…
the one gripe i have with this is it only repairs hull damage, i would love for it to do shields too, since my mod is different to all others that ive seen.

This one is regular feature/bug of freelancer to cutoff shields before repair is started.

Thats why i have proposed to make only “damage = -40000” parameter because in this case:

shield must go down along hull is go up
instead of
shield goes down and only after hull go up

such a large number would instantly de-shield any of my ships,

and as the “shields” in my mod, do not regenerate once lost this isnt a good idea.

the shield bar in my mod is representive of armour plating, and therefore can not simply regenerate without docking for repairs, i was hoping to have the repairgun work on shields like hull, so that the armour can be regained on the fly.

sadly not it seems… so i will be making all shields immune to my repair weapon so that it cant have a negative effect on team mates.

Yeah. I’ve tried just with damage - absolutely the same as damage_hull …

Hidamari

so is there no way to have repair guns affect shields too? this would really be awesome for my mod.

i seem to remember something about the healing.dll working only if the console.dll for SP and/or Multicruise.dll for MP are used. (i could be wrong tho)

Hidamari

well it works, but only on hull, not shields, since shields in my mod dont regen i need repairs guns to work on these too.

right now i have shields immune to the repair gun, otherwise it does damage instead of healing them.

This is probably a stupid question, but you’ve tried negative energy damage?

Hidamari

yes of course, negative shield damage instantly deshielded, regardles of number, even -1,

I also tried adding a minus number to the weapons damage type for the shields, still nothing.

Hidamari

I take it that nobody knows of a way or a mod that has managed to use repair guns successfully against shields so that they regenerate shields as well as hull?
