Update Low-Tech Instant Armor and list them by type and by material by maw3193 · Pull Request #481 · richardwilkes/gcs_master_library

maw3193 · 2026-02-15T16:16:21Z

This includes the following changes submitted by Teragen on Discord:

Equipment is categorised using equipment containers. They are split by either type or by coverage, and then type and coverage subdivide by the various types or hit locations.
Split DR is encoded into the "DR bonus" feature, instead of being purely based on notes.
Some missing equipment from Instant Armor (like the Arming Doublet) have been added too.

I have made the following changes to that submission:

Deleted stray source library references that came from the submitted file being created inside the user library.
For any items that had their IDs changed, I changed them back.
Because listing items in two different ways means duplicating them, I added source library references to the duplicate items referring to the originals. GCS currently doesn't seem to sync the items together if they both exist in the same library - which unfortunately means that altering the source item doesn't let it be automatically synced to the duplicate one - but since the source library information points to the original, once it's added to any other file, it can correctly pull changes from the original.

I am currently looking over the specific changes that are being made, apart from the restructuring of the file, to check for myself if it's correct.

This has become something of a full rewrite, incorporating Teragen's contributions, and also going over the equipment to make any corrections I notice.

Following discussions with Teragen, I've turned the equipment categories they used in their submission into tags applied to each item.

This also includes:

Making sure that Torso Armor covers Chest, Abdomen, Groin and Vitals.
- Chest and Abdomen armour also cover the vitals, but if I included vitals coverage for both, then wearing separate Chest and Abdomen pieces would double-count Vitals DR.
Making sure that Abdomen armour covers Groin.
Adds DR to the back of the face from Coifs and Bascinets.

I've tried my best to make sure that equipment has correct tags, but some might have slipped through.
