@Maestro
Thanks! Good to know all is well :)

I retract my earlier comment. The crash was due to me accidentally leaving on a branched version of one of sir Evans other mods:
[branch mod "Weapon Turrets (Fixed Flak Turret Pathfinding)" steam workshop id 3446123152]

(sir Evans original mod is "[WIP]Weapon Turrets" steam workshop id 2891248440 and does NOT conflict with this mod though I hope whatever the issue with Flak was is fixed in the original mod)

I saved the crash logs but here is the issue: "Duplicate bullet ID 'evans.pd_turret_shot'." and this issue will happen if you enable this mod or sir Evan's [WIP]Weapon Turrets mod with the branch version of the turrets mod so very niche issue due to the branching.

@Maestro,
Any crashlog would be great!

Currently causes game to crash.

it feels more fair that they block deck cannons and such because you can make little things with power storage and PD/independent flak canons

They should block things on the roof though. If want to have the benefits of turrets, you should handle the downsides as well.

I think its still the case that deck cannons where blocked right? :D

Noted. I will remove that "Tall" tag from it during weekend or something.

do they block things like deck cannon

Thank you my friend. We’ll give it a good test and see how things go.

Done!
@Comrade_Commissar please see if lag is lower now for regular turrets, also check out Heavy variant and see if it helps with lag further :)

Ok, it seems like I actually can do something apart from adding heavy turret (which is cool btw).

Seems like bullet graphics was of insane size and was massivelly scaled down by the engine.
i cut the resolution of basic shot graphics turrets use in half. Expect update over the next few days, I'll just finish Heavy PD Turret graphics and drop it here.

Huh, very little I am afraid. It's a game engine issue. Multiple chainguns have that too. I recommend updating pc at some point, but other than that...

I could perhaps create a Heavy PD, that would have double(+) damage and half fire rate, lag is there because of number of bullets moving through space. I was thinking about it, 2x2 auto turret with somewhat larger bolts.

Maybe that is not a bad idea.

Hey man. Got to say, absolutely love the mod, but there is a fairly major issue. These things are basically lag machines.
Do you think there’s anything you could do to improve performance? Because quite a few people i know loved the mod but had to remove it for performance reasons.

Hello,
You can safely ignore version mismatch for this one mod in particular. I found keeping up with numbering to be terribly inconvenient, so just like many other modders, I don't track every release if it does not break the mod.

The plans for Turret Chaingun and Missile turrets are there, graphics for chaingun is done partially. It is just life stuff getting in the way of completing it. I will have more time near december, fingers crossed nothing new will happen to interrupt me and perhaps then it will be done :)

很喜欢你的这个甲板炮系列，它使得船只变得更酷。
但目前似乎需要更新一下，因为在游戏模组菜单启用时，出现了版本不一致报错。
未来会有发射器与链炮的甲板化计划吗？十分期待，因为你是我见过在此最为卓越的模组制作者。

Love your series of deck guns, it makes ships cooler.
But it seems that an update is needed at the moment, because when the game module menu is enabled, there is a version inconsistency error.
- Are there plans for decking launchers and chain guns in the future? I'm looking forward to it, because you're the best mod-maker I've ever seen here.

Crash log please!

mod crashes game with new update

ty <3

updated, uploaded, seems to be working fine :)

hope so! good luck

I've noticed. It was not intended actually - originaly, yeah, but people overwhelmingly were against it, so I removed it.
I'll have to look into this issue. Hopefully just removing the colider will be enough?

dunno when, but these suddenly started blocking roof cannon shots, i can only assume that was intended from the start but some bug broke it?

Thank you. I'll look into it as soon as I am able.

loading only this mod causes crash on newest update

I think they actually don't - if I recall they miss collisions on turret heads.
People were very unhappy with that in first version so *I think* I removed these.

May be wrong tho :D

Quite possibly as they are deck-mounted themselves.. it's the one drawback :)

Do these block the line of fire from deck cannons and such?

Yes, but deck cannon shot may have a plenty of hps.

Do these interrupt shots from a deck cannon? Like if these are between the deck cannon and the enemy, do these take the shot?

This is why I love humanity. It's never failed to impress me.

Confirmed fixed :)
Thankyou!

There, should be fine now ^^,

/facepalm
Well, what an oversight xD

Thanks for letting me know. Gonna clean it up right now.

Also.. the duals "battery7.png" needs to be checked, it has the middle piece in it :)

In update 0.23.0 .. "crew" have been removed as valid targets from everything, including PD

Huh. Sure, I'll take a look. But from what I recall they should actually hit the crew?
Will try to update it today.

Is there a chance of getting these to NOT shoot at flying EnemyCrew ?
(remove TargetType = Crew from the AutoTargets of the Turret)

Yup. No problems so far.

hey
does this work with current version

great mod. thank you.

Ok, should be fixed!

Good idea, thanks!

@sir Evans
You may consider to add a "* 2" in the ROF calculation of dual turrets so their in game stats should be accurate.

I'll check this out.
Initially I wanted to make all turrets tall ones, as it would make sense, but seems like folks hate that idea.

As for damage output, it shoots two bullets that do the same damage as single PD each. So output is double, as damage is tied to bullet and you have two bullets.

As for energy consumption - I didn't wanted to make vanilla PD obsolete, so hence power consumption reduction.

Single is spelled singe.. and the dual turret is useless, well worse than the single since the damage output is the same as the single and uses more command points and turn slower so the dual turret.

The PD turret also has a drawback: it is considered a high turret akin deck cannon thus blocking other turrets from shooting above it.

Vanilla PD consumes 5 per shot but turret PD still consumes 35 per shot.

Love these, the dual-turret is amazing.
They have completely replaced vanilla PD on my ships!
