@angstcannon Made a fix

@angstcannon In the description of 5 tier weapon mod

Q: How does this weapon tier overhaul work with mods that add three tiers of their weapons?
A: It does a bit of trickery: the Tier 3 "coil" research and schematics are actually magnetic ones behind the scenes, so mod-added weapons that require magnetic research/schematics will become available when you get to coil weapons with this mod.

Found a compatibility error with the 5 tier weapon mod. Mag tier strike and battle rifles don't appear in engineering until the coil tier is completely researched.

Where do you find the content folder shown in the second image?

Is there a way to fix the suppression sound effect not playing?

Good evening. Great mod idea - thanks for the hard work. A quick question. Is it possible within the configs to restrict a class to only be able to use the battle rifle and not the cannon? I am using a "Heavy" class which can use cannons - but I would like to limit it to just battle rifles.

Is there an easy way to fix the missing audio on suppressing with the Battle Rifle?

Hello, is it possible to add comparability to LWOTC's weight system in the configs so that items reduce mobility when equiped

Strike Rifle can't move and overwatch by default is kinda weird

I'm trying to tweak the Strike Rifles to only take one turn to fire, would changing their class to rifle be enough? or would i have to tweak something else as well?

Not sure if this is possible (or allowed by the author of Wolf's asset pack), but is it not possible to publish a "Wolf's Asset pack for LWOTC" without the conflicting files. So that any lwotc mod can depend on that for a "subscribe & play" experience (also for collections), instead of always including a "manually solve these conflicts instruction".

Anyone know if this works with Iridar's 5 tier weapons mod? I've been looking for an LMG for Cannon replaced for a while and this seems to be the only one I can find.

What was the config editing you mentioned would need to be done to use this mod outside of Long War?

To anyone else who comes after me: Found the solution. First, DL Another of Iridars mods, here:

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1709345052&searchtext=Weapon+skin+config

And then add this line to the config:

+CHANGE_TEMPLATE=(TEMPLATE=WEAPON_NAME, SET_WEAPON_CAT=CANNON)

Where you replacce "WEAPON_NAME" with whatever you want to swap, and then the type you're changing to on the other side of the equal sign.

@sloppyGiuseppe and/or @kiruka

Did you even manage to find that option? I'd like to do the exact same thing. Kiruka, many thanks for all your hard work! Can you help us out here? I'd like other classes to be able to equip Battle Rifles. Where is the option to change its class from Cannon to Rifle?

I've reached a point that I simply could not imagine not using this mod anymore. Battle Rifle really pairs amazingly well with your Heavy class specced towards overwatch and suppression, the Strike Rifle lets me use some of my favorite sniper characters even in missions where they would otherwise simply not be viable. Thank you for making this mod, it has become an essential one to me.

it isnt a new campaign granted. but the first tier still shows up no problem

Hello there author. When i download the requirements and then this mod, the higher tier rifles dont show up only the ballistic ones. I really love the idea of this mod in giving more choice to the classes. any idea what i can do to make this work please

So i managed to make this thing to work with wotc and iridar's 5 tier overhaul, the onpy problem left is making it infinite
I have no idea how to do that

Love the battle rifle but have no sound effect when using suppression skill - anything else works. Any ideas?

I'm looking to do exactly what you mention in your last comment - cange the Battle Rifle's weapon category to Rifle, but I cannot find where to do this in the configs - I had assumed it would be in the XcomBSR_BRSR_BattleRifles_Options.ini wih the other weapon data, but I don't see it. I could just allow various classes to equip cannons to get the same effect, but I'd rather change the weapon category to avoid Armory clutter. Could you please point me to where to make this change?

Many thanks for your work on this and the absoultey superb Mod Jam :)

@Arkay You would either need to allow Rangers to equip Cannons, or allow Gunners to equip Rifles after changing the Battle Rifle's weapon category to Rifle.

This is amazing work, being able to have something akin to Strike Rifle Scout builds from LW1 is already such a relief for me.

I'm curious though, is there any way to make the Battle Rifles work on LWOTC Ranger class as well as Gunners?

@123nick Quickburn does. The others probably not.

I noticed the Juggernaught uses the Gauntlet, and thus has flamethrower perks.... do these apply too the Underbarrel Flamethrower aswell?! (when using Mod Jam for LWOTC?)

@123nick The Heavy is a good example, as is the Gunner from LWOTC. Both of them have a lot of emphasis on Suppression, but they can still be good at regular Overwatch.

However, Russian Roulette isn't the only advantage of the Battle Rifle; it's also the only Cannon-class weapon that can use Underbarrels and Bayonets. Shadow Ops' Juggernaut can certainly put an underbarrel flamethrower to good use.

