er, config code to make this work

i'm looking at trying to alter the mag SMG so that it fires like the mag bullpup in its anims, if someone already has a mod for that, send me a link to it, if no mod exists rn, send me the code to make this work

Sorry, but I'm not gonna be holding your hand here. If you can't figure it on your own, you can try asking for help on the modmaking discord.

Good morning @Iridar, thank you for your help so far.

I have added +WeaponCategories="C4" to the XComGameData.ini in OCWR

I have added these 3 lines in XComWeaponSkinReplacer.ini
+CHANGE_TEMPLATE=(TEMPLATE="TacticalC4", SET_WEAPON_CAT="C4", SET_INVENTORY_SLOT=eInvSlot_SecondaryWeapon)
+CHANGE_TEMPLATE=(TEMPLATE="TacticalX4", SET_WEAPON_CAT="C4", SET_INVENTORY_SLOT=eInvSlot_SecondaryWeapon)
+CHANGE_TEMPLATE=(TEMPLATE="TacticalE4", SET_WEAPON_CAT="C4", SET_INVENTORY_SLOT=eInvSlot_SecondaryWeapon)

And I have added this line to one of my custom classes in the XComClassData.ini

Would you happen to know if there is anything I have done wrong or missed?

You need to give the X4 a new weapon category and set the secondary weapon inventory slot for it. Then in the soldier class config in XComClassData.ini, allow that weapon category in the secondary weapon slot.

Hi again @Iridar.

Could you explain what line I would need to add to this mods ini file to achieve turning the Tactical X4 item into a secondary weapon.

I have looked through the documentation for WSR but am unsure about which variables need to be added.

Should be

Hi @Iridar. I was wondering if you could tell me, is it possible to use this mod to alter the availability of the WotC Tactical X4 mods item, so that it becomes a secondary weapon that can only be used by a specific class?

That did it! Thank you so much! I'm really not proficient with coding so would have never found out that was the issue even if it was that simple. You're a life saver thank you really!

@Grompaa
By starting a line with ; you're commenting it out so the game never reads it.

Thanks for the quick reply! This is the command I've been using: ;+PROJECTILE_REPLACEMENT=(ACCEPTOR_TEMPLATE=BF4Railgun_MG, DONOR_TEMPLATE=ChosenSniperRifle_XCOM)
I also tried the same but using only base game weapons to test: ;+PROJECTILE_REPLACEMENT=(ACCEPTOR_TEMPLATE=VektorRifle_BM, DONOR_TEMPLATE=Bullpup_CV) also didn't seem to work... Im putting the commands under the "enter your commands bellow" on the ini file. is there something I'm missing maybe? Thanks again for the reply!

Hi. Something about the command is incorrect, that's the most I can say.

Hi @Iridar, been enjoying quite a few of your mods and this one has been an interesting one to learn but I've been having an issue with a projectile replacement... I'm trying to give a modded weapon (bf4 railgun) the chosen sniper rifle projectile effect. I've managed to get all the information to make the command work but for some reason it doesn't seem to affect it at all. I'm not super experienced with modding so I hope you could offer some light on what the issue could be. Thanks for the great mod!

hey, sorry if this question has already been asked but how do i make weapons invisible? mainly for the spark

Ahh that makes a lot of sense, so the path is already in game then. Thanks a lot!

If a mod doesn't have a content folder it means it's using assets from another mod (which would be typically marked as required) or from the game itself, which I assume is the case for cut content ammo, cuz it's literally game's cut content.

Hi @Iridar, thanks for the great mod! You mention in the documentation If you want to use assets from a certain mod that aren't active, you copy the Content folder into another active mod. But I've noticed some mods like Cut Content Ammo by GrimyBunyip don't have a content folder, what do you do then?

I ask because I want the ammo from [WOTC] Cut Content Ammo to look like Cut Content Ammo by GrimyBunyip. The two are duplicates and can't run together, but I really like how the latter looks, but the former has better rounds overall. Any advice? Thanks!

@Iridar, как заменить улучшение Буллпаппа, чтобі он улучшался вместе со Штурмовой винтовкой?

