I’d rather not stick them on the Solar Roller, all the same. I will stick the chain lightning turret on my car, though, since what I need is a way for my car to defend itself against hordes when I’m not there but close by.

It’s also great at…

Killing fungus…

Random_dragon · 2016-01-27T16:24:10.000Z

Yesss, purge the shroom.

TheFlame52 · 2016-01-27T21:14:26.000Z

ill show u a purge

Random_dragon · 2016-01-27T21:16:13.000Z

In Soviet Russia, fungaloid burns you? ;w;

TheFlame52 · 2016-01-27T21:24:23.000Z

I suppose, but said purge will probably be carried out via diamond broadsword, A7 laser rifle, and ten tons of solar-powered pain. With additional incendiaries if triffids are on the receiving end, but none of you are triffids.

Random_dragon · 2016-01-27T21:38:01.000Z

And that is what tanks are for. ;w;

Logrin · 2016-01-27T22:37:58.000Z

On the internet no one knows you’re a triffid…

Random_dragon · 2016-01-27T22:44:01.000Z

Logrin:

On the internet no one knows you’re a triffid…

And then suddenly. Vines everywhere. :V

I can do 70 mph on a bicycle, your argument is invalid.

If I were to, say, duct-tape three vortex engines and a seat on some extra-light frames, how fast could I get the result to go?

Also, I have a bunch of undefined-controlframes in my turret trunk, which I forgot about. What did they turn into?

EDIT: I now have a 200mph scooter, but that’s a far cry from a 2000mph scooter. I guess vortex engines don’t have nearly the power output of a v12, but they’re nice for free power. I think I’ll use them as the turbo on the Solar Roller.

BeerBeer · 2016-02-09T11:10:47.000Z

There’s probably a bug with the turbolaser turret. It causes a huge explosion, much like a tank’s main cannon would.

HurricaneJoe · 2016-02-17T16:06:39.000Z

Latest experimental seems to have broken the vortex turret? It’s throwing off three errors upon loading into my freshly genned world.

Malkeus · 2016-02-17T16:26:52.000Z

I think maybe it simply revealed a typo?
The automated vortex rifle turret (“id” : “avortexriflenc”,) was using the vortex rifle turret (“id” : “avortexrifle”,) as it’s item, which doesn’t fit the format of the other turrets.

Changing the automated vortex rifle turrets’ “item” field to (“item” : “vortexrifle”,) fixes the debug message on my end.

I haven’t had a chance to test it in game though.

HurricaneJoe · 2016-02-17T16:30:32.000Z

Confession, I know so little about how Cata itself is structured that at no point would I have made that realization, will go change and test. Thanks again for being just the most vigilant.

TheFlame52 · 2016-02-26T21:19:38.000Z

Can you specify whatever item you need to connect a part to a vehicle? Why not use blob feed to weld on blob parts?

Blaze · 2016-03-14T15:10:07.000Z

Okay… I’ve been out of the loop for awhile, and finally updated. Found out that the newer versions cause errors with this mod (and a whole lot of others really).

Here’s a working version for March-14 and later: http://www.mediafire.com/download/czuetp7bs4p86ia/blazemod-March14.zip

Just tried loading a new-ish game with your mod and got these errors.

It goes on for a few other things, seem that some of your parts have multiple materials with one being “null”

"type":"VAR_VEH_PART", "id": "1cyl_combustion", "symbol": ":", "color": "light_cyan", "name": "1-cylinder engine", "description": "A single-cylinder 4-stroke combustion engine.", "price": 10000, "material": ["iron", "null"], "weight": 20000, "volume": 6, "bashing": 4, "cutting": 0, "to_hit": -1, "min-bigness": 55, "max-bigness": 85, "category": "veh_parts", "bigness-aspect": "ENGINE_DISPLACEMENT"

Vortex Cores have “null” as their only material as well.

Another error comes up after:

Then another error about lsurvivor_suitx and then another about bfeedcharge.

Blaze · 2016-04-16T00:49:51.000Z

The fix is up now.

Also cleaned up the OP.
And the mod files should have fewer tabs.

So I feel as though I am missing something obvious but I cannot figure out how to actually use my vehicle based guns with this mod.

I’ve tried mounting them on my vehicle, using debug to spawn a new APC to see what the ‘correct’ configuration is and still can’t make it happen. I can’t get any of them to show up on the “configure turrets” menu or interact with them in some other way.
