Black Carapace - Test Version

Do not reupload - Do not download if you don't know what this is

This can have debug messages and bugs in it. Do not expect a bug free, immersive experience.

This mod instead expands the functionality of the already existing power armor!
Almost every feature can be toggled and tweaked to your or your units needs.
It is designed to work with space marine armor but it doesn't technically require it to function.
You can make this work with every piece of equipment you want as long as it uses a human or space marine skeleton!

-Helmet visor overlay that adapts to lighting conditions
-Different visor when the helmet is broken
-You can define different texture filepaths for the visors if you want to make your own
-Helmet visor moves slighty based on your viewangle
-Limb armor condition and shield system
-Damage Threshold (Value is deducted from incoming damage)
-Working indicators for limb armor and shield condition
-Particle effects when shield is hit
-Individually customizable limbs armor values for every power armor mark
-Individually customizable animation speed for every power armor mark
-Individually customizable recoil suppression for every power armor mark
-HUD boot up sequence
-Low light vision mode with adjustable light sensitivity
-Auspex / Threat detector that shows friendlies, enemies, civilians and group members in different colors
-Adjustable range for Auspex / Threat detector
-HUD message system
-Ammo, rangefinder, bearing display
-Almost everything is customizable, change the visor transparency, the indicators color etc
-Zeus modules (Requires ZEN)
-Works on AI units (They have to be wearing the armor when they get spawned in for the script to start or have the zeus module to set armor levels used on them)
-Terminator support!

You can make whatever piece of equipment you want to work with this mod as long as it has the human or space marine skeleton.
All you have to do is add the classnames of the equipment to the list in the armor section of this mods addon settings seperated by commas.

The final resulting list should look something like this:

You can find all settings under "Black Carapace - Armor" and "Black Carapace - General" in the addon options.

-More in depth tutorial
-Different limb indicator textures for different armor marks - system is there just need the textures
-DUI like squad radar
-Custom crosshair

-Removing helmet causes repair action to be available
-The shotgun from TIOW that cultists use doesnt affect the integrity at all
-The threat detector has a hard time picking up terminators
-Explosions can affect the armor through cover/walls
-Terminators dont work right on dedicated server
-spawning with a melee weapon makes you invincible (needs investigation)

Please report issues and bugs you encounter, feedback is also appreciated!

Q: Does this work with ace?
A: Yes, it was designed and made with ace installed, but it works without ace.

Q: How do I start the HUD?
A: There is a scroll wheel option when you are wearing the helmet. If you are wearing the right helmet you should see the helmet overlay immediately. You might need to open and close your inventory for it to appear.

Q: Does this have to run on clients or the only on the server?
A: This has to run everywhere, on the clients, the server, the headless clients if you have any. Everywhere.

-Toggle auspex: Alt + T
-Increase auspex range: Shift + Arrow Up

-Decrease low light sensitivity: Shift + Arrow Left

Here are some useful variables and functions.
The modifier values are a multiplier. So a 2 would mean twice the amount of normal amor.
Yes I know, iron halos are not void shields.
Remove the _Modifier at the end of the variable names to modify the actual armor values directy.
Modifier and threshold changes need one of the below functions to actually apply.

If the messageID is the same the new message will overwrite the old one. Leave messageID blank, so just "", to generate a unique one automatically.

If you need help with any of this don't hesitate to ask me (Akaviri13).

If you want to replace the textures in this mod with the filepath setting you need to make sure that you set up the texture right. Most textures get stretched across the whole screen, so there will be a lot of empty space in every texture.
Helmet overlay texture is different. It needs to be square. ideally 2048x2048 or 4096x4096.
See textures in the mod for reference. Feel free to contact me if you need help with this.
