Sorry for the delay, I was out of town for the past few days.
Mod i sfixed for game v0.30.1 now. It should also work on Cosmoteer v0.30.0 if you are still running that version for older mods (just ignore the warning because I didn't explicitly mark it as compatible).

crash on start with new update

Good job on reducing dependency on vanilla code!
There is a bug where it now shows the vanilla turret instead of the one you made. Simply requires a couple of small edits to the turretgraphics referring the png's you provided instead of the vanilla ones.

@syy1125

If you are not sure what to do with the standard and large rotary cannons, I have an idea.

Consider going the route of less pinpoint DPS than the Chaingun but higher damage per shot (HE so damage not pinpoint), ammo used per shot (2x to 3x), and longer range (like 320 to 360 meters). Normal operation would be a constant stream of shots (moderately faster than normal cannons). Overclocked would have the option for 3 or 6 round bursts (at about half the max RPM of the Chaingun), with short gaps between each burst (each shot in a burst adds 0.2 sec delay to the gap).

This would make rotary cannons a kind of hybrid between the chaingun and normal cannons while still being a distinct type. Also, the higher spikes of heat generated in burst mode compared to other weapons could lead to some interesting designs for managing it.

thanks!

Mod version 1.2.0 is out, with my first attempt at making an overclock. Deck rotary cannons can now be overclocked.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with medium and large rotary cannons. This mod was made before chainguns, and now that chainguns exist, rotary cannons have less of a niche. I may phase them out eventually, just keeping the deck rotary cannon as I think the deck variant still offers something unique.

Also rewrote lots of internals to detach it from vanilla code. It should be less prone to mod conflicts now.
If you are still getting crashes, let me know what other mods you have enabled so I can track down where the crash is coming from.

Interesting, thanks for the report. I'll check for mod compatibility there and see if I can get it fixed for the next update.

I don't know if this is the reason that some people have been reporting crashes, but it seems this mod crashes on launch when run in conjunction with the "AI Powered Ships" mod.

@TAKA currently not possible.

As far as I can tell, everything works on meltdown. Double check that your mod is up to date, which is mod v1.1.9.
And I'll make the edits to make this mod's code better, now that my major mods aren't crashing in meltdown anymore.

@syy1125 your version still crashes on load due to, but not limited to, the commandconsumer for the deck cannon.
I kinda rewrote the way your part rules file works to get everything working. You basically tell the file to get most of its stuff in the vanilla deckcannonpart rules file, with alterations made to what you need. I rewrote the file by putting everything of the necessary deckcannon lines, without the meltdown alterations, into it.

Is it possible not to block the shells of other weapons?

YES

@AnonaCraffter that's not something that meltdown itself broke. Could be an issue with an incompatible mod. Did you have other mods enabled?

Oops, must've pushed the files from right before I bumped the compatible game version.
As far as I can tell mod still works fine, for now just ignore the warning when you enable it.

and it is here is why
Reference "~/Part/Components/PartCrew/Crew" at node "<C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\799600\2920508482\parts\rotary_cannon_med\rotary_cannon_med.rules>/Part/Stats/CrewRequired" could not be resolved.

still says incompatible

No, they do not function as point defense. These rotary cannons are balanced to be similar to vanilla cannons.

Are these able to function as additional point defense as well? similar to the energy auto cannon turret?

Awesome!

Yeah go for it

Is it okay if I use your rotary cannon as a base for my mod's ballistic weapons?

@Cantus Tested and confirmed that this mod does work with Advanced Ammo Storage & Supply.

Advanced Ammo Storage & Supply do your mods work with this one

描述

增加了旋转加农炮，它们发射的时间越长，射速就会增加。


功能

标准旋转加农炮：标准加农炮的旋转版本。重新装填时间为2s-0.4s，取决于旋转速度（香草标准加农炮的重新装填时间是0.75s）。

大型旋转加农炮：大型加农炮的旋转版本。根据旋转速度的不同，重新加载时间为4s-0.5s（香草大加农炮的重新加载时间是1.2s）。

甲板旋转加农炮：甲板加农炮的旋转版本。发射标准子弹（每发750点伤害），重新装填时间为0.667s-0.067s，具体取决于旋转速度（香草甲板加农炮每发子弹有7500点伤害，平均每1.25秒发射一颗子弹）。如果加农炮弹药耗尽，它会堵塞15秒，无法开火。

Hello friend, there is a misspelling of the word "rounds" in the description of the 'Standard Rotary Cannon'. You seem to have written "rouds". It appears in game when you mouse over the weapon and read the text.

Checked out that mod. I can confirm they aren't compatible right now. I will make it stop crashing when both mods are enabled, but deck rotary cannon won't benefit from the changes made by better deck cannons.

Caused by this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2926388943
It seems

Seems to be fine now. Probably just an incompatible mod

If you can describe how to reproduce the crash, that will help to. So far I haven't been able to find more causes for crash.

What was the crash message?

Causes crash on latest version

@Nuclear Pasta you can change Part/Components/Turret/FireInterval to adjust the firerate of each cannon.
If you want to get into modding firerates, I would recommend examining the vanilla cannons, the example mod, and if necessary, asking for help in Cosmoteer's official discord.

Mod seems to work fine on 0.23 now. Let me know if there are any more issues.

update pls

hey, what variable would you change to increase the firerate?

@Thunder1 are you using crew construction preview?
As far as I'm aware the mod works fine on 0.22. Update 0.23 with its crew construction is expected to break a lot of mods. I'm still figuring out how much 0.23 breaks, and it might take a few weeks as I'm busy with personal life right now.

The mod crashes the game

@joemama1512 Most likely a mod incompatibility. You can try asking for help on the Cosmoteer discord.

Your other mods work fine, btw. No problems.

I cant seem to get this mod to load. Can other mods cause conficts that would appear as a rules.whatever violation during load and is there a way to figure out which mod is the issue?

more daka!

syy happy to see youve updated the deckgun again! ill be testing it out soon.

Die

pls add rotary rail cannon

@syy1125 ALSO A FUN BLOODY FACT: So uh. I ran the deck rotary cannon. Im still on the version that has a chance to jam, shoved it on a custom built deck cannon ship that's honestly not the best. The ones that had it's deck guns replaced with rotary versions STILL WON. Smells like that other guy just has extreme skill issue syndrum but im still happy you're revamping the jamming mechanic. Now it feels like you're only punished for not being able to feed it, AND your punishment isn't really even a punishment. It's like a time to queue it instead.

@syy1125 dont forget to edit the description. Also i will (i will admit that jamming isssues had been the reason why i havent used the bloody thing at all yet)

Jamming rework is done. So far the deck rotary cannon seems ok in terms of balance, might even be a bit too powerful. Feedback is appreciated.

@Baka yellow haha thanks. Enjoy your bullet hose ;)
(and I suppose I did making jamming chance 0%, since it's deterministic now. Hmm :thinking:)

I plan to rework the jamming mechanic. When I was fiddling with the numbers and testing designs, I found that jamming is an interesting mechanic, but it's something you can't control. This makes jamming feel bad.

I'm working on a change that makes the cannon jam when it runs out of ammo. This makes jamming something you can control and design around, which IMO makes it a better game mechanic. And in theory it will be possible to make a cannon that never jams, for those that really want a never-ending bullet hose.

(as a bonus, I now get to blame you for making a bad ship design when you complain about your rotary deck cannon jamming)

Expect an update in the next few days.

pls make a new mod
