this worked back in 2023 but now it crashes on launch.

fail at launch :(

@Shavy how about you try deleting it from the files

@shavy Last update was in 2016 and a few people commented about WOTC in 2017 but never got any response... What made you think to try this mod in 2019?

this mod makes wotc crash on start even if not enabled plz fix.

Working withLW2. Thanks:)

is there a way to make it like the shields from halo where it recharges 1HP per turn and does not expire?

otherwise il probably just stick to adding shields with the armor stat customiser mod

this needs to reduced to have 1 ability point cost so it doesn't end your turn when activated, so you can shield then shoot. which is not possible right now - sorry

Does using the Group Shield Generator (heavy weapon mod) play the same animation as the Shieldbearer's energy shield generator? Because if it does play the same animation that they use, I will have to instadownload this mod.

does this work with LW2 ?

causing crash in WOTC

will this be updated for WOTC?

Is this LW 2 Compatible?

This mod sound great, but does it have the same animation as the shieldbearers?

LW2 compatible ? if yes please add "LW2" in tags

Are the animations fixed?

Is this Long War compatible?

Group Shield Generator was perfect! Not OP; perfect radius, amount, and duration.

Is it possible for them to last forever once activated and have multiple charges?

If I change the charges on these items to 0, will it make it unusable, or will it just be infinite?

Have you looked into a shield generator armor?

Starts with the shield active, regenerates a part of it each turn. Less health bonus, but you get the shield as damage buffer.

I keep digging around for something that would be perfect for Halo/Mass Effect and other Sci-fi armors and I'm surprised I haven't found something like it.

So far this is the closest thing but it's not quite that "sci-fi FPS shooter" feeling, if that makes sense.

Any chance we're going to see the animations any time soon?

Outstanding Mod! Thanks!!

Is it possible to create a proving grounds project to increase the HP provided by the shields? The equipment quickly looses efficacy in the face of late game units. Additionally, the ADVENT shieldbearers give more health late game than when you first engage them, so it is you evolving parrallel to the ADVENT.

Small patch should ensure compatibility.

I'm testing the mod right now to confirm that it works properly with the new patch.

Any Chance you can make the shield grenade not cause your soldiers to be revealed?

Is this mod working with the new patch?

I like the mod alot.There really isn't enough good defense oriented uitility items in the game and this was really needed. It made me think of an idea for an armor mod in a utility slot. What if you had a mindshield that gave your character instant half cover wherever he is, even in the open.It only lasts one turn and you only get one charge per mission. You could deploy it for the turn( it doesnt taker an action point). flank an enemy, and take a cheap shot without the certainty of getting owned by his friends, its risky but not suicidal. Or deploy it and have the soldier run out in the open and act like a human mimic beacon for a turn. Do you think you could make something like that? I don't know how to mod.

Amazing idea. Yesterday I finished one of my failed IronMan and was wondering why this is not in vanilla game.

aw. i was hopin for some CoD style XCOM. just hide long enough to regen health.


though...
maybe i could get someone to make weaker versions of most armors but healed you over time...
maybe just take out a hitpoint and a gear slot.

Should it technically be limited to PSI Ops (with buffing due to the restriction), since like it uses Psionic energy-

I appreciate the kind words and the balance feedback!

I am very grateful for your mod. Thank your for your work in producing it and your generosity in sharing it.

Awesome mod. I think it's odd the grenades unlock first but the "group shiled" does less for near the same range and takes a good bit longer to unlock....

Would like to see personal shileds go in armour suit slots maybe bump it up to 5 like late shileds bearers do... maybe higher since it's personal... bump the cost or time to produce?

Anyway. enjoying having this mod. adds a nice mid to late support option better then smoke and flash.. I find.

@Someone the shield ability in the W.A.R suit always disappears whenever I load a game

For a fun challenge, try linking the ability's shield amount and duration to the ini configuration settings, much how grenades and weapons have their stats linked. I think it'll be a nice learning experience! :D

you know what you should do, make the W.A.R suit give a shield for everyone instead of that useless ability.

Great mod! How are the animations doing?

The grenade seems a bit too powerful doesn't it?

Really nice mod, however I suggest you do change how this works. I agree with akahige about the duration, although I personally think you should do something like 5-7 shield per dude for maybe two or three turns, but that's just me.

Im not bothered by the amount of shield, but the duration. 6 turns is often half the mission. I just want more decision making into when to use it. :P

To each their own - that's what I'd say. It's everyone's choice how hard/easy they want their game to be. XD.

Its only 2 damage, dude. By the time you fight shieldbearers you are going to get hit with stronger attacks than two damage, and thus will take damage anyway. The stronger shield is limited to one person and would need armor as well to guarentee no injury damage. I'm not sure how you could call this OP.

@Akahige: Definitely, you can change all of the mod settings in the config: XComEnergyShield.ini. It won't update the text files, but changes will properly change the shield amount and duration. This should be the path that takes you to your mods if you were looking for the configs: Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500

This seems great, but seems quite overpowered since getting hit in the shield does not cause injuries. Would it be possible to have it scale with difficulty or have a weaker version, with much less duration like 2 turns and/or have 1 charge?

Glad to hear you're liking it!

@Davis (Somebody), AH! Thank you! My apologies, it was my mistake but thanks for the quick replies. It's a great mod and I'd love to see what else you come up with

@Jarl44, I just checked my build of the mod and I think what you're encoutering isn't a bug. Since my last update, the group shield generator has been changed to be a heavy weapon (i.e. equipable on the WAR suit with things like rocket launchers). I changed its equip slot as a balance change. If you think the equip slot change deserves some buffs to its shield generating capabilities you can always change the values in the config XComEnergyShield.ini.

I want to make sure all the bugs in it are gone.
