Anyone Interested in the Old Force Shield Mod?
So a while back there was this mod that gave you a couple of bubble shields that basically made the game a hell of a lot more fun. It was so good in fact, that it actually won the second mod contest held on the datarealms forums. I really enjoyed this mod, and so I dug it up and fixed it to work with the current version of CC. If you're unfamiliar with it, I'll give you a basic rundown:

It adds a couple of unique shields to the game. All of them are all deploy-and-forget, so you don't have to hold them in your hand while you shoot things. Oh yeah, and you can shoot through them as well. There are four different types:

- The first is the main feature of the mod: a regular force shield. It slows and stops bullets, rockets, explosions, and random assorted flying objects. It basically makes you into a badass, but not invulnerable. It only covers about about a 180 degrees angle from your reticle, and after it takes enough damage it will go down and need to recharge. Flying objects and explosions will be absorbed by the shield, but the physical force is till felt so sometimes you will be sent flying or pushed into the ground. It's very well balanced for those who love to take one actor and try to survive as much as possible with them.

- The second one is a reflector shield. It reflects things back to where they came from. It can take up to 100 hits before it breaks forever. Like the force shield, it deploys in front of you at 180 degrees.

- The third is a "quantum" shield. It teleports things randomly around when they hit it. It covers you completely (360 degrees). It can take up to 200 hits.

- The fourth and final shield is a disintegrator shield. It basically completely absorbs shots. This one covers in front of you like the force shield and reflector shield, and takes 200 hits.

I'd like to share this mod, as it has increased the lifespan of this game for me a lot. I DID NOT CREATE THIS MOD, but if there is enough interest I will upload it to the workshop. I could not find any contact information for the author, only his username on the forums which was Piipu. He gets complete credit for the mod itself, I only fixed it to work with this version. If he contacts me and asks me to do anything with the workshop page I will comply. This includes taking the mod down. So anyone interested?
