Thanks i'm gonna check it

It's a pity that it's not in Russian

Would be pretty cool to do Headshots with EWS Guns, maybe with a random chance to fire and get headshots winch deals X2 damages and the more EWS Accuracy you have the more chance to headshot you get, the guns right now feels like your always shooting at the center body mass rather than trying to shoot the head, it will also reduce the Time to kill an enemy without making the weapons Overly OP with the the System right now sometimes some enemies feels a bit spongey

There's a guide on the GiC discord, but the best way to start with a new gun would be to pull one of the guns from GIC.

Alternatively, there's a user or two (non-devs) who might be willing to lend you a hand with your own gun on the GIC Discord.

If someone could make a proper tutorial would be a true Hero

Nevermind, I figured it out. I was testing this with a shotgun and needed to apply the change to the GunFire:singleload function as well.

I'm trying to make it so I have infinite ammo with GiC firearms which I did by setting "consumeAmmoModule" to false but cannot switch ammo types this way and weapons that take multiple magazines do not display them on reload. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to have the ammo module consumed so all the functions work properly but without actually taking the ammo from my inventory. I tried changing player.consumeItem count to = 0 in the GunFire:reload function in the ews_weapon file but this did not change anything. How exactly would I go about doing this? Also, I do not plan on uploading this anywhere, I just want to modify this for my own use.

Forget that, i discovered how to play by myself anyway...and that sucks

have you, by chance, opened up a GiC crafting work bench?

What the hell to i do wiith a empty magazine? Idk how to refill this piece of piss that its pissing me off

@Songbird NO THERE IS NO WAY TO REBIND THE RELOAD KEY, ITS HARDCODED

Is there any way to Rebind the Reload Key? would be quite handy, otherwise, fantastic mod! i havent played the game in ages but stuff like this always brings me back to play it some more!

There's a few weapon addon mods for GiC which in turn use EWS. There aren't any other standalone mods which use this engine, at least not to my knowledge.

Any mods using this other than GiC?

Why are you asking here?

Go ask over there, where it is from:

how to reload Nariakira type 99 rifle with clip and mag?

SHIFT key

Make sure you have ammunition. This also means making sure you have the correct magazines in your inventory as well if the gun uses magazines instead of individual bullets.

For example, a common USM-series weapon (AK) will often use 7.62x39mm STANAG-USM Magazines. Be sure to check by reading the description of the firearm in question for information on what ammo and magazine it uses.

how to reload weapon

If you're using ANY mod that "overhauls" combat then the guns (player and npcs) will be unfairly boosted to ridiculous values. Please ensure you're not using any combat overhaul mods that affect how the game handles weapons, enemy spawns, or the likes.

For reference, a 7.62x39mm bullet (very common) will only do 76.2 damage. A musket round, on such other hand, can only do 150 DMG maximum (and only appear on Razed/Crusade planets).

If you have any further issues I would recommend forwarding it to the GiC Mod as the EWS Mod is purely the engine (in a vaguely similar way to Source or Unreal for GiC).

Is there any way to not get one shot by the guns? I literally get blasted for 300 damage right at the start if any enemies hold these guns. It's quite cumbersome..

No need to be sorry. I was just giving some pointers on where to start.

There is a guide on the GIC Discord in the "EWS-Guide" channel.

When it comes to creating weapons, there are all the base example weapons in the EWS mod folders themselves.

However, I'd say that referencing from GiC's developed weapons provides a far better template for what you want to do. The template rifles in EWS might be even more confusing at first than referencing an established weapon.

A balanced gun? See the already-made USM60. Slow-firing but hard-hitting Battle Rifle? CCR71. An exotic firearm with a bunch of fancy effects? Firefly Revolver, maybe even the Slabvolver. Literally magic? Frost Dynasty Staff.

Another good starting point would be the .338 Lapua Magnum pack as it includes its own rifles and ammo types which are then patched into one of GiC's stores (not necessary if you don't intend to run it with GiC).

The // json tags in the weapon files should generally be descriptive enough, but the GiC Discord is always there for pointers if you need them.

Is there an example for adding custom weapons and animations through this system like FFS？

> (note: provides no content by itself, go install GiC if you came from there!)

This is an [Engine]. This mod does -NOT- change anything to starbound. It is merely a code base for GiC to work on so that the firearms (and many other weapons) work.

No, it does -NOT- change vanilla-styled weapons or any other weapons from any other mods. Again, this is a code base to enable functionality for GiC to work in the first place.

do i have to install these mod i really dislike how much changes this mod does to starbound i really only wanted GiC

What do you mean that it would conflict with your other mods?
Thematically? Flavor-wise?

Because mechanically and on a code-level there are very, very few "hard conflicts" that would crash your game or break something.

