Unlocked Rotation For Some Blocks

Description
Certain blocks have limited options, regarding orientation, when placing them. For example, basic floor block has only one axis(Y) in which you can rotate it. This mod allows you to rotate some blocks as you want them, in all axis, which can give you more creative freedome when building.

I've been using this mod on my own for a long time and now I decided to share it. I find it facination how you can use old vanilla blocks in a new way just by having this mod.

List of blocks with Unlocked Rotation:

What I like about this mod is that you can use it without enabling it as a mod in any game or any server. You can take files inside this mod and replace default SBC files in your game folder. Thats how I was using this mod before. This is the location of the mod files after you download them: Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\333950\1997959796 Just copy Data folder from the mod, and paste it here: Steam\steamapps\common\MedievalEngineers\Content , then click "replace all".

If you have some suggestions, regarding blocks you want me to add to this mod, pls tell me.

I finally updated this mod, and added new blocks. Now it properly uses Merge="Append" function, instead of the thing i was using.

Is it possible to unlock compound placement which is not possible by default in addition to unlocked rotation?

Is it at all possible to make the blocks fully compoundable as well? (would like rotated stone walls with windows / arrowslit as murder holes, but they don't compound with arches or windows/arrowslits)
I tried adding

<CompoundTemplates>
<Template>Universal</Template>
</CompoundTemplates>

to no effect

Yeaaaaaaaaay!!
Shilica  [author] Apr 4, 2024 @ 2:42am 
AAAAAAAnd its updated!

@Hardened_Mass Hi. Yes, I will. But first I need to fix it, so its applied properly(as Shad suggested). After that I'll add more blocks.

@Shilica it's been a few months since your last post.... do you feel like modding again? Could you please continue to add to this mod?
KriegerSayas Mar 15, 2024 @ 1:16pm 
Could you add rotation for the large slope?
Shilica  [author] Sep 19, 2023 @ 1:36pm 
@shad ty for the tip. nice to see you still play this game. sadly i havent touched it in months, and dont feel like doing modding at the moment.
shad Sep 17, 2023 @ 8:09am 
Basically, the only thing you're gonna need for each block you want to unlock rotation for is this:

<Definition xsi:type="MyObjectBuilder_BuildableBlockDefinition" Merge="Append">
<Id Type="Block" Subtype="WallStone" />
<Rotation>All</Rotation>
</Definition>
shad Sep 17, 2023 @ 8:06am 
If this mod is still maintained, I would like to ask to use the Merge="Append" flag for each definition and only change the required entries, instad of copy and replace the whole set of definitions. The way it is done now will interfere with other mods and basically overwrite all changes to vanilla blocks or those that are already touched by other mods, unless you figure out a proper mod loading order.
For details, please ask away in one of the many discord servers.
