Do you recommend this mod?

  • Great API

    Aside from what The32bitguy said, and making sure its JIT-able, I would like to suggest some very simple wording changes that improve clarity on any mods with armor or weapons.

    • armor_heal should be renamed to armor_blockchance (similar to all RPGs), with cumulative armor set values being capped at 100, and adding a percent symbol in the UI.
    • armor_use should actually reflects how many uses the piece has, instead of the inverse approx(65535/armor_use), where higher numbers lead to faster item degredation. Renaming to armor_uses, or if you still want to keep the inverse wear relationship something like armor_weakness, armor_fragility, or armor_frailty.
    • Armor 'Level' uses armor_groups = {fleshy=##}, , where each 5 points adds a level. However, I found no relationship between armor protection and these values. In my testing 0 on an armor piece reduced Oerkki damage from 4 to 3, but so did all values tested through 100.
    • Adding armor_resistance as a clamped gaussian modifier on armor_blockchance would provide a useful feature, allowing partial or excess HP dmg blocking instead of all or nothing (reflected to attacker if excess). Reflection can be clamped to 10 or 20%, or be configurable, or be a full-set attribute. Large integer or float HP values work well with this.
    • After renaming armor_heal, it would benefit players to add a real armor_heal attribute that slowly regenerates health over time.
    • The UI display of armor_fire level should include a tooltip or description of what fire damage sources it protects against at the current level.

    It shouldn't be too much effort to add a couple lines to transition things while keeping backwards compatibility.

    Update: I also tried various armor_groups = {fleshy} values on sharks and other creatures that are listed as having fleshy damage groups. Armor pieces only reduce damage from 5 to 4 regardless of armor group settings.

    Appreciate the read. Ciao!

  • Dependable and Even Works on Smart Inventory!

    Title says all, a great choice for servers where stable and quality code is most needed.

  • Good mod, great for servers and singleplayer

    The title says it all. One of my mods also makes use of the API to register an extra armor type

    A complete mod that is very well documented. It is hence quite easy to create lightweight dependant mods with nice functionalities.

    A must

    This is a much needed mod to EVERY MTG server, and singleplayer world. MTG is just bland without it.

  • Very good models and API

    The models are very well done as well as the API. It is something considering adding to a survival server.

  • Is there even a comparable mod?

    Armor is an excellent enhancement to any survival game. I don't know of any other mod that can be compared to this.

    Another essential mod

    This adds so much to the game, you can not play a Luanti survival focused game without it!

    Awesome!

    The third most popular and coolset mod on ContentDB! That's amazing! API is remarkably user-friendly! Even those who are new to it can quickly grasp its functionality. You can register armor pieces in seconds of coding! That's actually pretty good, and I like it so much! Shields are great additional too! You can also upgrade them, like: Cactus and Wood Shield. It may help newbies on server be more protectful and safetier! Even mod is supports some skins mod, and optimize for them, which makes life easier!

    Greatest and useful api ever in my opinion!

    This mod slaps!!!!! Instead of flat inventory icons pretending to be armor, you actually see what you're wearing—helmets, chestplates, boots, the whole deal. It adds a cool RPG vibe, especially in multiplayer. Plus, it works with skins, so you don’t just look like a tin can.

    It’s simple: armor that looks like armor. Way more fun, way more stylish.

  • Great mod, definitely essential for pvp servers.

    This is the ultimate armor mod. The recipes are simple, and the armor is well-designed, and I have not found many in-game bugs related to this. 100% recommended. Good job stu

    This mod does what it says. You can craft armor that protects you from damage. It works very well.

    I'd feel naked without it.

    Essential mod. Where there are swords the armour will soon follow.

    It is odd though that bronze has heal and steel not. I believe that's the default (I've seen countless variations of the mod on so many servers) anyways. Seems backwards since Bronze comes earlier than steel. But not a complaint since it actually gives bronze a longer use time. Oh and one does look better in it than steel. ; )

    Adds dozens of useful armors

    My only complaint is why is there gold armor instead of mese? mese is significantly more iconic and gold is actually a terrible material to make armor out of, but hey, at least gold is actually somewhat "useful" now.

    Shields

    I like it, but sometimes it causes errors in mods that depend upon it mostly alien tools. Give it a go and see what you find.

    God bless you!

    Best Armor Mod

    This is by far the best and most complete armor mod that I have seen. And it's nic that you can extend it by using it's api. Been using it in MTG for months now and not had a single issue.

    Gut programmiert

    Ich finde dass es ein sehr guter mod ist aber ich habe herausgefunden dass wenn man ein Rüstungsteil rehtsklickt mit der maus dann Verschwindet es und wenn man links_klickt dann verschwiedet es eben falls. Aber sonst binn ich sehr überzeugt dass andere mit diesen mod spaß haben werden.

  • Great for mods

    This mod is excellent for creating mods if you are a beginner especially since making an entirely new mechanic can be dificult. I would, however like if you could right click on an armor stand with a piece of armor in you hand to add it.

  • Good but needs fixing.

    The mod is really good but the problem I'm having with this mod is the model for the player is wrong since the body length is too tall which makes the pixels look rectangular instead of being square like (The legs also have the same problem). Please fix.

  • Outdated motion animation of character

    A year ago, with the release of 5.4.0, the animation of the character's movement was improved. And I personally liked it. But it would be good to change the outdated animation of the player's walk to an improved one in the "3d armor" mod, because the old animation has remained. Even in the most recent release. I will be very grateful when you fix it.

  • Not using entities

    Using entities would make this mod much easier to be worked with. Armors are quite an important thing and I don't feel like to encourage a mod with legacy code.
