does this mod work for 1.5

Does this mod work for 1.0?

Can this be fixed by the mending mod?

Skullywag - I've sent you a friend request and would like to know if I can take over this mod? It seems you've stopped working on it and I've actually updated/fixed it for B18 for my personal use. Do I have your permission to upload it to the workshop? Credit will of course be given.

I just tried out the github version of this mod.
It's quite broken as when I force one of my colonists to wear the shield, some of the pawn specific buttons go missing and I can't select anything or get my currently selected, shield bearing, drafted colonist to do anything.

also - none of those 'simpler lightweight alternatives' include the latest C# 7 code - so they are essentially worthless for working on anything but small, extremely limited projects.

technically @Thundercraft, you need a decompiler, not a compiler to "Open DLL's" (like ILSpy)
to open the -source files- and build your own, you'd want an IDE
and rimworld uses C# .net 3.5 packages, as opposed to just C++.

Skullywag has merged my fixes on his github at least, so you can get them there

https://github.com/Skullywag/PersonalShieldMKII

please update this sometime soon :'(

@ ПΛПО Prince Dragoon
You need a Visual C++ compiler for that. But it's complicated. For details, the RimWorld .dll-mod tutorial [ludeon.com] helps. (Though, you may want to read my post here [ludeon.com] about issues with using MS Visual Studio. Just so you know, there are simpler, lightweight alternatives.

Skullywag how do you open dll files?

seems dead .. not even his github shows an update to A17 .. sadly .. stuff wich should in the vanilla game is now dying too .. next great mod

Please uptade it for when A17 comes, I really like the concept idea.

why not update on steamworkshop for the mod

it may be that the texture is broken

thank you for updating skully, this is one of my favourite mods.

help
it says "not enough mats" when repairing the shield, even though have all the material,,

does this mod still work cant find the personal shield in game once i downloaded the mod

Oh, sorry, I didn't notice he only responded to one before. Well, thank you then. :) This is the only version of shooting enabled shields that exists outside of bigger modpacks.

It was my update, thats my github. There was only ever 1 shield.

@kouyou: Thank you for posting your update. A shame that it is only one shield type, but now we have something to work with.

Will you update to A16? Or are you working on it?

A16ver https://github.com/Skullywag/PersonalShieldMKII

pls can you update to A16?

Sure would be nice to use this with A16...

I really liked this mod... Any chance of an A16 version?

Yep thats an A15 change that needs to happen. Stay patient.

Hey such a sick mod! I think i found a bug but probs just needs update or whatever, thought id post this just incase it helps.. When there is an explosion near someone with shield active, game spaz's out (pauses, and log comes up) and says this-
System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'RimWorld.MoteThrower' from assembly'PersonalShieldMKII'.
at PersonalShieldMKII.Apparel PersonalShieldMKII.CheckPreAbsorbDamage (DamageInfo dinfo) [0x00000] in <filename unknown> :0

Hay everyone just checked. Mod still works if u turn it on. No problems after 6 hours & 11 raids later.

yes, when i find time.

is this gonna be updated to A15?

I did get a trader with 3 poor quality mkII shields. But that's out of several years worth of traders.
I have an issue where they can never be repaired at the vanilla bench despite having ample materials and a very skilled colonist. They can be mended with the mending mod though.
I used "Prepare Carefully" to spawn with one for each starting colonist and I love em.

load it closer to last may help.

I've had three exotic goods traders, but it's possible that one of my other mods messes with exotic goods traders. Would shifting this mod higher/lower in the load order help if that were the case? Instinct says higher would be better, but my intuition has been wrong about the load order several times.

You should see them rarely on exotic traders at least. Can anyone confirm they have gotten them in their game and that this is just bad luck (this game is heavy RNG remember)

So, I'm on ~7th year of a game, and I've literally never seen one of these in a trader or on a raider. How common are these supposed to be?

works great now thanks! your mods are the best! i use them all ^^

thank you

Fix has been uploaded, if you havent updated in a while please do so. Users are on the forums are stating this is working fine now.

Поправьте мод, когда активируется щит как будто нету текстуры, то есть вокруг колониста фиолетовая фигня появляется
Correct mod when activated the shield as if there is no texture, that is around colonist purple garbage appears

Ok i caugh the issue, just uploaded a fix.

Can anyone with the purple box issue get me some logs to look at (output.log in your rimworld/rimworldwin_data folder. Im having trouble reproducing the issue.

Yeah I'm having the same exact problem. After a few days my colonists just get engulfed into this purple box whenever the shields activate. I'm sure Skullywag will get to it eventually though.

vvvvv

anyone else having the purple box problem? i tried reinstalling the game and only having this mod active and its still purple

Crafting them would be OP as all hell. Repairing them once you have them not so much. Im following vanilla conventions in not being able to craft shields, but the fact that they take quite a bit of punishment I decided to allow them to be repairable. Wouldnt take a lot for someone to add a small mod with a recipe to allow them to be craftable. Its like 2 minutes work.

i'm only able to repair mkii shield at the station but i'm not able to craft it.

Are the shields craftable or do I have to rely on RNG ships to get them?

it may well of broken in the latest release havent looked at it yet, ill get to it.

did the latest uppdate break it? get this broken purple block spinning when shields activate

Somthing is wrong when i use the shield then it is a big pink block
