Really hoping for an update soon i would love to play with this

I hope this gets an update too, it looks sick

any sign of a 1.20.12 update by any chance?

Lastelle ok, thank you for the help

This is to be expected since the mod is outdated but thank you for the report SleepyManti

the game crashed when i threw a spear and made this eror mesige (sory for bad spelling)

Really hoping for an update!

yea @Lastelle you should uptade to 1.20

Looking forward to using this in 1.20 alongside the dinosaur and mammoth mods 

not really, but in the upcoming months Calami

any idea when this will be updated to 1.20.x? last time i used it in an earlier 1.20 version the cannons dissapeared when i interacted with them

Does this mod still work or nah?

really hope you update this mod so that we can kill drifter bastards rather than servers.

So... Firing the cannon kills servers

Hope you keep updating this mod

Thanks a lot, I will look at it in a couple of days MatsumotoErwin unowned

My game also crashes when the shot is being fired. The crash log would suggest that there's a problem with the projectile's physics, or at least it said something about the "weight" of the projectile. Lastelle

when i try to shot the weapons they crass the game

I really have no idea, I haven't got my hands on 1.20 so I can't tell A_Whisper

Lastelle Is there anything off the top of your head that you think may have broken in 1.20? I'm getting ready to launch a new server which I hope to use this on, so I plan on doing testing of various mods anyway. If there's something you think may have broken based on what you've seen released in 1.20, just let me know and I can try it out in addition to whatever else I'll be testing.

So I'd really appreciate if there are any known issues :)

I will finally be a bit more available following this wednesday :)
I haven't checked what broke with 1.20, if there isn't too much work to do, there might be an update in the following weeks
LiothTheBrave SCompton

Update to 1.20.4 please!

SCompton Haha, that could certainly be seen as rude. I'd maybe keep talk like that off the forums because I'm not sure if its allowed.

Lastelle
Hope this is not brasen or rude, but if this mod were to get updated within the next two weeks, I am going to donate 50 $ This mod is amazing and I cant wait to see your future work!

@Lastelle, that's amazing! Daym, I can't think of what I would need a cannon to shoot... BUT there is almost nothing I would not shoot with a cannon.

There was a limber block that could be changed into an entity if you brought two bighorn sheep neerby and right clicked using a hammer. You could do the same with wheeled artillery pieces if you lead the sheep that drew the limber nearby to attach it to the limber. Then you could lead the sheep to move your limbered gun to the right place, then right click with a hammer to deploy the gun and/or the limber
Nyklone

Limbering Mechanic?!?! how did that use to work?

Hewholurks This mod is not made by Maltiez so it requiring Combat Overhaul would be strange. Even then it would only make the mod better because it would add more depth to the damage mechanics. 

When this is updated if it is. Please don't make it require combat overhaul like they did with the other firearms.

Oh, ok. I'll wait then. Thanks for responding back.

Then that's the issue, the latest version is made for 1.19.8 Storyteller365

@Lastelle, I happen to be in version 1.20.04.

What version of Vintage Story are you using? The mod isn't up to date Vmkrop Storyteller365

cannon and grenades caused me to crash LMAO

Not to be a downer and all, or interrupt the author of this fine mod, I've downloaded all of the recommended items that will help the mod, and booted up, set down a 4 pounder (as well as a siege gun) to test it out. When I wanted to fire the gun, it just... crashed for all tense and purpose. Any idea why this is happening? Please and Thank you. (If you want, I can send a copy of the report that I recieved).

cool thanks for the answer 

I'm a bit busy with other projects so once I'll get some free time to dedicate on modding :)
Sir_Bank

Lastelle 1.20.1 when?

Lastelle also you got me looking at my old models again frick haha, im to tired to get back in the game of try and fail.

Oh OK thank you :)
Featherduster

If you ever do want to do some breechloaders let me know, I had some mostly finished models back when I was chattng with Maltiez and tryng to work on an addone before life and other things kinda messed that up, as for interfering he was lazer focused on balance and not really planning to expand it really any, as well as it being built a bit for addons, but me being a tap too dumb for that level of coding beyond "copy paste, and change a few numbers and links".

