** LEGACY MOD ONLY Version 0.4 ** Doors & Window Shutters ** NOT COMPATIBLE With 0.5 **

**** NOTE: May 9, 2017: The new 0.5 update has likely broken this old Doors & Windows mod. It is now a legacy mod, usable largely only on older branches, earlier than 0.5 (probably 0.2 - 0.4, but there are no guarantees). Because vanilla doors & window shutters now do most of the things that this old mod did (and even more), I will not be maintaining it anymore. Thank you for all the support & feedback on this mod over the past several months, I hope you enjoy my others, most of which I am working hard to maintain and keep live as the game grows. ****

**** NOTE April 23, 2017: This is a legacy mod, made with a door-mechanism system that Keen no longer uses. Keen may discontinue support for this older system at any time in the future. If this mod breaks in future game updates, I probably will not be able to fix. Please use with that in mind. ****

Hi all.

My latest mod brings to Medieval Engineers something people have been asking for a looooong time: working, usable doors and window shutters!

This door functions based off of Keen's "Wooden Gate" mechanism. I shrunk that down and adjusted it so that only one door is visible. I'm really happy with how it looks and works. I've posted a little 10-second clip of it in action on Twitter: https://twitter.com/STORI3D_PAST/status/777218586045743104. And another one with the round-top door for stone walls here: https://twitter.com/STORI3D_PAST/status/778959658509893632

The door comes with a thin "frame" around it, and the whole thing is designed to be buried within a wooden or stone doorway. All of the framework disappears inside the wood or stone wall except for a subtle "door jamb." The door jamb gives the door a logical place to close up against, instead of just air. Point at the door handle and press the 'F' key to open/close the door. The door also connects to Keen's new Locking/Ownership system, so only friends can enter.

This door comes in four varieties: (1) rectangular for the wooden doorway; (2) round-topped for the narrow stone doorway; (3) round-topped angled to fit the 2 basic curved-wall doorways; and (4) double-doors to fit the extra wide stone doorway. I also have included a hinged window shutter that opens vertically and appears to be propped open by a rod bolted into the side of the wooden window frame, plus a set of traditional side-opening window shutters.

I plan to make doors to fit in the remaining varieties of stone doorways in the game. This mod also is complete with Blueprints and Schematics so all versions are fully buildable in Survival.

*** BACKUP DOOR LOCK: If the game sees any dynamic thing lying on the ground on the inside of a door, the door won't open or close. To lock your doors, simply close them and then drop any dynamic thing (wood block, iron bar, plate, whatever) on the ground by the door. The door becomes unopenable. It can only be entered from the outside by being destroyed. ***

To destroy the door and get into a building, you need to attack the frame. This is what the game recognizes as the actual structure. When you attack the doorway that the frame is embedded in, the frame also takes damage. I have the integrity set to 2000. It's hard to hit down a door with a sword, but easy with a projectile. Also, if you have a large stone, you can pick it up, run with it, and then throw it against the wall to damage the wall & break the door. I kind of like that, it feels realistic.

Hope you enjoy!
