Description
release: 30/10/19 - Used latest static mesh models to correct shield visual in third party view.

ModId: 919022331

Description
This mod is designed to help avoid insta-death from eels and cnidaria! It includes eight items; a modified scuba tank a modified riot shield and variant sea creature saddles all of which add a thin metal film to short out the electrocution attacks of these evil creatures!

Whilst equiped with one or other of these items the effect of the attacks from the electified dinos should be reduced sufficiently to give you a chance to fight back.The shield or Scuba tank protect you. To protect the creature you are riding use one of the Electro-Protection saddles. These are available for Beelze, Sarco, Ichty, Megaladon, Baryonyx, Carbonemys, Tusoteuthis, Plesio and Mosa (but not yet platform variants).

Usage

Engrams are learnt for one point each, and rely on learning the original item they are derived from.

Each item is made in your inventory using an instance of the original item and some metal ingots for the conductive film.

Equiping both personal protection items (shield and scuba) will not increase the effect and unequiping either will remove the effect even if the other item is still present! Reequip one item to re-instate the effect.

Notes

Spawn item codes:

See discussion topic

Under consideration
  • [May remove one or other of the personal protection items. My preference at the moment is to include only the modified scuba.
  • May make it so you have to modify and wear both a tank and leggings for the effect to be added.

Is there a reason for the Dunkleosteus not having a shock prevention saddle?

The list in the spawn codes is complete.

Do we only get primitive versions of the saddles?

Suggestion: instead of modifying gear items directly, use a "skin" that attaches to them to introduce the effect. That way the effect can potentially also be app[lied to modded gear, whereas currently a player would have to choose between yours and the features of a mod that also modifies the same gear. As a skin it would still conflict with other skin-based mods and preclude simultaneous use, but you'd likely reduce the conflicts and improve choice quite a bit.

Pushing a new version which uses latest game mesh models, for the shield, to correct visuals in third party view.

My pc is a real slug, testing would be a pain. I'm not really that super bothered by it, just figured i would point it out. The black nonsense only happens sometimes, depends where i am and what angle looking at it etc. It's usually not that bad either.

K, Got someone else to join, I do get the offset, triangular, area in the reflection. But I don't get the black strangeness in your screen shot. The default shield seems to draw double from some angles. I think this may have been something added since I last built. Best I can do is try a rebuild with the latest SDK. Can you try the standalone game with only this mod, see what you get? To be honest I was thinking of dropping the shield from the mod, the saddles and scuba tank are the more useful elements. But I'll give it a go hopefully in the next few days.
