanilla stats which the mod accesses.
I'll have it fixed along with a graphic fix soonish.

Gray

Ok sweet thanks
