Wish there was a way to export the mod so yall could do with it as you please, cuz I don't have the mod files anymore...

Fair enough. Yeah Ai mortars on ships can be balanced by lowering their accuracy on the move a great deal and that alone is all that could be done to balance them. A mortar ship sitting still could mean its death. Even having many sitting still shooting at other ships, i dont think that would be op because a moving ship isnt easy to hit and again a mortar ship sitting still is a dead mortar ship if you have to stop to make a more accurate shot and add a minimal range so there is a dead zone on where the mortar ship can shoot when the enemy is too close. This can be done in the vanilla game but the devs....

It crash my game and im no novice at mods looks like its incompat with new content or something.

I did look into adding ai to the mortars, sadly at the time it was "a little higher than my pay grade" so to speak. Essentially what prevents you from using the mortar on ships in the regular game is literally a couple settings toggled differently. So Essentially my mod was just changing a ton of values to that mortars could be placed on ships. ai is a different topic. It would be all good and done if atlas actually had mortar ai in the game, but guess what? they didn't even add ai for the mortars... So, essentially It was out of my skill level, programming new ai for the game was beyond me. So I justified it with the fact that it would make the game op. In fairness it would be because a mortar cluster to absolutely obliterate a ship. But yes I could see the use application and how it would add another element to the game, maybe if someone recreated this, nerf the npc damage a bit (Not like it would matter only works on stationary ships its like playing battle ship).

i agree this mod really needs AI that can attack bases and such like in a pvp scenario well close to a pvp scenario as one can through modding

someone needs to copy this mod and add AI... Why dont anyone do it, it would be epic and not op if done right, like decreased accuracy with AI to large spreads. We need ships to hit 300ft high pussie basses. Even if they also have ai mortars. That would look amazing and be epic fun but we got morons who makes the game and mod creators who refuse to add this in because they also like pussie bases and dont want to be attacked.

To anybody interested in this mod still, I'm sorry to say that I am ending support for the mod. It's been a long time since I touched the Atlas Dev kit, so to be honest, I forgot it all. I've since gotten more into solidworks and 3d drafting. Hope you can all understand. None of this would've been possible without WesterosRising, Who acted as my mentor, who I also haven't seen in about half a year or so. Thanks for downloading, Bob

plz can you make it so crew can use it
other from that great mod

well it can't be that hard to remember right? it's like the ARK dev kit too right? so tutorials wont be a problem either. I am planning myself to get into the dev kit in both ARK and ATLAS. the mod idea is great though!

Reason crew members don't man them is it would be overpowered. Also I would make a seperate pack for this, but It has been now a good chunk of time after making this mod, and I'm ashamed to say that I forgot how to use the dev kit, and my mentor is gone for good...

would be nice if u could get crew members to man them as well as normal players :D

Thank you All for the support! If the mod has any issues please contact me, I havent messed with the atlas engine since I made this, but I could probably figure it out again ;)

Mod ID: 1730371169

can we make it where NPC's can use mortars please?

Thanks Nyt

Look at the URL for this mod... it's the ID there, which is 1730371169

might be this 1562328838

i think this is the mod ID 1562168289

Im gonna admit, even I dont know that XD im a bit of a modding noob

Evening,
Does anyone know the mod ID ?

Nps its still a good mod and it works

Sorry, I may do this, but I am pretty sure there is no AI premade for this weapon, and even then this setting was to prevent overpowered mortar ships

grate mod but could you update so the NPC Can use it. Iv try use it thats ok but trying get a NPC to use it not happening

Wow, 196 subscribers! Cool to see this mod is helpful and wanted!!!!

I can look into it!

Any chance you could consider adding a naval puckle to this?

I meant a dedicated server that officially has the mod installed, Id never even refer to atlas's official servers XDXD

Does this replace existing ship mortar blueprints (which can't be placed on ships) or make them able to be placed on ships? I noticed a different item ID which makes me wonder if it doesn't/can't.

XDXD

Awesome work!, now all we need is the puckle guns xD

Official has no mods, so this kind of thing would only work on unofficial servers which also use this mod. It's a nice idea and given large cannons are now restricted I might actually install this mod instead.

@BOBWARPATH I mean does it work on official servers and if how to install?

@tom It should work on any server with mod installed

@BPBWARPATH It is only working on private servers, right?

Thanks!! Glad to hear its working out! This is my first mod

Should have been part of the vanilla game now we can have that boom at sea too, you sir are a king among modders.
