helmets gonna go thru major redesign but I guess it could be intrenting so maybe I will it some time later

Rakshasa, Jan 19th at 5:59 PM

Think we can get a visored version for Lupines mod?

Octaninc , Jan 18th at 6:11 PM

done. it should be fixed now

Rose_Thorne thanks for finding the incompatibility

Rose_Thorne, Jan 13th at 6:25 AM

So I have been doing some testing and this mod seems to be what is causing the broken recipes
https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/11264

Octaninc , Jan 12th at 1:00 PM

send me on ds or screenshot to imgur modlist maybe I will find it and fix it.

 

ds octan8741

Rose_Thorne, Jan 12th at 2:33 AM

Ok, so I just tested it with no other mods and it works fine, so it seems to be a mod conflict with another mod I have

Rose_Thorne, Jan 12th at 1:43 AM (modified Jan 12th at 1:47 AM)

I am running quite a few other mods so that might be the issue.
How am I suppossed to make the gold alloy nuggets? You mentioned that I would need to make those to get the ingots but the nuggets dont have any recipe to get them besides chiseling other ancient gold stuff in my handbook. I also looked at your screenshot for the ancient gold ingot handbook page and mine looks completely different.
here are screenshots of the ways to get the bits in the handbook and the ingot page
https://imgur.com/a/mrtyNey
EDIT: yes I have 1.1.4 downloaded and do you have any idea what types of mods might conflict with one? I have another mod called forlorn additions that also adds forlorn hope armor but I dont think it would affect the ingots or bits from this mod since it only adds armor

Octaninc , Jan 11th at 11:59 AM

https://imgur.com/a/6Qy6O2F

 

indeed its strange that you cant see the recipies. maybe other mods are in conflict. what mods are you running?

cause it should look like in thew screena, and u have 1.1.4?

Rose_Thorne, Jan 11th at 10:14 AM

The ancient gold has no recipe though, so I cant make any

Octaninc , Jan 10th at 9:07 PM

its in your screen. on ancient powder screnshot. alloy for ancient gold nugget. just make 100 units of it and pour it inot ingot mold

 

Rose_Thorne, Jan 10th at 7:09 PM (modified Jan 10th at 7:10 PM)

https://imgur.com/a/q9nA6Ag 
I think that link should work? It shows screenshots of my handbook

Rose_Thorne, Jan 10th at 7:07 PM

Octaninc How do you make the ancient gold using the ancient powder? There is no way to make the bar according to the handbook and there is also no way to make the bits besides deconstucting the other ancient gold stuff
The same applies to the meteor powder
it wont let me attach screenshots for some reason

Octaninc , Jan 10th at 5:21 PM

 

 

I quite like how it turned out but I still need to finish I dont even remeber what

https://imgur.com/a/HfbdEEw

Octaninc , Jan 10th at 4:54 PM (modified Jan 10th at 5:11 PM)

I didnt play vs recently maybe the new update broke something. I will look into that

 

 

edit: I checked everything works just fine.

for bonding powder you need to dissolve it in water in barrels to make ancient powder and its also part of the hardened meteoric iron alloy. and meteoric powder is part of that alloy. currently its only used to make the spear but I made and armor that requires it and maybe i will do an update to release it dunno when

 

Rose_Thorne, Jan 10th at 5:08 AM

Hey so I have been having issues with the mod in my worlds. There is no way to make the ancient gold or hardened meteoric iron that I can find. The bonding powder is smelted into itself, and has no recipe to craft ancient gold, and the meteoric powder also just smelts into itself and cannot be made into the bars.

Octaninc , Jun 25th 2025 at 2:43 PM

it was not meant to be worn with chainmail, its my bad I didnt disable it. maaybe I will change it

Gourgandin, Jun 24th 2025 at 9:25 PM

with combat overhaul, some pieces glitch with all your armors



Octaninc , May 20th 2025 at 5:41 PM

Resserfi what is wrong with it?

