Yeah, my understanding is that the (buckyball) fullerenes referenced are super light materials. They're used to make carbon nanotubes, which are no longer theoretical as of 1991.

Just named my revolver big iron and solved the problem.

I did not know how much I needed this until I read the mod's description.

Jesus, never realized how heavy weapons were ingame. Good mod, keep it up man.

i agree

@Ozymandias If that's the case, then fullerite's absurd weight makes even less sense since fullerene has a very low density compared to other building materials.

fullerite is a fictional material based on the theoretical material fullerine, a lattice-work of carbon molecules that is ridiculously strong for its weight

its ok. in that save i was lvl 25 but tried using wishes to rebuild her from lvl 1 up, i have the town building mod and had found a large power station on sublevel 32ish and dragged all the power lines and machines back lol

ho well, i just started out a new character and wished her to the same xp amount.

on the plus side, my new musket is holstered lol :D

@borrowdaledrew This might be a bit rough to say but...

...your save isn't recoverable. Updates used to do this kind of s*** all the time. Luckily, from the looks of things, you aren't losing too much progress so making another one should fix your problem.

i gave that a go but unfortunately it had no effect.

i took a screenshot of the error though.

@borrowdaledrew A recent update might have broken your save. Downloading my new "Holster Your Weapon" mod might fix things.

hmm getting an odd error that states all NPCs as corrupt and when i hover over them and right click it shows the error being something to do with holderedmissileweapononequip ?

clearcorrupt removes every NPC and Creature from the game lol

this also seems to be effecting my character too.

great mod, though it would be nice if the holster/unholster thing was a seperate thing, because some people (me included) might not want that

@Deon The way I set things up, it should. Use of the holster/unholster mechanic is completely automatic even for the player.

Interesting ideas! Do the AI use holster/unholster mechanic?

I really appreciate the holstered and unholstered effect. I was playing and I noticed something was just slightly different in the pace of combat and was going absolutely nuts trying to figure out what the hell was going on, and just saw this update which is in fact probably a week or so old lol

I like it. Definitely interested and enjoy the realism you are offering.

That could be a good point but the borderlands revolver actually has an accurate weight.

If realism is what you value, then of course the weight of items is a good thing to consider. But then again, think about characters' ability to carry 300+ lbs of items and still walk around with ease. In CoQ, one can carry many items (e.g. chests) of large volume that, practically, could never be carried in a backapack, let alone on the person of someone with no pockets or clothes. At the end of the day, I don't think the developers of Caves of Qud are trying to make the game realistic; they can only really aim for internal consistency (in my opinion).

I hadn't even considered this when playing, thank you for putting this together!

Question, comment, concern?

First off, I love this, because I am a hoarder. But also, I like how you've actually focused on realism and adjusted accordingly.

How has this played with other mods for you? I am looking thru the .xml, and of course, it looks pretty straight forward (LOVE the comments you left), but I am wondering if this could be prone to conflicts? Furthermore, would truncating each individual weapon down to just say:
[code]<object Name="Combat Shotgun" Load="Merge">
<part Name="Physics" UsesTwoSlots="true" Weight="9" />[/code]

And forgoing adding the entire object, all that extra information, just in case some mod could change something?
But, then again, maybe Qud is smart enough to compile it all together- no problem- and I should stop typing.
