Issue confimed, I will fix as soon as I have time

This doesn't seem to be working right anymore. Tested the ballistic shield against an interior turret and while it looks like I get the initial defense bonus the ballistic plugins don't seem to do anything. The HUD element shows that it's increased my defense to nearly 100%, but I still take ~1/2 damage like without the plugins. The visible shield effect also doesn't seem to be triggering at all and the shield's HP only decreases by 1/250 by the time I've died. Tested in a survival world without any other mods.

Ok SK, that paste transparent materials file will work now dynamically. https://pastebin.com/Wf7u57sw here is the template for any other inventory items.

You are of course welcome to the discord for AiEnabled to discuss this more real time if you like.
Deapri 20 Mar, 2024 @ 8:36pm 
here SK this is what is needed to align each item. https://pastebin.com/eP3HBg7R

I suggested subID matching but we'll see what he does, if the materials are in the shields now, it'll be on his side to get it sorted, thanks for doing that.
Deapri 20 Mar, 2024 @ 7:23pm 
Working on that, jTurp said he needs to adjust the script to also recognize, going to see if it can be made a little more dynamic.
SK  [author] 20 Mar, 2024 @ 5:19pm 
What does this changes? I applied it and nothing looked changed to me (and the icon in bot inventory is still the default cube icon)
