Jet Shot doesn't seem to work for some reason and i'm unsure why. Clear LOS to both enemy and the sky and yet when I use Jet Shot everything is greyed out. Tried a number of different soldiers and nothing works. Any ideas?

Ok I know I am extremely late for this, but I figured out what my issue from long ago was.
There is a mod conflict between EU aim rolls and this one. Basically it doesn't give the ''Height advantage'' Aim bonus it should and I don't know why it does this. Disabled EU aim rolls and this mods works again.

Hey, I need to know... is it possible to remove the restriction of heavy, light or medium armor for skills? Especially for jetshot

Thanks

In the proving grounds every project seemingly states that it unlocks Booster Jets. I have already crafted some and it's still there.

Yes, in the config.

Iridar, is there a way to disable cosmetic jet pack auto-equip function?

No, I don't know how to do that.

First of all thank you for the mod, a must have in any playthrough.
A small request if possible can we get a retexture for the first jetpack in the list, it's very low quality an muddy.
TY!

how do I spawn this with console

if you want floating/flying, the valkyrie armor from requiem has it.

Probably not at this point.

Iridar you may well be responsible for half the good mods for xcom though i have to ask will the jets ever have the functionality of the xcom 1 armor? floating and flying i mean

Then I don't know, should be working.

Neither.

Are you using Mod Jam or standalone Dynamic Deployment mod?

Yes, I have at least one soldier equipped with a booster jet armor on the Avenger. (Tested this with an EXVENT Officer and a regular soldier, both failed)

In order for dynamic deployment to work, you need to leave soldiers equipped with booster jets on the Avenger, is that what you did?

Just gonna bump this here for potential notice, but for some reason, the Dynamic Deployment ability is not showing up on anyone. This is even with soldiers equipped with booster jets (using the Armor Upgrade version, so booster jets equipped on armor), and setting the config to allow for soldiers above max squad size limit.

I have the Dynamic Deployment GTS purchased as well.

I've been searching around for something to replace XCOM 1 Archangel armor, surprised no one has ported it standalone. The Psi Ops mod has an enemy that does it, but I guess no one has figured out how to do flying controls like the original?

The Jet Shot ability works mechanically like the archangel armor of course, but I miss the flight movement and dogfighting with floaters...

Alright I got em! Thanks! For anyone wanting to know its IRI_JetBoosters_MK2 and IRI_JetBoosters_MK1 for Elerium and Normal respectively.

I linked you the instructions on how to find the names.

I should have clarified, what are the names of the boosters? Are they eleriumjets and boosterjets respectively?

@TheYearlyMonkey
It doesn't, but you can just use game's own AddItem command.

Hey Iridar! Amazing mod and I haven't run into any issues so far. Quick question, does this mod have console commands to add the boosters?

Yes.

is this mod workingin 2024?

Same as most of my mods, and most content mods in general, it's not compatible with LWOTC out of the box, and requires Mod Jam.

I'm not sure if anyone else has posted this, but if anyone is using LWOTC, you have to go to XComJetPacks.ini and add:

+SHOOTING_ABILITIES_ALLOWED_WHILE_FLYING=LightEmUp

Or you won't be able to shoot with your ranger while using Jet Shot. I'm a little embarrassed to say it took me quite some time to realize why my ranger couldn't shoot when he engaged the jets.

Also, if you engage Jet Shot and cancel it as an LWOTC Ranger, I've noticed that Ever Vigilant won't trigger. Is that by design?

(Btw, thanks for the mod Iridar. It's really great work!)

@Zarquon
In theory yes, in practice I'm not gonna bother. You can't even purchase DLC separately anyway, and if you don't like the Alien Hunters content, you don't have to engage with it. Just enable the DLC mission and never go on it.

Would it be possible to make this without the Alien Hunters DLC requirement? That DLC is less that 40% positive with almost everyone saying the game is better without it.

@Azeral
You mean Icarus Jump?

Possible to add the Icarus relocate ability for the jetpack?

Not practically possible.

Man, so I ADORE this mod but I've been trying to figure out- how hard would it be to "merge" the jetpack with some of the torso gear it replaces, like when you equip it on a Skirmisher? I'd love to have that 'shoulder straps' effect to make it look like say, the type B or type C gear is holding the pack on.

@Iridar
Thank you! I've been reading it from cover to cover for a few days now, but my translation software seems to have missed this phrase.

I'll try to equip the Spark with a jetpack with some mod.

@Mcgillis Fareed
Tried everything except one thing the mod's description is telling you is required... Yes, you need to equip booster jets to use dynamic deployment with this mod. Or ise the standalone Dynamic Deployment mod.

I have tried everything, but the Dynamic Deployment feature does not work for sparks!

I don't have the Spark expansion mod, do I need to equip the Spark with a jetpack with the mod?

@Iridar thanks so much for the prompt attention but, I'm still getting the malus from UnitHeightDisadvantagePenalty, even after the update of Oct 29. :( Tried resubbing this mod + resetting my config files, no luck. The only other thing I can think of is starting a whole new game but I don't think that should affect it? I have started new tactical engagements to check.

To clarify, since my initial report had some confusing wording:

I'm getting the malus whenever JetShot is activated, regardless of my elevation in relation to the target. Your changelog mentions height disadvantage when below target, but I still get the malus even if I'm level with my target. Fwiw I took a screen to show what I'm seeing. [imgur.com]

No problem, Thank you very much for your response. :)

@RakkoHug~<3
Not without writing code for that, which I'm not gonna do.

Iridar, is there a way to make DLC flight armor to be compatible with jet pack parts? So that the jet packs from your mod "lights up" when flying with the DLC flight armor?

@turtledactyl
I pushed a fix for the height disadvantage thing you mentioned, let me know if it's fixed for you.

@Iridar thanks!

And it turned out to be from Mitzruti's Perk Pack. Thank you again Iridar. :)

Oh, I somehow thought it belonged to the Jet Pack or the Iridar's perk pack since it mentioned compatibility. My apologies, I will report it to the proper mod message board. Thank you very much :)

@RakkoHug~<3
I don't know what is Sonic Boom, whatever it is it's not mine.

Potential BUG: Specialist equips Elerium Jetpack -> Engage Jet Shot -> Sonic Boom ability gets disabled (despite mentioning synergy with Jet Shot in its tool tip) -> Disengage Jet Shot -> Sonic Boom becomes available again

@Iridar
Well I guess I don't know then :P
Very strange.

@Alexander
I do not make voice mods, but that's irrelevant, vanilla voicepacks work fine in WOTC, as long as you use the Alternative Mod Launcher. You can't purchase individual DLCs currently, they're all part of a bundle.

@horsepowerYT
Define "disabled". If you uninstall the DLC via Steam interface, then no, obviously it doesn't count. But you can choose whatever options you want at the campaign start, it doesn't matter. E.g. you can use the Integrated DLC option or not use it, this mod won't care.