From reading the Documentation for Template master, this is what I wrote for the Plasma Warhead:
+Edit_X2WeaponTemplate = (T = "PLASMAGRENADEMK3", P = "Cost",\\
Cost = (ResourceCosts[0] = (ItemTemplateName = "Supplies", Quantity = 20),\\
ResourceCosts[1] = (ItemTemplateName = "AlienAlloy", Quantity = 1),\\
ResourceCosts[2] = (ItemTemplateName = "EleriumDust", Quantity = 1),\\
ArtifactCosts[0] = (ItemTemplateName = "EleriumCore", Quantity = 1)))

that would be done more easily with template master.

Similar to this:
+Edit_X2WeaponTemplate = (T = "Medikit", P = "HideIfResearched", OP = "Remove")
+Edit_X2WeaponTemplate = (T = "NanoMedikit", P = "HideIfResearched", OP = "Remove")
+Edit_X2WeaponTemplate = (T = "NanoMedikit", P = "BaseItem", OP = "Remove")
+Edit_X2WeaponTemplate = (T = "BioMedikit", P = "BaseItem", OP = "Remove")

making them buildable can be done in WSR or Template Master by setting CanBeBuilt to true and adding a cost

I want to change the grenades from Superior explosives from being upgraded automatically by the Superior explosives weapons project, to built individually after research, what command would i use to edit to remove the grenades from being upgraded?

@Forny
Read the documentation, the "WEAPONS_TO_HIDE_KEEP_SCHEMATIC" command does just that.

Alternatively, you can do that with the Item Hider mod using in-game UI.

Yeah, in the exact same boat as you Forny, annoying that the cod weapon classes don't apply to LWOTC.

wow, this mod is awesome. But I'm a little useless with these things. I replace the weapons in the game with more realistic weapon skins like those in the CoD mods using the xSkin mod but it is very tedious to do it on each soldier one by one when you play Long War of the Chosen with dozens of soldiers. Also I don't want all those weapons to appear in the game's armory and so on. I want them to remain as ghost templates. I think all that could be changed with this mod but I can't figure out how to do it.

@Iridar Ok thx

@Gwynbleiid
Yes, add it as a default attachment.

Question, can I make a weapon have a weapon attachment visual even if it doesn't have the attachment? Like adding the visuals of the repeater for all Vektor tiers as default visuals

That's not unexpected.

I succesfully changed weapon projectiles, however, If I change weapon appearence using Xskin, the projectile does not apply.

Is it possible to add the -10 aim and -1 mobility of the base ballistic shields mod to other mods that add new shields but don't include the negative stat effects? Some shield mods have it and some don't, and I can't find the exact way in which they have included the stat debuff

Currently not.

Is it possible using this mod to remove the light from flashlight ? i just want the attachment, but the flash light gone.

I can't manage to make sniper rifles (from mods or vanilla) to change rate of fire. What is the proper INI code for it? I tried the 'change rate of fire' and 'change animation commands but no luck...

хз посмотри как в Mod Jam прописано.

@iridar,
Thanks, Will do.

@STRIKER
Use XSkin instead.

is there any way to streamline this somewhat? i'm kinda fearful at the idea to read a full doc and enter several command lines just to cosmetically change a rifle's appearence

Its not the animation that bothers me really, i just want to have a kenetic glaive for thier psi weapon so i can make a 40k grey knight.

You can reskin shard gauntlets all you want, but shard blades are a part of the templar Rend animations and cannot be changed.

Could i use this to make templar shard blade look and act like a sword but still be shards??

Hi im trying to change the icon of an ability and i just want to make sure the command im using is correct because it doesn't seem to work.

+CHANGE_ABILITY_TEMPLATE = (TEMPLATE = "WOTC_APA_AmbushToggle", ICON_IMAGE = "img:///UILibrary_WOTC_APA_Class_Pack.perk_Ambush")

I cant seem to get this work.

@Dragon32 & XpanD

Oh for Frith's sake... lol. Yes, that did it. Thanks all. :-D

@Haywire
Try "cannon" not "canon", unless you're changing some religious law.

