Precision Building Project [PBP v0.04/Besiege v0.04]

[zodium]

The Precision Building Project (PBP) aims to add more user control and quality of life features to Besiege, including variable on-the-fly rotation step size control (e.g., 22.5 degrees, 30 degrees, etc.) for constructing things like proper wheels, block placement offset (no more placeholder blocks to put things on grabbers) and an additional time dilation multiplier. Virtually all of the coding so far has been done by @ITR while I spent the weekend enjoying a bout with food poisoning, but we hope to expand the feature set into a general quality of life mod.

The downloads seem to be broken. they aren't showing up... is this a problem on my side?

 

[ITR]

That's the forum, the download should be below the post too, but here's the link in case something weird is going on:

Does this project have integration of the other already existing mods in the future? Because that would be awesome.

 

[ITR]

Probably not since they're different kinds of mods. You'll just have to wait until somebody makes a mod-loader

the mod's GUI looks incredibly clunky. you guys should make it toggleable and/or polish it a bit :V

That's the plan, just a lot of work involved

Update 0.02 is up, give it a whirl! (Thanks to ITR)

Yeah, I wanted to take a look at this, but A) I've been out with food poisoning; B) I am a bad C# coder, and working on decompiled Unity code is hard. The current plan is just to tie it into normal TAB behavior so it hides/unhides with the rest of the UI.

ITR did some neat stuff in the meantime, though!

 

[ITR]

Another Update today, yay 0.04
This time with coloring!
Only works while simulating though.


Attached Files

A few questions:

1. Except for the obvious not-in-vanila features such as coloring, antigrav blacks, etc., builds created with this mod are fully compatible witth vanilla, right?
2. If I add colors, will it corrupt the file for vanilla, or will the colors just be gone? what about with antigrav blocks?
3. Are there plans to integrate the copypaste into this thing?

Thanks for the awesome mod!

Is this thread completely broken for anyone else too? Firefox/Chrome both.

Quick sum-up of deleted post
1: Yes
2: Just gone
3: No

Yeah, there was defiantly something up with your post ITR, Even when you soft deleted it, it still showed up for I. So I went ahead and hard deleted it.

Right, mods still can see soft-deleted posts or something. Too bad only mods can hard-delete too :/

is there a way to disable the custom timescale? it's just a hassle to retype 2 numbers over and over again just to change the speed.

Leave the time-scale field blank :3

Hi, first of all, thank you for this amazing mod. But I ran into some issues after the new update. Now with the mod installed, I cannot build anything onto the starting block, nor can I open up any previous saved machines. Once I put the original .dll file back in, everything went back to normal. Is it the same for everyone or is it just me...

 

[Deptune]

same for me， I think its the common situation after update

 

[SuburbanSB]

My best guess is that mod is not compatible if the latest update. So you will need to remove any mod files.
