where cluster missles?

@Tsuketsu Oh yeah that's fair. IIRC that's because they use HE parts and the HE Factory is where you see the tool tips. I guess I could just add the cluster tooltips there. I'll take a look, see what I should do to fix that.

None of the tooltips show info on the cluster missiles...

Setting the advanced launcher to cluster, saving the design, and attempting to load it causes a reliable crash

Nevermind. Problem on my end. Needed to redownload the mod and switch to current build.

Crash on Load
Reference "<./Data/ships/terran/missile_launcher/missile_launcher.rules>/Part/Components/CommonReloadTimerShort/Duration" at node "<G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\799600\2892943426\missile_launcher_cluster\missile_launcher_cluster.rules>/Components/Indicators/Indicators/1/Delay" could not be resolved.

It works! Thanks for being so fast about fixing it, this mod is great and you're awesome

thanks

thanks man

Already working on it.

Hello i subscribed the mod and i got an error idk whats going on but when i start the game without the mod it works

Please fix this nug the mod is really nice

update quickly

@SporBel, thanks for the heads up. I do keep this mod active for stable branch though. When the update drops, I'll fix it.

@Dondelium Yeah, if you startup the game (running beta ofc) with the mod, it crashes.

@SporBel I am unable to replicate issues. Are you running one of the beta versions?

@SporBel Thanks for the heads up. I'll see what's up.

So apparently the new update now breaks this weapon, just to notify you.

Final update. It only crashes if any of the launchers has cluster missiles selected. I changed them to any of the stock missiles and they all load fine in playtest. You can add launchers after it loads and it fires fine but will crash if you back out and try to load the ship again (with the cluster missiles)

Ok did a lot more testing. I cannot replicate the issue as well.
-I left my one and only save file alone that caused the crash and saved as a new (in case you want the file).
-I created a basic ship with with your mod on a new game and the ship loads no problem. So...
-I deleted your MLs from Mk.5 in my career mode, saved as Mk. 6 in ship library, closed without saving, and that loads fine in playtest.
-While in playtest, I built the same MLs from your mod and saved as Mk.6. LOADS FINE!
-Mk.5 still crashes the game.

I'm just about to call it quits and say there was a glitch in the code for that save but waiting if you still want to see the error.

I 'm moving forward with my saved as new career and Mk. 6 (even if they look exactly the same)!

No sir but I am using a but load of mods. Let me know how to share both with you and maybe you can tell me what mod is conflicting.

Ok, so far unable to replicate. Uhhh are you using Digi's modular missiles by any chance? We had some intermitten issues with that mod but have been unable to pin down the exact source of the error. Would you by any chance happen to be able to provide me the blueprint of your MK4 and MK5 and maybe the save your using them in?

Sorry, too many abandoned mods. I didn't think I was going to get a response!

To add, when I first built it on my ship, I could not change what type of missile. I had to close and reopen the game then I was able to change the type. Love the cluster missiles!

Sure thing! I replaced all my launchers on my ship with your launchers and saved it as Mk.5 since I always save my ships when I update them for anything. Mark 4 opens fine in the play test area (More, Ship Library, Playtest) Mark 5 says: That does not appear to be a valid ship file. Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. It does this on all my save files. Testing later if it does this on a new game.

Hi @Tonker, could you elaborate on the issue you are having? I'll need to reconstruct the problem to be able to fix it. Thanks.

Also, makes ship file unusable in play test.

Excellent mod. Really enjoying it. Thanks.

"Might* add cluster missiles. These would work similarly to nukes, but there would be 2 in the launcher at a time, and they would separate, after launch, into several dumb-fire sub-munitions that would do minimal penetrative damage, but be a great distraction for other missiles." that idea sound fucking phenomenal!!!

*For loading other missile types.

There is no crew role capability for other missile types. Is this intentional?

hey i want to use your mod in my mod pack that adds alot of weapons into the game so people dont have to have 10s of mods can i add it to my mod?

@Dondelium checking now
doesnt crash on load anymore, looks like your hotfix worked. if anything else comes up ill let you know

The latest update broke compatibility with Advanced Ammo Storage & Supply. Any way to fix it?

Better yet, is there any way to make this launcher compatible with Jani's Shipyard? The insertors from that mod are a less cheezy way to load ammo.

I ask because until there is a massive optimization overhaul, trying to keep this Advanced Launcher (and other ammo-hungry weapons) constantly stocked up requires an obscene number of crew. Both mods I mentioned reduce the number of crew needed for loading, which is a big help in keeping performance from getting bogged down.

@CloudBirb I assume you were using the sunflower corporation mod and it was crashing. I pushed up a hotfix, let me know if you are still having issues.

it works for me

newest update as of today has caused the mod to crash the game when the mod is active. i can provide a full modlist and crash report log if required

can you update this to the newest version of cosmoteer please?

A lot of common sense changes. Highly recommend.

This is an awesome mod! Although the cluster missiles don't seem to work, am I missing some other mod? Otherwise, this one works perfectly for me.

Has this been updated?

can you update this to the newest version of cosmoteer please?

works, VVV already does that @Skyguy12

Do you plan to make something similar to this for nukes/emps?

@The Comrade There appears to have been some updates to how blueprints work. With that stated, I cannot now replicate the issue you are having. Could you upload and link me to the problem blueprint? Also, please tell me what selections you are making when you load the blueprint. Thanks.

The advanced missile launchers are now causing crashes when loading in a saved design containing one to blueprint mode, and then pressing 'make it so'

interesting idea for a missle laucher i wish there were more wepon varients in the game so thx for mod

really cool! For the "auto-loader"; a visualization: The 2 extra crew members standing at a station and loading the missile bay. A single station on each side of the bay for each loader. Not necessary, just a visual/logistic tweak.

@Good_Oatmeal Hi, so, I am attempting to balance this weapon system with vanilla. For the benefit of faster firing of missiles, auto loaders to reduce need for constant crew attention, and the ability to launch HE missiles as a tighter group. (Volley fire) This launcher is significantly more expensive, larger, and needs more crew manning it.

To build a single wide launcher, with auto loaders, and a much smaller form factor would provide the same fire rate, but would also allow players to line 4 times as many as this launcher. Which would definitely be an upgrade, but wouldn't play well with vanilla.

So, I will not be making a small advanced missile launcher.

I will, on the other hand be looking into making a slim point defense missile launcher at some point. Specifically for countering nukes.

very cool. im very excited for the future weapons you do

@Maadh Yes, it launches nukes as well.

nukes ?? :)