Any good classes that make use of a Cannon while also having good overwatch perks? for me, the problem with battle rifles is i rarely have a class that can use em properly. my best option id think is the Heavy for LWOTC which has holo-targetting and some other overwatch perk i cant remember right now, but thats it.

My biggest concern is that, a battle rifle from the LW2 mod (assault rifle but with +1dmg, -1mob, -1clip size) is not there, and tbh is nowhere to be found.. Any idea on how to change the battle rifle (which is a sniper gun here) into the bulky assault rifle?

All 5 tiers?

All of them.

@Mulligan Any particular tier or all of them?

Hey. Thanks for this mod. But i have a problem with the battlerifle. I havn't any sound when my men shot whit it. Did I forget to change something ?

Found the problem, new to the alternative mod launcher, didn't realise it hides mods no longer in use. Must of happened when I was messing around with mod selection. Works perfectly fine now

New campaign, I looked through the categories available, the conventional tier don't appear in either the cannon or sniper rifle selections

@El Psy Congroo Is this a new campaign or an existing campaign? In order for the conventional versions to appear you need a new campaign. Higher tiers should show up as buildable in Engineering if you have appropriate research done.

No idea about Tactical Armoury UI, I don't use it.

I thought that might be the case, thanks for replying. Do you think you might know whats up with it not appearing or if its a bug due to something like Tactical Armoury UI?

@El Psy Congroo This mod doesn't add new weapon categories. The Battle Rifle is in the cannon category, and the Strike Rifle is in the sniper_rifle category.

They don't appear as options in the RPG Overhaul, I need the template name/ weapon type but the ones I've tried from looking in the config don't work

+AllowedWeapons=(SlotType=eInvSlot_PrimaryWeapon, WeaponType="????")

Thanks!

@Cypress, Master Spy of IKEA I just dropped an update that should fix that issue.

Hi there, I noticed that when this mod is on a lot of perk icons for Chimera and maybe some other classes that use Ketaros' 2d icons have broken icons because of it. This is after following the instructions left in the LWOTC Discord for the Wolf's assets mod. Taking out the files specified for that mod did nothing, but removing Ketaros from this fixed numerous abilities' icons being broken, especially CC Shinobi/Wraith.

This is when it loads after Chimera. Can anyone else confirm this?

Hi Kiruka, I saw in an earlier post you made that there are some config updates needed to switch the higher-tier versions from being single-item builds into a squad upgrade - I've been looking into the documentation for WSR but I'm not quite sure how to go about making this change. If you have a spare few minutes, would you mind pointing me in the right direction?

If anyone's encountering weird bugs (they've been pretty inconsistent for me) regarding visualization or whatnot, I'm going to put a possible solution in a discussion thread.

Has anyone else encountered the coil rifles being bugged? Mine don't have any firing sounds or projectiles and all the attachments have missing images.

To simulate Battle Rifle LW1 behavior, you could do something like give it an innate aim penalty of -10, but also have it come with a clone of the Steady Hands ability (for primary only). I don't really care to make that myself though. I have a lot of projects on the go already.

@Postmo
If you know your way around using WSR you can get the limited squadsight in the form of the Marksman ability from the SpecOps class . Just attach it to the cannons you wanna use as LMGs and disable the class itself if you just want the perk. Dunno about anything that replicates Battle Rifle behavior tho.

Would it be possible to give the strike rifles and LMGs limited squadsight and the BR's lowered accuracy if fired after moving like they had in the last couple LW1 builds? ive always wanted a faithful remake for the LW1 weapon set, but I dont think i've see it. I know this is probably out of the scope of your mod but as far as I can tell it would require some scripting and yours seems to be the only LW1-esque weapon mod to have more in depth abilities than just stat edits

@ptr I didn't check any visual attachments other than the ones I added myself (bayonets, underbarrels) since I just copied the setup used in Wolf's Asset Pack.

I wanted some of the new guns to give +1 mobility and u suggested giving them Sprinter via WSR in the ABBA comment section so I looked into it, seems to work fine (already did the same for guns in this mod as well XD). Everything seems to be working fine now - didn't do much so idk, just resubscribed to ABBA and did the exact same config changes and it works🤷‍♂️ Thanks for the offer tho <3

BTW not sure if you caught it already but the laser strike rifle seems to have wrong suppressor model assigned - rn it has the one that's meant for the normal laser rifle (I think the pulser uses that one or similar) so it's wide instead of long and glitches through the sides of the barrel instead of extending it ^^

@ptr I used ABBA's conventional LMG for testing some issues I was having with visual attachments very recently (around the same time I released this mod). New campaign, all of the conventional weapons for ABBA as well as the Battle Rifle and Strike Rifle showed up. I have a fairly long list of mods myself.

You mention "giving the LMG a Sprinter". I take it you used WSR or something to add the Sprinter ability to it? I can take a look at your personal configs if you want a second pair of eyes on it.