Lastelle Can't wait for the 1.20 update! would also love to see some actual guns like Kit mentioned, nothing crazy but like the next step up from Maltiez's mod. Percussion weapons would be fun!

kitsushadow I'm not sure if I'll add some, and I don't want to interfere with Maltiez's firearm mod, so if I do, don't expect arquebuses and muskets, but maybe some cartridge rifles

With Firearms mod integrating Combat Overhaul is there a chance we can get just some guns through this mod? Would really like a gun mod that doesn't require a combat overhaul.

DrLulu That means a lot to me! Glad you're loving it :)

One of the best mod, i especially like 120mm canons. Well done !

Lemurek Are the available actions not showing when you look at a cannon? If they do and it's still not clear I will try to write a guide for the handbook.
Otherwise, guns that are not breechloading follow that pattern: clean the barrel by holding right click with a ramrod, then put one of the matching ammunition as well as a bagged charge, then load the content by holding right click with a ramrod, finally right click the barrel while sneaking with a primer in order to fire the gun. If the gun is breechloading, you can skip the cleaning and loading part. To change elevation use a wrench and hold right click to increase the elevation or right click + sprint key to decrease. To change the orientation, hold sneak and right click to align the gun with your viewing angle

Is there a wiki/guide to how to load, fire and elevate your cannon?
I could use one

GThane I think that comes from the fact that I trigger the explosion on the surface at the player's foot (so that you take all the damage caused by the blast) and not under the mine dirt mound :)

Not to be nitpicky, but the blast radius of the landmines is 3 blocks, not 6. But fantastic update, such a cool concept.

Snowfall94 Glad you're loving it :)
I'm currently adding hand grenades, they should be added some other bug fixes to the 0.1.0 in a few days

I love the landmines, finally some defenses that I don't have to watch over or just have line of sight on it.

Do you have any plans for hand thrown grenades? 

Thorin48 Oh sorry, I've noticed some part of the mod description weren't saved when I updated them? Anything related to gas (gas mask and gas shell) require the use of the Chemistrylib mod. You can still use them but the recipes are disabled when this mod is not there

I do not see a recipe for Gas shells or Gas masks

Madman2429 should be fixed for next update :)
TumbleTrash you currently can't cast barrels, you need to smith them

How do I craft these, I might be blind but I don't see any way to cast things like the barrel.

Reporting a bug. It seems some crafting recipies that involve a knife aren't set to keep the knife. The specific recipie my server encountered was for the goad. 

Oh you're right, my bad. I think I misread so-so. Thanks.

LadyBlakeHammer Hello! I think you're mixing up my mods with Maltiez's :)
You may ask him for that in the Vintage Story discord, there is a post dedicated to his firearm mod in the mods channel!

Could you happen to add a weaker form of musket rifle made of the same tin-bronze as the pistol, so there is an early stage rifle, with the pistol? I have a hunter friend who'd love to use it.

Otherwise, we'd just be using crossbows till steel. Regardless, no harm done if the answer is no. ♥

we're back

hope this mod gets continued on into the 1.20 update, it'd be amazing to see these working on boats 

I see, I can take over updating this mod if you don't mind, I haven't had issues with the mod and I've used it on the most recent version so I think I would just start working on QoL and new features. Lastelle

DepressedPepe I don't know if anything broke in particular after the 1.19 update, I know there's an issue with machine guns not dealing damage (according to another modder I simply commented a line that should have been), but besides that I don't think there are bugs to fix, but surely QOL features for aiming, shell sound effect being in some case too loud according to some players

I've been thinking about potentially trying to continue this mod, I was wondering what exactly needed to be updated so that I could start putting together a list of things I need to do.

I love it ! I get that you can't expect a huge accuracy from an old technology but, i feel that the trajectories are fucked up, it took me at least 25 shots with a perfectly aligned rifled field gun to hit a large wall at 30 blocks. I even got shots that went over the wall with the canon nearly pointing to the floor. Otherwise great !

I will maybe get back to it after releasing the early access of the game I'm working on, otherwise I'm willing to transfer the ownership of the mod page to anyone willing to continue it.
Anyway, you can still post the logs whenever you encounter a crash with newer versions (if it even loads), that would still speed up the process if it happens!
NOREALGRUGS

Will update be possible?

Centerion There is an unused function inside every artillery piece to automaticaly turn and lay to hit a given target based on the blast power of the loaded ammunition and fire power of the piece, that may come handy

Royal_X5, think it be possible to use the game map to target with the larger mortars? 

