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.

Thanks Iridar. The doc page https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1689878874 might need updating?
I'll try this and report. Thanks again.

@DabHand
That's not a valid syntax. WSR cannot add abilities to weapon upgrades. You can try using Template Master for this. Example command would be:

+Edit_X2WeaponUpgradeTemplate = (T = "FreeFireUpgrade_Bsc", P = "BonusAbilities", V = "CoolUnderPressure")

Use FreeFireUpgrade_Adv and FreeFireUpgrade_Sup for advanced and superior hair triggers respectively. FreeFireUpgrade upgrade itself is not used anywhere in the game, I'm pretty sure.

Has anyone successfully added abilities to weapon upgrades?
Using this format:
+GIVE_ABILITIES=(WEAPON_UPGRADE="FreeFireUpgrade", ABILITY="CoolUnderPressure")
Doesn't seem to work. I've tried different combinations of speech-marks as l see neither element has them in other 'GIVE_ABILITIES' examples from the doc, but no luck so far.

@TheProtofire
You probably have some mod that removes Suppression from weapons/soldiers that "shouldn't" have it.

Hi,
I want to use this mod to give all rifles/bullpups suppression by default. I'm using your Five Tier Overhaul mod and when I got to coil I could no longer use suppression. It still says that both weapon categories have suppression when I'm in the armory, but I don't have the option on missions.

+GIVE_ABILITIES=(TEMPLATE=AssaultRifle_CG, ABILITY=Suppression)
+GIVE_ABILITIES=(TEMPLATE=Bullpup_CG, ABILITY=Suppression)

Hi @Iridar, what is the difference beetwen RequiredItems and RequiredEquipment? also, will that requirement get consumed on crafting?

@Purassic Jark
It might be included into mod's exclusion list in the config.

even with all filters disabled i only found one elite muton cannon and it looks like the one i have instead of like the muton elites. I did see huge amount of different weapons from npcs, so the mod works on modded content, i just gave up on muton elite cannon and made myself a muton devastator with his weapon instead, thanks for the great mod Iridar.

@Iridar I have tried it out, but it showed nothing except remove skin. It worked with the normal soldier weapons though. Maybe its because its mod weapon of a mod soldier class, its a playable muton. But amazing mod for sure, thanks for help.

@Purassic Jark
Probably incorrect template name. Use XSkin mod, no need for config crawling.

+WEAPON_REPLACEMENT=(ACCEPTOR_TEMPLATE=PA_MutonCannon, DONOR_TEMPLATE=MutonM3_LW_WPN)

Dont understand why it doesnt work, i try to replace the canon of playable aliens with muton elite canon from lwotc integrated alien pack. I tried mid campaign, nothing changes, i have the first basic tier of the canon, and in the template of PA PA_MutonCannon is the conventional TemplateName.

Thanks for this mod! It is so powerful what you can do with that, it's amazing

Huzza! I got it to work! O man I am excited about this!

Thank you again a million @Iridar!

Thanks for the response. I clearly did something wrong, because all the modded weapons aren't showing lol. Back to reading I go!
