Beagle is streaming OvA right now on his Twitch!

its a shame this project is dead, ive heard great things about this, but im still hesitent to give it a shot seeing that its abandoned in alpha

We pray for the update, great mod

This mod still makes me wish Beagle was hired by Firaxis to design the next XCOM. Just a brilliant reworking of progression.

All I want for Christmas is an update.

For anyone interested Their github for the project was last updated 2 years ago.

Would really like an update on this...

does running mercenary plasma ghost templates work instead of regular mercenary plasma weapons because ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they are so loud

So what mod adds the Operator class, bc mine is bugged it shows up but has no perks.Also has anyone tried running this with the akimbo class?? It lets me pick it but wont let me use a secondary as my primary.

UPDATE PLS

So how do the weapon upgrades work i got magnetic weapons but it wont upgrade the core guns with the abilities to magnetic. Is there something im missing?

Hey Beagle, was just curious as to where you were planning to release the update to this mod. I assume the MJB discord but wasn't sure where exactly.
Thanks, by the way, this modpack is super fun and has easily extended XCOM 2's life by a few hundred hours for me.

Hiyo, so, the person who helped me create and update this core mod isn't in contact with me anymore, but yes I am updating my OvA install for my latest 'season' of it - I'm thinking about releasing a .zip file to manual install that compilation's configs instead of using this but until then this edition is still the old 2020 version instead of the new 2022 mods and configs I've got. I might be releasing that edition in the next month or so? Someone else wants to get it off me too. Thanks for checking!

Hi Beagle, longtime fan from back in the TNX days. I only just recently found out about this modpack when I saw that OvA season FOUR is in progress over on Twitch (late to the party, I know). I was just wondering where the mod is re Alpha status, if any further iteration is expected in the near future etc? Basically trying to decide if I should make this my next campaign or wait a bit. Keep up the good work either way!

For the people having problems with the Mag Tier not showing up, I have managed to work around this problem.
- Once research has been completed, save and exit the game.
- Go into to Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1932532481\Config\Workshop\Weapons\XCom\Soldiers\All\zzzWeaponSkinReplacer and make a copy of the file on your desktop, removing it from the folder.
- Once the folder is empty, load up the game and purchase the upgrades (if you can't afford them, you have to repeat this process each time you'll want to buy the upgrade).
- Save and Exit the game.
- Re-insert the XComWeaponSkinReplacer in the folder.
- Now you'll have the upgraded weapons.

I know it may be a bit late, or not relevant anymore, but this might just let you enjoy this amazing modset without tearing your hair out.
(I believe this process will work even for Plasma/ T3, but I still haven't reached that point)

Haven't used the weapon skin replacer before, how do you make it so that all advent rifles uses the priest rifle's rate of fire?
Because that is so much better than standard vanilla advent shots.

i think there some errors in the codes for Forge Mission in XComEncounters.ini. From line 875 to 909, the code is copied from line 835 to 869, so Forge mission spawn count is not modified.

Love this modset!

.. I'm crashing every time I try to use an explosive. Anyone else run into this?

so i think the mag weapons are still not working properly, but just to check your supposed to have the perks of the original weapons (light em up, CCS, etc) on them too right? currently no matter what i add to the WSR config, or if i just turn the mods off it seems I cant get mag weapons/ or different skinned versions with the relevant perks :(

bit sad was having fun

this is hands down the most wholesome thing ive ever seen on the cesspit that is the steam fourms

thats okay its fine xD

I don't know what I was thinking when I posted that negative review. Screaming with all caps isn't going to fix anything. /: There must've been tonnes of effort put into this, and I'm sorry.

Fix your mod Beagle!

is this ever going to get updated or possibly even finished? this was just about my favorite modded setup

Any news on the Development of this Mod?
so far its great and i would gladly pay a few bucks for a finished version ;)
keep it up!!

not dead

dead

BUT WHEN WILL YOU UPLOAD TO YOUTUBE AGAIN

@paturn_stuff oh okay, thanks man. is there a readme or something similar somewhere that lists little things like that throughout the campaign? Would it just happen again with Plasma?

@Omaeka: You need to edit the WSR config. Look for this line: +WEAPONS_TO_HIDE=TLE_AssaultRifle_MG

It should be around line 312/332. Change it to +WEAPONS_TO_HIDE_KEEP_SCHEMATIC=TLE_AssaultRifle_MG

There are no mag weapons? Researched Gauss and Magnetic Weapons and I'm still stuck with ballistics, what gives?

