Projects that alter game functions but do not include new maps belong here.

The Projects forums are only for projects. If you are asking questions about a project, either find that project's thread, or start a thread in the General section instead.

Got a cool project idea but nothing else? Put it in the project ideas thread instead!

One idea to fix swiftness is to pulse the timefreeze powerup on and off so becomes sort of slow-mo. Thus enemies will still move and attack, but much slower.

Basically, for the duration of the swiftness effect, every 5 tics give a 3 tic long time freeze powerup.

Might need a bit more info. I've used GunsBonsai with plenty of mods and never had an issue with that upgrade (assuming Explosive Death was part of the problem). What mods were you using? What were you doing at the time of the crash? Can you replicate it? If so, what steps are required to do so?

Happy Canada Day! Updated Rapid Swing to Version 1.4! This update brings the long awaited ability to modify the amount of speed increase per level of upgrade! No more .5x increase per level, making weapons stupidly overpowered right from the first pick... Unless you want to keep it that way of course. Modified the defaults to be Rapid Swing: .2x per level, max level 5, for a final total of 2x speed, and Rapid Fire: .25x per level, max level 20, to replicate the original 6x max speed, just stretched out longer. Download is as always in the main post. Let me know if any unusual bugs crop up. I'm not 100% on the new frame skipping formula, but it feels right to me... Also just realized I didn't put in any safety checks for number ranges, so don't do something silly like setting Rates to zero! Enjoy!

Ps, I'll be adding soon a secondary version of the original Rapid Fire upgrade with all the fixes/features of this addon, for those who prefer the original upgrade.

Edit: Off topic, yay! My 200th post!

Edit 2: Minor update to Version 1.4.1, forgot to adjust the menu display for multiplier speeds! Purely visual.

Updated "Progress Keeper" to Version 1.1! Added a few more options for automatically saving/loading builds, rewrote some not so good code, and fixed a bug that would corrupt save data!

I've also been fiddling with some new Upgrades, and I'm planning on adding a Full Weapon Respec option to Respec. And of course, as always, I have not forgotten about requests and bug fixes.

Updated "Addon - Respec" to Version 1.1! Added options to Respec ALL Weapons, as well as Clearing GunBonsai data, if you wanted to completely start from scratch with nothing.

Updated "Addon - Respec" to Version 1.2! That was quick! Added the option to automatically clear your GunBonai build on Pistol Start/Inventory Reset.

Hello, really like the addons that you make and i want make you a question/suggestion it's possible create a skill that reduce the chance use of ammunition? Like a "you have 5% (50%max) chance to not use ammo per attack when use this weapon" it's possible create something like that? Thanks again for your work!

Glad you're liking the addons! Such an upgrade has been requested before, and unfortunately, it's not possible directly. Best I'd be able to do is have a watchdog on your ammo counter, and when it detects a reduction in ammo, if the random chance triggers, it would refund it to the last amount. Of course, this wouldn't allow for firing the weapon without ammo, could possibly bug out if you manage to collect the same ammo in the same frame as firing, or could start the out-of-ammo weapon switch process before the system has a chance to refund you. I'm pretty sure I decided to add this to my (mental) todo list, but I haven't been working on this as often as I used to, so I can't say when I'd get around to this idea.
