[WOTC] Iridar's Autopistol Overhaul

In the base game, Autopistols are absolutely identical to normal Pistols, and it always seemed to me like a missed opportunity to add more diversity in soldier loadouts and give more options to the commander. This mod does a lot of things at once:

1) Changes Autopistols' stats:

• Minimum damage is increased by 1 point. E.g. what was 2-3 now becomes 3-3.
  
• Critical chance is increased by 15.
  
• Changes range aim bonus table slightly. Range aim bonuses are stronger up close, but penalties at long range are also stronger and happen earlier.
  
• Autopistols now have negative armor piercing, meaning that against armored opponents they will deal 1 less damage than they normally would. As always, hits will still deal at least 1 damage.

2) Any class that can equip pistols as a primary or secondary weapon will be able to equip autopistols as well, and vice versa. Except for Akimbo.[/b].

3) Makes conventional Autopistols available from campaign start. Normally you would have to recruit a Templar first. Upgrading Pistols in Engineering will upgrade Autopistols as well, Autopistol upgrade schematic is removed.

4) Adds proper Autopistol animations for non-Templar classes, including a custom-made Fan Fire animation, and makes Fan Fire a possible AWC perk for Templars.

5) Adds weapon Upgrade Slots and makes weapon upgrades actually visible.


I have purposefully made this mod highly configurable, and you can disable, enable or tweak almost any aspect at will.

You can change autopistol stats, or keep them same as in the base game. You can also add additional abilities to autopistols, should you want to.

Note that configuration values for Autopistol magazine size do not actually work. Magazine Size for Primary Secondaries should be configured in Primary Secondaries itself.


Highlander is required.


Compatible with Primary Secondaries and RPG Overhaul out of the box.

The primary versions of Autopistols that are added by Primary Secondaries are actually separate weapons, so if you want, you can disable Autopistol Rebalance's effects on them.

Note that RPG Overhaul does a similar thing by itself; it changes Autopistol range table and adds crit chance. If you use Autopistol Rebalance, it will override and replace RPG Overhaul's changes. At least that's how it looked from my tests.

Compatible with Three Tier Cosmetic Weapons.

The base game's autopistol animations are made specifically for Templars, and they are different from animations used by normal pistols, since Templars don't have to hold their primary weapon in the left hand while firing their sidearm.

This mod replaces certain animations with a mix of pistol animations and my own animations. Soldiers that use templar animations do not require this, so soldiers that have a templar gauntlet or a sword in their primary weapon slot will be ignored.

All of this is configurable to maximize compatibility with other mods.
