Did anyone ever pick up this mod? Looks pretty cool, but probably outdated given it's 5 years old?

Hi, @MexPex
I would like to revive this MOD and use your graphics, boost the armor value, and add additional MOD components to build it.
I will create 2 sets, one working and with all stock, and one for our server with custom things...

Thank you for all your work, we love it.

Oh mans~

I ALSO would like to include these blocks in a modpack I am creating. As always, all credit will be given.

@Mexpex I would like to use parts of this mod for a modpack I am thowing together for my server The names will be replaced with stargate themed stuff and the resource items as well If this is not ok just let me know. (Credit will be given)

Love this mod. Shame it's broken now. :c
Thanks for making it.

I used (and loved) this mod for a LONG time but the recent multiplayer mod utterly broke it. Hopefully it gets repaired soon.

Really wish there were more block shapes for the mirror and floor ones.

Hello there. Could i request "cable management 1" block from original mod?

Shame these don't seem to be able to be given edges, it makes them not cooperate with vanilla armor too well.

Awesome mod ... these blocks are my go-to for everything. Thanks

Me again :-)
As I am already done with mod, I uploaded it, so you can see the result:

I hope that was ok, but if you have any complains or won't allow me to use your mod, I will of course remove your parts.

@Mexpex: can I use a part of your mod (Hightech and Reinforced Blocks) for a kind of Block-Pack-Mod? I wish to make a mod which contains super light blocks, concrete blocks and your hightech blocks with some balancing and a new component.
Would really appreciate it and give credit to you of course.

@Archangel:
At least the DeformationRatio is a lot smaller: 0.1 for Hightech and 0.07 for Reinforced Hightech (0.4 for standard heavy armor.

@Mexpex I just did my own comparison and found that the reinforced hightech armor block withstands and deforms identically to the vanilla heavy armor block. If i remember right isn't it supposed to be around 5 times stronger than the heavy armor, is this a glitch or something?

For me DX11 is not working for these :/

Can anyone tell me if the 2x1x1 slops been added yet? Thanks

I'd still love to see a full set of the mirrored blocks. Having all the standard shapes would be pretty sweet.

apologies, the blocks ARE all DX11...I'm just an idiot

I would like to report that at least the slopes and corners of the reinforced high tech armor are NOT DX11, that said this is still an awesome mod.

Going to try this mod out. I want to make my ships as light as possible, and here is the main problem I see. If you want a pressurized interior you have to load up on solid blocks that add a ton of weight to your ship. Can you make some that are less strong, but much lighter. Many of my ships I really don't care about armor that much as I play mostly single player.

They've (Keen) increased both the cost and health/durability of the vanilla heavy armor... I'm going to make my own comparisons, but does anyone else have opinions on the matter for how they now compare to the hightech armor?

I also noticed that the floor block can't be rotated. Is this a known issue or intended?

Confirmed, working great in DX9 again, thanks mate :)

Fixed! Thanks Mexpex, everything is working great in DX 9. Here's an example of the color issue I mentioned...here's the DX 9 version: http://i.imgur.com/CDThPJ7.jpg -- the colors of the blast windows (using the revamped version) and of the cube blocks is the same -- I can pick color from one and paint to the other.

Here's the same scene in DX11: http://i.imgur.com/4kDNpS7.jpg -- the cube armor appears almost black.

-Fix Update-
Texture problem in dx 9 should be fixed, Need confirmation

Ive found the issue... apperently the same issue i had when working with the new blocks yesterday, DX9 dosnt support the BC7 compression for textures.

Will update within 15-30 :)

I am having the same issue with this pack which is unfortunate as i have used it extensively throughout my 31k + block and growing warship, no covered in white/ non textured blocks. love your mod, really hoping to get it working again. its all the blocks from this mod, to include the mirrored, the hi tech and the reinforced. i run in DX9. any solutions that dont involve rebuilding said ship brick by brick would be hugely appreciated, thanks mate and again, love your work.

is it the reinforced blocks that got issues?

I have the same issue as serialjwalker -- the cube blocks show up as solid white no texture in DX9. I tested in DX11 and they show up correctly textured but are much darker than their original color (now appear black, where I have them colored a grey that matches the color of the Titan Engine mod). Interestingly, if I pick the color (shift-P) and then paint a different block (like the revamped blast windows) the color appears dark grey again.

I just noticed that on the floor block the grey and black parts of the textures are reverse in DX11. So what is black in DX9 is grey in DX11 and what is grey in DX9 is black in DX11. Is this intended?

No problem found in dx9 or 11 when testing the new blocks.

Try to remove the mod and redownload it

why are all these blocks bright white ? even though they used to work fine?

-Update-
Added Reinforced block versions: Corner, Inv Corner, Slope (Small/Large)

They have a slightly different design compared to the Cube version but they look solid.

The DX11 blocks look awesome, I've got a question though, do you have any plans to make rounded versions of these?

Looking forward to it!

Thanks guys!
Now i just need to finish the last things on the reinforced armor... have done other mods instead of finishing it xD

They are freaking awesome, a HUGE transformation between DX-9 and DX-11. It's awesome :D

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS FROM ALL YOUR FANS AT THANES SERVER

I don't suppose you'd be inclined to make a full set of the mirrored blocks? After playing around with them a bit I've fallen in love with having them as a 'decorative' armor covering along my ship and would love to have the full range of shapes like light armor; assuming it is even possible.

Excellent news on the Reinforced armor front! This armor mod will QUICKLY become my new best friend when that's done!

Thanks for the fix!

are you gonna make some doors more walls and more stuff that fits DX11

UPDATE!
Fix: Purple/pink blocks.

Change: Mirror Armor renamed to Mirror Plate (Experimental DX11). Test it in DX11 and see for your self :) Ive done some tweaks to the _ng texture to give it the mirror effect. Hopefully we get real mirroring instead of the current cube map...

Tech related
All dx11 textures have been recompressed with BC7 codec. Some quality improvements but the compressor i used lacks in Image Filtering options when creating mipmaps.

Mod Status: Not done any update due to lack of time. But im almost finished with InvCorner, Corner and Slope for the Reinforced armor block :) Soooon

Thanks guys! However I used it on a ship and when I spawned in the ship on another world with the mod all the blocks were gone

For those that can't wait because of ugly pink blocks all over your ship - if you delete the following textures all of the heavy armor blocks will function correctly:

HTSquare_de.dds
HTTriangle_de.dds
HTTriangleLR_de.dds

On the other hand, the mirror block needs a texture remake or further investigation because it does not match the way it is depicted in your images. The center "mirror" plate is not colorable.

@DarkArkAngel640 @ATG - probably due to that _de i forgot to remove.. will remove and update when im done with slope, InvCorner and corner for reinforced hightech armor :)

The problem is with the dx9 textures of this mod. You can not use both a _de and _me texture at the same time. Its one or the other, not both. This is why this bug is appearing.

If you look at your reinforced or floorgrip blocks, they properly use only one _me texture and hence do not have this issue and appear properly in the game under dx9.

Yes same here about the pink/magenta color. Can't change the color of the block. This happend right after installing the latest update. I've noticed it on all the heavy armor blocks. Reinforced seemed ok.

I wonder what was in the latest patch that would cause this mod to have this problem....

Hey, I have an issue. For some reason the hightech cube armor is a dark purple regardless of the paint. If you have a fix or this plz tell

k works. so. why do you keep the other mod open?
