I wanted to adjust a few things for my crew's campaign, and ended up making a Fork of this amusing mod that works with Neurotrauma Cybernetics (retaining organs/limbs on the old body so they can be extracted and reused; allowing organ transplants to treat some cloning conditions), fixes a few issues (the below ID Card localization issue, losing talents), and disables by default the "very funni" resetting of skills to 5 for decapitation/husk.

@the goofinator: I kept each change in a separate commit on Github, so if you'd like to merge in any/all of the changes back upstream into yours here that's totally fine by me!

If the player's language is not English, then the ID Card cannot be detected

if item.Name == "ID Card"????????

Strange reagent is working

only Bio-Cloning and lua
cant work

Tested it out, still works fine but idk if it would have changed if i wasn't server host.

Hey there, I wanted to use this mod for my multiplayer campaign but apparently the cloning process applies a heavy frame-rate to everyone but me (The server host) As the clones get spawned, the frame-rate issues last about 30+ seconds before returning to normal. Is there something I can do to improve it? I didn't receive any errors in the log to back up my claim.
Is the mod multiplayer unfriendly?

sorry I forgot to use lua thats my bad :3

I can't quite figure out how to use the pod even after powering it on and grabbing the body with the id card in the pod.

good balance for my single campaign characters, they are all maxed 100 and some over, this mod removes the need of hiring new guy at output and retraining them

finally, thx

@StrengX
it took quite a while to figure out but this has been fixed (all bots will now join the crew)

hey
my friend started cloning the outpost security agents to make them crew members but when we start a mission, they despawn, and even for our dead crew members, at the end of a mission the clones disappear

Nice, can you make a clone army type deal from one person?

Ah, okay. Thanks, I'll try that.

the collision box for the cloner is really big, try cutting into the hull if you drop it and can't pick it up

This is great. The only issue I'm having is that the Cloning Pod doesn't seem to have collision, so when I dropped it on the floor by accident, not even bots with the "Clean up Items" task could pick it up.

hey, i had a look at how you handled strange reagent out of curiosity, and i feel there's one vital thing you should change—
instead of an hour-long delay in a statuseffect within the strange reagent affliction, i feel a better method is to simply have the max strength of the affliction itself (and the maxstrength of the <Effect />) be the delay (3600). a strengthchange of -1 in the effect would mean it loses 1 strength every second, and this also means the affliction's 'delay' persists between level changes, so that you're not just sitting in a station for an hour between a round so you can be cloned again without your reagent resetting when you get respawned, so you can instead hit the road and be ready to clone whenever the strange reagent finishes metabolizing. you can then have the statuseffect to reduce cloning defects only trigger if <Conditional strangereagent="lte 1" /> or so. this also lets you track how close you are to being able to clone again

of course, it was made for permadeath modes

Does this work with Ironman?

for some reason this didn't give me a notification, but you need clientside lua for singleplayer, lua server executable for multiplayer and if both don't work it's probably because of a mod that edits the id card

Wait so this mod is supposed to work for multiplayer or singleplayer, because I cant make it work

can't speak for ID card enhanced, but I personally didn't have issues with Enhanced Immersion. maybe a load order issue?

Oh, and it is also incompatible with Enhanced Immersion, if you want could you tell me which values should I change to make it compatible with all of them?

Could you make it compatible with the mod "ID Card Enhanced"? I would greatly appreciate it

no problem! gonna get some sleep now though, i think i hear crawlers in my walls…

i have finally found and fixed the problem, thanks for the testing

testing in sub editor, which I assume goes by the same rules as SP.

wait you were testing in multiplayer?

well… that’s good? i was never planning to play it in SP.

just tested again in singleplayer, turns out it's just singleplayer thats crashing and i was testing it in multiplayer (fuck)

tested with a 4070 ti and ddr5 still crashes with performance fix

yup, identical crash. no clue what's happening.

Gonna have my buddy with a way better PC test it, see if it's a driver thing.

yeah i'll be honest i have no clue how it works. i tried setting tick rate to 1 and even that wouldn't crash. maybe i need to buy a really shitty pc to test this stuff idk

well this was certainly not what i was expecting, considering i did test performance fix too, but i'll try to see how that could be causing it

If you find a fix I'd love to know. I love this mod but don't know if my PC can bear to lose PF.

It's Performance Fix!!
I don't know how in the hell that does it, but that's it.
well, that or "Don't open debug console on errors," but I have my doubts.

i've tested it with a whole bunch of neurotrauma mods and nothing has happened yet

Reinstalled the mod. testing with fewer and fewer mods until I find the culprit.

Yes, I did. not sure if it applied.

did you update cloning too?

so weird, I tried removing Real Sonar, NT eyes, a bunch of other shit, and nothing helped. I'll keep testing later, see if I can't find it.

I would assume that to be... NT eyes or NT airway extension. I'll try removing those.

it seems like a mod is trying to modify the body while it's being deleted by the clone pod. i've tried to fix it by not letting the person be cloned if this is happening.

honestly this comment section isn't used for much anyways so i wouldn't mind

but if you can't put it here, i think pastebin or something like that works

yes, there is. is there somewhere I can post it? I don't want to clog the comments.

no known incompatibilities, if it's crashing to desktop, is there a crash report?
