[New build - DEFAULT] 24w40a: Player Equipment Loadout and Helmets

[tsunamayo]

This build adds a player equipment loadout system. Place helmet and backpack module into their respective slots to gain some perks.

Module would give access to various perks:

• Helmet would give light, scanner capability
• Boot would yield locomotion bonus or capability, cancel fall damage ect
• Multitool: mining/scavenging/shooting bonus
• Backpack: storage perk, jetpack mode (jumpack vs 6dof), personal shield

For now we only have a jetpack and storage module as I have been focusing on the tech.

To be added:

• Boot and multitool modules
• More jetpack modules
• Refined system where a helmet/backpack could give several module slots: ie Backpack I,II or III.

=> please suggest any modules you would think would be interesting to have!

Changes / Improvements

• Collector cannot collect item that cant be picked up like crystals
• Weapon / Mining beam ban breaks world items like crystals
• Helmet size depends on race
• New helmet type
• Mech step sound updated

Hotfixes:

• Collector range incorrect
• Mechs can lift a leg in some cases

  6004 Collector issues

  6012 Item filter and one-way not working in some cases

  5991 Collision with handheld when flying a ship.

Is the build suppose to be on the default branch? I was only able to access it through the experimental branch.

Anyways cool update! Since the equipment shows up on the character model we need a way to customize our suits like adding color and maybe some decals. An Appearance terminal should do the trick or perhaps a appearance kiosk type. that way we can customize the terminal itself.

Some equipment Ideas:

X-ray Helmet- Gives the player a toggleable mode that allows them to see through hull blocks and highlights special system blocks like reactors, thrusters, tanks, ect.

Mag-lock boots- Gives a toggleable jetpack mode that makes the player stick to any metal surface. really useful in zero-g.

Sprint Booster (Backpack)- Increases sprint speed

Blaster (Multi-tool)- Adds a weapon that works similarly to the laser. Basic anti-personnel weapon.

Personally I'm torn on having a multi-tool slot. Since we have handhelds I always though that the Idea is that we only use the multi-tool when we start out. you know, like a basic survival tool. And as we progress we eventually stop using the multi-tool in favor of handhelds since they can be designed with better stronger versions of the multi-tool tools. Having upgradable multi-tools kind of undermines handhelds. I would personally rather swap the multi-tool slot for a space suit slot. that way we have a main defensive item which can also effect environmental resistances like hot, cold, radiation, etc.

On the topic of equipment slots. I think additional equipment slots should awarded for reaching certain milestones like ranking up in certain factions or completing a hand crafted questline.

ya, or maybe rather then multi tool slot chip, some kind of generic handheld enhancement chip, like extra efficiency or etc...

Yes, really nice

Energy modul: Level 1: all beam are not strong or have a short shot intervall. Jetpack are not strong or have a short thrust intervall. Same for new energy users. Level 2:all better ... Could be possible that we could use a energy modul for small entity to give it engery (small hover vehicle)

Scan modul: Level 1: small scan range, small teleport range Level2:more range Special moduls: Deep scan, enemy scan, logic scan(show logic bricks from entity),...

Suits: Heat restist suit, frost restist suit, critical atmophere restist suit, fight suit, stealth suit

Lifing system modul: for more breath time.

Place for special moduls: Invisible addon, translator addon, healing system addon. Stealth addon, coffee machine.

Also the mechs raising their legs up issue has largely been fixed. It never quite goes back to the idle pose but thats why I want a toggle in the mech computer to force the mech to return to the idle pose upon leaving the controls
