ParalyzedTortoise Apr 28, 2020 @ 6:46am

Yo, any news on a WOTC compatibility patch for this, or your planned SPARK expansion mod? Thanks.

Madmatt88 Apr 25, 2020 @ 8:15am

hmmm

how do I make this cosmetic?

Commissar Caine Sep 2, 2018 @ 1:19pm

We getting a WOTC version of this?

Minibotas Aug 4, 2018 @ 6:53am

Can't wait until you make it WoTC compatible
Well, I actually can
So no pressure

FOR THE EMPRAH

The Winged Hussar Jul 30, 2018 @ 6:40am

Spark want to Purge heretics too

aegis Feb 15, 2018 @ 3:14am

theses weapons are so OP
I love it

@hardcore soviet baggotry
A bit, I think I might do some tau stuff for sparks in the future but Id like to finish a bit more emperium stuff first. Got a pretty sizable mod for sparks in the pipeline though so hopefully that can at least tide ya over till tau stuff

locust_in_the_rain Jan 14, 2018 @ 10:44am

Have you looked into doing anything tau related? Battlesuit SPARKS or fire warrior armor?

Mr RogerRogers [author] Dec 24, 2017 @ 3:26pm

@Salad Stonesman
Probably wont do a WotC of this specifically, but I am working on a much more in depth mod for sparks, including at least several 40k weapons and 40k themed armor. Possibly specific classes for them as well if its not too involved

Saladofstones Dec 24, 2017 @ 3:03am

WOTC update when? This is a good mod

darkzero Aug 31, 2017 @ 6:46pm

Bah, looks like it needs a wotc update. :(

DERPKING1991 Jul 5, 2017 @ 10:22pm

They need a lazer and coil weapon js

The Prophet Jul 4, 2017 @ 9:12am

How about adding a power armor of sm for sparks?

ganjou241 Jul 1, 2017 @ 11:10am

The Emperor is pleased.

ShadowRul Jun 24, 2017 @ 7:40pm

ITS BLOODY MASSIVE XD

Minibotas Jun 23, 2017 @ 7:26am

"... and if that doesn't work, use MORE gun"

ColtPiecemaker Jun 16, 2017 @ 2:53pm

Ah, sounds good. It would be nice to get some gear to go with the guns, but it's your decision. Can't wait!

Mr RogerRogers [author] Jun 16, 2017 @ 1:51pm

@ColtPiecemaker
well, currently the plan is doing lasguns for soldiers and an imperial knight based skin for sparks

ColtPiecemaker Jun 16, 2017 @ 12:57pm

Could this be the begining of a much anticipated 40k weapons/costume selection? Just imagine, rookie Guardsmen with Las Rifles running around doing minor damage to sectoids with propper Spess Mahreens purgeing xenos filth. I wonder if it would be possible to skin Sparks as Dreadnoughts... Excelent work regardless!

Indestructibirb Jun 15, 2017 @ 1:12am

Love this idea, I don't think sparks are necessarily weak though. Would you consider making a version that nerfs the weapon a bit, such as more aim/damage but less ammo capacity?

Mr RogerRogers [author] Jun 14, 2017 @ 9:35pm

@wookiecop
update out, should be showing up for you barring an issue with another mod

wookiecop Jun 14, 2017 @ 8:00pm

yey

Mr RogerRogers [author] Jun 14, 2017 @ 7:57pm

@wookiecop
currently working on an update to solve the "launch" issues. will no longer require mechanized warfare tech or lw2.

wookiecop Jun 14, 2017 @ 6:02pm

@Jo11y R0g3r
So yes, I did some reaserch (onlline) and if you have the shen tower mission in your game, then you dont get mechanized warfare, insted you just get "Build Spark". Could you please make it so that you can get the bolter?

Mr RogerRogers [author] Jun 14, 2017 @ 5:27pm

@wookiecop
Well at the moment they wont show up unless you have lw2 installed. I will be updating it here shortly to allow vanilla interaction. Quick question though to simplify things, the mechanized warfare project still appears after doing the mission for shens last gift? It has been several playthroughs since Ive actually done the mission

wookiecop Jun 14, 2017 @ 4:57pm

I just finnished Mechanized Warfare, and still no sign of the bolter. Either the machine spirts are silent, or you have failed the Emperor this day.

TheRyderShotgun Jun 14, 2017 @ 4:39pm

it needs LW2?

