Random_dragon:

Are you using Vehicle Additions Pack and/or Tank mod?

Using both.

Random_dragon · 2015-09-27T03:29:02.000Z

Yet another reason Blaze SERIOUSLY needs to add a disclaimer in the modinfo description for Vehicle Additions Pack.

It changes most mounted weapons to be manual only. Stand on the space where the gun’s mounted, unwield any weapon you might have, and fire.

Tankmod does the same thing, but it DOES make use of the turret features Blaze added for some weapons. The .50 BMG turret on the atomic mini-tank, the 120mm RWS on the MGS, and the ATGM launcher on the IFV are turrets that act like vanilla turrets.

In general, if it’s mounted on a turret chassis, that means it doesn’t need to be fired manually.

Ya know… outside of the a7 laser…and the turret blazes added that are manual only (and most he added have both versions…)…

Right. Sad thing is he’s planning to go back on that feature, because he can’t comprehend that it would be far less ANNOYING if the player was given clear warning about this issue.

Which will requirement me to unfuck Tank mod, I suspect.

I’m using his latest release with your tank mod. Atomic mini-tanks are broken, at the very least. So… yes. You will.

Arek_PL · 2015-09-27T05:53:55.000Z

personaly i realy like manual turrets and crafting automatic one is not hard too we only need warning about manual turrets for other players

Xfin · 2015-09-27T08:33:18.000Z

Here doesn’t even see the point of automatic turrets that don’t have a easy renewable source of ammo, be it solar, pebbles, or bolts…and amusingly… blaze’s mod added most of them…
(will never use a auto flamethrower, 120 autocannon or a auto- turbo laser …that just a bad idea…)

Wow, i’ve never spawned a lab inside town.
Couldn’t you just use the sewers to go there and look?

DG123 · 2015-09-27T12:14:28.000Z

Wait WHAT?

I’m using tank mod and vehicle additions mod.

Are you telling me the turrets won’t work properly?

Can I install versions that will work automatically? I’m a bit lost here.

I thought what was meant to happen was that you could turn the auto-turrets on and off OR fire them manually.

Random_dragon · 2015-09-27T12:41:01.000Z

With Blaze’s mod and/or Tank mod, turrets are manual only, yes.

However, Blaze has been fucking with the mod and the version on his thread (the version in the game itself is still fine) breaks my tanks apparently.

Thankfully it hasn’t been PR’d yet.

DG123 · 2015-09-27T13:28:35.000Z

You’re telling me all the turrets in my crafting menu that specifically say they have fire control systems for autonomous operation actually require you to go and stand on the turret and shoot it like you’re using a normal gun?

Why would Blaze do this? That’s ridiculous.

How do we fix it?

For that matter I thought these were new turrets from the mods anyway…? So why do they say they’re automatic if they aren’t? I am confused.

On an unrelated subject what on earth is the “electric polisher” for?

Dampe · 2015-09-27T15:48:54.000Z

It polishes your electricity, obviously.

DG123 · 2015-09-27T16:28:36.000Z

It says it polishes… metal surfaces? But is there any reason to be doing this? You CAN activate the thing but I don’t know what it would do. It told me I couldn’t do anything interesting with it when I tried. But it was out of power.

No, you…augh. THOSE are turrets in Blaze’s mod, yes. And THOSE work on their own. That’s the entire point, he changed the MOUNTED weapons from vanilla Cataclysm to be manual-only, while adding those turrets that can still fire autonomously.

Dampe · 2015-09-27T17:24:53.000Z

Could I use the boats mod to create an amphibious deathmobile?

Litppunk · 2015-09-27T17:33:11.000Z

unfortunately to the best of my knowledge vehicles are either a boat or a car not both, but and don’t quote me on this. I think you can drive into shallow water and remove tires and replace them with floats and drive motorboat into the sunset if you have an appropriate means of propulsion… mod that adds air boats/hovercraft would be neat…

Ah, that makes a lot more sense and I don’t have such a problem with that.

Unless of course it completely buggers something up that I haven’t encountered yet. What does it do to those tanks which is so horrible?
