Shield Widget

UPDATE: A DFU Android-compatible version of Shield Widget has been added to Main Files. Take your shield with you when you're on the go!

Android version notes:

• []Made for use specifically with Vwing's DFU port. I can't guarantee it will work with different forks or projects. Refer to the github for instructions on installing mods.

  []My access to Android devices is limited, so I'd appreciate any feedback regarding the mod working on other devices. As with the previous point, I can't guarantee it will work perfectly with every device, but with your help, I will try my best to figure out whether it's in my capability to fix.

  []Many thanks to Vwing for their work on porting DFU to Android as well as being extra mindful of modding support.

  Main features:

  • []First-Person shield sprite

    []Includes graphics for every shield type (Buckler, Round, Kite, Tower) as well as material variants

    []Adapts to any resolution changes (Widescreen, Retro-mode, etc)

    []Scale and positional offsets are customizable

    []Behavior under certain conditions is configurable (sheathed, spellcasting, etc)

    []Condition tracking where the shield will show visible damage at certain durability thresholds

  Follows vanilla DF's color scheme where Leather/Chain/Silver all use the same material graphic

  Visit the Videos page to see some of these features being shown off.

  Optional modules (Disabled by default, toggle and configure separately in the mod settings):

  • []Bob module - Adds bob and sway to the shield sprite when moving

    []Inertia module - Delays the shield sprite when looking around to simulate weight

    []Recoil module* - The shield recoils when an enemy targets a body part that is protected by it

    []Animation module** - Plays a frame-by-frame animation when sheathing and attacking instead of offsetting the sprite

    []Step module - Rounds out the position values on the sprite to give it a stepped movement when being offset or with all transforms

  Has mod dependencies. See compatibility section for more information.

  Will lock the base Offset sliders at specific values

  All settings (except for enabling the Recoil module) can be accessed even during the game via the Mod Settings menu when paused, so you see any changes immediately.

  There are also presets available for each module.

  Compatibility:

  • []Shield, Bob, Inertia, Animation and Step modules should be fully compatible with any setup

  • Recoil module requires Vanilla Combat Event Handler in order to function. Make sure Shield Widget loads AFTER VCEH in the mod load order.