Those IDs aren't correct, you're missing one of the "N"s in "Cannon". Does it work with those added in?

Hey all! So, I've used this setup to make all tier cannons look like tier 1 but lately it seems to have defaulted back to vanilla models for each tier. Has the syntax changed lately or am I missing something? I haven't made any changes for awhile now.

+WEAPON_REPLACEMENT=(ACCEPTOR_TEMPLATE=Canon_CV, DONOR_TEMPLATE=Canon_CV)
+WEAPON_REPLACEMENT=(ACCEPTOR_TEMPLATE=Canon_MG, DONOR_TEMPLATE=Canon_CV)
+WEAPON_REPLACEMENT=(ACCEPTOR_TEMPLATE=Canon_BM, DONOR_TEMPLATE=Canon_CV)

@Metal Machine
По идее такая замена должна заменять анимации тоже, не знаю с чего бы звуку пропадать.

@Iridar, смотри, заменил себе оружейку, но на пулемете, замененным z6, пропал звук. Это значит что он завязан на анимацию и будет работать только на родном темплейте?

+WEAPON_REPLACEMENT=(ACCEPTOR_TEMPLATE=Cannon_CV, DONOR_TEMPLATE=WP_Z6Rotary, HIDE_ACCEPTOR_ATTACHMENTS=True, HIDE_DONOR_TEMPLATE=True, HIDE_DONOR_SCHEMATIC=True)

+WEAPON_REPLACEMENT=(ACCEPTOR_TEMPLATE=Cannon_MG, DONOR_TEMPLATE=WP_Z6Rotary, HIDE_ACCEPTOR_ATTACHMENTS=True, HIDE_DONOR_TEMPLATE=True, HIDE_DONOR_SCHEMATIC=True)

+WEAPON_REPLACEMENT=(ACCEPTOR_TEMPLATE=Cannon_BM, DONOR_TEMPLATE=WP_Z6Rotary, HIDE_ACCEPTOR_ATTACHMENTS=True, HIDE_DONOR_TEMPLATE=True, HIDE_DONOR_SCHEMATIC=True)

+WEAPONS_TO_HIDE=WP_Z6Rotary_MG
+WEAPONS_TO_HIDE=WP_Z6Rotary_BM

The goal is to have the lower-tier items disappear from the menu if mag/beam is already unlocked, but I just seem to get all three showing at the same time. I've tried passing in Cannon_MG_Schematic/Cannon_BM_Schematic as well, but same result.

Anything I'm missing here, or any other ways to approach this? Thanks. (again!)

(testing these on a fresh debug cheat campaign, in case that affects anything)

I'm currently trying to create an upgrade path for an item that's been converted to single production, but I'm hitting a bit of a roadblock -- I can't seem to get HIDE_IF_PURCHASED to work.

Here's what I'm doing:
+CHANGE_TEMPLATE=(TEMPLATE=WP_GethSpitfire, SET_CAN_BE_BUILT=1, SET_STARTING_ITEM=0, HIDE_IF_PURCHASED=Cannon_MG, CHANGE_REQUIREMENTS=true, RESOURCE_COSTS[0]=(costs here))
+CHANGE_TEMPLATE=(TEMPLATE=WP_GethSpitfire_MG, SET_CAN_BE_BUILT=1, SET_STARTING_ITEM=0, HIDE_IF_PURCHASED=Cannon_BM, CHANGE_REQUIREMENTS=true, REQUIREMENTS=(RequiredTechs[0]=GaussWeapons), RESOURCE_COSTS[0]=(costs here))
+CHANGE_TEMPLATE=(TEMPLATE=WP_GethSpitfire_BM, SET_CAN_BE_BUILT=1, SET_STARTING_ITEM=0, CHANGE_REQUIREMENTS=true, REQUIREMENTS=(RequiredTechs[0]=HeavyPlasma), RESOURCE_COSTS[0]=(costs here))

@DabHand
So that's where you got the syntax from. Very weird. The fact that it's in the documentation indicates that this functionality was present in the mod at some point. But I don't see it in the mod project for Weapon Skin Replacer. Very, very weird. Updated the doc, thanks.
