Theoneandonly. Sorry it took so long to respond. Here is the latest version of the mod which you should find MUCH easier to use:

Could any1 tell me how I make a weapon with this mod, that does not make too much DPS? I do not know what to multiply the weapons with so it does not get OP or have arround same damage that the weapons you get from drops have. great mod doe. =)

AtramentousSoul - Great. I stopped updated CTBII after I uploaded CTBIII so glad you have the working version.

Yes, I got it a bit after I posted that comment, everything works fine on that though.

AtramentousSoul - Wow. very, very strange. Have you tried using the more recent version - Custom Turret Builder III?

So I made a few turrets, but no matter what I do, they do absolutely no damage to anything.

Matt - I think you have to be friends on steam to send private messages. I have sent you a friend request.

Otherwise if you have discord you can find me by joining this server using invite code: 2jhjAFC

I like ver. 3 as well. Although, I'm about to start on a major, major update which hopefully will be cool.

Actually, I'm not sure I know how to send a private message.

Knight - Sure, let me slip into something more comfortable!

Matt - I'm more a fan of the number 3 version with the percentage change.
Generally I'm the only admin, though from time to time I have a counterpart, so at max 2.

Side note, would you like to continue this conversation in something other than the comments?

Knight - I took a peak at the documentation and it looks like this is very doable. A couple of questions:

Do you prefer version 2 (Custom Turret Builder II) or version 3 (Custom Turret Builder III). They are not compatible so I will start with whichever you prefer.

Also, in these games, are you the only player with admin privileges?

Matt - Just to confirm, it works on a dedicated server alone or with several mods at once.

The original post was asking if there was a way to limit/restrict players being able to use it on a multiplayer server because I wanted to hand out super powered mods as rewards for participating in community events.

I just can't seem to find a way to restrict other players from being able to use it so I can use it for my purposes. Which is all I was asking about.

I've been using it in single player for fun and its worked as expected, haven't found any issues really.

In multiplayer, each player has their own interactions with the mod just like they were playing in single player. As far as I can tell anyways.

Storm - Many folks have asked for that to be added. At this point, it's just "armed turrets" including defense turrets. I hope to add "civilian" turrets some time in the near future.

LumberingTroll - The mod is intended to allow the player to design and build a turret -- that is, a turret with the ability to set/adjust most of the turret values. Really nothing more than that. How and when and/or if you use it in your games is totally up to you.

Knight - Just to confirm, this is now working in your multiplayer games?

Warmaster - Not sure what you mean, but I don't think you can design a turret when in drone mode. You need to have a ship (or station).

Is there any way to create a mining or salvaging turret via this mod? It doesn't seem to be an option.

This is really interesting, but just to be clear I have a couple of questions if you dont mind.
Is this a tool meant to design turrets that get added to the loot-pool for drops in-game?
Is it meant to be a way to get yourself free equipment to play around with?
Is there a way to use it in-game and pay for the turret design you build?

@ Matt, thanks for that. If you would like to join in on the fun, your more than welcome to.

So, turrets can only be created when in drone mode then...

simjanes2k - Thanks! I have been practicing "social distancing" for the last 10 years or so! :)

GHustler - That bums me out. Are you running the regular version or Beta version? Are you using a single player or multi player server? Also, if you call up the console for the game. I forget which button by default because I changed it. In any event, if you have the console up while pressing *Build* then the error message should appear in the console. It would be extremely helpful to know what that says.

The most helpful would be the client log which should be in users / username / appdata / roaming / avorion. Not sure if there is a way to send attachment through Steam. If not, I can give you my e-mail address.

Knight - There has to be a way to do that with this mod. Let me play around and see what I can do.

@Matt

So I finally setup a multiplayer server to test the mod. As far as just working, it works for all connected players without issue.

As for what I was asking about, the restricting access to the mod to just admins, there doesn't seem to be a way for me to do that with how you have written the mod. (Not a complaint, just I can't seem to restrict it like I was hoping to.)

There is another mod @ https://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php?topic=4595.0 that requires a command be invoked to attach the script to the players current ship, the invocation of the command can be restricted to the admins via the admin.xml file in the galaxy folder for the server running.

Is there any way to add a check to see if a player is listed as admin? Or perhaps tie the startup of the mod script to a command that must be typed into the chat channel before the script runs? (Because then it could just be restricted in the admin.xml file.)

Sorry for the delay, crazy world we live in today.

Hi matt. Your mod sounds great but it seems not to work for me. When i click on Build Turret, than nothing happens. And i cant save any presets. Am i doing something wrong?

just want to point out that this dev is going HARD on feedback and updates

thanks covid

(just kidding you're my hero matt)

Roig -

I want to make sure I understand your suggestion. Instead of entering a multiplier (or divisor) when appropriate, you suggest percentages. So if the players enters "2" then the adjustment is 200%. Enter "1.5" would adjust 150%. Enter "0.75" would mean the adjusted turret value would be 75% of the base value. Enter "0.10" would mean the adjusted turret value is 10% of the pre-adjusted value.

Is that correct?

If so, off the top of my head, I think that's an absolutely brilliant suggestion. Let me play around with it a bit. If it seems to work, then I might just update the entire mod accordingly.

Thanks very much!

ROIG, ET AL = TURNING SPEED IS NOW FIXED. Sorry about that. Roig, thanks very much for catching that.

Percy - Thank you! That was funny. Are you still having issues with save files? Have you tried deleting all files and then try saving?

PhoenixKarma - Can you clarify your question? I'm not sure what you mean.

Zeikon - It is on my list to add the other turrets. I will try to get to it soon.

any chance we can get Civ turrets added aswell? would be lovely if my 10km ship wouldnt have to be less than 2 kilometers from a target to slavage >.<

Could u add support for turrets types added by mods?

@Roig: You want him to change? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to ask nicely instead? Maybe present a reasoning as well?

Turn speed change is not working.
And I want you to change from Multipuler to Percentage.

Hmm.. file I name Turrets, then Custom. As for turrets I go Bolter Titanium, Bolter Neonite, etc.

Percy - What are you naming the turret file? What are you naming the individual turrets?

@Matt
In my games, for some reason, the files keep getting deleted. I save a file, save a few turrets, get those turrets, get some turrets from using the file option directly, close the mod window, play some more, want more turrets, open window, no more file... :(

@Matt
I'm going to set one up this weekend to test, I'll let you know how it goes. I have one running now but several people from the community play on it and I don't want to risk their progress tinkering lol

turrets are free? because i made a few iron turrets and didnt use any iron

Phy - Yes, that is intentional. In the basic game, certain attributes apply to certain turrets and not others. In order to preserve the different functionality between the various turrets, I kept the options in the mod consistent with the base game.

Nice mod!

I've noticed that we can not set the range on some turrets (Plasma Gun, Bolter, Lightning for example), is it intended ?

Looking forward for the Mining and Salvage turrets

matt - oh never mind. this still a good mod you made. :>

matt, would be too dificulty make a preview hud? at least somethig very simple showing the stats, because one time i maded by acident a turret with a gazilion damage.... :x

... and, yes, you might be asking yourself -- "wait, I thought this was CUSTOM turret builder 2 ..." True. But there are certain features unique to each turret - or more accurately, a set of features unique to each turret. So in order to retain some degree of uniqueness and difference between the various turrets, I wrote the mod to be consistent with these differences. Obviously, the differences are not significant. But, still...

Nanaya - That is because rockets do not come in size 0.5. There was an error in the script which I fixed.

After update i cant made rocket launcher at size 0.5.

Knight - Can you give it a shot now? I made a few changes that might fix the server problem. However, I cannot test it myself.
