support drops (now with support for npcs to use addon)

Description
introduction


Do you want a mod that makes you feel as powerful as a helldiver or perhaps do you want something that works to a level of perfected NPC spawning with a whole tone of customisable features or maybe you just want to see pretty thing fall from sky and go boom. if so get this addon as it will provide you with all that and more.


how to use


To use this addon with default setting press the 9 key and then select what you want to drop the same way you would select a weapon (you can also still select a preset via the scroll wheel) and you can use middle click to change the mix of Npcs. Additionally, you can set the open menu and tweak buttons by going to Utilities > support drop > hud settings and it should be the first buttons at the top of binding settings.

Hold space to launch evac/escape/driveable head crab pod and jump out early for it to go boom.

go to NPCs in the top bar menu to enable NPC useage

how to use advance


Go to Utilities > support drop > support drop and then to change the colors of the beams and stuff you can go to style setting and each setting is broken down into groups with these groups being for the different NPC and utility types however apart from color the trail setting are the same across all types and the style settings are NOT affected by the presets that come with this mod.

Use the "main and customized drop settings" button to access the settings for changing the type of content that gets dropped and you can also change how long it will take to begin arrival and also how long it takes to end as well as the spacing between different NPC and utility types also to select what NPCs are spawned precisely go to the drop-down box at the bottom and click on the category you want to spawn NPCs from then click on the NPC you want to spawn and click the blue button that well appear to set how many of those NPC will spawn However, this may be limited to certain situations.

The checkbox that will appear once you click on the "main and customized drop settings" button is also used to set if the content being dropped is undoable or not.

go to Utilities > support drop > Npc usage to change when and how NPCs can use this addon but these setting can not be stored locally per player so you have to be an admin to access them


notes


  • use sudr_WheelDPI to change the speed at which you can scroll though the presets
  • Skyboxes should not be an issue as it has many protocols in place to avoid colliding with them.
  • Pods may pass through the ground if summoned to a point that has funny displacements (displacements with gaps or fin surfaces poking through them).
  • The way you see you beams is the way everyone else will see them as well.
  • Textures MAY be buggy on Linux if thet are please report what texture bugged.
  • Use the list SUDR_BEAMMAT to add you own custom beam type textures.
  • Beam type textures should have a black background and a foreground consisting of the color 150, 150, 150
  • Skyboxes will be somewhat of an issue if A the back of the skybox is a dev texture and B the skybox has a thickness greater than 128 cm
  • use SPACE/jump to launch evac/escape pods

What map is that

also you should maybe bother them about this since there replacement most likely has a fault

@Dr Coomer there is no abnormality in the code for creating explosions within this addon but I will try setting the magnitude and radius in different ways and see if that helps you but if it dosen't there is not much else I can do apart from recommend that you don't get addons that replace things because of issues like this

the advanced explosion replacer just breaks the explosions of this addon, it does not kill npc until i turn the replacer off

@Specneo if you jump out of them before they land they will explode

or more like homing missiles.

Weaponized Escape Pods. Like making them function like missiles.

@Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus, that error occurs because of a misconfiguration with their addon, but I can make it go invisible other than that, I assume you can't change their weapons because the NPC either doesn't support it or because of another misconfiguration and theres not much I can do about that

Does this addon work with ZBase/ANP NPCs? I tried spawning Sparbine but I cannot modify the NPC Weapons they spawn with. Not to mention this error:
