Gotcha, will do

@Ribcage Please make a screenshot of that error and send it to me on discord if you see it again, might help me actually narrow that issue down.

Is this still being worked on? Sometimes an error referencing void shields just pops on screen and space marines become invincible, I’m not sure if this is a known issue?

@The Exile You can actually change all textures and the boot up text with the addon settings so you wouldnt even need to reupload the mod or make your own version of it. You can, I give you permission to, but you dont need to.

If you make the textures you need to pack them as a mod and load it. Then you can input the filepath in the addon settings in their respective sections. For a custom boot up message via addon settings you need to define a specific variable as the text you want and check a setting.

If you want further instructions on specific things message me on discord or send me a friend request on steam.

Based on previous comments it seems I should be able to set up a custom version of the loading screen text seen on boot up and to change parts of the UI eg repurpose the mod for a more generic sci fi mission setting. Is this correct and if so is it possible to get a general summary of the steps involved? Love your work but my players are doing a non 40k campaign ATM.

@ReaverInvictus There is a field and a full repair kit added by the mod. If you have ace its a self interaction, if you dont its a scrollwheel action. The field kit repairs up to half, the full kit repairs the entire suit. You need to be engineer to use the full kit.

what repairs the armor

Hey do you have a guide on how to add Black Carapace to armour that doesn't have it by default?
Akaviri13  [author] 6 Mar @ 6:45am 
@masterharry Probably not, it has been happening for a while.
masterharry 5 Mar @ 4:06pm 
Could the invincibility have something to do with the most recent ACE update?
Akaviri13  [author] 28 Jan @ 10:34am 
@SleepDeprived Its not spawning with a melee weapon. Its some kind of mod conflict I think but I still dont know which combination of mods is triggering this and at this point I doubt Ill ever find out. But I know from tests that it doesnt only affect my mod when it occurs but every script that uses the classname wide init eventhandlers, like webknights hit reactions.
LackingSleep 28 Jan @ 10:18am 
Did some testing, spawning with a melee weapon doesn't make you invincible. I tested it in antistasi, though, so it may be different? Idk
LackingSleep 23 Jan @ 8:29am 
Question, how do you self repair your own armor? I mainly play solo and I can't seem to repair it, at all.
The Exile 1 Dec, 2024 @ 3:58am 
cheers for the feedback ill hold off for now but if my guys end up trying next year I will let u know how we go. seriously love the mod mate.
Akaviri13  [author] 30 Nov, 2024 @ 1:21pm 
@The Exile You can show different hud overlays for different people but its a bit more complicated. Everyone who wants a different overlay from the space marines has to change the filepath in the settings manually. The setting is client side unless you force it. Different overlays for different helmets isnt technically supported yet so youll have to do it like that unfortunately.
The Exile 30 Nov, 2024 @ 12:30pm 
Hey Akaviri13, love the mod thanks for your work on it mate. Can I ask for clarification I wanted to use this with the Solar Auxilia mod after I read you can make your own visor textures I have a few members in my community that should be able to figure out the digital art side but don't wanna break any mods or step on toes. Ultimately I'd be running events with both solar Aux and Space Marines so would need the the visior shown to depend on which helemt/skeleton a player was using. I also assume that changing the armor status figure in the bottom left of the HUD would be inadvisable or impossible. Would the above be possible with the current state of your mod or am I better off postponing these ideas till a later point? Also do you have a Patreon your work is seriously amazing and my players are loving this mod in particular.
Akaviri13  [author] 26 Nov, 2024 @ 11:09am 
@Alpharius The icons for the armor will still display but you can just turn the icon colors to have 0 alpha so they are invisible in the addon settings if you want.
Akaviri13  [author] 26 Nov, 2024 @ 11:08am 
@Alpharius Yes, there is a cosmetic only option in the Black Carapace - General addon settings, fairly close to the top.
Alpharius 26 Nov, 2024 @ 9:38am 
hey Akaviri13, is there any way to have the HUD without the armor system?
Heartache ♡ 7 Nov, 2024 @ 8:26pm 
mod is sick
wanted something to buff space marines they seemed a bit too weak
this is perfect
Akaviri13  [author] 13 Oct, 2024 @ 11:42am 
@Jinterceptor That is actually pretty much already set up in the code, I just have to add the setting for the user to be able to change it.
Jinterceptor 12 Oct, 2024 @ 4:19am 
Hey Akaviri, any chance you'll be expanding the file paths to allow us to set different armour images depending on the mark of armour we're wearing?
Akaviri13  [author] 2 Oct, 2024 @ 3:23pm 
@LuckyShadowCat Not by default no. You can edit the overlay texture and put in a new filepath in the addon settings though.
LuckyShadowCat 2 Oct, 2024 @ 3:10pm 
Yo Akaviri13, Is there a clean version of the visor? One without the dirt and smudges for a clearer sight picture?
Akaviri13  [author] 29 Sep, 2024 @ 4:00pm 
@[1er R.C.C] TheKillian Im not gonna do it but if you want to make something like that based on this go ahead, I dont mind at all.
[1er R.C.C] TheKillian 29 Sep, 2024 @ 10:44am 
Hey Akaviri13, does this mlods could be adapted for Vehicle ? I'm more interested into trying make it Interface for Tau Battlesuit when you are inside a vehicle. Or could be just the Interface for any firewarrior helmet I guess ? What are you thinking?
Black-Jack 18 Sep, 2024 @ 5:45pm 
Is there a way to make it work with units spawned via the Sci-fi Support Plus drop pod insertion? Those units seem to be unaffected by it and die rather quick.
Akaviri13  [author] 18 Sep, 2024 @ 2:55pm 
@Artist Formerly Known as WeeWooM Dont think so. Black Carapace only supports normal human, space marine and terminator skeletons
Artist Formerly Known as WeeWooM 18 Sep, 2024 @ 2:46pm 
does the black carapace work with contemptor dreadnoughts?
Amplelime885885 17 Aug, 2024 @ 7:37am 
hey mate im constantly invinsible. ive removed melee weapons from my loadout and it hasnt fixed it. all of my mates are running melee weapons and havent had the issue im the only one. any ideas?
★B-i-x-i★ 20 Jul, 2024 @ 11:58am 
ok thanks dawg ill try that
Akaviri13  [author] 20 Jul, 2024 @ 5:00am 
@★B-i-x-i★ You need to wear armor that is in the list in the settings. The basic TIOW space marine gear and some others are included by default. If you wear a space marine helmet and a uniform from TIOW you should get the option with the scroll wheel to activate the hud. The armor system itself activates on its own but you need to activate the hud seperately with the scroll wheel option.

