@Dood!

Did you ever find a fix for the "?INT?WOTCIRIDARTEMPLATEMASTER.HELP?" issue?

@everyone
Template Master has been updated with functionality to create and edit ability trees and stat progression for soldier classes. This is something you can do with base game config, but it's super annoying due to overcomplicated syntax. Template Master simplifies things. Usage is explain in documentation.

Drat, that didn't work. It still says "?INT?WOTCIRIDARTEMPLATEMASTER.HELP.?" in game instead of armor pierce.

@Dood!
Try StatLabel = "PierceLabel"

Hello, ModJam for LWOTC has several items with "Armor Pierce" that don't show up properly in the UI. It was mentioned that ModJam needs to be updated but the relevant line seems to be:

+Edit_X2AmmoTemplate = (T = "HollowPointRounds", P = "UIStatMarkups", OP = "Append", UIStatMarkup = (StatModifier = -2, StatLabel = "Armor Pierce"))

I'm guessing "Armor Pierce" changed to something else? If so, what would the new name be?

@Iridar
Thanks for the lightning answer!
I wasn't sure, I hoped that the ability templates went under some of the categories listed...
I use your mods and Boundr already and you do a great job, it's just a little thing I wish to change but is not supported by any of your mods sadly, I'll have to learn to use the modding tools myself. Thanks again for your work.

@cyrneco
Hi. No. If it was possible, it would've been mentioned in the description. You can edit some aspects of abilities with the Ability Editor mod.

Hi Iridar, thanks for your mods.
Is it possible to edit ability templates with this mod?

You should install this if some other mod you use requires it.

Hi,
I still don't know what this mod does.
If I don't create mods, does it mean I shouldn't install this?

No problem, thanks for the answer:)

@Adonnay
Sorry for the late response. There's no easy way to copy entire template atm.

i came here to change item or armor cost?

Hi! Absolutely awesome tool, thanks :)
One question though on how to properly use it. Is there an easy way to make a copy of an existing template? I.e. make a copy of the normal pistol so you only have to change a couple of values instead of setting all properties yourself? Couldn't really find it in the documentation. Only how to take single values from a donor template.

alright thanks for the clarification

@SilverSkies
Template Master currently cannot modify or create character templates, it cannot do anything that has to do with units.

the dev of enemy reskinner said this mod may be able to help with converting cosmetic parts into a unit that works with enemy reskinner.

do you have any advice on the topic? it doesn't seem obvious how i would do this from your documentation

Thank you so much for the response Iridar, I'll look into that!

There's weapon global stat changer mod or something like that, maybe you could try using that.

If you need to make that kind of change you're better off making your own mod.

Currently not.

It is possible to use this to make global changes to a weapon category's stats? As in, could it make a blanket change to the range tables of all weapons in the assault rifle category so that they all remain uniform statwise without having to individually change them one at a time for each custom weapon mod?

Hmm, what you are saying does make sense. Let me do some more digging. It must be some other mod relying on your mod as a dependency that's really causing the issue.

By itself, this mod doesn't do anything. It requires other mods to provide configuration that will instruct it to do something. Template Master currently cannot edit abilities at all. So you must have some other mod that uses Template Master to do something to weapons (grenades) you're trying to use the ability with.

Hmm, I tracked down this mod to have a strange issue:
The RPGO perk "needle grenades" for grenadier would not work when this mod is activated.
And the perk would work again when this mode is deactivated.

> Does this support armor templates?

It's listed in the description, so yes.

> Does it support changing weapons to new custom categories?

It makes no difference whether a weapon category is custom or not. Weapon category is just a name property on weapon templates. Yes, this mod can edit it.

That's highly unlikely.

Unfortunately this mod in particular is causing MASSIVE stutter any time an action or move is made :(

а все, понял скобки лишние

@Iridar, правильно со скобками или без?
+Edit_X2WeaponTemplate = (T = "SustainingSphere", P = "Cost",\\
Cost = (ArtifactCosts[0] = (ItemTemplateName = "CorpseAdventPriest", Quantity = 1),\\
ArtifactCosts[1] = (ItemTemplateName = "MindShield", Quantity = 1),\\
ResourceCosts[0] = (ItemTemplateName = "Supplies", Quantity = 55)))

или

+Edit_X2WeaponTemplate = (T = "SustainingSphere", P = "Cost",\\
Cost = (ArtifactCosts[0] = (ItemTemplateName = "CorpseAdventPriest", Quantity = 1),\\
(ArtifactCosts[1] = (ItemTemplateName = "MindShield", Quantity = 1),\\

?

