[Mod] New Items and Augments

[wodzu_93]

Operator, Incognita managed to hold on to a few of our prototype blueprints on the way out. Unfortunately, you'll need to get somewhat lucky with finding a compatible nanofab machine or augment grafter. Some of the guards may have also kept the prototypes themselves as souvenirs of a sort, so you might be able to lift them and get them back in our hands.

Originally made by Nerava (topic here), updated to use mod loader and Steam Workshop. Version 1.4

Installation: Extract archive into /Invisible Inc/mods folder.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ga1tuf2wzdwu6m/NewItemsAndAugmentsV1.5.zip?dl=0

 

Requires either "Sim Constructor" by Cyberboy2000 or "Sequential Mod Loader" by Lemonymous for Module 5 to work properly. Without it mod still works, but changes in Module 5 may get overwritten with default DLC augments.

 

Uninstallation: Remove mod's folder.

Some stuff sounds interesting, some too cheaty.

For example how Dermal Armor works? Is it makes agent 100% immune to guards without armor piercing or it removes when get shot?

In their default incarnations weapons like X-ray rifle and monofilament-baton are god-items too, are they rebalanced?

 

[wodzu_93]

Yes, Dermal Armor makes agent immune to guards wielding pistols. It stops being useful later on, as elite guards tend to wield SMG's and assault rifles. Note that this version is pretty much straight update to mod loader. I will work on balancing with future updates.

It stops being useful later on, as elite guards tend to wield SMG's and assault rifles.

It's a bit relative: if we look at  FTM or Plastech, only elite guards (those with +1 armor) have item_npc_pistol2, everyone else (Siren 1&2, MK 1&2, Barrier guys, grenaders) all have basic pistol, only K&O have smg and rifles (and some drones and enforcers, ok).

How did you solve problem with shields when blue field didn't disappear when last shield broken?

I failed to make it without editing engine.lua >_<

Probably with EV_UNIT_HIT_SHIELD

I set 'shields' and 'shieldsMax' values (responsible for visual effects) with 'neutralize_shield' variable, which is already used for calculating protection (engine.lua, lines 1277-1336). Then I call 'EV_UNIT_REFRESH' to update visuals. I use 'OnTrigger' with 'TRG_UNIT_HIT' to detect a hit ('evData' is a table that holds event info, in this case shooter and victim units). This code is then packed into 'simunits.lua'. Included it in modinit.lua and added ' type="W93_augment_shielding_rig", ' variable to augment.

[Cyberboy2000]

I suppose that works too.

Some names like "High penetration dart" didn't fit well when in agent's inventory while shopping, it goes in three lines then and interfere with selling price.

Also, I'd ask to add +1 base damage to some guns: can't say that it was used often, but sometimes I used Shalem's rifle to destroy turrets, it's not possible with one bullet now. Those gamma-beam guns sounds dangerous, maybe they could be frying turret's electronics with one shot too?

And I think batons still didn't have enough drawback, it's not as OP as without cooldown, when it was possible to just stay near guard's entrance and create pile of corpses, but still.

Noted and I will come up with alternate names.

I think Desert Wind's free reloading between missions and both Gamma guns are pretty strong as is. You can always get Charge Packs for more shots, if spending ammo is more viable for you than hacking turrets.

 

And I think batons still didn't have enough drawback, it's not as OP as without cooldown, when it was possible to just stay near guard's entrance and create pile of corpses, but still.

One use per mission unless using Charge Packs is not enough? Can you suggest further balance changes then? For reference, Spreadsheet.pdf this is a spreadsheet I made for weapons for balancing mod's content. Modding takes me much less time than actually playing, and with my I.T. studies I don't really have much time for play-testing.

[Shirsh]

Oops, sorry, I totally missed that it use charges and not just cooldown >_<

Desert Wind is so... hmmm, I always low on power, even when random gives Internationale and Fusion, not to mention agents who use power for their specials, nevermind.

 

I'd suggest to remove speed skill requirement for disposable cloaks though.

Hey there, first, I wanted to thank you Wodzu (and Nereva) for the great mod! Lots of good stuff in here.

 

I was wondering though, are you aware of some potential bugs? I noticed a few things, like your replacements for "skill-setting" augments not working (I wanted that new Legerdemain chip so hard for Xu or Mist), they just disappear by the end of the mission, whether they're installed or not.

 

Similarly, I have yet to see a single lethal melee weapon, or new charged pack. All that in a single game lasting over 15 ingame days now.

 

Last thing, Anatomy Analysis doesn't work with any item added with the mod.

[wodzu_93]

New update (1.4) is out, bugfixes and 2 new items.

I never had disappearing items, but i did hear of one such event. Default DLC augments won't show up anymore now however.

 

Similarly, I have yet to see a single lethal melee weapon, or new charged pack. All that in a single game lasting over 15 ingame days now.

Fixed. Melee weapons will now appear in shops and charge packs have weight of 4, so they should be present at late game.

 

Last thing, Anatomy Analysis doesn't work with any item added with the mod.

Fixed.

 

Thanks for the feedback, Szajara, and have fun with this mod!

  Fantastic mod! I'm loving all the items and stuff. I had some troubles in some missions with the game getting stuck, but regenerating the level seemed to go nicely. Now that I know this topic exists, I'll try getting the info on those freezes to keep you updated.

Does the game freeze during map generation or during gameplay? If it happens again, please post here the log file from Documents/Klei/InvisibleInc/logs, this will help me greatly in troubleshooting.