Resserfi, May 20th 2025 at 4:10 PM

Looks like hardened meteoric iron spear is kinda bugged...

Montcalm, May 20th 2025 at 1:09 PM

that would be pretty cash money of you

 

Octaninc , May 17th 2025 at 8:42 PM

Um I cant make the models bigger cause then all armor would look way bulkier and I definitly wont do it but instead I will ask maltiez cause I am pretty sure there is a way to patch this so when the armor is worn the armor underneath is hidden and the problem will no longer be an issue

Montcalm, May 17th 2025 at 12:24 PM

@Octaninc (ok clearly i dont know how to mention someone) These models are lovely, well done.

I wanted to bring to your attention that when using the armour layering system from combat overhaul the other armours clip through most of the model, which is a tragedy.

How much work is it to fix something like that?

WolfWarrior, May 7th 2025 at 9:21 PM

I understand, thank you.

Octaninc , May 7th 2025 at 8:02 PM

one alloy is ancient gold that is required to make the armors and second one is steel tier alloy that is required to make 1 weapon for now but i am in the middle of making armor that requires it. But its not a bad idea to expand the uses for it to falxes and maybe other weapons

WolfWarrior, May 7th 2025 at 7:47 PM

what are the alloys added? and are they only used for the forlorn hope armor or could they be used for something else like a falx?

Octaninc , Apr 27th 2025 at 10:20 PM

fixed

Resserfi, Apr 27th 2025 at 5:10 PM

Yay thanks!!!!

 

Octaninc , Apr 27th 2025 at 4:59 PM

Well. I forgot to add it .I will drop the update in like 3hours  then with the repair recipe aaaand new variant of the spear using new material.

 

 

Resserfi, Apr 27th 2025 at 4:26 PM

I have a question: why forlon healer doesnt has a repair recipe?

NiclAss, Apr 26th 2025 at 8:13 PM

Octaninc

If you want get in contact with me on dc I think I could add a forlorn hope randomizer so you or I could patch your items into that one so if you mod is active alongside betterruins your items can spawn in those randomizers aswell.

Octaninc , Apr 26th 2025 at 8:06 PM

BobEdJones nope 2 totally diffrent mods but I dont think there are going to be any conflicts bettween the 2.

_MagnusTheGreat_ Yup i learned how to code in json by borrowing and looking at others code XD

 

Rose_Thorne, Apr 26th 2025 at 8:01 PM

Octaninc I mean hey "borrowing" code is a staple for every programmer :3

BobEdJones, Apr 26th 2025 at 7:53 PM

Is this compatible with Forlorn Additions

Octaninc , Apr 26th 2025 at 7:51 PM

yea its more like i need time to build them or alterantivly ask the better ruins guys If I can just "borrow" theirs and change it to be more forlorn hope XD

Rose_Thorne, Apr 26th 2025 at 7:49 PM

Octaninc Oh alright, is it also sold by the luxury trader? Also if you manage to figure that out that would be awesome!

Octaninc , Apr 26th 2025 at 7:41 PM

for now also from trader for a goooood price. I hope in the near future I will figure out a way to get them to spawn in ruins and make so if u have better ruins mod this "special recipe" items will be as reward for their questline

Rose_Thorne, Apr 26th 2025 at 7:39 PM

@Octaninc How do you get the Forlorn Proportions Table? I know the envelope should be obtainable from luxury traders but how do you get the Table for the Ancient Powder Bonding Mix recipe?

Octaninc , Apr 18th 2025 at 2:18 PM

yea sure

Blackmare, Apr 18th 2025 at 2:15 PM

Octaninc  Would it be okay if used your shapes and textures in my npc mods? I am currently working on some factions, one being Forlorn Hope and your armors and weapons would help make them more varied in looks.

