Halo UNSC Ship Weapons (WeaponCore)

Description
This is my first-time modding Space Engineers and trying to model in general. I plan on updating this as my skills improve so this is WIP for that alone, but I also plan on expanding this to add some more weapons from the UNSC arsenal.

Please don't ask for weapons in the comment section, I have a discussion for it.

Coilguns
Naval Autocannons
Colloquially known as a naval coilgun and a mini-MAC, is a coilgun turret mount which is installed on UNSC warships.
  • Mark 15 Breakwater
  • Mark 40 Spitfire
  • 11A2R1
  • M66 Sentry

Point-Defense Guns
The point-defense gun fills a role similar to the CIWS. They are meant to intercept smaller threats like Type-31 Seraph fighters or boarding craft, and disrupt incoming plasma weaponry, to reduce the damage inflicted to a warship's superstructure.
Note: Point-Defense Guns can only target projectiles fired from weapons using WeaponCore.
  • M910 Rampart
  • M870 Rampart

Machine-Linked Autocannons
The machine-linked autocannon (MLA) is a classification of coilgun mounted as turrets on various space fighters in service with the UNSC.
  • M1024 ASW/AC 30mm

Missiles
Archer missiles
The Archer missile is a ship-to-ship missile used by the UNSC Navy. Warships usually carry large numbers of Archer missiles to complement their Magnetic Accelerator Cannons.
  • M58 Archer Missile Pods
  • M42 Archer Missile Pods

Nuclear Missiles
Nuclear weapons are commonplace in the UNSC arsenal and in select civilian uses. The UNSC uses nuclear weapons to great effect in space warfare, increasing their effectiveness with special payloads enhanced for vacuum use.
  • Shiva-class

MACs
The Magnetic Accelerator Cannon is a weapon system employed by the UNSC on its warships and orbital defense platforms. Essentially large coilguns, MACs serve as the primary armament of UNSC Navy warships and weapon platforms.
  • Mark II, Light Coil - 56A2D4 MAC
  • Mark IV, Heavy Coil - 94B1E6 MAC
  • Mark IX, Heavy Coil - 45J3D3 MAC
  • CR-03B Series 8 MAC

Mines
Space mines are explosives built by the UNSC for use in deep-space combat. These mines carry an explosive payload and have propellant drives that allow them to track specific targets or maintain a pre-defined coordinate location in space.
  • CBU-R68 Moray System




Balancing and Features

Damage, ballistic behavior, power cost, material cost, etc. could all use tweaking and I would very much appreciate feedback on it.

I am considering using more of WeaponCore's features and mechanics so I'm open to suggestions.

Better Models, Improved/Custom Textures, Decals, Particles and Sound

This is literally my first attempt at 3D modeling and modding Space Engineers. As my skill improves, I will update the models. This does mean bounding boxes can change so be prepared for somethings to break at some point, I'll try to keep changes like that to a minimum.

Discussion talking about pending model updates.

I'm not the best with the particle system so if there is someone out there who is willing to make better ones for my guns, I would be very appreciative.

This mod would not be possible if not for the people behind WeaponCore, excellent job for that. I need to thank DarkStar directly, for fixing bugs with WeaponCore that was effecting some of the weapons in the pack, he also added behavior changes to some weapons that I used. I also want to thank various WeaponCore modders aswell, pilfit and derekt for helping me figure out how to make the Breakwater a multi-turret. Kreeg for his help getting me to understand particle optimization. Mexpex for having particle effects I was able to reference. Nukeguard and AutoMcD for having guides I could follow. Enenra for making SEUT for which I wouldn't even have attempted to model if not for it.

Girax Xernius was kind enough to upgrade the audio I use for the ramparts, so I'd like to thank him as well.

I also need to thank Bungie, 343, and Microsoft for Halo and the sound assets used in the mod.

Finally, thanks to Razortron for the UNSC Weapon Pack that inspired this one, and MrEvan312 for making my thumbnail and allowing me to view his models for inspiration and usage. He's also made some nice images to showcase the mod and helped me troubleshoot some bugs.




WeaponCore Instructions
If you are new to WeaponCore and need some help, check out the steam guide for it. There is also a video guide made by ConstyC.




I would ask that you do not re-upload this as I am actively working on it and if you have feedback about it I’d rather like to hear it than you changing it.

Update:
I've revoked the right to edit my mod unless you already had my permission directly already, anyone who has can continue to use the edited version as long as you keep it unlisted and link back to this page. Everyone else needs to remove the edited versions.

Xbox Version
This mod uses far too many of WeaponCore's features to make a non-scripted version. More than half the weapons would need to be scraped and the others would need to be reworked. So until Keen adds support for script based mods on Xbox, this will not be ported.

how do ya get the archers to fire?

@Orbitz
weapons becoming sorters is usually caused by either file corruption or a mod conflict.
mos wc based weapons are based on sorters and thus se is defaulting to sorter behaviour if it doesnt find anything telling it otherwise.
Orbitz Jul 22 @ 12:36pm 
Is the mod broken at the moment? The MAC seems to have turned into a conveyor sorter, only mods on with testing were this one and WC

Does the Deck Gun rotate or is it fixed in the direction that its built?

ah ok

I'd rather not have two versions of the same mod going around that need to be maintained separately, especially since one wouldn't even be maintained by me. If/when I get enough time to work on this again, you will have to keep up with my changes (IF those are even possible on the other framework). If I ever abandon this mod, then sure, but right now, I consider this on hiatus, but it is still a WIP project of mine.

TLDR: For now, no, but if I abandon the mod, then sure.

can have permission to do it ?

Sorry, I have no interest in dedicating time to learning another framework to port this mod over. If a day comes when WeaponCore is dethroned, then maybe.