Beagle started new campaign! But where is update for this mod?! =(

If Firaxis used this mod's approach for the next XCOM, I'd be very happy. Makes the game so much more tactical.

y bald man no fix

bald

it's alright but the mod puts this bald guy on top of my soldier's names and I can't tell who's who

update pls

@hobbes2280 No, I didn't ever fix this but did still regularly used SPARKs as they are still quite useful as mobile full cover with a big gun. Looking back at Beagle's playthrough of OvA, he didn't seem to use the micromissles much himself, either.

I have the same issue with the sparks not being able to equip mussels and other heavy weapons. No item slots on them either. @op did you ever resolve this issue?

Ok, I just beat my campaign and want to say a few more things:
The whole concept the mod is based around, more realistic & tactical gunfights, kinda falls apart halfway through, around the time you get psi ops. I think psi ops really caused a lot of problems in general, as adding them to your roster also hampered the other main selling point of the mod: death. I had a grand total of 90 deaths up until ~October (when I got psi ops) and no deaths for the next 7 months until the campaign was over.
Some bugs you experienced during your campaign last year like the Avatar not spawning after hacking a codex happened to me as well.
The Chosen weapons are really good - perhaps too much - especially the Arashi. The sniper and Darkclaw felt the most fun to use, and I didn't get to use the Disruptor rifle much.
Please note that these criticisms are not me complaining that you suck, they are very vanilla issues and honestly I still think this modset is a massive improvement over base WOTC.

Been having lots of fun playing this modset! Just wanted to report some issues I've been experiencing, only mods I have installed are the ones listed in the Complete Collection.
Sparks don't seem to have the necessary slots to equip launchers or their explosives
The Chosen's Katana isn't equippable, but the Hunter's two weapons and Arashi work - haven't killed the warlock yet
I don't think this is something you can fix, but suppression is buggy. If you suppress a suppressing enemy, the aim malus from the enemy's suppression doesn't go away
While not necessarily a bug like the others, psi ops are op. Getting to psi ops is such a massive power increase for XCOM. I went from wiping every few missions to never losing a soldier after getting them
You might want to take Pyrrhic victories off or houserule that it can't be used in most situations. 1/4th of all missions can be ignored using one soldier & this mod
Thanks again, this is some of the most fun i’ve had with XCOM

I wonder if it would be possible to give armors a slot for vests similar to weapon upgrades? It never seems like vests are worth bringing over the other utility items.

@hobbes2280 Hey I learned that it was Iridar's Weapon Skin replacer. If you turn it off, you can buy those upgrades, close out, turn the Weapon Skin Replacer mod back on, and restart the game... and you'll be good to go.

Thanks, @DigThat !

@CatAtomic I’m having the same issue with laser weapons not appearing after the tech has been researched. I get the mag shorty and XSP 45 but no laser rifles or Gauss level weapons after unlocking that research. Were you able to resolve this issue?

Hi Beagle; don't know if anyone else has this problem, but the mod named 'long war 2 abilities for WOTC' has been removed from the workshop and its removed about 50% of the operators skill tree, the only abilities you get for the first 4 ranks are deadeye and rabbit, not sure if its just my game, hope this gets fixed as i cant promote anyone now, cheers.

NO OTHER MOD

This is the most fun mod I've played since the original Long War. Thanks a million for posting it, and for developing it. It's amazing how much more tactical and less gamey it feels.

Anyone else had trouble actually getting magnetic rifles to unlock? I've researched all the prerequisites, it seems... saw Shen shooting the prototype... but no joy.

Great mod! I love the feeling of it, it's something I've always wanted but never could quite put into words! So thanks for making this

My only concern so far has been with the default Pistol on Gatecrasher (USP I think?). There was a time during Gatecrasher when killing a suppressing, flanked Advent Trooper with the pistol caused the game to lock up and Advent would never take their next turn, even when trying to manually end turn with the "End" key. When I reloaded the save a bunch and just shot him with my rifle instead, it worked fine. But for some reason that pistol was just not having it.

Either way, still a great mod and I can't wait to see it get some more development!

Glad to hear it, thank you for the feedback! And I appreciate the skin replacer config, I meant to do this myself eventually so I might just benefit from yours there :)

Also, this mod is really awesome, loving it so far!
