It's not working with 3.1. Please update! Thank you!

Is it possible to have the non uptaded version?

Thanks for updating!

@LordofOrange Pretty sure this mod will work with ALL versions of the game ever made... Since this is a mesh edit mod.

Would it be possible to update this mod to 2.3?

I think yes.

Hey, is that mod compatible with NSC?

She tought me by directly chatting with me. I believe she would like to help you too.

Out of curiosity, would you have a link to that tutorial from TheGrandN? Im looking to edit a few meshes for a mod im working on, and a guide would be awesome

Mammalian battleship.

What's the ship in the screen shot?

Which graphical culture? Which ship size? Which weapon?

i think there was a bug in the code, and now my ships are firing from the sun.

Before I answer, I have a question: why hasn't NSC ships use vanilla modules?

Okay, I will say, I won't spend my time on making compatibility patch for other mods that I don't use them personally.

Would you consider making this Comaptible with the NSC ships mod as an addon?

YAY,
Thankyou!

Titans updated.

I guess it's still usable. Just see if I can find my time to update for titans.

I also would love to see an update

Please Update This for 2.0
PLEASE!

At the exact positions they were.

Your previous description about locators means that you put locators a little bit more inside the ships or you just left them at the exact positions they were?
Like you left a locator in a position like { 3 -3 5 } or changed it to { 3 -4 5 } to make the weapon firing efect more inside the ships?

Don't worry.

Paradoxian .txt editing is enough to make most of the potential features. Also, if you are working around vanilla stuff, you are likely to overwrite vanilla files.

Since I started modding, I seldom played Stellaris seriously. I do "alt+f4 and edit something" once a hour, in average. I don't think that's wrong.

This looks great! Thanks so much for putting in the effort to make this, it really fixes the cheezy style that the ships had.

thanks for the advices, I'll check on them after 2.0 comes out and I see the ships still be in need of rework.
I've only 'modded' - I can't realy cal it true modding - by rewriting existing simple .txt files in the common files, mostly in ship sections, that's why I'm not too confident in my modding skills... I'm also afraid a bit, that I'm modding out my gaming desires and end up only making mods and mods and not playing :)

@Immortalits
Deprecaded section modules are modified too.

The locators remain unchanged.

You can add new locators in gfx/modules/ships/<graphical_gulture>/_<graphical_gulture>_ship_entities.asset at this form:
locator = { name = "xl_gun_01" position = { 0 0 -10 } }
If you don't set position, the locator will be { 0 0 0 }.
I suggest you to add a locator named "root" and at { 0 0 0 } for every single section and make all weapons shoot from this locator. Special weapons like XL weapons can be from { 0 0 -10 } (10 in front of the middle point, near the bow). If you want different locators anyway, I suggest you to add locators kinda "left_4_front_4", "right_4_front_4", "left_4_front_8" and so on. Don't waste your time on having locators just attached to the module because this can't be easily done even though you had Maya.

If you use my mesh file without editing anything else, you will see that the lasers come out from some distance beyond the ship module where was turrets before.

Also, wrong sized weapon mount (your 2nd point) are not that bad, the more annoying part is the weapon slot locator thing and the lack of weapon slots for specified ships I've mentioned above/below. If this mod realy makes it possible to ignore weapon locators, it would be great.
I realy want to create a mod, where larger ships are realy rare in the fleet and are truly strong compared to small ships. In my opinnion, a battleship is supposed to be able to deal with more than just 8 corvettes in value, firepower and/or defensive capacity.
2.0 will even help me in the balancing with the armor rework, so I won't have to worry about straight up increasing base HP, armor and utility slots of battleship, breaking balance.

Also, how are weapons locators function in this mod, because I'm also trying to create a mod, where I increase the overal cost and value of battleships by giving them extra veapon and utility slots, but I can only use the common txt files to create my mods, because I'm not a professional programmer. And creating new weapon locators are out of my league :$
I can only just play with the pieces provided by the base game and reuse and rebuild things by using the already existing modells and their weapon locators.
So it is a big problem to create a 'tank' battleship with a lot of small weapon slots on the 2 sides with so few locators (I've ended up putting 2 weapons to the same locators, but making them different if possible, like S + PD or S+M)

have you repaired all existing ship modules or just the ones currently available in the core game?
I mean, there are quite a lot ship modules for battleships (6 different modells for bows and cores) originally, which got removed / reworked and are currently not available in the core game.
I made a mod, where I've recycled them to increase ship diversity - and gave battleships destroyer combat computers - to be able to create 'tank' battleships with a lot small weapons.
Also, there were the 3M2S bow modell, which had broken weapon locators.
Are they all available in this mod and repaired?

Station modules are changed as well.

I guess SCX, NSC and so on are compatible, but you must enable this mod later than SCX, or turret mounts on humanoid deprecated battleship sections will appear. Downscaled ships is compatible.

So not compatible with SCX and Downscaled ships im guessing?

oh and in addition can you do a station-one too ? stations with big guns look weird

maybe i try it out
btw is it savegame compatible ?

I never meant to make players able to pick 3 XL-slots on a battleship. I believe that an XL-slot takes more than the room of 2 L-slots.

This mod does not affect gameplay.

So . . Do you then actually get to build Lancers(Ships with all weapons firing forward in an arc) and Broadsides(all weapons firing to the left and right of the ships in an arc)?
How does this actually impact the gameplay?
Will the ships AI actually act accordingly? Or will the Broadside BBs just hang back with the bow to the enemy not shooting anything?
Will missles mounted to the broadsides actually arc around and fire to the front and rear as well?
All other weapons should not be able to do that obviously . . Aside from Fightercraft of course.
And then we get to FLAK and PointDefense . . same question basically?

kool

this is an interesting idea, ill be sure to try it out
