@Thedudejamie Download the Alternative Mod Launcher from Github.

No workshop mods are working for me anymore, ive tried to re download again and nothing, any suggestion would be a great help

where is XComAbilityToSlotReassignment.ini located?

Very cool mod. Thanks!! BTW where can i get those armors too?

this mod maybe dont work at all with fleche from long war . anyone knows how to patched ?

@HeavenAchieved Whether you used "AbilityToSlotReassignment"?If so, open the "XComAbilityToSlotReassignment.ini" and add it. The.ini is easy to read

Just a question. Katana read "pierce 3" so it should ignore at least 3 armor if the target correct? Asking because seems armour is fully coubtend when shash with the katana.
Don't know if is a mod conflicting anyway
Thank you

And it comes like 3 options of the same weapon for each Vortex weapon.

Vortex Stuff showed to me on Item craft but it just consumes resources and gives me nothing.

Hey came to ask if this mod cold allow for selling the swords at the market as i seem to be getting a lot of these in the covert missions/infiltration's mod

hey any reason why katanas don’t trigger blademaster anymore? it doesn’t trigger extra damage or say blademaster when using slash. I use them in the primary slot if that helps

FYI; Musashi retired from modding xcom 2 (3?) years ago. So unless he comes out of retirement, what you have here is what you get.

Theyre nice but I dont know why you had to make them so stupidly overpowered.

Is it possible to make the vortex upgrades instead of single items?

Does the Wakizashi count as a combat knife for stat bonuses?

After some trial and error I was able to get it working by adding the lines
+StealthAbilities=(AbilityName=MusashiVoidStrike, bAlwaysKeepConcealment=true, WeaponCategoryRequirements=(sword))
+StealthAbilities=(AbilityName=VoidStrikeFleche, bAlwaysKeepConcealment=true, WeaponCategoryRequirements=(sword))
to the StealthOverhaul.ini in the ability list.
I kind of expected this to already be there, going by the ability's misleading description...

Just got to endgame and tried using Void Strike, with the description explicitly stating that Silent Takedown does not increase suspicion level, but reveals my soldier when I use it. How do I go about making Void Strike keep concealment? I also have Stealth Overhaul installed, which I presume is the intended mod for this description.

Using Covert Infiltration
After buying one energy katana, I slowly started receiving extra energy katanas for free
(Bought 1 and now have 29 extra for free)

how do you apply elerium coating to swords? Does anyone know?

@zin it works with lwotc

Greetings, where would I find the Vortex Upgrade? Proving Grounds or Build Items? Thank you.

Like zin, I'm also wondering if this works with LWOTC. The pics look amazing.

Does it work with LWotC?

The Bladestorm ability has altered text, presumably by this mod, referring to katanas. Does it still work with other melee weapons? I hope so.

@jat1124197 well this is... very suspicious.

the mod wont show up in mod menu

Is there a new version of this mod for vanilla? The previous vanilla version doesnt have sheaths.

Also there is a bridge for this shield mod as well:https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2526466048
I wasn't clear if you needed a bridge for that too, so apologies if this info is redundant

@bryan_03_93 There is a bridge for this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2572863597

so im having an issue where i buy the next tier for the sword but these dont show up past the conventional. i suspect its because im using covert infiltration as that mod makes it to where all weapons are built individually instead of a squad upgrade. since it happened with the shield mod as well and its been confirmed, i suspect the same happened here. is there maybe a possibility for you to create a bridge for this? or am i wrong entirley and the issue could be something else?

@FishNuts:
go to ".../Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/1123865738//Config/XComKatanaMod.ini" on your computer. Open with Notepad or Notepad++. Find 'base damage'. Edit #'s to your liking.

is there a way to change the damage values?

Can you update this mod with the ability to change the costs for the Vortex swords? It's locked at 200 supplies, 1 brain, 10 alloy / elerium and this isn't good for the modded game I play. When I change the costs in the "src" file it does not change in game so I don't know how to change this.

is there a wai to change the names of the weapons? is it possible through edditing the .ini files?

I have a bug where i get an +aim bones even if i unequip the katana, but I am not sure that this mod causes this. Anyone seen such thing?

I don't think the mod works with LWOTC. When I try to use silent takedown with the ninjato (or the specops combat knives) I'm always revealed, even after a successful kill

Hi. Is it LWOTC compatible? Excellent job. Thanks!

I currently have this mod the rpg overhaul, primary secondaries, duel wield, and musashi's armory ui but for some reason no matter how I add/remove mods I cant equip katanas as primaries. Any solutions or ideas?

This weapon is cheating

Where can I find the Sakura texture for the katana as shown in the 11th & 12th screenshot?

Just finished a campaign with about 280 mods, this one included, and had no major issues! Did not get to use them much, but stats looked fine between upgrades from what I remember. Thanks for making this.

I have a weird issue where the damage never updates when I get a new tech level the energy katana are the same damage as the regular ones does anyone else have this issue?

Weird bug. I upgraded to Energy Katanas and Wakisashis, and when I go to equip to my Shinobi Class, I only see a Wakisashi. I go to my Psi Op and the Katana is there, it's just not reading as a katana on my Shinobi class. Anyone have a fix for this.

@GodBrand read the long war install instructions properly. if you installed the highlander manualy as instructed you can ignore those warnings.

Characters keep unequipping the katanas and equipping common swords between missions. Some way to avoid this?

In the pictures i can see these swords with and without the scabbards. How to change between those?

Playing with LWOTC via AML. Just an FYI I loaded this mod in AML and states that I'm missing a dependency because of the community highlander mod which I already have. Played anyway with the warning and still works. Not sure if I'll face an issue down the road. Anyone experience the same?

@taylem I downloaded a loadout UI mod that seemed to ahve fixed my issue, only thing is I can't find the jedi training saber from the jedi revised mod but I'm able to equip the katanas now.

@Defiled I think many mods that use the Highlander are having problems because as the Highlander evolves, those mods are not being updated and thus becoming potentially defunct. Not sure if that is the issue with this one, but it is possible.

@Taylem I have the same issue, I'm having a hard time finding the mod causing this. Is it this mod?