Mr RogerRogers [author] Jun 13, 2017 @ 11:40pm

@wookiecop
they require the "mechanized warfare" tech, which I thought was unlocked automatically after completing that mission. I made it a requirement so they wouldnt always be available if someone chose not to invest in sparks

PotatoAim2k1 Jun 13, 2017 @ 11:13pm

Not bad. I agree with others that it's a tad too big. like the quality, though. What type of projectile does it fire?

wookiecop Jun 13, 2017 @ 9:44pm

So I just now aquired my spark through the Tower Mission, and I am not seeing the Bolter anywere. Were could I find the bolter bruva?

VanquilKnight Jun 13, 2017 @ 9:21pm

Finally! I always wanted the holy Bolter!
A couple of suggestions though, could you make it smaller to fit for regular troops? And can you make a vanilla version? I Personally dont play LW2 so it would be appreciated if you do so. Thanks!

neuromancer Jun 13, 2017 @ 6:28pm

Ha! Nice! A space marine bolter for my SPARKs! I like it!
I'll probably look at the stats of it and if it seems to OP I'll tweak it to taste. I do that for many mods. :)

Red Jun 13, 2017 @ 5:33pm

War Suit warden armor basically makes yer soldiers look like space marines. I just wish I get change the glow to red instead of yellow.... Anyway, I'm downloading this, Then I need a bolter for my salamanders.

thechroniclerofchaos Jun 13, 2017 @ 2:16pm

And reading over my comment again it should have said "shouldn't be taken the wrong way". anyways I'm still going to play with this cause this is an awesome weapon mod and I'm a 40k nut to boot

Mr RogerRogers [author] Jun 13, 2017 @ 2:05pm

@THE ENTIRE KEKISTANI REPUBLIC @thechroniclerofchaos
Ill fidget with it a bit and see if I can compress it a bit. The main issue was getting it to fit on the bones correctly for the sparkrifle weapon type and still look half way decent during animations and such

Itwas acthually30million Jun 13, 2017 @ 12:22pm

i agree with chonical chaos, just a bit smaller,

AND THEN IMA NEED A HUMAN VERSION PLEASE.

DEAR GOD PLEASE.

thechroniclerofchaos Jun 13, 2017 @ 10:13am

personal opinion that should be taken wrong or anything but it's a tad big. As dumb as it sounds I feel it should be a bit smaller, about 5 or 10%. Other than that the model looks great

Musashi Jun 13, 2017 @ 9:51am

Vanilla don't know about LW_Overhaul.ini so it just ignores it. Sweet, thank you :)

Mr RogerRogers [author] Jun 13, 2017 @ 9:31am

@Musashi
Alright, I was unsure how vanilla would handle lw_overhaul ini. I should have vanilla support put in tomorrow then

Musashi Jun 13, 2017 @ 9:18am

This way you have one mod working in both environments

Musashi Jun 13, 2017 @ 9:17am

LW2 converts techtables to schematics. You can setup the more for vanilla and just add the the required values in LW_Overhaul.ini to make it LW compatible. That's how I have done it for all my weapon mods.

Mr RogerRogers [author] Jun 13, 2017 @ 9:08am

@Musashi
LW2 changes how schematics are added to the game, so using "schematics" wont work for LW2, and using "techtables"(how lw2 adds items to the game) wont work for vanilla. This version uses tech tables, but if there is enough demand I can make one for vanilla xcom as well

Mr RogerRogers [author] Jun 13, 2017 @ 9:05am

@[G-T-F] Gnombert ♥ Squad @Uninvited_Haggis
The next big mod I plan on making is customization options for Sparks, possibly including one strongly based on Imperial Knights, as the shape is pretty close to a spark skeleton. Maybe some terminator armor if I can get it to work with the spark skeleton

[G-T-F] Gnombert Jun 13, 2017 @ 8:16am

great idea now we just need warhammer mech skins for sparks :P or astartes skins for sparks

Zigg Price Jun 13, 2017 @ 7:41am

Can we get a video on how this works? I would love to see if it actually acts like a bolter. Because, let's all remember, in 40K, bolters don't fire bullets, they literally fire rockets and grenades :D

wookiecop Jun 13, 2017 @ 6:21am

Could you give us the stats for the weapons?

hawk12192 Jun 13, 2017 @ 6:14am

This looks cool. Are Sparks still considered to be underpowered in LW2? I remember hearing that Sparks are useful early on, but quickly become less useful than soldiers as the war wages on. If having a big gun helps to keep them relevant, then I'm all for it.

Uninvited_Haggis Jun 13, 2017 @ 6:11am

Fantastic! Now we just need Astartes armor for the Sparks!

Musashi Jun 13, 2017 @ 3:51am

Hey thank you for this. There is always more room for big fxxxxx guns in my armory! I am curious why LW2 is needed?
Also welcome to the community. Someone who's is capable of making custom models and bring them in the game is a valuable addition.
