@RugerXVII it does not, fire away !

Does this prevent outgoing projectiles like standard shield belts, or can my gravship use its turrets while the shield is raised?

@grehnik Can't reproduce your ship exactly cso i'm missing so many mods but the general shape def works (Screenshot here: https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/12300584436568749464/F8053E86124C7EDFC7CE129B02F70F789DACB7E5/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false)

I've added something to refresh the shielded area occasionally and also a new manual mode that will also regenerate when de/re-activated

@Inquisitor Added a manual mode now :)

Does the script not have dynamic updating?
In other words, if I build something while it’s already active, will it not recognize the new structure?

Uploaded the XML to GitHub. Damage goes through in the areas where the shield is visually missing. Also, the logs mention that the shield loads fewer ship cells than there actually are.

@grehnik the only other thing to check is if it's actually shielding the ship or is it just failing to draw the shield so if you can get it attacked on a side that's not being drawn on and see if the projectiles are still stopped that would be handy too.

@grehnik, Gah that's annoying, ok I'm gonna need to get a closer look myself, I imagine sharing your save won't work cos of different mod lists, you could try exporting your ship with my other mod then uploading the ships xml to Github and I can try investigating that way https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3576790938

Unfortunately, it’s still the same — only part of the ship gets covered.

I really hope there would be a way to switch the shield on and off..! my ship raising shields because of one lone rat going berserk..

@grehnik I've pushed a new version, I've tested it with a large ship with 4 grav extenders and it seems to work, basically above a certain size I seem to be running into some limits with how many mesh's Unity can draw in one go :D

If this fix doesn't work I might have to add an alternative rendering mode for large ships that will look ever worse than the current one but might handle things better.

there is a list of mods that are compatible with CE regardless what their descreption might say, though you didn't even read that much so I doubt you'll read this either:
https://github.com/CombatExtended-Continued/CombatExtended/blob/Development/SupportedThirdPartyMods.md

and if you really want a comprehensive CE compatible shield mod, I'd go for eccentric tech - networked defenses

CE compatible?

Created it on GitHub.

@gregnik either https://pastebin.com/ or create an issue on the github and that should allow you to upload files as well I think

And this is what it looks like after “fixing” it — removing and placing it again so that it covers the entire ship.

WOW

How can I send you the log file? In general, the log for this mod looks like this:

one step closer to sos3

mortars?

@Noisy Koi I am the least talented graphic artist ever and roughly 4 hours of my own efforts and various LLMs only left me with some truly horrendous looking attempts at rounding the corners :D

@grehnik that’s very strange I’ll try it with some bigger ships and see where it’s failing, if you can enable the debug logging in the settings and upload your player.log somewhere for me to look at that that would also really help

Got it. At first, I thought the problem was with the grav-field extenders, but maybe it just doesn’t have enough time to detect the entire ship. If possible, I’ll add a link to a screenshot to show what it looks like. https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3593480501

any plans to give the shield a bit more graphic attention? like rounded corners or something?

@grehnik there shouldn’t be, the code basically looks for a grav engine and then uses that to figure out the area to shield, I’ll do some more testing tomorrow to see

@ren I know what that is will get it fixed tomorrow as well

After the grav-ship lands on another map, the shield shape becomes incorrect — it only covers part of the ship. Are there any known incompatibilities besides CE, or maybe this mod uses some kind of link to specific ship objects that other mods might have changed?

Error during startup
Failed to find Verse.ThingDef named Mote_LaserGraserBeamBase. There are 3419 defs of this type loaded.
Could not find SoundDef named Laser_Fire

is this mayhaps... ce compatible?

All right, thanks for clarifying that.

@angus_jo it is, the auto area is harder to do without a Gravship defining the edge, however I have something similar in my WallDefensesV2 mod where you can choose an area to be shielded

Does this only work with gravships, or can it also be used for a normal base?

@Aleadrex Yeah anything you fire will work fine, in actuality you can fire across the shield, the way the code works is it only destroys hostile projectiles (that's a bit more performent than checking origin and destination of shot)

Can pawns and turrets fire from inside the shield, or will the shield block all projectiles coming in and out?

@The God
Sorry I took a look and tried it, for some reason the Odyssey shield generators do something strange and try to initialise the shield too early so it causes a crash when you load it with the shield active :(

@Arcjc
Which is why I was asking for like an option or something instead of outright replacing it. But a cool mod nonetheless

@OngLaoCheoDo Basically it's how much of a weapons damage should be drained from the battery grid, i.e. if you have a Rifle that does 100 Damage, a setting of 100% will drain 100Wd from the grid, 50% will drain 50Wd, 0% will drain 0 (and basically disable the drain mechanic) Hope that's cleared it up :)

@The God, I try not to mess with Vanilla things too much in my mods, that way everything else works as normal and my stuff just adds to it (I don't know why you'd want both shield generators, maybe redundancy ? but someone might)

If you could make this mod so that the shield generators from odysey itself work like this then that would be incredible.

Right now for all my defensive needs I use a seperate mod cause all my ships are way too big for like 2 shield generators and manually turning them on is a pain

Absolute cinema ＼（❁‿❁）／

Would you please help to clarify "percentage of damage drained" in the mod's setting? Thank you so much in advance for your help.

I love shields that match the ship's shape! Amazing mod

@Sols should be fine yes :)
@Tardo it is, the auto area is harder to do without a Gravship defining the edge, however I have something similar in my WallDefenses mod where you can choose an area to be shielded next on my list is updating that mod to be more like this one

Is this strictly for gravships, or can it be installed on the ground as well?

safe to add mid game?

Well done

Didn't know I needed this, absolutely in love with it now though. Thank you!

WOW
