plz update pretty plz

Hi @STORI3D, since the game is now released out of beta, will we ever see an update of this wonderful mod? It seems the game won't be updated any more at least for a very long time if not never...please!!!

Hey Titanius. I want to, but I want to see what some of the next Medieval Engineers main updates add to or change about the game. The last time I made these, it was a boatload of work, and then all of it was made redundant or broken with game changes. So I want to wait until blocks & walls & everything are closer to their final form before I try it again.

will this mod ever make a comeback with updates and new things ? :o

Yes, please please, a least just an update for the false wall would make my day!! I used that thing everywhere for hidden castle passages!! Maybe throw it Deepflame's way, I know he loves these sorts of things!!

Please do make an update.

Please update the false walls I miss this in the game

we are all DOOMED!!!!

It was awesome while it lasted.
Thanks for making such a great mod (and thanks for making an updated better version)

Thanks reloader, I had a hunch this wouldn't work. It also uses the -extremely- old door system from before Planets. I'm going to have to make this a LEGACY mod too. I'll start over with a fresh design for some of these trap doors & false walls, it'll be a lot better.

Don't work with last update

Hi Titanius. It is tricky to place it. It's best to practice a little in an open area so you can see how it places. When you place it, you will get the 1 block of wood floor and you will also get the lever. The lever spawns about 2 blocks away. That's on purpose, so you can pull it from a distance.

how do you get the wood one to work? placeing it is a bit buggy and i only get 1 block of wood floor ?

You bet, Lemmy. I really like it too. I hope to have some time to learn the new mechanics and start updating it with new booby traps and tricks.

Thanks for the fix, love this mod!

Hey Titanius. As promised, I got back into the files for this, and fixed the wooden trap door lever. You can find the hitbox now, and the system works like it's supposed to!

wooden one needs a fix cant get it to work ;(

Yea, I mean that you think.

Hey Alan, I'm Harry. Thanks for explaining the idea more, I think I get it now. A good idea, one I'll look into... You know, something similar could be made as an escape hatch too. Like a fire escape. You can only activate it when standing on top of it. If you flip the switch, it will descend and lower you down to the ground level safely.

Hey X C a n G -- so you would like to see the wood floor (and stone wall) look the same, but be a small-grid item so that you can attach cranks & rotors to it to move it manually? I think that can be done. It's an interesting idea, and could add a lot of functionality. Thanks for that!

Of course not for that mod, for new one.

I have different idea, can you make wooden floor and may be stone wall for small grid? That I just can place it on timber and move by hand crank wheel or by rotor and activate it I need (rotate mostly). Just because right now it no possible to iterate with larger grid by small grid.

Hi, what I was thinking about was something like a pair of shuttters 2x1 block size in perhaps a wooden surround, laying flat. I can't remember the number of staircases that I have built that I then had to build a rooftop building to keep out the rain, then I thought of your window shutter and realized it would work perfectly if scaled up and rotated. By the way do you have a name. I find storied past a bit cumbersome. Al

Hi alan. These are great ideas, thanks for the suggestions! Don't be sorry, I'm really glad for a little bit of inspiration & to hear what people are looking for. It's funny you mention the cauldron -- I have been thinking about adding that to the Containers & Accessories mod for many weeks. I agree, would be a big help. I sort of understand what you mean with the stairwell cover. But if you find a picture on the Web that shows what you're thinking, copy the link and post it here for me so I can see better.

Can I but in and add more ideas and more pressure. You know it keeps you young and stops the mind from rotting.

One item I would use is the wooden bowl produced in metal. on the lines of a couldron.
My main thought would be is it possible to create a stairwell cover, I'm thinking a 2x1 shape split lengthwise. When the doors are opn they creat railings and when closed the keep out the rain.
If possible an activation button both above and below.

