DEP Armor Block Collection 1.26

Block Suggestions
I am taking requests for New Blocks. If you'd like to request a new block be added, let me know here and try and be as descriptive as possible. Links to images really help. Requesting a block doesn't mean it WILL be added. If I approve a block to be added, it doesn't mean it will be added on the very next update. I'm trying to complete most in sets to keep somewhat organized early and having less a mess to work through later.

I would also like to suggest some blocks :
- Plates for the vanilla half slope and half slope inverted, as well as for vanilla round blocks and the ones you have made.
- An inverted version of the corner split block made by Enenra, only 2 blocks and would allow some pretty cool shapes when combined
Pic attached, made using an very old armor mod that doesn't have much texture support, Red is AQD armor, blue is vanilla, hexagon is old mod

- And then similarly with a 2x2 slope :

as far as the suggestions go, the plates might take a bit if i get to them. they'll require alot of rendering and time coding since it would be quite an extensive collection. i'm not against it, just will take some time before i get to them. the other suggestions i'm game for as it's just a few blocks i can add in with the next set that'll get released. i will however, respect enenra, and ask him if he plans on those blocks before i do them. thanks again for the support

Ahoi deepspace :p2cube:
I'm kind of losing track with all these amazing updates from you. Would you mind having a look at this existing mod named 'Armour Curve' https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2641641831 ?

Its author appears to have given up on the mod and even wanted to hand it over to me, but I'm not a modder..

Can you do 2x1 and 3x1 concave curves in split 1x1 blocks (base / middle / tip)?
Convex curve counterparts I myself don't have a need for, but others might enjoy those too :)

Regarding Aryemis comment:
> Plates for the vanilla half slope and half slope inverted, as well as for vanilla round blocks and the ones you have made. ...

Those are already in the base game under 'armor panels', if I'm not mistaken.

ya, i don't see any reason i couldn't add something like that to the rounded blocks i already have. would be nice to expand that category abit. can't really give a timeframe as i'm working on some ramp stuff atm. lol. all these blocks are gonna make me have to rethink how i order stuff in the g-menu. i already kinda claimed a whole line. lol

@deepsace
you already have a custom group and propper block variants. I don't think you need to worry about blockcount in G-menu as long as those are in place :)

> can't really give a timeframe

Quality > Quantity. Don't burn yourself out on this stuff :D

i mostly said that cuz i'm doing some more corner squares and inverts right now. then another request for a block(s) i still haven't made up a name for yet. lol. then i wanna re-render all the blocks before the collection gets too big. i wanna resize the collision meshes so they fit inside the mesh rather than wrapping around. i used a copy of the blocks mesh for the collision and it for some reason rendered them all slightly larger. that's gonna be a task in itself. not sure if that was a limitation on Keens end or SEUT, but simply scaling them seems to work well. at least as well as rendering 130+ models over again can be. while i'm doing that there are a few blocks i'd like change some UV's, mount points, and airtight issues. i'm hoping by then i've decided if to use custom materials or not. cuz i'd have to re-render them all again for that if i don't do it then. luckily, i enjoy this kinda thing. so it'll take awhile to burn out from it.

"Armor slabs" full blocks of light and heavy armor that can come in for exsample 1x2x1 2x2x1 3x3x1 4x4x1 like
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2118252855&searchtext=Armor+Slab has but just vanilla blocks instead

@NightWing
is something wrong with that mod?
deepspace  [developer] Apr 24, 2022 @ 8:15pm 
oh, so pretty much that mod but in half slabs?
NightWing Apr 25, 2022 @ 2:18pm 
Yes half slabs would be nice.
I'm pretty sure that the mod had some issues with pressurization in multiplayer as well as collisions. Plus the high-tech blocks I do not necessarily want but I do not know how to disable them.
deepspace  [developer] Apr 25, 2022 @ 3:05pm 
why is it that people use blocks like that? just trying to get a understanding of where to fit them in if i add them. only thing i can think of is block counts
NightWing Apr 25, 2022 @ 6:37pm 
big hangars/runways mainly ease of not needing to place hundreds of blocks to get an large area placed. It also might lower lag a little because of lower amounts of physics for an server to calculate.
deepspace  [developer] Apr 27, 2022 @ 4:04pm 
i'll see about adding them into the collection then. might not be for a bit. there is a abandoned mod i'm gonna add into the collection. before that though, i wanna go through all the blocks and tighten up the collisions.
Egglanoir Apr 30, 2022 @ 3:45pm 
How about half slab 3 and 4 block long Ramps, and perhaps their various transitionals?
deepspace  [developer] Apr 30, 2022 @ 3:52pm 
@Egglanoir
that would be an extensive size set. if done, it couldn't be for awhile as there are 2 sets and a few other requests yet to do.
sevya Apr 30, 2022 @ 6:55pm 
I would love to have the Beveled Out Corner and the Beveled Out Full Transition in 1x2x1, and even 1x3x1 if you get the chance. This is a great mod, and I really appreciate the work you put into it.
