Thank you for the mod. Is it possible to:
1. have the magnetic and beam tiers ONLY after unlocking them through the campaign?
2. to have to build those 2 tiers after unlocking them
Is it possible pls?
P.S. I am using LWOTC

this mod confuses and angers me.

Quick Question. This works for the AR, shotgun, etc, but should I want to put a rail pistol onto a class, or the tier 3 TLP pistol, theres only 1 of them, not infinite, in addition, the t2 regular pistol doesnt appear, ditto for the t2 conventional TLP pistol. how can I fix this?

i've set 'Generate_TLE_Tier2 = (Conv = true, Mag = true, Beam = false) '
and somehow only magnetic weapon shows up. anything i have to do more?

Great mod, works perfectly

Awesome thanks

@DoesUntoOthers I have a mod for that now, too! https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1581968855

Hey just curious, is there a way to display all the cosmetic variants but only for damage tier that I'm on. So like at Tier 2, I want to see the T2 damage equivalent of the all the skins, but no longer see the Tier 1 variants. So Seeing the Machine Gun with the tier 1 skin that has Tier 2 damage but not the machine gun with tier 1 damage and the tier 1 skin.

Okeeei, thank you very much, u saved my life, have a nice day!! ^ ^

You have to copy some files around to get your ini changes to stick. Take a look here: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/app/268500/discussions/0/1474221865185061226/

As what u said, this mod is based on the standard weapons' stats, its meaning that if I change the standard weapon's damages also should be worked on this mod, but it still doesn't work the damage of shotgun, could u plz give me a tutorial for changing weapon's damage? thank you very much.

how can I modificat the shotgun's damage? I modificated all standard weapons' damage, but shotgun's doesnt work

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're asking.

i use the abb mod!!!is this compatible with that?also if i add ur mod it will keep the derbks changes for example the cannon has 9 ammo i think and the spray ability ill have it for those?or the vanilla ones?

Good to know, thank you!

Yes, you can edit the ini and disable certain tiers if you want to. However, this will interfere with weapon upgrading so you'll have to swap out your weapons by hand when you buy a new tier.

I made a quick fix for the bugged icons.

is there a way to set the cosmetic versions to only show up at the proper tiers? (T1 only showing ballistic, T2 showing magnet, and T3 showing plazma) only and not all 3 on all 3 tiers?

Side note, the metallic rifle's image in menus/bottom right of tactical view seems to have the normal rifle underlayed on the weapon image.

@withmin
Yes. I use them both together myself, actually!

@Crasher563
I was finally able to consistently reproduce the problem myself. Due to various mod interactions I can't promise for sure, because I still don't know what was really causing it, but I fixed it for me anyway and I uploaded that fix. So hopefully that fixed it for you as well.

Your MOD (WOTC+TLP) Three Tier Cosmetic Weapons and (WotC) Three Tier Cosmetic Weapons together working?

So I'm having the same issues that Ardent and Sp3ct3r has. Don't have much to add except that I enabled this mod after having started a campaign, which may or may not be were the issue lies as you've discussed.

So to be able to use my savefile again i had to disable the mod, making all the guns from the mod invisible and do no damage. But after I turned it on after the mission the guns where back no problem. I'm just pretty scared to go do a long mission now. Anyways, thanks for the mod. <3

Ran a quick test with a fresh campaign, blazed through a couple missions, everything seemed to work fine on that one. Oh, well. Guess these awesome new guns will have to wait 'till i finish my current run.

@PZ no worries, thanks for the reply!

Oh and @Butler
They just get their stats from the normal game's equivalent weapon. Maybe someday I'll add an option to change the stats but I won't make any promises.

You're probably right. I would also guess it's related to a mid-campaign install as the only time I've ever experienced the bug was just today, and it was after I'd been busily modding and added a bunch of new mods to a save.

After this, I started a new campaign and ran around in Gatecrasher a bit and saved, and then reloaded and nothing went wrong in that game. I also loaded a different save with different mods and that worked fine as well, albeit with the warning screen about missing mods.

