Very simple mod that ports an item from my bigger aEquipment mod, this item being the handheld "Nav Terminal PDA" which lets the captain be a lot more active around the ship.

This would be cool if it was locked behind emergency maneuvers so that the talent actually has a use or somewhere in the skipper tree

#

Not a bad idea

Updated to be part of that talent

#

ngl i wanted to see this done for a while

swift island Oct 27, 2023, 7:30 PM

#

Its actually been done before in 2 mods I know of

#

Real Sonar has one

#

And that xbox controller for the titan submarine is one

#

Code wise its genuinely really simple

#

<RemoteController target="navterminal" onlyinownsub="true" msg="ItemMsgInteractSelect" AllowInGameEditing="false" drawhudwhenequipped="true" />```
Thats the part that makes it a handheld sonar

#

Literally just changing how the reactor PDA works

#

to target navterminal instead lol

Emergancy manuvers is now actually good

#

We did. We saved barotrauma.

#

TRUE

#

Captain can now actually play the video game.

swift island Oct 28, 2023, 7:40 PM

#

Exactly

#

That is the reason why I made the item originally

#

I always have to play captain when I'm hosting

#

And it genuinely made the game more fun for me

#

Can you still gain helm skill from using it?

#

Now that i think about it. How does gaining skill even work in the game? Does how broken the item is have any effect or is it just the fact you're repairing it?

swift island Oct 28, 2023, 8:04 PM

#

Yeah it does still give xp pretty sure

#

Effectively it connects you to the nav terminal

#

Not is a new one

#

And yes you can grind skills by breaking and repairing

#

doors are good for mechanical skill

still mural Oct 28, 2023, 8:06 PM

#

I do that a lot. But does how broke the door is have any effect on how much mechanical you gain? like repairing a slighty broken door vs a very broken door.

swift island Oct 28, 2023, 8:06 PM

#

I think so

#

But I dont know exactly

#

Small repairs dont seem to give xp as much I find

#

But I

#

dont really pay attention

#

Dammit. Now I MUST find the answer to this crazy question!!

swift island Oct 28, 2023, 8:07 PM

#

Try Vyk he knows a lot about the inner workings of the game

#

This mod makes we wonder what stats we can give other useless talents to make them usefull

still mural Oct 28, 2023, 9:32 PM

#

Like engi's Reactor PDA talent or The mechanics Safety harness.

#

Mechanics Safety first could give pressure resistence or a small swimspeed bonus.

#

Engineers Remote Monitor talent could give Move speed bonus and fire damage resistance when the reactor is melting down.

swift island Oct 28, 2023, 10:00 PM

#

There is a lot of balance changes that can be added to talents

#

I'm not too good at abilities in talents

#

I've dabled only a tiny bit into it

still mural Oct 28, 2023, 10:02 PM

#

Isn't is just a simple override?

still mural Oct 28, 2023, 11:21 PM

#

There's also Medical Companion and Delivery System talents that also give no stat boosts.