Sure thing, will hit you up later today or tomorrow Lastelle

If you need clarifications about the mod structure, you can send me a message via discord
Royal_X5

I will most likely fork the mod and fix the issues with the current version (bugs, inconsistencies), it will take me a bit though as I first want to gather all the issues and resolve a good enough number of them. Will check this thread but until I publish the fork, if you have a particular issue with the mod that's frustrating you just ping me here I guess.

I most likely won't get back to modding, so unless someone decides to fork the mod, the mod will be discontinued.
alucard666

will you be updating this mod to 1.19.3?

I've got an issue with the mod : when shooting with artillery on animals they become unkillable. Like they do not get damaged by melee or ranged attacks. So i have to turn into creative mode and use lava.

I'm sorry you have issues, this never occured to me, I guess either it is caused by latest update or maybe somehow you managed to put unwanted ammunition. Are the help bubbles not appearing? More archaic type of guns require cleaning before adding ammunition, then cleaned and finally fired, and not all guns use the same ammunitions. All of that is displayed with help bubbles but They aren't the most obvious since they only show models and not names. Sylvi

I am taking a break from modding so I don't know when I will add those elemtns. JStarling3

It would be cool to add barbed wire. although it would be a bit much to ask for with whats already been added so far, some military uniforms would be cool as well

Really cool mod I love seeing these early industrial armaments. The models to way they function are all done great.
Very thematically fitting to the style of the game. A guide on how to operate them would be nice, after messing around for awhile I can't figure out how to use most of them. And after getting one of the heavy cannons to fire, it left behind a cloud of fire/smoke that doesn't want to go away.

Love the pixel art

Heya,

Got a problem in multiplayer, the rotation of the gatling gun don't work for other player looking at ^^

Ragolution

Not yet. Until then you could use patching to disable gas shell recipes by adding "enabled: false" at the end of them (assets/rustyshell/recipes/grid/shell.json)

Are there any configs to disable particular elements of the mod? For example, I don't particularly want to have players gassing each other... yet. 

RuneScholar

I've just tried that on my side and shake lasts for about one second and has litlle intensity. Is that happening with every guns / projectiles? And are you playing in multiplayer or singleplayer?
Thanks for the report!

Screen shake, at least in my game, seems a little intense. It goes on for minutes just from one shot and jerks the screen everywhere. I do have other mods so I don’t know what is causing this but I thought I’d make a comment in case other people experience it.

Gas question: can you also deal with it by standing next to a lit firepit? It was a common method in WW1 as the burning fire created a "chimney" of hot air that pulled the gas away, creating a safe zone next to the fire.

@Samino2 Thanks mate!

Lastelle Thanks a lot a little late ^^' Your mod is fantastic and make us see all the possibility of Vintage Story modding. Keep it up!

@Samino2 You need to hold right click with a hammer and have two bighorn sheep male nearby. Then you do the same with a wheeled gun nearby. You can use the goad to move draft animals around (when they have a limber, you need to select the right most animal to move the carriage in the wanted direction)

Hi, how to use the limber?

Not crashing but some major fps impact on multiplayer, for now I'll just use it on singleplayer

@Dj3dzx what kind of issue did you have? You can send me the crash log and I'll fix the bug as soon as possible 

I'm looking forward to see a stable version of this mod! Would love to have it on my world to deal with those nasty drifters

game crashed when i clicked on the cannon
This mod is very cool and will fit perfect with my musket mod. but for now i will keep it uninstalled until its more stable and less prone to crashing

Before the projectile hit the water, my game crashed.I think this is bug.

How to make a smoothbore barrel? that's not very clear

Wonderfull mod, well balanced, this is for sure going to be an even greater mod in future

Suggestion: please make it auto-craftable in helve hammer, produce cannonballs is a pain xd

This looks amazing, good job, looking forward to this mod's future <3

Now a suggestion: Besides maybe PvP i dont see much use for this in singleplayer. Maybe the addition of a bigger monster type enemy would be beneficial, they could be giant stationary worms that shoot out acid and spawn other critters, and they can only be killed by these big guns, or maybe a large really slow armored drifter that can only be killed by firearms and cannons. These could incentivize the player to develop these guns and actually use them to get rid of an annoyance. But these creatures should not be too annoying or mobile to not force a player to make these guns, getting rid of them should be optional. 🤠

I love the old gunpowder weapons. Thanks!!

Wow this sounds insane, and a first project, no less?

I'm looking forward to this.
