[PRE-0.7 only] Additionnal Blocks Mod

Description
This mod currently adds up to 93 blocks and variants of blocks to complete the needs of builders, made with 77 custom models. It contains mainly stone blocks to go with the vanilla ones that help constructing fortifications.

What this mod adds:
-44 arrowslits variants (straight, diagonal, round and round-large; wall, battlement and advanced battlement; normal and most inverted)
-10 diagonal blocks: 6 stone walls (full, window, shutters, entrance, door & arch), 1 wood floor, 1 wood railing, 2 stone stairs
-13 pillars (wall and battlement heights with mirrored parts)
-10 advanced diagonal battlements (4 intersections to fill the gap between straight and diagonal, and 6 variants of the vanilla diagonal to give more possibilities)
-8 diagonal machicolations
-4 battlements & platforms ends
-4 murder holes blocks

What this mod plans to add:
-round-large advanced arrowslits
-full blocks, walls & battlements intersections to fill the gaps with round-large towers
-battlement roofs (tiles and wood): small roofs that will be placed on top of all existing and modded battlements
-a kit to do a double thickness wall on round and round-large walls to get closer to real-world wall thickness, and new machicolations with bigger holes that fit with a wall compounded with them so that they don’t extend 1m50 from the wall, which is absurd
-machicolated platforms: remodeled platforms with actual holes to fire at ennemies below - vanilla did it before
-a lot of vanilla blocks variants and other ideas (bigger arches and slopes, stone cupolas, etc)
-Request from the community that I may do one day: a set of corbels (for blocks, walls, etc), more archways, more and steeper slopes and variants to serve as glacis, arrowslit at the center of 2 blocks, arrowslit in full block

Issues you might encounter:
-The diagonal stairs are difficult to climb, that’s a collision issue (I don’t know what shapes the devs used for the vanilla stairs).
-If you have problems while placing a block (when it should be possible but you can’t), you may tell me, I should be able to correct it.
-All present blocks are lacking a destruction model (the current tool for it is broken) and blueprints and some of the construction models they have are unconsistent with the shape of the finished object.
-The Pillar-shaped blocks can compound with everything, this is a tradeoff until a fix is found to make them more useful while designing buildings.
-There are no LODs, which can induce larger fps drops than for the vanilla blocks when too many are in use.

If you want any help about modding ask in the discussion, I will answer them if I can.

It's only the modders (god bless'em) that are keeping this game breathing. Not fully alive - but still breathing.

This mod never get an update, because the game is dead. The game will also never get an update.

Can you update the Mod to the Gameversion 0.8?

Now that there are no more updates to MedEng, is there any better time to update this mod ? :) So many blocks here that are missing in the game and will never comeback without you! :(
You stated: " Besides, investment in modding goes in hand with interest for the game, and like you said it hasn't and won't be receiving updates for a long while. This mod for me was pretty much 20% making fun new blocks, and 80% fixing things because of updates breaking them, it gets really tiring really fast honestly."
Well, there are no more updates planned for ever for MedEng, so they wont bug your mod anymore! :) Win Win for you and us :)
Hope to see this updated:)

From what the forums show it's been put on "hold" until their other title, space engineers, has been finished.

Is the game still even being developed? Because to be blunt, the developers are really doing it at a sluggish pace. I've been waiting for a major update for so long that I actually thought Medieval Engineers was abandoned. Which is such a shame, This game has SO MUCH potential!