Experiencing same issue as Ardent, here. Or similar, anyway. When loading a save in tactical mode, game sorta fast-forwards all the moves made, except it feels like it starts on the turn the save was made (as in, in the correct "state", so to speak) and does it in incorrect order, resulting in some... pretty wierd stuff. And after some testing i narrowed it down to this mod. Without it, everything runs just fine. With it, well, what i described above happens. Happens only in regular campaign, too, no funky stuff in Legacy Ops. Could this be somehow related to installing this mod mid-campaign, perhaps? Didnt test it on a brand new one.

Thank you for this mod PZ! Big fan of revolvers so i really appriecate this mod! i was wondering is there anyway i can edit the stats? (i have a daul wield pistol class that would like to use matching revolvers instead of one shadowkeeper beam for stats and one revolver.) Thanks mate.

@ Ardent: I don't think it's anything to do with the mod since I was experiencing the weird fastforwarding and associated movement glitches before TLE dropped and on a recent unmodded playthrough of TLE. Are you using idle supression by any chance? That mod is causing crashes on late stage TLE campaign missions, apparently due to (surprise surprise) lazy coding by Firaxis.

My older Three Tier Cosmetic mod handles those. The links are in the description above.

@PZ do you have a mod like this for the Alien Hunter weapons and the SPARK weapons?

@ardent: I can at least confirm you, that you're not alone in this. i also had the "fast forward feature" and my game crashes when i try to load up a mid-battle savegame on the main game. Works fine when loading to the avenger.

I also tried to figure out which mod could come into conflict, no luck yet and so far most of my mods are only cosmetics related.

Anyone know what the best mod would be to do this with armor?

Yes.

So these cosmetic TLP weapons are upgradable insted of the forced mods put on the default?

New version! I've improved the visualization of weapon upgrades for the cosmetic weapons. They still aren't actually shown on the weapon model (because that would be more difficult) but now you at least get icons in the armory so the whole thing looks quite a bit better.

@Arnokill57
Sounds like a good mod idea. Maybe you should grab the SDK and make it yourself!

@Arnokill57 Thanks. Tried to do that myself but for some reason couldn't interact with the discussions for some reason

Yes CommanderShepard153. I have already submitted that idea to the modding forum. I want the lumpy plasma effects for ALL plasma weapons.

I hope someone comes out with a mod someday that let’s you replace the vanilla plasma FXs with the TLP plasma FX. If only so we could keep the Plasma Minigun(unless someone can design a plasma minigun based on these designs).

Ah no worries, just figured I'd point it out in case someone knew what was up. If I find time maybe I'll test it further to see what combo is making it weird.

It is not this mod alone because I (and I presume others) run this mod and don't have that issue. So it's probably an interaction somewhere... those are, unfortunately, really hard to pin down, so I'm not sure how much help I can be.

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but this mod seems to be causing a weird bug when I reload saves in Legacy Ops missions. Instead of starting me where I last left off, it will put me at the start of the mission and then kinda "fast forward" through each turn I made until I reach the point of my last save, if that makes sense. Sometimes this fast forward process crashes the game. It only seems to occur if I have this mod active; not sure if it's this mod alone or something interacting with it. Let me know if I can clarify the issue.

@PZ It helped so much thank you !

@Spotter
No, it add vanilla stat TLP version weapons.

Short version; This makes Vanilla Weapons, look like TLP ones. Correct?

The TLP weapons are just the normal weapon names with TLE_ in front of them. And then a C and a number for the tier generated by this mod. So the TLP tier 1 conventional shotgun is C1TLE_Shotgun_CV, and the TLP tier 2 conventional sniper rifle is C2TLE_SniperRifle_CV and the tier 3 beam cannon is C3TLE_Cannon_BM and so on. i hope that helps. :D

hmm, i am not sure where to look weapontemplate name but i will try guessing with tlp localization
thx anyway!

No, I didn't use localization because I didn't feel like it and every user is going to edit it themselves anyway. So the names just go in your regular XComThreeTierCosmeticTLE.ini

Any way to equip these skins by default?

is there localization folder in mod folder? only i can see is config,script,src folder

You can add whatever lines you want. The template names are pretty easy to find: you can get them from the SDK source code, in the localization files, or in various lists of cheats (since additem takes template names)
