Moon Prism - Shield Mod [v1.08] [Reupload]

Description
ATTENTION:
This is not my work, this is a reupload of the Moon Prism Mod!
Text and images were taken directly from the original mod page, Original Mod Link.

Mod comes as is, all previous warranties are now void!
If you have any issues with this please post and I will see what I can do, this will remain until either the authors of the mod or Keen/Steam requests for removal.

Thank you and enjoy.

Last update v1.08 :
I choose to don't add gatlings because it's really a great loss of performance. But @rexxar helped me to improve the calculations. SO see below the description of this update :
- Meteors added,
- Collision fixed,
- Reset of settings corrected,
- balancing of damages.

⚠ The mod wasn't tested in multiplayer servers! So it could crash ! ⚠

⚠ There are 2 main bugs currently :
- depth is not synchronized so set another dimension after changing it,
- GATLINGS ARE NOT MANAGED by the shield so it will cross the shield


Description :

This mod adds fully animated shield generators to the game which allow to provide a shield around your ship or station. This shield will protect all players or ships which are inside it.

You have the option to extend the shield to cover a larger volume by changing its dimensions in the terminal. However, the bigger the shield is, the more energy it requires. The shield loose energy with the absorption of damages and can be shut down but it have a reload system. Warn an enemy shield will kill you instant.

Currently the generator is available only for large grid but I plan to make one for small grid too. It currently protects your ship against ship collision and missiles (other types of damage protection will come in the next updates).

⚠ Warning ! It does not protect you from explosive blasts ! ⚠


Settings :

This mod doesn't require external settings neither in-game, but there are already a lot available in the block's terminal :
- ShowOnHud ON/OFF = set the visibility of the shield,
- Owner = set the owner of the shield ( all entities under owner control can cross the shield ),
- FactionShare allow to extend the crossing permissions :

None : only the owner's ships / items can pass through the shield,
Share with faction : allow the ships / items of other members of the owner's faction to pass through the shield,
Share with everybody : allow everyone and everyone's grids to pass through the shield,

For in-game programmers :

Even if the energy level is not displayed on the HUD, you can retrieve the minimum, the maximum and the current in use values of energy in the shield generator CustomInfo. Then you'll be able to make a custom LCD screen showing these informations.


Todo in the future :

As soon as possible I will work to add more functionality and efficiency so you can have :
- more graphical effects (particles ...etc),
- mod compatibilities (laser turrets, ect),
- reduction of calculations,
- protection against meteors (yet they're simply removed on impact, I still have to tweak the damage they make)

As you can see I didn't mentioned the game interface on the list since my next mod will consist in a complete overhaul of the HUD, including the possibility to display the load of the shield generator properly.

you can find the id for a mod by right clicking anywhere on it's page in steam and clicking copy page url. For this mod that copies {LINK REMOVED} to your clipboard which shows that id=755298455

Whats the ID for the mod?

Does anyone know of any shield mods on modules that still work and don't rely on Weapon Core with this one?

Still wish this mod saw more, as far as I know it was the first bubble shield mod out there; while Darkstar's shield is great and more polished, the pleasing aesthetics of this one and the historic value of being the first of it's kind really set it apart.

The visual of this shield is awesome. It's a shame that it was not finished.

does this have scripts

DarkStar created a really good and functional energy shield mod. However the visual aesthetic of this mod IS amazing, I wish it were easier to implement the shield bubble effect into the other mod and then we'd be set! great. It's a shame that this mod was abandoned and no one have took interesting on upgrade the mod.

How does one activate this mod? It seems to function as a gravity generator, and that's about it.

No it hasn't. That mod is built from the ground-up entirely separately.