Octaninc , Apr 17th 2025 at 9:21 PM

I know that the new armor icons are bugged but i have no idea how to repair it

i also think the armors might be too op so feedback would be appriciated

 

Rose_Thorne, Apr 15th 2025 at 3:34 PM

Oh that would be cool, always love when crafting recipes arent in the 3x3 crafting grid. If you make it peaceable on the ground you might be able to have it spawn as part of the ruin but that would require you to make a new ruin like what Better Ruins does. I am not a modder though so that is just my guess.

Octaninc , Apr 15th 2025 at 3:11 PM

yea I agree I was planning to add some kind of barrel crafting so u need to add specific amount of something to get it, but latly I dont have time to do that but I will get to it. Also I wanted that there is a chance so forlorn powder reciepe can be found in forlorn ruins but i have no idea ho to make something spawn in specific ruin

 

Rose_Thorne, Apr 15th 2025 at 2:57 PM

@Octaninc Oh alright I just wasn't sure how rare it was supposed to be and I couldn't find it in my tests so I figured I would just mention it. I am running a lot of mods and a number of them add items to the luxury trader so it is more diluted than normal so maybe that is why I didn't see anything. I would recommend adding an alternative recipe because relying on RNG on a trader that is already rare makes it a bit frustrating in my opinion. Great mod otherwise!

Octaninc , Apr 15th 2025 at 10:45 AM

they are indeed quite rare but I got them on my singleplayer and server normally. if its a bug I dont have any idea how to fix it. its like 15 lines of code to add forlorn envelope to the trader list to I think its totally random how often they sell it. Also I know obtaining it is a pain so i will probably add alternative way to get it.

Rose_Thorne, Apr 15th 2025 at 5:39 AM

Hey, I did some testing to try to get some of the envelopes, but after spawning like 30 luxury merchants, none of them had it. What are the chances it is in their inventory? The handbook also doesn't list it as being sold or obtained in any way so I am not sure if it is just bugged but it does not seem to be obtainable. 

quihyr, Mar 16th 2025 at 11:48 AM

Just found out about the vanilla Forlorn Hope stuff, and I love it. And then I found this mod that adds more, simply amazing!

Darkx, Mar 4th 2025 at 6:28 AM

I don't see a git for bug reporting. 

Current bug. The melting temperature is 1320 °C, and the handbooks say 1060 °C. To smelt it you have to heat it once, then stick it back and reheat it to 1320c

Update. I see you have already patched this. thank you

 

Dwem, Mar 2nd 2025 at 9:12 AM

you should add the weapon tag btw.

Gourgandin, Feb 27th 2025 at 3:33 AM

In the mod there is a simple exoskeleton and an armored version (iron, meteoric iron, steel) It would be cool to have a forlorn version if possible 😁

With special effect, perhaps

Octaninc , Feb 26th 2025 at 7:54 PM

u mean forlorn exoskeleton? Well I dont play on this mod but will look into it now I am amaking heavy verison of forlorn armor

 

Gourgandin, Feb 26th 2025 at 7:29 PM

Please

Exoskeleton version to be a forlorn hope monster 😁 

https://mods.vintagestory.at/exoskeletons

DUCATISLO, Feb 23rd 2025 at 4:34 PM

pretty cool

Octaninc , Feb 23rd 2025 at 2:24 PM

oh i see the combat overhaul. I will fix it in a minute

Sodon, Feb 23rd 2025 at 1:06 AM

Woah.

Gourgandin, Feb 23rd 2025 at 12:52 AM

Please make an exoskeleton version 😁

Aodhwyn, Feb 22nd 2025 at 8:33 PM

respect on the hussar style, still waiting for someone to make some epic heavy knight style forlorn. i'd make some myself but i dont have a inkling on how to make them lolol

cheese_collector, Feb 22nd 2025 at 6:15 PM

heh, boob armor

Octaninc , Feb 22nd 2025 at 5:38 PM

I dont rly know how to get it to spawn on armor stands so its crafted from prestine forlone. maybe in the future I will try for it to be in the better ruins forlon structure or something

Mawg, Feb 22nd 2025 at 2:42 PM

F yeah i love this, can this be crafted or just found?
