Is there a way to disable the changes to base game armours at all? I mainly want to use the new weapons.

Here's a very cool armor pattern I did a ways back... https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2668850126 ... also, if you know this armor, then you'll know that the original mod did not map armor patterns well... I fixed that so that the patterns work on this and several other armor outfits.

Alright buddy thanks for the prompt response! Take it easy & one step at a time! take care!

LWOTC is no go. I spent many hours in frustration and decided I'm not doing it. There are many changes both in gameplay and code that make it difficult. The LOWTC translation isn't an exact translation. Unfortunately, that time spent is all for nothing. Things in my life may wind down a bit again coming up. I have several changes that make things better (i.e. fixing missing visuals, fixing sounds, better balancing, better filtering on accessories like the ability to link accessories to tech level or armor group, and even changing Advent units). Over the last several months though, I've had no time. I do want to update this thing, as my kid has started playing XCOM, but it isn't a high priority in my life. I've recently reset my dev environment back to non-LWOTC so that's a start. Sorry, but life's been crazy.

Hello, is the LWOTC version of this mod still in the works or is that not happening any more?

Thank you for the mod, btw! :D

6 months later: "How's the update to the 2K Launcher going? "

Ok

Figured out part of the issue on my end. I have Alternative Mod Launcher installed and that seems to mess with what shows up as I have been adding and removing mods. I reset it, and now can see LW as well as mine... may be updating mine here sometime, no promises as I'm overloaded with work.

Nope, Long War is showing in my mod-list.
But your mod is not. Strange.

@Kasr'kin yea, even Long War 2 isn't showing up in the 2K launcher. Same for your?

Hello
Same as 12w34r, this mod is not appearing in my mod list( in 2K launcher)

@millsa9144 I just might do that and fix some of the problems as well. Found the Git repository. Just need to find the time to set it all up and do it. I wanted to find a way to modify Advent's armor as well and redo the whole damage, armor, health, and accuracy thing. Make long range gun fights last longer with more misses unless you have long range accuracy. Rework stealth a bit so lighter weight crews can be a bit larger.

You should definitely make a LWOTC version of this mod! Adds some great value to the long war campaign.

Sorry guys, I haven't worked on this in quite some time. I may update this sometime, depends. You can modify the config values in the mod folder: steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1665725595\Config.

XComContent.ini has armor and accessories. Missing items can be fixed here. Mainly what you are doing is adding the item back in to an ArmorTemplate="LW2A_ImprovisedPlatedArmor". Each item needs to have a unique TemplateName. To group selections use: SetNames[0]="TF_Anarchy". For example: SetNames[0]="COG_2", SetNames[1]="COG_1". The sets do not work on helmets and accessories.

The other configs can change the various attributes. For example: CIVILIANCLOTHING_MOBILITY_BONUS = 1

Same here. It used to work for me last year. When I loaded the game back up and started playing again after a year. It hasn't worked and I'm trying to figure out why. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi this mod is not appearing for me in my mod list

DEBUG: @Design Missing tactical in
LW2A heavyplated armor templated
the heavy plated armor is glitched and it disseapered . how do i fix this. tried uninsstalling the mod and game and deleting all files

Hey, is the Gyrojet Submachine gun supposed to give increased mobility and or crit chance? As of right now it does not, making it kind of useless next to the other laser tech weapons. Thank you.

Your mod is really great !

But after using it, I saw some anarchy's clothes are kinda missing. I can't dress my soldiers with the small shorty, or the leather pants and leather vest.

Any ideas ? Is that a problem you know about ?

The new weapons aren't available to be selected. When a rookie promotes they will get one of these weapons if it's available in the class and it works fine but I cannot select it in the loadout menu. It doesnt say it's not available either the option just doesnt exist in the list.

Is it possible to get the additional gear but not have the customization items linked to a particular armor. I love the tactical gear and infiltration suits but it only fixes the customization to only that custom models. (i.e. selecting Infiltration suits only allows the character to equip the MGSV Sneaking Suits and nothing else).

Any hope of LWOTC version? Love the idea of cosmetic armors being actual research techs

LWOTC beta is out right now

Any notes on the load order vs other compatible mods such as Katana pack reloaded?

does this mod include special abilities for the various weapons like lw1 did? for example the marksman rifle granting snapshot but limited squadsight, and the lmg granting limited squadsight but requiring 2ap to shoot

It would be really helpful if you post the stats for the armors and weapons we could find them outside the game. But the guns look and sound amazing.

