i am, the only one who has >>ONE<< slag wepon and NOTHING ELSE? i havent seen more them one YET

someone can update this mod?

I use this mod even now and it still works well even almost 3 years later. I do enjoy it and it works good if you are also using the Borderland shields and the borderlands 3 health bars. especially if you give enemies the multiple healthbars because then the extra damage is very useful. the only think I'd really want maybe improved about this is just that I find it weird that the Slag bullets don't have a projectile effect? like when they hit a target there is a slag purple effect on a target. but there's no projectile effect when projectiles are flying through the air. I find it slightly weird because other elements have effects on the projectiles. it would have been nice to fire pretty Purple bullets. but I do also understand that that function is maybe hard to code? but still it's a solid mod that's the only thing I would wish that could be added is just more visual effects on projectiles and such.

hmmmm .....i been glaring at this mod for a while and i been pondering if i should add support to it for my Damage Particles mod.

otherwise, great mod!

I don't know if your planning on updating this again, but slag causes enemies who become unhittable to become damageable, it also removes elemental immunities too. (though that may be intentional)

And, of course it seems to be EXTREMELY rare to find weapons with it applied as well

the moment i applied slag (bow from R.G.B.) the enemy became invinvible while still damaging me. i could do testing if it's needed but for now i'll leave it at that

Awesome mod! Im curious if you plan on adding cryo/radiation weapon types in the future?

welp, looks like this mod only works as a manufacturer's touch addon, both for having support for npc weapons and just working for player ones at all

hum @FelmastProMcLane it appears that this mod may be broken at present, mind you I'm not using manufacturer's touch with this mod (but from my understanding, it's optional), I've confirmed it's not other mods either as testing in unstable yielded the same result of rare rng guns PGIing with associated errors cropping up in the logs: https://pastebin.com/hP6LbU09

hopefully you can fix this soon? I really like the idea of adding some diversity and challenge respectively to rng weapons and the npcs that wield them

I'm curious, does this mod still allow for npcs to use slag element weapons even without manufacturer's touch?

any way that this mod will add new legendary weapon?

I'll see if I can

support for weapon overhaul?

Okay, thanks!

I think I should list in which weapons it can spawn.

@FelmastProMcLane, it seems like it's working with FU actually, it's just that as an element it's exceedingly rare

So I can confirm it working with the right mods, but it really hates manufacturer's touch for some reason

Yeah, it works with manufacturer's touch but it lags my game to hell

I think I can make it work with FU, maybe it just happens to load after this.

I've downloaded manufacturer's touch and I'll see if it works with that

Aaaaand it does not. However I do have the mod for borderlands weapons (unfortunately not the shields one) so it might show up on those but I don't know. Either that or slag is just a super rare element. However so far it seems to be incompatible as it hasn't shown up after ~40 pistol bags

Nice!

I do actually have the weapon box mod so I can try and confirm if it will work on FU's weapons

Okay thanks! Just wondering since yes, betabound does add its own guns (uzis, plasma rifles/pistols, etc)

This mod affects the vanilla files (FU also does this, so it actually may work) but if Betabound adds different/separate weapons then they are not affected by this mod.

I do want to ask if this is FU compatible because I'm just not sure how well it'll interact with the weapons. That and Betabound weapons

You need to add the new element to "/damage/elementaltypes.config", this contains the resistance name of the new element and the names of the damage particles.

Then in that same folder, create a new "[newElement].damage" file, this one contains the kind, elementalType and visual and audio effects, I suggest making a copy of a default one and changing the colors and names to match your new element.

Inside the "/particles" folder goes the particle files named in the "elementaltypes.config.patch" that was created at the start, you can also make copies of already existing and then changing colors.

Also include an image for your element inside "/interface/elements", this is the icon, 16x16 px and .png format.

Now you may want to add a couple projectiles so that ranged weapons can use them.

And at the end you make patches to add the new element and it's projectile info to the weapon's config files located at "/items/active/weapons".

Question: How did you get custom element to work?

I can't figure it out even after scouring this mod

i knew i was missing something from manufacturers touch

yeah, looks like it turns rifles with that effect into pgis, ah well, guess I can just live without this mod then

ah, alright, I'll run some testing then

It says "Incompatible with anything that changes weapon stats", so probably not.
But you could try, worst case scenario is that no slag weapons spawn, but it shouldn't break anything.

is this compatible with this mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1967748482&searchtext=starbound+overhaul

Yeah, but I didn't add weapons, just the "slag" element and effect, I haven't dwelled in weapon-crafting-

Spiral Knights weaponry can fit in SB too (I think) plz ; n;

Although your idea is possible, it is hard to translate for how different tier enemies should be affected and how a lower tier weapon would fare against a higher tier enemy.
Perhaps something like a damage increase for damaging continually with the new element-type, with a lowering-damage effect for not hitting the target continually, thus rewarding combos/accuracy.

well not a scaling effect to be sure. weakish enemies will be a 2-4 hit kill, medium enemies will be a 2-6 hit kill i think, and bosses will be around 20-100 hit kills, but i like your idea too.

What's your idea?

eh, good enough but it could be better too

I was thinking something like, the more you shoot something the more damage it receives (up to a max). And higher health enemies see a reduced effect.

though now that i am re reading your message i think that it is more like if the enemy has more hp total then it would have less of an effect so bosses would still be balenced

your welcome

@Orith: Thanks
@warmaniac: I think I can do that.

yay,lol

it would be backwards

Bro i fucking love you, uh no homo

The lower the HP the stronger the effect or backwards?
Slag lowers the defence but the idea is to switch weapons after slagging to take advantage of the effect, as slag weapons deal less damage to affected enemies.

well. i dont know exactly how the slag thing works, but i was thinking of something to where as you attack it would lower the enemies defense as you attack but it will also be determined by the hp

You mean like a effect/mechanic to lower defence?
Because it would be easy to create variants of this, just not slag-colored.