I would but that would conflict with my other mods. I just want a separate future that allows me to reload and use ammo for vanilla guns.

You could just install EWS and GiC and use the guns we give you if that's what you want.
There's a lot of them.
There's a lot of ammo for them.
And you can use them exclusively if you want.
But you'd have to manage your ammo supply.

dam. is there any mode that does just that?

No.
It doesn't do that.

if I install this mod does it make all weapons use ammo

that's for GiC related stuff, not too relevant ultimately unless you want it to be; it's basically just a resource for GiC, doesn't seriously effect anything otherwise. refer to GiC's "anomalous" weaponry if you want to know more about how the psychic damage type is used.

whats the psychic damage type?

That's odd, as there was a period during testing where the dev team explored Omeruin's Hellish and Heavenly planets but they were later removed as we didn't have much to do on them after exploring them.

I don't think it's safe to assume that's conflicting with anything. You should join our Discord and submit a log so our coders can take a better look.

The Discord link is at the bottom of the GiC workshop page.

To Anyone having a crash on startup:
If you have the mod "Hellish Planets" Installed, It causes a weird crash with the monsters in that mod, resulting in the aforementioned crash to desktop.

It does not conflict with FU, FFS, Shellguard, Arcana, Knightfall, various race mods such as Neki, Felin, Lastree, etc.

The team's modlist as hard-evidence of compatibility, which is also found as a link on the GiC page. We have found no incompatibilities, and any not specified by the dev-team are at best, unconfirmed rumors.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2077778666

I won't be the first one to say this but would this mod conflict with FFS and FU by any chance?

@SirBucketKicker thanks for the explanation, i understand the Shift situation now, yes, but i didnt only used Shit only to walk on a combat scenario, it usually is binded to both walking and the camera movement, but i will have to find a way around until either you guys find a way around, or until i learn how to make mods myself. in any case, wish you guysthe best in these trying times, you're doing a great work

Comments are not disabled on the main GiC mod page, only for the music-companion-mod.

In regards to GiC content, the smaller helmets are intentional. GiC races (Extrasolar Human, Floran Liberator) have purposefully smaller heads to match human proportions a little bit better. No patch is planned to expand the size of the helms.

Additionally, the “killing” of hair is largely intentional. It’s a helmet, it’s going to cover your hair. There may be some logical exceptions to this rule of thumb, of course. Would be willing to discuss more, but it would appreciated if further discourse would be done in GiC’s main Discord server, found at the bottom of GiC’s main workshop page.

Doubtful that you’ll see an update on that front soon due to limited free time on my end.

In regards to reloading on shift, I can’t rebind it to much else due to Starbound engine limitations. Shift+RMB is unviable because that would mess up one-handed weapons, and Shift+Primary Fire is undesirable because it would look like EWS copied Frackin Universe (note: developed EWS without any influence from FU, didn’t even really consider shift+lmb myself until I saw FU’s ammo system. hats off to them in that regard?) It’s also easier to panic reload with only SHIFT, as in reload input only requires one hand instead of two. It is a bit clunky, admittedly, but you’re the first I’ve met who’ve really even used shift to walk in combat scenarios. I would personally just recommend tapping left/right to make minor movement adjustments, even when ignoring EWS. Will be considering your point, something-something looting via shift clicking is also kinda annoying with a EWS gun equipped, but the dequip button exists for that reason.

TL:DR :
Reload on shift is clunky and make me lose mags trying to walk, please help.
Helmets are weirdly small and make your head clip out of it despite how detailed it is, fix ?

Since for some reason, GiC mod page doesnt have comments enabled, i came here, i really did like the mod tho, and i am looking forward to it.

i dont know if this is from tis mod or GiC, but currently, i have noticed that reload weapon fuction is in a very inconvenient button(Shift), and every time i want to walk one or two blocks forward/backwards to peak out-shoot-peak back i will end up reloading instead and lose an entire magazine, so i came here with a question.

Can i change the reload to another key, or put it to "Shift+RMB" ? and if yes, where and how do i do this ?
another thing i wanted to adress is the GiC helmets that are too small for the character's head, but that might be the "make everything cuter" mod that adds more details to faces and heads, but still, putting up a helmet kills long hairs, so it'd be a nice thing to change helmets to not overwrite your entire head when you use it (or i can just use the Vanilla Soldier/Medic/M1 Helmet), there is also the problem that most helmets are a couple pixels smaller to your head, making so using them will have your head clip out of the back of the helmet.

that’s for GiC, not EWS; you can find the munitions workbench on lush planets via bandits, or trade for one with undercolony hackers

Where do you find a Munitions workbench, do you craft it or buy it somewhere?
