I tried this with LWotC and it didn't seem to do much. Are these mods compatible?

Fantastic mod!

Just finished a campaign with about 280 mods, this one included, and had no major issues! Thanks for putting this up, opens up a lot of cool possibilities. Love how enemies use it as well.

A good step, but it needs to go further. In the original XCOM, smoke grenades were used to break line of sight. Also, you didn't want to be INSIDE one, because it would cause temporary choking damage. That's the way smoke grenades should have been implemented from the start, not some pink cloud that increase defense.

Love this mod so far, been playing with LW2. Funny thing happened though: went on a mission to stop an ADVENT retaliation strike and rescue civilians, so no concealed deployment. I popped smoke on my first turn, but none of my soldiers gained concealment. Is that a mission- specific thing perhaps?

Could you please make it configurable that units walking into the smoke after the initial blast are also affected?

A variation (Smoke Pellet or something similar maybe) that only smokes one tile and allows the user to conceal would be fun for ninja/Batman purposes. Maybe make them one-time use, just for clutch ninja vanish moments. Might be worth exploring if I decide to try a project myself. I mean, it would just be a pay-per-use Conceal ripoff with visual fx, but having a cost and taking up an inventory slot might be a decent way to balance it. Hmm...

Really enjoying this mod by the way!

i wonder is it possible to make it to where smoke grenades don't break concealment.

If the soldier that deploys the smoke is inside the AoE, does it affect them? Or is this what everyone is referring to, and I'm imagining someone trying to gain concealment after tossing smoke from four tiles out.

Combines this with Long War support grenider. 8 smokes of concealment. Totally not OP.

How do I make the invisibility effect work on smoke warheads from this mod?

Now my Shinobi can Ninja Vanish.exe :D

The concealment doesn't work for the guy throwing the grenade since the concealment buff is gained before the action is finished. So much for my Smoke then Grapple Batman plan. Other than that, it works really well.

How can I make it so the person who threw the smoke grenade also gains concealment?

fuck yeah !

Can confirm now this still works in WOTC, no changes neccesary. Have updated the title and description.

Still use and love it <3, really helps to reduce clutter or mod that don't merge well.

Do people still use this mod? I've been using Covert Intrusion instead, which works much better.

Regardless, I intend to update my mods for WOTC after I finish thoroughly polaying it, probably sometime next month.

... ?

... Wotc uptade ?

WIll this be updated for WotC?

How can I make it so the person who threw the smoke grenade also gains concealment?

What Zota??

no job out after a fight, After one move ... I'm still testing)

Also, seems like if you smoke multiple people, it's like they all have ?conceal? So getting revealed is on an individual basis

Yeah works fine.. Lol, such a lovely cheat though,, VIP extraction and you've not got a team?? Take your worst rookie with this, throw the smoke for the VIP and try get him to teh extraction, even if the rookie goes down :)

I use it in LW2 and it works fine

Can any of you guys asking last week confirm if this works??

I don't play LW2 myself, so have no idea whether this mod is compatible with it or not. It depends whether LW2 changes smoke grenades or not.

I have no plans to update this mod further, but if any other modder wants to use some/all of it's code then feel free to do so.

Is it not compatible with LW2? Did they add a new smoke grenade?

Any plans to update this for LW2 compatibility?

please add a way for this to keep the soldier who threw the smoke concealed

@Zer0: it's only OP if you want to make it that way. it's kinda a godsend to me, but i'm also playing with Additional Mission Types, The Alien pack and ABA2. Currently have enemy pods of six each.... really not pleasant when one of them is a Gate/Riftkeeper or Sectopod Prime, or, you know.... five Archons and an Andromedon.

Game's only as hard as you choose to make it ;)

@Green Raven: in fairness, it's not entirely OP, as the user is revealed regardless. that and on some of the higher difficulty mods it's considerably less so. try running ABA 2, the LW alien pack and More Mission Types ;) I have and these things are kid of a godsend.

Cool idea! Can I suggest an alternate mod? An upgrade that allows smoke to heal your troops as well as providing cover. It makes smoke usefull, but is not as op as providing stealth.

Would there be any way to make it so the smoke can also conceal the soldier that threw the grenade (rather than them being instantly revealed due to having thrown a grenade)?

HandyVac,

Can you upload this to nexus mods for other platforms and users, great mod I use it here.

Looks like Grenade Rebalance is just ini edits changing stats, so yeah, should be fine.

Let the rest of us know after you've tried it?

Is this compatible with Grenade Rebalance: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=643166322

Grenade Rebalance page doesn't specify what overwrites it makes.

Is there an option to have the conceal only last for 1 or a few turns?

Any ideas for making this mod compatible with the LW dense smoke perk?

get combine squad, get them all to be the Combine elites and one regular combine assault
add the Officer mod and the Commando mod
use this mod
deathmechine incoming.
never even saw a thing....
-25 dead aliens later-
gg
-not one soldier died-

its funny using this with the same soldier you wanna conceal ... made that mistake the first time xD

Good idea, I never use smoke grenades because they are largely useless in lieu of using another item. This mod makes them a bit more lucrative on certain missions

Mumia, you could but who ever had six rangers sat around waiting to go at any given moment?

I think the flashbang double aim penalty mod is good but not op. Stun is crazy

Flashbang disorients and that is good enough IMO, Codexs become powerless when you disorient them

You could do that by starting the mission with rangers that have concealment anyway,

Doesn't this make retaliations easy though? step 1, throw smoke grenade... step 2 split up and save every civilian with impunity (apart from the occasional faceless, that is)!

Great idea, now we just need a flashbang that not just disorients but stuns enemies for one turn, to worth something.
