Yeah okay i commented there as well and they said somethings changed that they will need to look over,

Wulff My mod doesn't touch anything related to Armory. The only thing related to CO that my mod DOES touch, is the falx. I specifically patch in a variant of my Meteoric Steel Falx that gets picked up by Combat Overhaul. This is being caused by another mod.

From the looks of it, the Meteoric Steel Compatibility mod.

Im getting a wall of red errors relating to the compatibility patch. the errors seem to be for every weapon

It's throwing console errors about grid recipes with chisel tools decorative anvil and  the mechanical schematic for better ruins atm

The finished anvil parts don't have their texture when being placed in the forge (reheating for assembly).

I'm not sure what exactly happened with the recipes because I remember going through the entire mod and changing everything from add to addmerge but it'll be fixed (again) in the next update.

Can confirm, smithing recipes are broken in 1.0.5. The smithing recipes patches should probably be using addmerge instead of add

With just the latest version of this mod on a fresh world I'm unable to craft regular steel tools/strips/etc (some items are still available). (Made a separate install just to isolate the issue)

Ezralyne Latest update re-enables the the Meteoric Steel Falx with Combat Overhaul. The version before enabled putting metal bits onto existing work items though there are some individuals who are stating that it's broken on their modded save files with 80+ mods so I suggest trying it out. I haven't found any issues with adding or removing my mod mid save yet.

Degen_Andi Ah I see, thanks for the info. I'll get back to the mod author with your insights see if there's anything they can do with the extra info. Any advice for them your end? Couldn't imagine it would be as simple as adding a wildcard their end lmao

Kripteekz So, because my mod simply expands the base game's files for everything except for the Steel Anvil Base/Top smithing recipe and the Falx Shape, all of those shape and texture paths are in the base game's .json files. The main problem .json files are the Knife, Axe, Shovel, Hoe, and Spear since they also have a stone variant. The way the vanilla .json files have some of their variants listed makes it difficult to easily patch those in. Essentially, I'd have to almost replace the entire .json (or large segments of the file) to make it work more easily but that would then make it very difficult for other mods to accurately patch those files since mine would change the full layout.

Hey, I just made a patch that adds support for all the CO/Armory stuff and also adds some armor using vanilla/CO meshes: https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/33210

Degen_Andi Thanks for reply :) Interestingly the ones you edited apart from the hoe seem to work at least spawning one in in creative. Trying to forge is the no go haha. Where are the shape and texture paths located? Was having a look through the files of your mod to see if I could do what you said but unable to locate. Only thing in shapes is the falx

Kripteekz So, what I've done in almost every tool instance is I've simply added my metal to the vanilla variant list of tools. This makes the base game do most of the work (Shapes, animations, gui transforms, hand transforms, etc.) There are a few instances where I had to change the base files a little more agressively than that (Falx, Axe, Shovel, Hoe, Knife) because of how the vanilla .json files were written. As long as the shape and texture paths for my metal are properly replaced they should work innately though I may have to add in a few tweaks myself before it's possible. With the new version that just dropped, who knows what I'll need to change with the mod.

Degen_Andi Hey man love the mod, plus amazing first go at modding :)

Was wondering if this can be made compatible with toolsmith? Is compatible in the way your mod can use the tool handles and bindings fine but isn't using the updated textures from reforged tools. Also Reforged Meteoric Steel doesn't seem to resolve that with toolsmith unfortunately. I reached out to the toolsmith mod author prior and they said might be difficult their end with how the part rendering is set up; if needs to be their end any advice would be appreciated too so I can get back to them on it, cheers in advance :3

Ezralyne So, the mod still functions with both of those mods, the only problems are with CO, the tools will do "neutral" damage since it isn't marked as a damage type, the Falx recipe breaks (Not sure why yet) and with smithing plus, the only incompatabilities is tool head aren't returned on tool break (Should be able to fix that easily before long) and you can't add metalbits to existing work items. I'll do my best to work on these features in the coming week.

Keeping an eye on this one, my server currently runs both Smithing Plus and CO +armory though lol, if the compatibilty issues are fixed I will be adding this

Hi, I like the idea of this mod a lot and was wondering if there's any chance of ever making it compatible the combat overhaul family of mods

Mr_J_Soda Upon further digging, there are no matching error logs when loading into a new world in a new instillation of 1.21.4 with only my mod installed. This means that some other mod is enabling the Steel Anvil Top and Steel Anvil Bottom in your load order.

Unnamed_Hero I'll be able to work on the mod in the next couple days. I've had a lot of things come up this week and I've been a little too busy to really sit down and see what needs changed lately.

Hi
I'm sorry, is it already possible to bet on 1.21.4 or have you not finished yet?

Degen_Andi Ah okay, thank you :)

Migo Yes, this server error is also thrown in 1.21.0, 1.21.1, and 1.21.2. This exception is happening because I have the metalblocks for Meteoric Steel disabled. They will be enabled later, once I finalize more textures. The reason this happens is because my mod patches base game files and adds all varaints through the base game's process. Because BetterRuins just pulls those assets, the hidden assets will cause flags but won't cause issues in-game. When a recipe cannot be resolved it simply doesn't generate THAT specific input/output.

Mr_J_Soda Since the 1.21.4 update is brand new, I'm unfamiliar with how the code changes and thus, how my mod reacts. All I can promise is to look into it but it sounds like they enabled the Steel Anvil parts according to this log.

When loading with 1.21.4 it has a json error for one of the recipes.

6.10.2025 20:55:21 [Server Error] Grid Recipe 'betterruins:recipes/grid/schematic-mechanical/mechanical.json': Output Block code game:metalblock-new-plain-meteoricsteel cannot be resolved

Looks like an issue with Better Ruins and this mod.

So I just booted up my game with this mod, and I got the following errors in the server-main/log.

This is exactly the sort of thing I've been looking for! Thank you so much :)

Meteoric Iron can be processed into Meteoric Steel via the cementation furnace. Same restrictions but 1. It requires a Steel Anvil which my mod enables the crafting recipe for the Steel Anvil Top and Steel Anvil Base ICountFrom0.

I think it's combat overhalls turn to figure out what to do with it, and possibly maintain a compatability patch.

I know that if this was designed to only be a combat overhall version, I wouldn't want it.  This is basically "vanilla".

So, how DO you steel the metroirite iron?  Same process as iron to steel?  Or some modifications?

compatible with combat overhaul?

Hello, could you make it compatible with the weapon mod ancien armory please ?

Just the other day I was talking about how this should be a thing. Very cool.

Roscati Yeah! That would be great!

Nice Mod, would love to get this over to Maltiez for CO compat

Neat idea

As a meteoric iron fan, steel would be fire. Keep up the good work, hope for a compatability patch for combat overhaul and armory!

FLINT AND meteoric STEEL!!!
