Sorry to bother you Artek, recently my campaign session has developed most curious bug. The Laser cannon, when Xskined from Tier 2 Magnetic cannon, no longer spins its barrels and plays magnetic cannon animation instead. What could cause such a thing?

Thank you very much for your help

If all else fails, try verifying your cache files. Sometimes the game needs to be reminded that "Its okay for this mod to be here."

Is it? Its showing 629.954 MB for me on this page right here. Are you sure it downloaded correctly?

@Artek [General] Ooo awesome!

What I meant by "Haven't gotten to the tier yet" meaning I haven't gotten to tier 3 weapons just yet, so I haven't seen the all the coil guns in practice myself.
Artek [General]  [author] Feb 13, 2023 @ 3:31am 
Yes, there are pistols and even SMGs too. However: what do you mean "haven't go to the tier" yet? Because this mod doesn't add anything on its' own, you need to use Weapon Skin Replacer to replace your guns with these.
T'erissk Feb 12, 2023 @ 11:56pm 
Haven;t gotten to the tier yet, but is there a coil pistol too?

Для справки: использование имени UILibrary_LW_Overhaul (как минимум) для шаблона оружия приводит к конфликту с LWOTC.
Просто потому-что становится непонятно чей файл будет загружен в конце концов.
Artek [General]  [author] Aug 30, 2022 @ 3:43am 
No idea... Maybe some unused in the main game? Someone on the modding discord might know, try asking there.

What sounds do coilguns use? I can't find any sound files when extracting the upk files.
Artek [General]  [author] Feb 14, 2021 @ 2:05am 
No idea since i have no idea what LWOTC does. If it has laser and coils in it already - then probably not. This is a purely cosmetic mod for vanilla game and it might easily conflict with any mod that attempts to add the same categories of weapons.
ThUnDeREmp Feb 13, 2021 @ 4:34pm 
Do I need this if I installled LWOTC?
HATERADE Nov 27, 2020 @ 3:07pm 
I'm still trying to learn (desperately) WSR so that I don't have to bug everyone with this stuff, but I figured, since it's in your pack you'd want to check it out for the sake of consistency.
Artek [General]  [author] Nov 27, 2020 @ 3:01pm 
The problem is i never used modded upgradable pistols, so the need for their attachments never crossed my mind.
Checking the text files i cant find any refferences to their achievements, but that doesn't say much - i could easily overlook something.
HATERADE Nov 27, 2020 @ 2:42pm 
I thought the Pavonis Interactive models had everything?
Artek [General]  [author] Nov 27, 2020 @ 1:46am 
I... Actually don't remember. Most likely not.
HATERADE Nov 26, 2020 @ 8:19pm 
Are there no pistol attachments?
Artek [General]  [author] May 11, 2020 @ 1:16am 
That's because they're not meant to be in this mod. This mod creates ghost templates of weapons, that are completely ignored by the main game - you can't research, purchase or find them anywhere. They exist solely to be butchered by Iridar's Weapon Skin Replacer.

