MOD IS NOT FUNCTIONAL ATM, IT WILL CRASH, WILL FIX LATER : P
Another rather simple mod, this will make the turret much more useful in later tiers... And most importantly, it will make it much MUCH cooler
In this mod, turrets will shoot green plasma, along with receiving a new firing sound so the turret doesn't sound like a plastic toy anymore. Also, some of its behavior and ranges have been changed.
Since turrets in this mod are much more lethal than the default ones, I had to adjust the crafting recipes for balance purposes, please tell me how I can balance it further.
Recipe
-2 Laser diodes (instead of 1)
-1 Circuit board
-8 Platinum bars (instead of 5)
-850 Pixels (instead of 500)
3D Printer
-1500 Pixels (instead of 1) (375 Scan cost)
Also, when you break them they drop as themselves rather than breaking apart in diodes and circuit boards, that didn't make sense in the first place... Why would somebody destroy his turret in order to place it somewhere else
Compatibility
This mod is compatible with anything that doesn't adjust turrets or their recipe:
-standingturret.object
-standingturret.recipe
The turret itself also works on servers once installed there (clients do not need the mod), although the crafting recipes will remain unaltered.
Installation
Just unpack in your mods folder, make sure you don't put the .zip in the mods folder or it won't work...
For quick testing, install this mod in exact the same way: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51891186/Tutorial.zip
Then start a new character and he will receive a standing turret as soon as you pick up the matter manipulator. I will be providing this "shortcut" separately for each of my future mods.
Future plans
-Improving long range aiming capabilities
-Improving Balance
-Perhaps finding a way to add a (server-friendly) muzzle flash
-A whole range of different turrets with different appearances shooting different things! (new mod though in that case)
Enjoy the lightshows at night and tell me how I can improve the mod!
This mod can be found active and in upgraded form on the windoom.com server (visit (and register at) www.windoom.com for the password), I will soon put the version we're using there on here as update + fix.
