[WARFARE EVOLUTION FIX] Engineers defense kit

All weapons added by this mod.
The icons are a tad messy, but that's part of the old mod's identity now.

Should work just fine on consoles, as tested by a commenter. ;)

Experimental warning!

Space Engineers loads mods from Mod.IO differently. The core functions of the mod seem fine, but additional content like Scope Framework support does not function correctly. Now Scope Framework isn't available for consoles anyway, so if you are on PC, I recommend you use the Steam Workshop version instead.

This is a rework and fix of the old, 2016, original mod made by Ven, which can be found <a title="Original Engineer's Defense Kit upload over on Steam" href="https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=690295204&amp;searchtext=engineer%27s+defense" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HERE.
If the original creator wants the mod removed, I will do so.

Some weapons are now compatible with Scope Framework! The mod is not needed for this mod's usual functionality. If you want zoom capabilities on some weapons, go ahead and install that mod as well.

Scope Framework is only available on Steam, I'm afraid. Despite having the same files, the Mod.io version of this mod does not work with Scope Framework. Either SF cannot see the Mod.io mods in memory, or the game excludes the compatibility file from loading altogether. The Steam version has none of these issues, and yet is the same.

Greetings, wannabe space-marines! Bored of the ‘new’ weapons already? Fret not, for now you can get bored of a bunch MORE weapons!

This mod adds various new weapons to the game meant to be fired by you, not your drone. We’ve got pistols, we’ve got revolvers, we’ve got shotguns, rifles, rocket launchers, ‘grenade’ launchers, ‘flamethrowers’, miniguns, and portable laser cannons! Heck, we even got a knife! And as a cherry on top, a breaching charge.

For a list of weapons and their stats, check the discussions tab. This is exclusive to the Steam upload, but if you're curious, here is a quick link.
Their stats are also listed in the game within weapon descriptions. Scrolling within the G menu is often required to read all of it.

This mod is a bit of an old-timer at this point, but one I’ve always had loaded since 2017. Sadly, it was broken and never officially fixed a while back. I got bored over a 2022 weekend, started SE, saw this mod was borked, and, well… the rest is history.
In fact, my apologies for not fixing this mod sooner, it was much, MUCH easier than I thought.

If this mod breaks again, let me know!
It should be mostly futureproof now, since I have re-done the way the animations were handled. They should now be on their own track, so to speak, to no longer interfere with any vanilla animations. But still, if anything breaks in the future, tell me!

Can I load a world that uses the old mod and use this one instead?
Yes, it should pick up all of the items as if nothing happened. Just be sure to remove the old mod from the world and replace it with this one right after. You may be able to run both of them as long as this one is above the old one in the list, but I highly advice against it, given the old one still changes the assembler and such, and you don’t gain anything from it except for longer loading times.

Known 'issues'

• The male engineer rotates a little when holding a modded weapon while standing still.
  This is a bug I fixed right before the most wanted update. This fix promptly broke evertything after the update dropped and had to be reverted for the rest of the mod to quickly continue working acceptably. This problem is only visual, though.