In other words: this mod is a weapon skin mod with extra steps.
Nade May 10, 2020 @ 5:16am 
cant seem to research laser weapons
Valvatorez(Cox Cable = awful ISP Mar 30, 2020 @ 12:12am 
I think that's just how it works or the game does. I add the line anyways because it looks better.
Artek [General]  [author] Mar 29, 2020 @ 10:35pm 
Yeah, i remember something similiar as well. Although i don't know if its something that i messed up, or if that's just how WSR works.
Valvatorez(Cox Cable = awful ISP Mar 29, 2020 @ 6:19pm 
Something else I discovered after a playing the legacy missions and a campaign or two. If you replace a TLE weapon. The weapons might look funny if you don't add COPY_DONOR_ATTACHMENTS=True in same line. If you don't you might get a Laser Cannon without a handle or a Sniper Rifle without a scope.
Artek [General]  [author] Jan 8, 2020 @ 1:45am 
Lovely, glad it worked out
Valvatorez(Cox Cable = awful ISP Jan 7, 2020 @ 1:47pm 
I deleted both the Coilgun models and text files. The weapons worked normally allowing me replace the CV tier with some lasers while the Coil Tier to work normally.
Artek [General]  [author] Jan 3, 2020 @ 7:24am 
Depends on what's causing the issue.
If the other coil mod also has a coil content file then yeah, deleting it might work because what i assume is happening the mods attempt to refer to 2 files simultanously.
Valvatorez(Cox Cable = awful ISP Jan 3, 2020 @ 6:48am 
Yes I want the lasers to replace default weapons while keeping the Coilguns between the Mag and Plasma tiers.
Artek [General]  [author] Jan 3, 2020 @ 6:44am 
Not sure what do you mean. Im assuming you want the laser weapons, but dont need coils because you have another mod that adds them as a separate tier?
Im not sure honestly. Deleting content could work, but that's just the models. So... I have no idea honestly.
Valvatorez(Cox Cable = awful ISP Jan 3, 2020 @ 5:20am 
If I delete the Coilgun content in this file. I assume that it will allow me to replace conventional weapons without screwing up the Coilgun tier?
Tardo The Ass-Monkey Dec 9, 2019 @ 8:39pm 
Uh, okay. Never mind then. Probably not your fault, but I download mods so I can avoid having to do my own code tweaking. Thanks anyway.
Artek [General]  [author] Dec 9, 2019 @ 8:38pm 
Not sure i understood the question. But i guess the answer is - it allows you to choose.
This mod creates ghost weapon templates - as in templates that the game knows exist, but it doesnt actually use them anywhere (doesn't add them to the inventory) with sole purpose to be used by Iridar's Weapon Skin Replacer.
WSR can be configured to replace any gun's skin with another one. In the pinned thread you can find an example of WSR code that makes it so that all magnetics appear as lasers, and all beam weapons appear as coil.
Tardo The Ass-Monkey Dec 9, 2019 @ 8:31pm 
So does this allow you to choose what the guns look like, or does it override the default selection?
Artek [General]  [author] Aug 14, 2019 @ 6:06am 
Genuinely good question.
No, i didn't touched the attachments. That would be messing with something i don't understand well.
The CL change in templates names was made for consistancy in naming, but that's about it.
All the attachments are still CG.
PotatoAim2k1 Aug 13, 2019 @ 6:56pm 
Does this mod affect the attachments? For example, the an original attachment for a coil weapon would look something like: LWAssaultRifle_CG.Meshes.LW_CoilRifle_MagB

Is that still the case or does the "CG" need to be changed to "CL"??
Crashdown212 Aug 13, 2019 @ 2:39pm 
Thank. God. I used these guns on WSR a while back but it was an absolute pain in the ass cuz one of the mods f***ed with the research and stuff. I just wanted my damn laser guns!
Pierro Aug 12, 2019 @ 8:13am 
nice :steamhappy:
Valvatorez(Cox Cable = awful ISP Aug 11, 2019 @ 3:49pm 
Since the names are different it shouldn't conflict with the Overhauled Weapon Tiers.
Landgreen Aug 11, 2019 @ 2:14pm 
@artek. If you dont mind that would be awesome
Artek [General]  [author] Aug 11, 2019 @ 1:49pm 
Yes, you can. By using Iridar's Weapon Skin Replacer and writing all the relevant code in the configuration file.
I can provide it somewhere, if you want.
Landgreen Aug 11, 2019 @ 1:47pm 
Sorry if it seems like a dumb question, so with this i can replace plasma weapons in campaign fir coil weapons?
Wet Dog Squad Aug 11, 2019 @ 1:37pm 
THANK YOU! I loved using these as templates (I think the laser projectiles go great with the TLP Mag Guns), but I always hated fiddling around with all the other stuff that comes with the mods.
Lago Aug 11, 2019 @ 10:31am 
This is a brilliant idea.
Artek [General]  [author] Aug 11, 2019 @ 4:26am 
I want to make cosmetic combat knives from Musashis's Stealth Overhaul, once he gives the permission. Aside from that i can't think of any other mod worhy of being butchered by me right now.
Eendee Aug 11, 2019 @ 12:44am 
Thanks, are there plans to create more Arsenal Templates?
