you guys can download both militia overhaul plus plus and standalone lwotc alien pack so that you can actually see the models on some units without the need to change the inis

If this is still getting support, would it be possible to have the Advent Droid Troopers be added to this?

I would've really appreciated it if I could build these and then send them to havens.

I find the research to be way to resource hungry, and Id like to lower the supply cost to help it out. Where can I edit that? which ini? Thanks

@kiruka i have a problem with the Military Assault Mec, it appear invisible and with no loadouts, how i can fix it?

You'll need a mod that adds SHIVs if you want to use the Buildable Units edition of them. I personally use Alpha115's version.

I don't see the research projects to get SHIVs. Did they get removed?

Hey so for my Resistance MECs the model isn't showing. I edited the options by removing everything that had LW in it. Aslo, I don't use LWOTC. Do you have a reccomendation to fix this?

Amazing mod ! Thanks you !

Was there ever a fix for the missing voices? Whenever I rename the XComContent it would just recreate a new one.

Hi Kirukka, I can't reach you via Discord

you should get 2 research projects right at the start of the campaign that grant you imediatly 2 shivs

after finishing proving grounds I do not see the shivs in the list. is there a research tech required ? when I use the console commands I get a shiv with no weapon not selectable and no armor. do I miss something ?

in CI with the right mods robots can go on Covert Actions. And the Chryssalid Hound is a robot

Are chryssalid hunters from this mod? If so, are you aware that in Covert Infiltration they can go on covert missions? Is that intended?

So, I started a new game and got quite far into it. Now, today I got a message from the AML that this particular mod no longer exists, but it clearly does on this page, so that's a bit weird. Disabling it for now.

runs fine for me

Does this mod make anyone's game crash when clicking on "View Soldiers" in the armory or "Select Soldier" in the squad select screen? I researched this tech in the game, and after the first mission after researching it, the game keeps crashing.

I fixed it by renaming the Config XComContent to something else so it wouldn't read it.

Ok I found the main problem to why Sparks are losing there base game voices

And it's because the XComContent.ini despite holding all of the base spark voices for whatever reason Locks it out for all types of sparks weather that be the base game or the LASER Spark classes

So Alpha posted a new EU Shiv version
is this compatible like the other Shiv mod?

@Kiruka Hi. Is there any chance you could try to enable SHIVs to have their portraits generated? I mean this feature causes other portraits not being generated as well for soldiers and other units recruited after you built SHIVs. I've tried to contact Alpha115, but he said he couldn't fix it. Also I use LWOTC FYI.

@Kiruka i find a bug with all Sparks friendlyname armor template not showing correctly

don't allow SMGs for everyone

So I'm using this alongside the weapons and item's overhaul smg's and occasionally the shivs equip them instead of there cannon, how do I fix this?

How come it removes the Base game's Spark Voice's like the Guardian and Julian?

also wait do I need to config some stuff and not straight download it for CI? cause I've never messed with the config files before o.o

I have a few questions-
Can I use the [WOTC LW] Classes perk pack instead of the required one?
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1790938526

Can I use the non LWOTC version of MEC Troopers for it to work?

Does A Better Advent give me the Advent/Medi drones as well?

is this safe to add mid campaign?

Just needs a few config tweaks iirc to swap the LWotC specific stuff out ...

You can use this one with Covert Infiltration

is there a Covert infiltration version of this mod?

And even CI players like myself are using so much stuff of Kiruka! A truly awesome modder

Thank you for everything you've done with this mod. Being able to send out teams of rookies supervised by forces from this mod has made a world of difference in both stretching out my barracks, and keeping my weaker soldiers alive by using the abilities these units have, or just having them give and draw fire.

The most recent updates that added the researchable upgrades has in particular made a world of difference in their capabilities. You're one of the best modders on here, LWOTC wouldn't be the same without your content.

All of those are required.

would someone be so kind as to tell me if i need every mod from the required items list of just LWOTC (because i want to use it with LWOTC) because i have been getting mixed messages about what is and isnt needed

@kiruka thank you for gifting me with Chris da Crispalid :) he has just gone "grawrlrr" and eaten 3x stunny bois and it made me very, very happy.

It is perfectly usable without LWOTC or the Playable Aliens Mod. I use it forever without those

Can someone PLEASE make a Non-LWOTC version of this and the Playable Aliens mod?

@silverleaf1 Kiruka only mods for LWOTC ... so any CI interction is probably not intended

@Kiruka In Covert Infiltration it is possible to send these units on covert operations. Is this intended?

+ANIMSET_REPLACEMENT=(ACCEPTOR_TEMPLATE=BU_AlloyShiv_WPN, DONOR_GAME_ARCHETYPE="XEU_SHIV.Archetypes.WP_SHIV_minigun", REPLACE_SOLDIER_ANIMSETS=True, REPLACE_WEAPON_ANIMSETS=False)

Changing this line to

;+ANIMSET_REPLACEMENT=(ACCEPTOR_TEMPLATE=BU_AlloyShiv_WPN, DONOR_GAME_ARCHETYPE="XEU_SHIV.Archetypes.WP_SHIV_minigun", REPLACE_SOLDIER_ANIMSETS=True, REPLACE_WEAPON_ANIMSETS=False)

fixes the cannon problem. You find them in the wsr ini file of this mod.

So nothing can be done about the anoying bug with the alloy shiv pushing out its barrel to the back after shooting ?

@Kiruka I really like the Proving Ground idea. It seems like a good way to make these units viable choices for longer periods in campaigns.

Is it possible to exclude the shivs from not having a tech tree so they get
new perks?

oh thx i mustve missed that

@TrooperCoon
if you are NOT playing with LWotC, check this mods configs for solutions on how to change the model used for the MEC, to a non-LWotC model

@TrooperCoon
Are you playing with LWotC?

weird my resistance mec is invisible

I do have a cooldown on it Sgtknispel23

hmm where do i go to change scanning protocal charges? i want to have more then 1 on the shiv
