Modded turret avaible for ships but not for defence modules
I'm playing with an edited version of a modded turret. İt can be bought as a turret and mounted on ships. You can purchase the blueprint for it. I can mount it on ships at my wharves. All works perfectly but it cannot be mounted on defense modules. Is there a special line for it in the mod or smth else? Does anyone have a suggestion? would be much appreciated game version 6.20. It is even not on the list to select

I have a feeling that I'm intimately familiar with the modded turret you're talking about. If you are who i think you are, I helped you with the change you wanted yesterday.
I'll take a look if I can see something obvious and get back to you.

Man you are the best you are such a goog person. I decided gift you with the coming Timeline DLC and when it comes on sale I will get it for myself. Just let me know your Steam ID. I have never than this before but I believe an Steam ID is needed to gift someone. If you agree the DLC Timelines is yours.Shadow1980 wrote: ↑Sat, 18.

I've actually given you my steam ID on Reddit, but I'll drop you an email later tonight. I've just got visitors right now

Re: Modded turret avaible for ships but not for defence modules
For completeness and anyone else running past this thread, I don't see anything obvious which would prevent the m sized turret from being able to fit on L size ships or Defence Platforms.
Is there a specific tag or definition necessary for this? I'm comfortable adding this if someone could point to an example or the right direction.

Re: Modded turret avaible for ships but not for defence modules
This is 100% related to certain tags, but there are a couple different ones that could be causing this. Some assistive questions:
1) Is this an M or L turret?
2) Are you a VRO player? (VRO alters turret tags and makes some (High-Energy) turrets intentionally compatible only with ships and only on certain hardpoint type)
3) Is the mod made for VRO?
Share the turret's component xml code here (not the macro) or the mod's name and it should be very easy to pinpoint the exact issue.
EDIT: judging be previous comments we are talking about an M turret. M-sized turrets (and shields) have TWO component files+macros. One is for M ships and is integrated (unhittable tag in component, integrated tag in macro) and the other is for L/XL (hittable tag in component, defined hull HP in macro).
If the mod author did not know what they are doing they probably only made one variant and the other one is missing, making it unmountable on L/XL ships and stations.
What the author should have done would be to use the Alias system to "link" the two variants under a single blueprint and encyclopedia entry.
example: turret_arg_m_beam_01_mk1_macro and turret_arg_m_beam_02_mk1_macro

1 the modded turret is an m turret but shall be mounted on an m slot of an l or xl ship or defense platform
2 vro is used but in case there is no alternative vro could be deinstalled
3 the mod is made for x4 vanilla but has an vro patch

Re: Modded turret avaible for ships but not for defence modules
Ok, so I can semi-confidently say the VRO is completely unrelated and the turret is made incorrectly - missing the alias variant with hittable tag.
Explanation how it should be done is in my previous post. I'm happy to make suitable correction for you, but I need the mod's name (or the mod files themselves).

You access-locked the file
I sent an access request, check your gmail please.
Also - if you use Discord - look me up there (same ID as on forums). It's easier to communicate over Discord than these old forums.

Re: Modded turret avaible for ships but not for defence modules
ok, we're continuing over Discord, but in case someone stumbles upon this thread in the future:
As I expected, these turrets only had integrated variants defined. I made a few additions/changes:
- created new "hittable" macro variants in \assets\props\weaponsystems\macros\ and configured them to use the "alias" system
- defined "alias" to "hittable" (mountable on L/XL/stations) in existing \assets\props\weaponsystems\macros\turret_m_devastator_macro and \assets\props\weaponsystems\macros\turret_m_cataclysm_macro
- defined hittable variants in \index\macros
- defined hittable variants in \libraries\wares
- added correctly named icons in \assets\fx\gui\textures\upgrades\ and defined them in \libraries\icons
