@Charmed
I pilfered your OnPostTemplatesCreated() function in an - at present personal mod - that adds Dodge and Mobility bonuses to the Bullpup. Do you mind if I publish it?

I ended up doing something similar, though I set it to the same as the SMG, which I think is something like MedShort. Bullpups feel like shorter ranged weapons than a full-on Rifle, but not as short as what was in Vanilla. If you relate the Bullpups to P90s and the Rifles to, say, M16s, the M16 has about 2 times the max firing range and 3 times the effective firing range of a P90.

Small but good

Like all of your MOD

Awesome, thank you.

@deagroth yep, would be fine.

Would this work alongside other mods that change the damage/accuracy/crit/etc of a weapon, but don't touch the range table?

and it's will be added with my own modification (rise the damage to the stock riffle, in fact). Thanks

a great mod. As the rifle should be.

@supremejeans, I will forgive firaxis for maybe not having a unch of weapons experts on staff :)

Thanks for this, it was a very silly choice on firaxis's end to make the bullpup a short range rifle... I mean the bullpup design was meant for a rifle to have a longer firing range whilst being compact.

Just like to compliment you on your code style. That's a far more elegent method of hooking into the templates than I've tried so far :p

Oh, thanks for that.

New tables are easy enough, http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1129694779 is a good example of it.

If I make a weapon configurator I'll just give every weapon its own range table, there's not much reason for them to share other than simplification of the game.

Is it possible for one to create a whole new weapon type and range table for it or is a modder stuck with the premade ones? I'd love for the bullpup to use a custom table of short up to Range 8 and then switch to medium at range 9+ as that's the whole point of a a bullpup. A gun with superior size and weapon control for CQC while maintaining the longer barrel and thus better accuracy once you step outside.

@ Ludibrius- exactly! It is a rifle with a MORE advanced configuration that actually should increase acuracy at burst and full-auto as well as make a soldier more maneuverable since the gun has a lower profile. This is a good mod.

seeing as a bullpup is an ar/sr/dmr type weapon not a shotgun.

This makes a lot more sense, thank you! If they wanted a gun with less accuracy they should have given him a carbine or SMG or something. The whole point of a bullpup is to have a full length rifle in a shorter package.

@noname, pretty sure they said in the game that they shouold use their weapon at close range

@noname i assume it's because the class is focus on close range in general.
You have like 4 ways to get right next to an enemy and unload 2 or more shots.
Be a bit op if you had good range on top of also having so much mobility.

Thanks, now I can use them more effectively

They could've called it an SMG and I don't think anyone would've minded.

No wonder they sucked. Ugh. Thanks for the fix.

So this is why the class felt underwhelming... thanks a lot!

Good work, bro

HA! They had them as short range? Did they screw up accuracy or anything? Bullpups don't pull as much as long rifles since the action of the gun is further back (balanced better).

That's odd. A bullpup is a rifle, just put together differently
THanks for this mod!

Oh sweet jesus i was just thinking about that thank you
