I tried using the mod but it bugged and just compressed the normal exosuit into itself any idea how to fix this?

I can't, but you can.
Find your workshop folder for Barotrauma(ID 602960), then this mod(ID 2928517286).

Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/602960/2928517286

Copy the Exosuit.png

Go to your local Barotrama Directory, and look for;
Barotrauma/Content/Items/Jobgear/Mechanic

And paste the Exosuit.png over the Vanilla one.

It will work fine, no fuss or issues.

could you make this clientside?

I am likely not going to make any more combo/patch mods with this, feel free to make your own.

Can I request a combination of this texture mod and a mod which alters the functionality of the Exosuit?

Okay then, thanks you.

Nah, but I do give permission to make your own.

I figured it out, there's a weird mod thing with the THG armory Exosuits, can you make a compatibility for that?

I don't know if I did something wrong or if the mod is broken but the arms are where the head is and the torso is huuuge.

YIPPI

It was my first ventures spriting, I liked the concept of the exosuit, but I didn't like how it was very bulbous, and felt that it would make using normal tools difficult.

I dont get what people see in this, it's kinda ugly

50/50 mod

thanks i hated the old ones

Thank you for this mod!

@mead, what you can do is replace the texture file for the Exosuit with this one. I'm doing right now, the game updated and reverted the change.

I would love to, but unfortunately, I have no knowledge of programming. If it’s simple for you to do, I’d be very happy if you could add it. Also, as I mentioned, having a different color version of the suit that highlights the medic (like white coloured with a red medic symbol on the arm) would be fantastic to include with the mod. Thank you again for this great retexture mod; you’ve done an amazing job

That's because they both overwrite the Exosuit, which is not an additive process. Whichever one you place on top takes priority of the one below it.

If you want to make a patch for it, you have my permission.

Also I'm having an issue with the sound effect when using it with the immersive diving gear. If this mod is above immersive diving gear in the load order, the robotic footstep sounds don’t play. However, if it’s below in the load order, the appearance of the exosuit doesn’t change at all

I hope you can include a medic recolour of this as well it would be really cool

This is so much cooler than vanilla one

@сясь тьмы
What you can do is replace the default texture file with this one. That way, you'd have your Exosuit altering mod with the new look.

Looking good.

Aye, I like that.

Hey, I was able to align the arms!
Torso: 0.55, 0.75
Pelvis: 0.54, 0.45
You lose some height for the Exosuit, but everything fits.

Is it possible to make a compatibility patch with the "Better Exosuit with Platform" mod?
I really like the new design of the exo suit, but the above mod, adding convenient functions to it, also returns it to its original appearance.

I tried to keep it relatively the same size as the vanilla one, as to let the stats still make sense.

both have their charms, this one might do better with a slightly less protruding torso. still looks nice tho

No, same size as the Abyssal one.

Isn't its head too small?

Roger that, just wondering.

It looks a little odd in normal standing position, but any other point in the rotation, it's the best overall.

Also, I can't make this one thing use a different skeleton, so everything has to line up with human joints.

Are you able to align the arm with the torso by chance?

Working Now. Check Change Notes.

...In my haste to get the update ASAP, I might've forgot to change the sprite reference. Fixing now.

as of the new patch this does not work anymore

Guess what, that did the trick, thank you mighty.

@[ST] SGT. Shorty
Thank you, I will try my best.

@Havel L. Krik

This is what I mean about texture swapping the vanilla file.

Locate the Steam directory that your game is in, then follow these.

Steam > steamapps > workshop > content > 602960 > 2928517286 > Items > Jobgear > Mechanic

Bring that and replace

Steam > steamapps > common > Barotrauma > Content > Items > Jobgear > Mechanic

Make sure you have a back-up for the original one.

In a sense, that method also makes it work wherever there isn't another texture override, and makes this mod no longer needed to be downloaded to work.

@[ST] SGT. Shorty
I'm going to fresh install the mod and if that fails. I'll fresh install the game. Also, I don't know how to open files such as that on my computer, but if all else fails, I will try.

@Havel L. Kirk

I have no clue what your problem may be, as everything should work. Have you restarted your game after applying it, as to let the override run properly?

Other than that, I have no idea how to help you.

… other than finding this mods’ workshop file in your computer, and switching the game’s sprite for it, as it uses the same dimensions, but that is more of a permanent change.

@[ST] SGT. Shorty
Yes, that is the first thing I did, but no luck. It gives the purple text saying "Exosuit Retexture" when I hover over the suit. I downloaded a 1-handed Riot Shield mod and that worked fine without problem. I know not what the problem is.

@Havel L. Kirk

Did you move it from the right column to the left one, then press “Apply?”

It’s applied the same as any other mod, no server restriction.

Is this mod only for multiplayer or can it run in solo campaign? I'm new to modding and I can't seem to get this one to work. It's the only mod I have installed too.

got it, thanks champ

No clue, as it should work fine. Make sure you do a few checks to see if it's reading right on your end, as some mods will overwrite the Exosuit. If they do, be careful overwriting it, as this sets it's stats back to vanilla.

tried to download the mod into a save for a server i hosted and it wont show the re-skin version, there anything i can do to solve this or nah?

Thank you for making the exosuit less goofy my guy

Yes, shouldn't hurt it.

can i add it to already started save?
