Expanded Playable Aliens - LWOTC

As of 23.11.2024, this mod is now part of the official Ted Jam collection

This is a mod for Kirukas Playable Aliens for LWOTC, think of this as fan made extension of it.

This was originally part of my Experimental MJ mod and as of 9.6.2024, Expanded Playable Aliens and Experimental Mod Jam mod are now fully compabile with each other. As content about PAs has been removed from experimental and moved here.
Your aliens shouldnt cease to exist if you add this mod to your current campaign you had EMJ active.
DO NOT TAKE ANY ALIEN TO SHENS TOWER AS THEY CANNOT USE THE ELEVATOR TUBE
ALSO THEY CANNOT PICK UP BLACKSITE VIAL OR OPEN THE STASIS TUBE AT FORGE.
Now with that out of the way to cover my ass, lets continue

Here is excel with all the new stuff
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AN0Ubxli0rSSEpPmDCkdaW0EASx0aUUyWVAfCg9bmss/edit?usp=sharing

Currently, it adds 9 + 3 new playable aliens and changes some internal mechanics and minor balance tweaks

So far, what i have

- You start with Playable Alien at gatecrasher (Multiple, configurable, not every alien can roll on gatecrasher)
- Aliens now have force level gates, no more Berserkers at FL2, this is not a healthy unit design and its essentially a free "I win and let the snowballing begin" unit just out of dumb RNG.
- Vipers can now use more weapons of their kind
- Scramgun is now an actual flanking weapon with high damage range and juicy crit damage.
- Almost everything is open to config, so users can change things around, though be wary that i can update the mod at ANY TIME, without warning !
- For added replayability, Weapon Synergy mechanic now exists, these are specialized equipment pieces that require certain playable alien class combinations on Avenger to unlock, these provide unique sidegrades of weapons and armor, variety will grow as time goes on.
- Alien Defector Radio Tech, this one gives you a Muton Trooper, it also serves to flesh out Alien Defectors as a faction, it also sets in stone their leader.
- Bunch of stuff for the old guard (Like tier 2 bayonets for Mutons)
- Overhauled multiple original Aliens
- Tier 4 armor for all aliens

This mod is obviously in early stages of devolepment, so bugs, broken XCOM rows and funky animations are completely expected



Currently i made 9 standard aliens and 3 Heroic ones

1) Taipan Hussar (Requiem Snake)

2) Viper Commando (Bio Viper)

3) Muton Sapper

4) Frost Mamba

5) Floater

6) Seraphim (Requiem Archon)

7) Python

8) Muton Infiltrator (Requiem Muton)

9) Andromedon Desolator (Drome dome fire Andromedon)


And 3 new heroic aliens that come with their covert operation

All new aliens have their own steam discussion where i go abit more in depth with them

Plus a alien you can get via POI only


Requirements:

Functional LWOTC
Preferably, Mod Jam (Or TedJam) and its collection - i have no idea if it works without it
Well, what i listed as requirements on steam bruh, you miss something and you miss content
Otherwise, get these two if you want Taipan,Floater, Infiltrator, Seraphim, Wraith and bunch of new gear for your alien troops.

Credits (This is mostly copy and paste from my experimental MJ mod) :

Kiruka - While still absent from further dev of MJ, she is the source of everything here, pretty much everything she created is reused, repurposed and i simply learned from what she did.

The_Nocturni - Absolute mad lad that provided multitude of scripts that this mod uses, i cant state how much this person saved my sanity, thank you

Iridar - His tutorials were the foundation for this mod and his ghost assets were utilized as well (they were part of MJ already)

RustyDios - Even indirectly, he taught me the basics of localization and config inner workings, my other mods (Vanguard class, EIO) might have not even existed without his speedy help.

Illogical - For maintaining MJ collection

Mitzruti - As creator of Frost Legion and the perk pack

Tedster - For being really helpful, despite being the main current LWOTC dev with metric tons of work to do, he hangs around with losers like me on Discord, he is truly the man of the people.

Captain Pet Rock - A good chunk of this mod was made in secret alongside Playable Advent and he is responsible for the Alien Gatecrasher script and generally, he helped me alot through the initial stages, i also utilize his perks for some of the new units.

Mr Danger Dude - Requiem Legion uses his animations for Taipans, i use Taipans and their animations as new unit. Since 12.12.2024 i have officially started using his animations, so double credit goes to him.

Reshikillim - Requiem Legion lady, i use sdk magic to give new ayys life as XCOM units so without her, there would be no Requiem content via this mod

Claus - The_Nocturni brought life to his Devastator, which exists as future playable alien i want to introduce and its not just his Devastator, but his Pathfinders as well, given i use WSR magic to transfer weapon appereance to one of the playable alien primary weapon, plus his assault troopers were used for their radiation proc for the Devastator and i also reused the shotgun to be a new weapon for Vipers, so much credit goes to him.

ShinyMoogle - Creator of the original playable aliens, there wouldnt be like 7 playable vipers without the mod that started it all for WOTC.

Favid and Bstar - I utilize perks they have created for some of the classes

Ashlyn_Lee - Creator of the Muton Destroyer, which i turned in to Muton Sapper (The red muton)

LWOTC team (Peter, Grobobo and many, many others ) - We wouldnt be here without your work on converting LW2 to WOTC

Ketaros - For his 2D asset pack for class icons

Deadput - For permission to use his Python asset
