WOTC update please?

So if I've downloaded a couple of conventional weapons mods (World War Two and Cold War era) does that mean that I'll be able to use them throughout? Dressing my guys in GI gear doesn't exactly feel right when they aren't packing their M1 Garand and Thompson SMG!

is this compatible with LW2?

does this work with WOTC?

@Topys Kretts: Not for me. It was another mod that did that for me. (don't remember which one, sadly)

This is the only mod that works, but unfortunately it will crash any in-mission loads... such a pity!

man, it's 2017. twenty years since the internet took off. you'd think subscribing to a thread would have advanced options AND be able to detect requests as a toggle (and off by default for notifications) by now. sheesh

Any chance for WOTC update?

I really miss this mod when playing WotC. Hope you will update it but it's up to you.

I dislike the look of the last tier of guns and armour,
so this allowed me to use tier 1 twice and tier 2 instead of the 3rd.

The armour mod seems to work fine, or at least I can turn tier 2 armour back to tier 1 look.

It just feels the developers put more care and thought into tier 1 gear.
More armour variation, gun attatchments look nicer in some cases.

Tier 1 allows for more unique look for soldiers, while 2 & 3 make them all look the same,
with maybe different colours. Perhaps that's the point, we slowely become a unit rather than indivituals, where soldier death holds less impact because they're all the same for the most part.

A WotC update would be amazing! (Fingers crossed)

Will you be updating this to WotC

and how do i disable the vanilla weapons?

sorry for sounding stupid, but how to i tell which lines in the *.ini file are magnetic, conventional and beam?

damnnnnn, dude! why did it take me a whole month to find your mod collection???

Hello, I've already said a few times that this is probably my fav xcom mod, I'm really hyped for the new content and I'm curious if you are planning making a version of this mod for the new content.

I don't know of any mod that does anything similar to this one and I would probably be really sad to have to use those horrible plasma vanilla weapons...

Thank you for all the hours of entertainment and bullets I've been using in this game :D!

Okie crash to desktop while loading a savegame. I disabled every mod except this one.
Crash message reads
"Pure virtual function being called while application was running (GIsRunning == 1)."



Was using T2 Magnetic weapons to test it out, it is a shame I liked the Mag weaps...

This looks great. Now I can have my soldiers keep the amazing t1 look without "upgrading" to that weird looking curvy rounded theme.

@The PM
Dude is there any chance u would release separate weapon pack? like one for Conv one for Mag and one for Beam? i would love to have ur Conv weapons but i dont need Beam or Mag weapons,
also it would be great if u add an option which remove old tier ones when u get a new tier! like when u reach T3 (beam weapons) u dont need T2 and T1 Conv or Mag weapons anymore since they all use same model too anyway

It's going to be some time before I can even look at compatibility for LW2, sadly.

Would love to have something like this on LW2, probably my nº1 required mod in this game haha I HATE the plasma tiered weapons T.T

need update for lw2

If this ever gets updated with the laser weapons from the Long War mod, it will be my number 1 favorite mod ever. o3o

Is there any way to remove the tier 1 magnetic and plasma weapons?

Will this be happening for the SPARK weapons too?

Is there any way to fix the +20 aim of swords or disable the swords?

I love your mod. Thnak you.
Is there any way to enable/disable the visuals styles you do want to show up in the inventory?

No pressure The PM! Enjoy your vacation! I'm debating restarting my campaign since I think I've overcluttered it with some unnecessary mods.

It'll be a while before I get to any new ones. I'm on vacation for the next week which means at least two weeks before I really look at it and see if I want to do the work. :/ Total War Warhammer has been taking my gaming time lately. If it's just the four weapons and nothing crazy it might not be too hard, but it's a time consuming process.

Looks like you're gonna be busy with the new laser weapons Long War Studios just released

Main weapons work! :D you've got the damage range working!!!!!! Only tried the main weapons though, I'll check the secondary weapons soon just in case. but in any case: Thank you, this is a wonderful mod and I've been using it since I discovered it.

