It's mod update time, lads! Here's the changelog for v5.3 of Barotrauma Extended:


Mod Changes:

-Added a new shotgun ammo, Taser Round. It deals a bit more damage than beanbags but they do a lot more stun damage. They affect biomechanical and electric creatures differently.
-Added a variant for the Ballistic Helmet. It has a visor like the one in the Welding Helmet. It protects more but it obstructs vison and hides the identity of the wearer.
-The Ballistic Vest B now offers more protection than A but it gives increased movement and oxygen penalties.
-Switching Ballistic Gear in the Sewing Kit now requires a weapons skill of 60 so only Security and skilled individuals can switch between them.
-Added a new clothing item, Bodybag. Its main use is to store humanoid corpses inside but live humanoids can wear it too.
-Added a new junk item, Kelp. It's plentiful on the seabed and recycling it yields both Biomass and Ethanol.
-Added a new item, Frying Pan. It's used in some recipes and also as melee weapon. Cooks spawn with it.
-Added a new ingredient, Sugar. It's used in both cooking and chemical recipes.
-Added a new ingredient, Salt. It's used in both cooking and chemical recipes.
-Added a new food item, Apple. It can be eaten raw or used as cooking ingredient.

-Added a temporary document about a new round start measure for a couple of ships.
-Increased the inventory space for clipboards from 10 to 18.
-Renamed the Diving Suit to Exosuit and changed its sprite to be less armored and more civilian-like.
-Added a new Exosuit, Assault Exosuit. It's a heavy power armor. It makes the user slower than regular suits unless it's powered.

Hey, so, I love everything about this mod but I have a problem - when me and my friends play campaign, when we go to start the next mission, we start with empty inventories and lose everything our characters were holding. This is especially annoying for the medical doctor. Is this a glitch? It really screws up our campaigns

It'a vanilla issue so I have no way to fix this via modding. Only the devs can fix this.
For now, it's best to drop or store all items in the submarine instead of holding them in character inventories before ending a mission.

oh, okay thanks for fast reply!

Good afternoon,to answer to your problem,me and my f riends havent got this issue since we dooon't really play that much campaign,what i advise you,is to play but only just like
missions
Cuz' campaign is cool but not that much soo,yeah
I haven't done campaigns since 4.9 BTE so i can't really tell you if i have the same problems.

Pretty Neat, Hey would you happen to know any app that would allow me to edit XML files? I'm planning on making a uh "Xenomorph" mod and was just wondering how would I change the XML settings to allow it to run "this" type of speed and for the animator's crouch to be "this" certain Hight so it could go into the ducts...

Notepad++ is a good software for editing externalized code. Creature making is a bit too hard for now. There isn't much info about it.

Thanks I might be able to create some things, also just a suggestion in the next update, How about a mini Drone? it could be used for spying on enemy ships or for getting something out of the Ducts, I know you need time because of the amount of code to make.
