[ARMOR] Alloy Armor

[bloodman123726]

Hey openxcom fans!  This is my FIRST EVER MOD i've made and guess what? it works 

RESEARCH COMPLETE: Alloy Armor


Down to the point, Alloy Armor is a new research tree and armor mod. This mod is designed to work perfectly with: https://www.openxcom.com/mod/combat-armor as it's meant to be an upgraded version apon that and all credits go to him as this is how i made this mod especially the sprites provided. The research tree is changed like this, Alien Alloys -> Alloy Armor -> Personal Armor. This as it is shown, only affects the armor tree. The armor itself is a cheaper variation requiring 2 Alien Alloys and 20,000 dollars to produce and sold for 40,000. Making 20,000 profit when sold. The stats are what i'd call between Combat Armor and Personal Armor with 90% stun and 90% incendiary damage.

I hope you enjoy this as it took me a while to figure this out. I'm surprised i actually did it first go. Works with the recent nightly build.

If the picture below doesn't work then an attachment has been made so you can view it instead.

Congrats on your first mod! If you want, you can use my recolour of Warboy's armour (to make it look more alloyish):

I like the concept, but isn't this basically what personal armor is supposed to be? (Both lorewise and gameplaywise)

Still, awesome that you made a mod.

it's sort of like Xenonauts did, you made a crude replication of the aliens material to make a vest that could just do the job as well add variety but the main reason i would say is that it's a balance between the armor as i'd say the alloy armor is cheaper to make than personal armor allowing you to make a tight budget and focus on other pressing matters

That's normal. Ask away if you have any trouble, we'll help (probably).

yeah it just takes fiddling, that's how modders are born  i'll give you a shout-out if i can't get it handled today, if it does work it'll be an optional release

i can get everything to work apart from the sprites as it crashes when i start a new battle after the inventory set-up screen, i dunno how to make it work

i'm now getting a sudden issue of vector::_M_range_check when i use the armor in combat, if an alien goes to shoot them the error pops up and i dunno why this just started happening. Help?

You probably haven't linked the floorob for the body with the armour.

Here's how it looks like in my mod:

Code: [Select]

armors:
  - type: STR_ALLOY_VEST_UC
    spriteSheet: XCOM_11.PCK
    spriteInv: MAN_11
    corpseBattle:
      - STR_ALLOY_VEST_CORPSE
    storeItem: STR_ALLOY_VEST
    frontArmor: 44
    sideArmor: 20
    rearArmor: 26
    underArmor: 15
    damageModifier:
      - 1.0
      - 0.8
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
      - 0.8
      - 1.0
      - 0.9
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
    loftempsSet: [ 3 ]

Note the STR_ALLOY_VEST_CORPSE part, which tells the game what groundob to use if the soldier dies/is unconscious.

Of course, STR_ALLOY_VEST_CORPSE must be defined in the items section.