If you need more help feel free to join my discord or add me on steam and Ill help you.
★B-i-x-i★ 19 Jul, 2024 @ 8:55pm 
I tried using it, it doesnt work even when using the scrollwheel for me, are you able to make a tutorial video?
Akaviri13  [author] 22 Apr, 2024 @ 10:37am 
@Divotdog Add all their gear to the system via the addon settings. There is no way to just apply it to everyone, sorry.
Divotdog 22 Apr, 2024 @ 10:33am 
how would i ensure that the visor appears for all my players on the server.
I Am Super Soldier 10 Apr, 2024 @ 6:26pm 
Nvm found answer by looking further in comments, love this mod btw
I Am Super Soldier 10 Apr, 2024 @ 6:26pm 
Is it possible to self-repair space marine armor on the field?
Akaviri13  [author] 26 Mar, 2024 @ 8:55am 
@CaptainHairyLegs You sure the system is actually running on the unit you are shooting? Is the setting to disable "non cosmetic features" ticked or unticked?
CaptainHairyLegs 26 Mar, 2024 @ 8:53am 
Thanks for the reply! Yeah I made a new profile to do that haha. But now im having issues were even when the resistance is set to 12. As to cancel lasgun shots. The wearer of the armour gets loads of bruises. Which I dont seem to be able to fix.
Akaviri13  [author] 26 Mar, 2024 @ 8:46am 
@CaptainHairyLegs You can reset a setting to default by clicking the arrow next to it.
CaptainHairyLegs 26 Mar, 2024 @ 7:43am 
Does anybody maybe have an addon settings preset? I seem to have ruined mine.
Akaviri13  [author] 6 Mar, 2024 @ 3:33am 
@Dobrynya You dont need to edit my mod for that. You can replace all textures in the addon settings
Brentwood 11 Nov, 2023 @ 5:36pm 
@Akaviri13 Got it! Sent you a friend req. on Discord, we don't have P&C loaded as we found out it was causing issues.
Akaviri13  [author] 11 Nov, 2023 @ 4:06pm 
@Brentwood Sure, just hit me up. Same name as on here. But the invincibility is caused by certain other mod authers using a removealleventhandlers command. I cant fix it easily. Its the psyker and chaplain mods as far as I know.
Brentwood 11 Nov, 2023 @ 3:06pm 
@Akaviri13 Hey! My unit's running into invincibility issues w/ Black Carapace, would we be able to chat on Discord?
Akaviri13  [author] 4 Nov, 2023 @ 2:50am 
@your dad after six beers I might make some. The problem is switching between loyalist and chaos marine huds. I could have a toggle in the addon settings. I would prefer not to add another set of lists, its already too many.
Ribcage 3 Nov, 2023 @ 10:11pm 
Do you plan on chaos space marine huds?
Brother-Captain HoneybadgerCZ 25 Oct, 2023 @ 3:12am 
Thanks it works nicely, Keep up the good work.
Akaviri13  [author] 25 Oct, 2023 @ 2:56am 
@Brother-Captain HoneybadgerCZ Yes! Set the damage theshold to 8-10. Lasguns do 12 damage per shot. So setting it to 10 would make it do almost no damage.

Have a look at the addon settings, if you need help with them let me know.
Brother-Captain HoneybadgerCZ 25 Oct, 2023 @ 2:12am 
Is there a way to make lasguns to make almost no dmg to armor?
