please b18

SIR I ASK YOU TO UPDATE THIS MOD PLEZ i despretly need it for my med/tribal run

pls b18

@a siege of herons They're more than welcome to maintain my abandoned mods.

some one has contacted me who is willing to update your mods.

@a siege of herons

I've honestly dropped this project. I mostly only add people that I know IRL, maybe making the rare exception.

add me i may be able to help

@a siege of herons Just noticed that I've forgotten to update the title or description, but I've decided to abandon this mod. Its execution is way too flawed and hacky, and some strange behaviours occur because of the way that body mechanics work in RimWorld, and I've not an idea of how to circumvent that. Maybe somebody else will pick this up, which is perfectly fine by me.

TL;DR: I've abandoned this because it's way above my skill level to get this to a polished standard. I do apologise.

patch to 18 please

@bamfigms i came here to report the same issue. The way around it is to install the armor before any animal bionics. If you do install the armor, it will at least drop all the bionics on the ground and you can reinstall

Any chance of compatability wit A Dog Said?

All of my Animal Bionics are removed when I install the armor.

@spincrus Updated. Thank you.

Hey man, I made a patch for Dinosauria. Just dropping a line if you wish to list it here in your description.

Cheers!

Thank you.

@Oddworld75 The author of Animal Collab Project hasn't made a compatibility patch for this mod. Both of these mods will still work together, but animal collab project's animals won't be able to be armoured.

Hi Everybody,

Anybody test the compatibility of this mod and animal collab project?

Installing/Operating based on Handling skill. Turn off Doctor in the priority tab for everyone except for your handler then make him perform surgery. Go to the ludeon forum for more info. I got it to work this way

Solid point, now I feel retarded.

@HentaiJr Smithy, as the thumbnail suggests. Only makeshift can be made.

Where can I make this armour?

yeah yeah, that's true. my husky had a permanent eye injury so i replaced with a animal bionic eye. After i install an armour on my husky, bionic eye comes out and its injury recovered, that's funny lol

@呆萌萌的呆呆獸 It's more just an error with torso installation; the torso is the 'main' part, so if it gets replaced, every 'child' part (every other part in the body) seems to get reset.

i just found out it might be incompatible to the a dog said mod, as i install a armour on my husky, and the bionic eye i previously installed had been replaced.

i know it says install by surgery but even when a animal bed is set to medical i cant figure out how

I love that you can install these on people with prepare carefully. Finaly i can put the Robot trait to use in a more immersive way.

am i the only one not getting this to work? it allways complains about "too low skill" so i even cheated in a 20.20.20.20.etc u get the point still complaining. something im not getting?

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. This was a great idea! Best of luck to you in your future modding.

@Omega13 I've already deprecated this mod for now since it's currently in a state of very poor execution, and I won't be able to really improve it without C# - hence why I've stated below that this is way above my skill level.

This sounds like an amazing idea. Is there any possibility of a single comprehensive patch, like the A Dog Said Easy Patcher, that would allow other animal mods to more easily make themselves compatible with this?

@XeoNovaDan I feel you. XML isn't easy. Try modding for Stellaris, and it can get fairly difficult, especially if you don't know what each line of code does.

See if you can get into contact with a code writer for Rimworld. Either that, or go to the Rimworld Modding Reddit/Discord. I'm currently part of the Alien Framework Discord, and they are incredibly friendly over there.

@Draconic Gaming For now, that is way above my skill level. Both to do and to write.

Do you have plans on making the armors visible? As in, having a rendered model in-game?

Of course, you'll either need to get a good vector software, or a good vector artist to help, but it could help when trying to figure out which animals have armor and which ones don't.

@Cannon Just tested this; you are right. Well, I'm not entirely sure what to do then, since I could barely cram this into XML and I won't be able to write my own stuff.

Might just leave this as a proof of concept, and that concept is that animal armour isn't really viable unless you know C#.

lol this armour works with boomalops XD which is kinda dumb but what ever.. good mod

I tested the armor removing ads limbs and it does. Armor completly resets the animals health. It removes scars and from what I've seen even gets rid of dementia.

An army of armored squirells.. Think of it.

@El_Venezolan Restoring torso with devmode will restore everything, since Torso is the 'main' part. This shouldn't happen in normal gameplay.

Might have been me screwingup with dev tools... but I think I noticed removing armor also removes ADS limbs. Can't confirm right now, so don't take my word for it how ever.

@yourbigwildpapa It theoretically should.

can it fit with a dog said ? glad to know

Armored Turtles are hell on earth

@几用来包 You mean for makeshift and heavy armour? Well, I'd envision that quite a bit of steel on a rudimentary piece of armour would be quite constraining of movement. Similar thing with heavy.

It's all in the balance.

Not reduce speed?

@Collserra An armoured thrumbo would be quite a terrifying beast! But also difficult to sustain.

@Mugenmori That would be nice, but I unfortunately don't know how to do that. As it stands, this mod's basically pushed the game's XML framework in some aspects to the limit.

Finally animal armor! Now I wish it was more cosmetic like with pawns wearing armor.

now its good to have army of chickens attacking tribe bases.

armored up thrumbo
that's just asking for death
