yup it's the incoming update
and i understand

I'm not sure what meltdown preview is.
New incoming update? I'll most likely get to it once it gets released. Right now mod works well with actual stable version.

as in will the mod work with meltdown preview
or is that impossible?

What do you mean?

will you update it to meltdown preview?

Wow, what a nice way to remove Turret Collider for mod turret, no need active code :)))))))))

Done!

Well, never a dull moment o_o. Thank you for asking, much appreciated.

I'll try to look into turret colliders this weekend :)

@sir EVANs is anything ok

All of them is possible ?

From which turret?

Hello, dev is there any way to remove the turret Collider??

Some good news, thanks for letting me know! :)

alright, sorry but yestarday we didnt manage to get some free time togheter to try out if it works, but im going to say, that it now works, thank you for fixing it, love your work!

oh i get ya, as a modder my self for other games, i feel ya, you do a small update that fixes some bugs, boom everything broke without you touching anything, so you waste hours to figure out why its not working to then figure out you missed something really stupid, that happen to me so many times.

Thanks guys! ^^,

I'm trying to keep it up despite everything that is going on right now, it's just sometimes stuff stops working for mysterious reasons :(

will try as soon my other friend comes back from work, will let you know if it woks, sorry for bothering so much, its just we love this mod and we dont want to play without it.

try now? :)

well the thing is, its not only saves for me, but also like getting in a lobby togheter, that keep saying that its incompatible.

This update changes so very little :/
I assume you guys have a savegame for your game?

If so, try the following:
- unsub from mod, both of you
- launch the game and load the save
- build whatever, like a piece of armor
- save and quit
- download the mod again and load the save.

Perhaps some data got stored in savegame that causes compatibility issues. Purging mod from save game should remove this data. Sure your ship will turn into swiss cheese, but this is something easily fixable after mod is enabled again.

Please let me know if this helped.

and before you ask yes we did try unsub and deleting and everything else, it just doesnt let use play togheter, and says its incompatible

hey letting you know that the update made it impossible to play with my friends, it keeps saying incompatible even tho well all have the same mods

I will try.

strange that.
Have you both tried to unsubscribe to the mod, delete it from steamapps and re-download?

Sometimes steam updates mods incorectly :/

I did some testing. We turned the mod off and our games worked again. The previous games were incompatible, but it would not bring up a mod list or tell what mod was missing.

I might be dumb, but i think it is broke for multiplayer.

Thank you for a reminder, please let me know if there will be any further problems!

I'm here, sorry!
Uploading the fix in a minute :)

Hey, it's already April 20th – time to upload the fix when you get a chance!
Just a friendly reminder since we're past the 2-day timeframe we mentioned earlier.
嗨，今天已经是4月20号了，有空的话该上传修复补丁啦！
因为已经过了之前说的两天期限，所以提醒你一下。

Ok. I'm trying to delete these two pieces of code. (I haven't downloaded and used Notepad++ yet ●u●
好的，正在尝试去删除这两段代码（还没下载使用过Notepad++ ●u●
No problem. I'll remind you again. (April 20, 2025.
没问题，我会再来提醒你的（2025/4/20

There is a chance that older version of this mod made it's way back onto steam with last update.
I had a hdd crash after changing laptops, so I may have messed up some things.

Can you ping me in 2 days? I'll upload a fix.
In the meantime if you go to turret_flak_cannon_large.rules file - open with notepad++ - and remove two blocks:
** BlockedTravelCellDirections
** BlockedTravelCells
You will be free of this crash. I've reported it to Walt long ago as this is game issue, but they didn't seem to put a very high priority on it :/

Add it in discussion under this mod, I'll take a look.

The main error word is:

Deserialization from source "<D:\PROGS\Steam\steamapps\common\Cosmoteer\Data\cosmoteer.rules>" failed.

What should i do to fix it Please guide me

Can i upload somewhere my error log file ?

I write you because i got error window

It works, it's just versioning message. Game is still early in development, so many mod makers do not update numbers if mod works :)

Please make the mod for 0.21 version of the game

So, it seems like it works. I shot at my own ship to test it, but it only works against enemy ships, so I assumed it didn't. Sorry for the inconvenience. :)

It should. Possibly there is some copy-paste from vanilla flak error.
I'm starting my very long holiday leave in a week, so I guess I better look into it soon :)

This is a really great mod, thanks for making it :)
I do have one problem though. The Flak Turret deals no damage to ship parts. Do you know why?

A railgun turret would be funny c:

Wow, quite a story! Well you did a good job with paint.net splicing together assets to make a good turret. Fits right in and I wasnt looking forward to trying to do that myself... :-)

Sure thing, man :) I usually use in-game assets only and release these as "free to use" because I don't want to be involved in Meph case in any way.

FYI: Meph was the guy who created Masterwork Dwarf Fortress modpack and launcher. At a time his version was the only playable version of the game out there. Buuuut... he used somebodys graphics w/o permission. He did removed it, after receiving complain, buuut... many years later he was offered to work on graphics for Steam release of DF. And complain resurfaced, even tho it was years old, and Meph lost his job.

I'm an ex game-dev, and my adventure with AAA ended almost ten years ago. I don't want anyone to potentially loose their chance at becoming successful in the field because of some paint.net graphics I did as a creative outlet. Learning modding is a good way of learning about game dev, that's how I started anyway. And boy, oh boy, in the current state of gamedev, we could use some good independent studios... :)

Hey, thanks for being cool about using your assets! Your turrets look really nice and I stole them for my latest fighter plasma turret which does damage over time. (and crashes due to bug...)
But it looks cool and I have you to thank.

很高兴你能够找到问题所在，我想那将这炮塔的上半部分路径删除，应该是一个很好的选择。
毕竟这一炮塔需要正前对敌，而正前方即使铺设了走廊，仍然会被快速摧毁将路径中断触发崩溃。
