[WOTC] Plated Rookie

Description
Description

Modify the loadout for rookies to include Ceramic Plating. Ceramic Plating gives two points of shield.

Changes

Gave Ceramic Plating to Rookies, Reapers, Templars and Skirmishers so they can have it for Gatecrasher.
Can be changed in this mod config folder in XComGameData.ini

Requirements

This mod requires [WOTC] LW2 Utility Plating by Favid.
You might also need a mod to add an utility slot. I'm using More Base Utility Slots by Astral Descend.

Notes

If using Vest Slot we need to change the Ceramic Plating item to be used by the Vest slot. To do that make sure to subscribe to Item Editor.
Then uncomment the following line in the mod config 1832276800/Config/XComItemEditor.ini.
;+Items=(TemplateName=LW2WOTC_CeramicPlating, InventorySlot=Vest)

Ok checked how Vest slot works and found a solution. LW2WOTC_CeramicPlating's InventorySlot have to be eInvSlot_Vest.
So either Favid makes an update to let you change the inventory slot in config, either I update my Item Editor mod and make it a requirement if you want to use the Vest slot mod.

I will probably update mine either way. Just need to make sure that change won't make it require the CHL.

Gotta let me know if you find out how to get this working with Vest slot

Thanks. I had that in my working notes but wrote it out incorrectly here. Still trying to mess with this before starting a new campaign. If I get any results I'll share, but I'm really just doing guesswork, hoping to stumble onto a solution.

Name is LW2WOTC_CeramicPlating if that can help. Did not check how Vest Slot is done but it doesn't seem to use the loadouts entries.

I just found this while trying to figure out how to get ceramic plating in rookies' vest slot by default, just like Masterman was wondering below (using Musashi's Vest Slot mod, already have the item changed to =defense). I've been trying to tweak the default rookie loadout changes added by Limited Reloads to include the ceramic plating but I think I'm getting the proper item name wrong. Either that or it simply doesn't respond to adding: Items[4]=(Item="Ceramic_Plating"). Still taking shots in the dark at potential changes to the loadout lines.
Medicman 18 Aug, 2019 @ 7:40am 
Yeah That,s all done and it takes the slot and what not just the rookies don't start with them lol
Boundir  [author] 18 Aug, 2019 @ 6:56am 
Ok. First to be able to use Plated vest in the Vest slot you will need to ITEM_CATEGORY in XComWOTC_LW2_Plating.ini from [WOTC] LW2 Utility Plating mod.
ITEM_CATEGORY=defense

The other problem is how to assign them to rookies to be available for Gatecrasher. I didn't find a solution yet. The vest slot doesn't seem to use the Loadouts config. Will need to check with Musashi.

Wasn't aware of that mod 😅 Will take a look.
It looks quite different.
