*** ABANDONED MOD *** Low Pitched Roofs & Wall System

Description
****** NOTE: As of December 7, 2017 I have decided to abandon any further updates to this mod. Nejispo has an identical one, and frankly his is better than mine. If you like the look of these roofs, check his out at http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=917148110 ******

Tile & wooden roof pieces at a much lower angle, plus many new wall sections to fit/finish builds.

*** UPDATE Nov 27, 2017: Updated to 0.6. ***
*** MAJOR UPDATE Aug 6-11, 2017: Reworked all tile & wood models & collision meshes, added round wood roof and all 6 wood/tile roof toppers. ***

Hi all.

This mod takes Medieval Engineers' basic roofing system and makes the pitch about twice as shallow. The tall, steep-pitched roofs look fine for many builds. But in many others they're very out of place. When finished, this mod will hopefully give you all a fully fleshed-out alternative to customize your worlds -- and make them more realistic for the region and time period you're building in.

This low pitch is great for:

-- Cathedrals & basilicas
-- Southern Europe, where winters are mild and roofs don't need to shed snow
-- Roman builds -- the Romans used low-pitched roofing whenever possible

among others.

There are now ***38*** roofing pieces in the game (with their own automatically-generated blocks around the edges) plus ***18*** wall-slope pieces (wood, palisade, and stone). I have the following in-game:

-- Basic tile roof (both "lower" and "upper" sections)
-- Corner tile roof (both "lower" and "upper" sections)
-- Inverted-corner tile roof (both "lower" and "upper" sections)
-- Round tile roof (just "lower" section for now, but "upper" to follow hopefully)
-- 6 tile roof top/caps (both "lower" and "upper" sections)

-- Basic wood roof (both "lower" and "upper" sections)
-- Corner wood roof (both "lower" and "upper" sections)
-- Inverted-corner wood roof (both "lower" and "upper" sections)
-- Round wood roof (just "lower" section for now)
-- 6 wood roof tops/caps (both "lower" and "upper" sections)

-- 2 stone slope walls, low-pitch (for both "lower" and "upper" sections)
-- Stone central wall, low-pitch (for use under roof cap)
-- Stone half-height wall (to fill in space under "upper" roof overhang)
-- 2 wooden slope walls, low-pitch (for both "lower" and "upper" sections)
-- Wooden central wall, low-pitch (for use under roof cap)
-- Wooden half-height wall (to fill in space under "upper" roof overhang)
-- 2 palisade slope walls, low-pitch (for both "lower" and "upper" sections)
-- Palisade central wall, low-pitch (for use under roof cap)
-- Palisade half-height wall (to fill in space under "upper" roof overhang)

All of this is unlocked with one Research schematic at the Research Table.

The roof pieces come at two different elevations. This allows you to connect them and make roofs as large as you want. These work really well in Planets. They place well & easily, and the generated blocks work right. Everything has collision built in, and it's all destructible.

And the walls are COMPOUNDABLE. Mix & match. Add cross-beams to your wooden walls or leave them bare. Whatever you choose.

Play around with these, find what works & what doesn't -- and let me know! I'll keep working it. If there are things I can fix, I will.

Hope you enjoy!

Too Bad I liked it quite a lot, even though it had issues

Hah, thanks Mr. Pink. Is it all working for you?
Mr. Pink 7 Dec, 2017 @ 5:40am 
you my good sir ROCK! héhé
Nicely done

Hey Mr. Pink. Oh geez, I somehow completely forgot to add Research to these blocks. Yeah, I need to go through and tie all of these blocks into the vanilla research, so they unlock at the appropriate times. Thanks for reminding me. I'll try to double-check to see that all variants are making it into the research too.
Mr. Pink 5 Dec, 2017 @ 7:30am 
since in survival mode the research is done tru quests now i think you might have to make us a little quest to unlock those missing parts variants...

Is it possible to ask for Diagonal Timber that matches the pitch of this roof mod? This would allow for internal A framing.
Mr. Pink 29 Nov, 2017 @ 3:48pm 
it's working fine in creative mode, but once in survival something is wrong with the research. its somehow unlocked but i don't see the schematic in the research table

Nice, that's great. Thanks for letting me know.