I'm sorry I'm asking a lot but this is something everyone would use.
Thanks again for all the wonderful products
Al

we need more mdos :D

lol right, i know the feeling

A great idea wolfgar! When I get time to get back to this I had that idea in mind -- I was going to put the lever one or two levels lower, so you could be on the same level as your victim and could tell exactly when to pull it. So many ideas, so little time! :)

Idea for the trapdoor.

Drop some rocks surprise

Great news! You're very welcome

it works !!! happy days ty buddy :D

There we go. Try it now. The hitbox is about 1/4 of the way up from the bottom, right in the center. It should be findable on both sides of the door, and findable whether the door is open or closed. Let me know how it works for you!

STORI3D PAST# ahhh ok ty buddy :D

Hey Lightning. This is a problem with the new Planets update. They changed how the hitboxes work. Mine is now buried deeply inside the hidden wall & not findable! Let me see if I can rework the file and make it visible again. Give me a few minutes...

can someone help me out... :( i cant for the life of me get the hidden wall to work O_O

no need to have the same hitbox do two things, better to have 2 hitboxes, less chance of easily discovering the hidden use of the hitbox.

for example the lever hitbox on torch would be on the base where it connects to the wall.

I'd love to have a lever with multiple hitboxes. I haven't figured out a way yet for the game to recognize them. But that could just be me! The torch that's a torch -and- a lever would be a great trick, and a lot easier to blend into a build. I'll look into it. Separating the trap & lever right now aren't really possible -- the one is completely locked into the other's position & angle. Move the one and the other moves with it. It's juuuuust possible to use the "Torsion Bar" mechanic with a rope and turning block to do something like that. Worth looking at! I like the fireplace idea too. If I can get a hitbox that does two things at once that would make soooo many things possible.

By the way, what about making the lever a normal torch with 2 hitboxes, 1 for the fire another for the door.

It would be perfect if you could sepaate the lever and the trap itself so it could be placed anywhere, but I know it would be hellisly complicated. I can only think of tinkering with the rope drum / rope / rotating handle for mechanisms that I not remember the name of... scripts to get a connection from any (reasonable) distance.

Plus another idea, Fireplace door, looks like normal fireplace mod block with two decorations on sides, but one is a lever that switches off fire and opens back brick side so you can walk/crouch through the fireplace like an arch/door.

Pointy hat and everything! Lol, thanks a lot. I hope you have fun with it!

._. are you a wizard?............




seriously lol, great job !

Hurra, I made a difference with a comment cause im too busy IRL.
* insert its something meme*

@DiegoKevin: The disguised stone wall is in the game now. Enjoy ;)

Haha. "Wrong lever Kronk!" Thanks DiegoKevin! I'm glad you're liking this. I'm -totally- thinking of the disguised stone wall door, it's the perfect size & fit. I'm going to start working on it soon, hopefully.

Checking the Medieval Engeneers workshop page
*inser woody and buzz meme*
Doors windows and moving covers everywhere


Now on a serious note, all this shit is really stupidly useful, like this thing right here I never knew I needed it but I do and its better than my cathc block monstruosities (plus it fits on small spaces).

@STORI3D PAST Productions keep up the awesome work!
(and right now a disguised stone wall door is coming to mind, and "Wrong lever Kronk!!" scenes too. ·_· I really dont know what has gotten into me.

Hey alan. I don't mind at all, and you're way too kind! That's a great idea to use it less as a trap and more as a pull-down access point -- like attics in houses today. Lining up the floors to look right could be tricky, but it's worth giving it a shot.

Neat, have been trying to link more than one, is it possible
The trapdoor I had in mind was to open a quarter of a floorboard block when used as a ceiling so a ladder can be dropped or places.
I hope you dont mind my many requests but you are the best thing that has happened to this game.
Alan

Awesome!

Lol, thanks much, both of you. Enjoy! I'm going to keep trying to tweak that hitbox so it looks & works the best I can get it.

Locked doors and traps come to my house now lol. Thanks!

i was about to stop playing, but then i was this and i have to go try it out.
always great stuff dude, i hope/expect this to turn out amzing.
