[1.5.2] [SSP/SMP] IndustrialCraft 2 Combo Armors v1.14.3

IndustrialCraft 2 Combo Armors, or IC2CA, is an addon for the IndustrialCraft 2 mod for Minecraft. Remember all those times you wanted to use your Electric Jetpack (because who doesn't love to fly) but your Mining Laser was out of energy? Or maybe you wanted to recharge your Nano Saber and have some reasonable protection from a NanoSuit Chestplate at the same time? Well, as you may have guessed from my corny intro and the title, this mod adds many different items that allow you to do just that. You can combine all of the electrical armors from IC2 to create a wide variety of different armors, from the Solar QuantumSuit Helmet to the LapiJetpack to the Ultimate QuantumSuit Bodyarmor.

Also, currently in development is a cool upgrade system that will allow you to make your cool armors even cooler. From something as simple as a Solar Production module that will make a Solar Helmet more efficient, to something as cool as the Cloaking Module that allows you to turn invisible, we have a long list of upgrades.

Lastly, we added a Nano Bow to match the Nano Saber. Even though it doesn't fit with the whole combo armors thing, we felt it was necessary :).

We have tested everything (somewhat) extensively on the server Ishaan1 runs for us, but I'm there's a few bugs we never noticed . If you notice any, post them below! If you get an error, please include the error log that FML will generate in you're .minecraft folder. If it's one of those bugs where something just isn't working as intended, please leave a detailed description and an image if you feel it's neccesary.

The wiki is as new as our mod, so feel free to edit any pages that are lacking information.

A nice spotlight by thejereman13, demonstrates a lot of the features (although I have no idea what caused all of those glitches he experienced... if anyone can replicate them, let me know).

If anyone knows how to embed the video... please tell me. I have no idea.

Removed Adf.ly link and replaced with direct, will add more information in a bit.
EDIT: Added more info. Hopefully that satisfies any rules I broke.

Quote from Epic Lulz

As said before, overpowered but cool.

I shall be awaiting the balance.

(BTW, anybody else who's planning on making armor addons in the near future? Try to think of something creative, I believe at least 3 mods offering options for combinations of vIC2 armor pieces are sufficient.)

EDIT: SteveofDoom The OP states balance will be arriving sometime soon, so Greg probably won't even think of doing anything until everything is finalized.

I haven't seen any other mods doing what I just did. That was the first thing I did before I began to mod- I searched Google and IC2 forums and MC Forums for mods similar to what I had in mind. I didn't find any, so I proceeded.

The closest thing I can find is Modular Powersuits, but i felt that it was different enough from my mod to justify me still releasing it.

And as far as balance goes, I feel right now its below standard IC2 difficulty. I'm gonna raise it up to that (or slightly higher) first, and then I'll worry about a GregTech hard mode.

Again, I felt that the 1 chestplate GraviSuite added was different enough from the 14 I had planned (plus the upgrade system).

Quote from SteveofDoom

You should add Ultimate Solar Quantum Helmet from Gravi Suite.

.........what? I can't tell if that was a terrible joke or not.

I have found a bug.
If I use nano or quantity bodyarmor( ) from yours mod. Completely loaded and all armament parts also in and then goes to lava or fire, then I agree no damage ( ). When I walk out of the lava, then I get all the time damage until the fire goes out ( ), a half heart per second.
If I use the original body armor( ), then go directly from the fire as soon as I walk out of the lava and get no damage.

If I upgrade my Quantumbodyarmor( ) with the flight turbine upgrade module, then stops working the already built-in jetpack. Is that correct?

The mod is really good, she's exactly what I was looking for.
Please developed further, I need it xD

Sorry for my bad English, had already use google translate. Otherwise speak only German. Hope you can still understand my sentences.

with friendly greetings

I understood fine, here's to hoping Google translate can get this back into German for you, lol.

The jetpack is supposed to be disabled when you add a flight turbine. I felt it wasn't necessary to have both, but I could reconsider if people feel it's necessary.
As for the fire, I'll have a look at that. Thanks for the positive feedback

EDIT: I thought the QuantumSuit bodyarmor was supposed to put out the fires as you said, but I just tried it out in single player (with the normal IC2 quantum chest) and I burned to death...
Is this an IC2 bug? I added in the same line IC2 uses (player.setFire(0)), and I had no luck getting it to work either. Maybe MC changed something in a recent version that nobody is aware of? For now, I'll leave it as is.
I did notice another bug though, textures for the Exo QuantumSuit were broken. Fixed and reuploaded.

Quote from alex1702

cool xD
I think I understand everything xD

At first I thought this is a turbine upgrade for the jetpack, so my question. (Oh man the sentence sounds funny xD)

"As for the fire, I'll have a look at that."
You mean, you look even after that? (ok done)
(google translater sucks xD)
I should learn English xD

EDIT: I use tekkit lite (last version 0.5.7)
Thanks for looking, strange.

EDIT2:
IC2 Version: v1.115.208

v1.115? The latest version is 1.112, and its still in beta...
*confused*

Just found this: http://bt.industrial-craft.net/view.php?id=243

Seems like the fire was a bug, I'll look into it more.

Quote from alex1702

Have another question. Is it normal that the static quantumsuit boots only 100,000 eu store instead have 1,000,000?
Or why did the boots only 100,000 EU?

Well, that's what I get for copy-pasting the Nano Static and changing a few things. It had the wrong tier (could have be charged in MFE) and transfer speed too. Fixed now, reuploaded.