Added the lines for potential Long War compatibility. Try testing it, WingBreaker. You might have to set my ini's to use the default values. No guarantee this will fix it.

Not really... just that message about the bug... sorry for not being able to get more info about it

WingBreaker, thanks for the heads up. Did they say where to apply that bit of code or more of an example?

[quote=Krakah;358415206098566435]You've got the flat damage bug with your template from the LW_Toolbox damage roulette feature.

Add the following to the end of your template, and it'll be fixed.

defaultproperties
{
bShouldCreateDifficultyVariants = true
}

Found this on another weapons mod, maybe it'll help with the issue I've told you about.

I gave a try at Reatroactive Upgrades.

Works great on the paper, except that I can't change weapons's mods number (I can with your mod).

So.. Yes, beside all those Beam weapons on tier 1, and 2, your mod is really great

Sharblue you probably want to check out Mk Conventional Weapons or Retroactive Upgrades if you want limited distro on weapons.

WingBreaker, sorry, I haven't looked at the toolbox mod at all to see what the issue might be. I agree it's a shame. I'm surprised that their code supersedes my INIs, they must've done something clever to effect the damage of weapons that aren't from their mod. Sorry, man, wish it worked without me putting time into it.

Tried to uninstall and reinstall all mods, the 'damage range' issue still persists with the toolbox mod... shame :(

Another question : how hard would it be to remove Beam versions from Tier 1 and 2, and Magnetic versions from Tier 1?

Beside the mod being a real enjoyment, all the Rookies get a Beam version of the weapon every time :/ Not quite "lore friendly", so, I'd like to disable them until 3rd Tier, same for Magnetic.

Yeh ! It works now !!

Long story short, the game will still prefer the files in the workshop folder over the mod folder, so if you just copy it, and edit the mod folder ini, nothing will happen because it will prefer to read the ini in the workshop folder. To quote Raeli's mod page who gave me the hint.

Indeed, I made a copy of the folder, and only changed Config files from the Mod folder.

Now, I just deleted Workshop folder, keeping Mod folder and its modified files, and now, it works :)

Thanks for pointing me to that folder, I think I have found them (i.e, Tier1_AssaultRifle_CV, Tier2 and Tier3)

Sharblue, I'll test it in my game when I get home later this week.

Haven, I'll have to look but I'm out of town. If you go to my mod folder though and look at the localization file you can probably piece it together.

What is the template.name for your conventional weapons? I am trying to use your weapons with Loot mod.

Yes, that might be the cause.

As I'm in late game, I just managed to "build" Beam Sniper, but even on new tier it didn't change anything.

I wanted to try a new game, but I didn't have time for it now.

I'll take a look when I'm back in town next week. The change might not be retroactive (since the template would all ready be created in a current game). Can you test it on a new campaign?

Feedback, after 1 hour working on it : it doesn't work.

Mk2 and Mk3 sticks to 2 upgrade slots, no matter what file I alter

Oh, yes, indeed there are 3 config files, one for each weapon tier (XComThreeTierWeaponsBM/CV/MG), and lines at the beginning to changes slots.

Surprisingly, I made changes in another .ini files and missed those !

I'll give a try, thanks.

I'm pretty sure there is an option in the config ini files that covers weapons mods numbers.

Hey, thank you very very much for this mod !

I'd like to enable for each weapons more than 2 mods slots, how can I do that?
Currently, Mk1 is 1 slot, Mk2 and Mk3 are 2 slots.
I had a mod enabling 3 mods slots for each tier of vanilla weapons, but I had to disable it in order to use yours.

Thanks for any help

I'll take a look at it when I get home later but I would have to bet it's the long war mod messing with it (I do not use the toolbox myself, yet, so I'm not sure what all they did to include their code). I'm almost positive when I played last night all of my weapons had "ranges" for damage.