Нет, Cost два раза написано

правильно?

@Iridar, +Edit_X2WeaponTemplate = (T = "SustainingSphere", P = "Cost",\\
Cost = (ArtifactCosts[0] = (ItemTemplateName = "CorpseAdventPriest", Quantity = 1),\\
Cost = (ArtifactCosts[1] = (ItemTemplateName = "MindShield", Quantity = 1),\\
ResourceCosts[0] = (ItemTemplateName = "Supplies", Quantity = 55)))

+Edit_X2WeaponTemplate = (T = "MysticStaff_MG", RDLC=("PrototypeArmoury", "CovertInfiltration"), P = "Cost",\\
Cost = (ResourceCosts[0] = (ItemTemplateName = "Supplies", Quantity = 10),\\
ResourceCosts[1] = (ItemTemplateName = "AlienAlloy", Quantity = 2)))

Можно использовать ArtifactCosts вместо ResourceCosts, разницы нет.

@Iridar, а как добавить в стоимость предмета предмет? Команда ArtifactCosts подойдет?

Thank you. Now to l teach myself

It's possible.

Can you use this to set up a 3 tier config that will automatically switch to 5 tier config when using your 5two. Currently trying to make strike rifles a unique weapon rather than a skin.

@Frizzeldian12
I'll think about it. I could use such a functionality myself, though it's usually simpler to set up through script.

I feel like you're confusing sockets (points in 3ds space for 3d models to attach to each other, such as visual weapon upgrades to weapons, or weapons to units) with upgrade slots.

You can already add upgrade slots to any equippable item through config for Highlander:
https://x2communitycore.github.io/X2WOTCCommunityHighlander/strategy/NonWeaponUpgradeSlots/#nonweaponupgradeslots

awesome work! You are truly the king of modding. Request though, can you add in the coding for us to put sockets on ANY item in game please? Mostly so I can put extra sockets on armor and vest slots. I am going to be releasing a new loot mod similar to grimy but only attachs to vest slots and armor slots

Got it, thanks for the clarification.

WSR is more convenient for reskinning weapons through config, since it can do it in one line. WSR can add sockets, Template Master cannot (yet?).

WSR was developed for a specific purpose: reskinning weapons, other commands were added over time as needed or requested, without much thought put into keeping things consistent.

Template Master was developed as a general-purpose tool for editing templates, primarily for myself and other modmakers, without any care being put into making it user-friendly.

They are different mods with different philosophies.

Adding on to the previous question... Are there any big WSR features that aren't working yet? (if you happen to remember offhand)

For the most part.

So this can essentially replace WSR?

@Mustache Meat
You can also check if this folder exists (where this mod should be downloading into), and if yes, then delete i.
..\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\2363075446

Recently I heard someone else having a similar issue, and the only thing that helped them is nuking the entire workshop folder, though obviously that will reset and changes you made to mods' configs, if any.

@Iridar Many thanks for the speedy reply! Tried all this then read your post. Triple checked things again. Probably just a Steam issue so I'll try at a later date. Thank you for the tips! Excited to try this mod whenever Steam stops being a poopy butt

@Mustache Meat
This problem is not caused by anything specific to this mod, it just happens sometimes with Steam.

Close the launcher, restart PC, start Steam, unsubscribe for the mod, wait a minute, subscribe to the mod, wait a minute. Start the launcher.

If the mod is still not there, go to launcher's Options menu and select "Show hidden mods". If the mod appears then, you can right click on it and select "Unhide".

Having an issue where I subscribe but it doesn't show up in the alternate mod launcher. I also get errors saying this mod isn't installed when getting to the main menu.

@Alex Darkcrowne
Read mod description / documentation. It's probably going to be too complicated, though.