WOTC please!

I LOVE THIS MOD!!!! Finally a gun that LOOKS like a gun, and I get more to choose from. Thanks.

Plans to release the custom camo patterns as a standalone mod for WOTC?

@Postmo Will definitely look at doing that. Going to be awhile though. Been to busy to even launch steam lately.

LWOTC's alpha is out, any chance of getting these updated for that?

I have to repeat my plea: I really would like to see a compatibility with Unofficial Battle Rifle pack ( https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=928300658 ) In this current state its very unpractical for both balance and clutter reasons. Unofficial Battle Rifle Pack displays some drawbacks for alternative weapons (mobility or aim penalty) On the other hand, your range bonus/penalty table may be more consistent with LW2 charts. I'm not sure about that. But i'm sure that we cannot use both mods and conserve our sanity :)

@Pet_Iguana Nope. I do have the patterns ready for WOTC though. Haven't posted it yet. Life is slamming me this week.

wotc compatible??

@Shining One .. I will look into Robojumper's Squad Select. It should be fairly easy to figure out.

The sounds are another story. If someone knows better than me how to do weapon sounds, please tell me. I spent hours trying to figure it out and ended up adding the sound to the soldier animation which is probably why it doesn't get "silenced". Additionally, I notice the G36 still plays the default sound underneath. I will continue looking into this.

@Solomani First off thank you for your mod. The weapon and armor options are fun and interesting.
There are a few things I'd like to see fixed whenever you have time.
1. There aren't images for the weapons when using Robojumper's Squad select mod for LW2 on the screen before you launch a mission. Sorry I don't have a screenshot, but if you select his mods and then go to were you launch with your weapons, like a carbine, selected there won't be an image, just a placeholder IMG with rainbow colors...I'm sure if you look at all other weapons you will find where the image goes, or maybe it's Robojumper's Squad select mod, in which case ask him on our channel: https://discordapp.com/channels/165245941664710656/165245941664710656
2. This is probably a bigger deal. I tested your Carbine (the one that looks kinda like a G36) with a Suppressor and it was REALLY LOUD. I haven't tested your other weapons with suppressors, but there was clearly a sound volume problem.
Thanks for you mod. See ya.

@Aiolia My best guess is that you started from a saved game. If so, let me know. I know how to fix that, but it will take me some time.

@InterventoR I will take a look at those, especially the ETC weapons and see if there is anything I can do with them.

I've added Improvised Powered Armor, that becomes available with Elerium tech, and the new camo patterns. The Kryptec pattern was quite difficult because of all the gradients, but I think it came out really good.

Those look pretty great, definitely looking forward to it.

Hopefully I'll find time to get the patterns into a WOTC mod sometime this week. I'm trying to finish them up before I do that. Here are a couple that I'm working on.

Kryptec LEAF https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1694135659&fileuploadsuccess=1

Damn it. You got my hopes up. I was hoping this would be WotC.

Yo fam do I want that wooden grain weapon camo or what. Are you planning on releasing this any time soon or could it somehow be that It's actually a part of Long War? I honestly wouldn't know because I haven't actually played Long War myself but I would very much love to be able to use that wood of yours in WOTC.

love the mod, but i will unfortunally avoid this until its complete for all tiers and with less bugs, because i dont want to restart my campaign for now :(.

One more thing, could you give a rundown in the descriptions of all intent change of gameplay for each weapon class and armor? So we can give feedback on the ideas or see if the classes are playing exactly what they are intended to do.

Other thing, could you be the one who unite all weapons skins for lw2 using xSkins or some other way into the game once and for all :(?

New mods for Long War 2? Warms my heart

@Solomani Take your time, thanks for responding.

does it work with war of chosen ?

@Jubal I know this bug, will have it fixed in a few days.

There seems to be a problem regarding soldier classes. If I have a soldier in my character pool that has a vanilla class, LW2 normally converts him/her into a LW class. But with your mod installed, he gets promoted to the vanilla class. Meaning vanilla perk tree and loadout.

I cannot select your weapons in the loadout menu. Some of my rookies get them when they are promoted, but once I switch back for the basic rifle, I cannot see the new ones in the menu.
