#ModdingIsHard XD

oh hmm....
now i am actually having troubles....

whenever i set the reach of a weapon to a ridiculous amount (100+) the character using the weapon will stop and freeze at the beginning of the attacking animation until the enemy is close enough to attack....

anyone know a work around? i would be willing to send my pistol mesh file if you need it, although it should be fairly testable with any existing weapon

That seems to be within Combat Techniques.

You're looking for "attack distance" and "attack distance min vs static".
The settings here have descriptions.
Tweaking the frame lengths here might help, as well as changing "attack direction" to "thrust".
No idea how to add a new weapon type to assign this to, not sure it's possible with FSC.
Maybe you could borrow one of the currently unused types.

This mod looks legit I'm gonna try it out. What program do you use to make your models?

@denninja
yeah i was borrowing blunt since that has no weapons attached to it yet....
i edited the attack distance, along with the length and it produced the result i stated....

from how i understand it:
attack distance in the combat techniques is the distance at which the person will consider using the skill, but it is limited by the length in the weapon mesh file
and.....
length in the weapon mesh file effects how far the weapon will reach, including how many targets are hit (based on arc and direction)

so the idea with the gun would be to make it's length far, and the attack distance far, and the direction of the attack thrust/forward, so it doesn't do a shotgun like spray.....

@lavagninogm
milkshape 3d, it's pretty neat - my first time actually modelling - but i have a crap ton of autocadd experience, so this is coming pretty naturally

EDIT:
here's a flintlock pistol, a little more "handmade" than the magnum

Excellent mod!

None of the buildings are available to be built, nor the outposts. The interior items also are unavailable to be built. On the upside the water tower looks good and the oasis/fire pit is a nice addition. Is there another mod that needs to be installed so those items will be available?

oh - your right
i know what happened, the gamedata overwrote my changes....

so....
there's now a new link in the OP

Tried the download link above, is that what you meant?

yeah i updated it, none of the core files changed, just replace your food.mod file

it should also keep your progress on your techs - so.... that's cool

EDIT:
a hunting rifle:

the trigger trim may be too stylized

I got it to work! Awesome new features You need to download the building unlock mod by elmonodara to have things show up in your build menu http://www.filedropper.com/buildingsunlocked_4

I would like to see some kind of glaive or stick for fighting, like a scythe and a long wooden rod

you shouldn't need that.....
in the updated mod it'll fix it, i made it so they show up

@koal
those are good ideas
i'll work on it

It would be nice to see some nun-chucks--probably spelled that wrong---and throwing stars for ranged combat!

that'd be cool - although i dunno how to apply physics so the nun chucks would look real, and at this point - the throwing stars would have the same problem as the gun =/

here's a glaive!

i have a bo staff too, but.... its far less interesting

That glaive looks quite nice, but you shouldnt make it look so "good" i mean its a post-apocalyptic world and most persons would use somekind of scythe instead of that professional weapon.

i think with proper texturing it'll look more worn
im really happy with how it turned out model wise - it was a really good idea, it needs a little bit more refining, but it is really cool XD
i don't have my desktop for the weekend+ so i won't be implementing it till i get it back - its in repair =./

Take your time And i have another idea: if the staff looks too boring you should make a spear.

Any chance we could get some fallout-esqe spears up in this?
