On an unrelated note, why does Return Fire now trigger AFTER the enemy performs its action? When did this change? Because beforehand, Return Fire would trigger first, which is kind of what made it an useful ability.

>Rookie makes most kills in mission

>>144505908
Return Fire has always activated after the enemy has fired upon you, that's why it's called return fire. Covering Fire is the one that activates before enemy actions.

I was so disappointed when these guys weren't in the Blacklight helmets mod.

>>144508715

Adding new heads to the game is a pain, and you wouldn't be able to add that to the game as a helmet because the head would just clip through it.

Cyclop mod guy will also never get what he wants.

>>144503763
Shame we didn't get that animation, it's pretty cool.

>>144508939
Wouldn't cyclops eye be possible as a simple item in place of glasses, simply made as thin and close to head shape as possible?

>>144509110
You would have to model that individually for every single head model there is.

>>Adding new heads to the game is a pain

Is that why no full model replacement exist yet? That would also explain the Nep heads lack of detail.

>>144508939
What about the Halo Mods that just make the body invisible and basically have independent models?

>>144508715
I did want to add the robot head to the mod, but like >>144508939 said, adding heads isn't straightforward.

The fuck kinda logic is that?

>>144509210
Or just force people to use a certain race/head/skin color combo if they want it to work

>>144509781
Yeah that really is unrealistic...

>>144509452
this is a good point actually. the halo 4 armors come with the undersuits that replace the entire body, or at least make it invisible. would a similar technique not also work for the heads?

>>144509251
>>144509110
>>144509452
>>144509724

From my understanding, the only way to add heads right now is basically to apply a material that makes a head invisible and then add your actual head as a helmet, but from what i'm reading right now this has the limitation of not getting rid of teeth, eyes and eyelashes, which means those would show unless your head is bigger than the default head, which is why the anime heads like

>>144509251

Somewhat work. That said, i've never tried to add heads to the game myself so i don't really know. So, you could add robot heads, but this one in particular:

>>144508715

Would probably look pretty bad with disembodied eyes, eyelashes and teeth floating around it, you'd have to make it bigger to hide them.

>>144502745
boy this halo stuff is getting really monotonous, especially since it seems to be the same couple of people pushing it. i'm pretty sure we've had this image as op before even. could you lay off it for a while?

>>144510053
Yeah, it works. Just look at >>144509251 and the Evangelion heads - problem is you still end up with a floating mouth and eyes iirc

>>144510446
This, I don't mind it that much but it gets old

If that's just the head what kind of hardships would it take to do full body/animations replacements?

>look at a specialist in the armory or squad preparation screen
>gremlin buzzing noise gets stuck permanently
>amplifies every time you look at a specialist again

So this bug has existed for me since launch, am I just the only one who gets it or why haven't they fixed it? Are they just lazy with bug fixing? Ridiculously annoying, I have to mute the game every time I'm on the Avenger.

>>144510839

If we ignore the hardships of making animations themselves, none.

The problem with heads is a bit hard to explain, but basically, there is only 1 head for each gender(actually i don't remember if there's 1 head for each race but whatever), the rest of the heads are created with morphs, which basically means that when you change a head in the game, it isn't loading a different mesh, it's just changing the current one through these "morphs". So basically, you cannot add additional heads to the game because it's simply not how it works, and from my understanding you can't add morph targets either simply because of some limitation of the sdk.

So basically, you're stuck with the default heads in the game, and the work around these anime heads use is to make the game use a head without morph targets and then make it invisible.

With bodies, animations and armor it's all fairly straightforward. There's already a nude mod for example, and that's an entire body replacement, with animations i haven't actually looked into it too much, but i don't think it would be particularly difficult to do, there's even documentation with the SDK about how to import animations into the udk.

That said, there's a grand total of 1 animation mod so far, so i don't think anyone cares or wants to go through the trouble.

>>144510813
Vanilla designs plus all the bazillion mods that are out mean the biggest limitation is your creativity. Make new soldiers with new themes instead of just making Spartan/ODST #159255836 and posting a billion screenshots of it here, we've had way too many of those. Of course you should actually PLAY with what's fun for you though.

When the Marine armor drops on the other hand I'll be hype to see some more screenshots of that, looks way cool. It's just the Spartan/ODST theme that's a bit exhausted.

>>144510839
The only guys who have had any progress with that are the Playable ADVENT guys I guess, but even then they're just taking existing stuff and putting it in a new place. I don't know but there are a LOT of hurdles concercning head animation in particular, everything else meant for a human you can more or less rig onto the XCOM2 skeleton.

You can read up on smarter people than me explaining the head stuff and how to get around it here, but afaik nobody has managed to made a fully animated head prop yet.

>>144510813
The key to a successful mod is 100% extra pouches and utility and shit. The vanilla armour is just too clean. That's why the Titanfall armour looks so good.

I played Arma 2 online with a group. You need some level of coordination in big missions so a group is pretty important there. Small missions are fine with pubs, I suppose. I don't really play much multi anymore. I spend most of my time making missions and scripting the shit out of them.

>Would have loved to see more Rulers, not just three of them.

I think what bugged me about Alien Hunters the most wasn't the Ruler Reactions or questionable aesthetic choices. It was the aliens they chose to be Rulers.

Viper King makes sense.

Berzerker Queen is just a roided up berzerker with meat tenderizers bolted onto her. Why the hell is she a Ruler? She a mindless smash beast.

Archon King is just an angrier Archon. And considering Archons are just Floaters with a makeover, and Archon King doesn't make any sense.

If we accept that Rulers are made by genetically altering aliens back to their "natural" state, the Archon King makes no goddamn sense, and the only thing separating a "natural" berzerker and an Alien berzerker is that the Alien version is actually somewhat sedated by comparison.

Fucking what?

Any helping on how to install mods on pirated version?

if vipers are 99% female, does that mean the speaker is a trany?

>>144552237
well all the thin mints were dudes so maybe vipers just like to roleplay as human males

>>144552237
No, he's male just like the viper king, he's actually the viper prince.

>>144551981
I'm pretty sure that you just make a mods folder like XCOM2/XComGame/Mods and the place then save the specific mod folders there.
Also we have an entire MEGA mod list in OP.

>>144552651
so he betrayed his father and leaved him in the cave so he could have all the vipers for himself?

>>144552967
the plot thickens

>>144552858
did that, nothing changed.

then tried the nexus mod manager and got a lot of red screens but still no changes to the game

>>144554490
Hmmm, guess I'm not really informed on the matter. I installed one non-steam mod and that worked fine, so I guess its more different for pirated versions. Probably someone else will have to help you, the only thing I can think of is maybe trying the alternate mod manager. It might be that the game doesn't know where to check for mods due to your non-standard installation.

Have you fixed the ridiculous shine\colour changing issue with the ODST armour? It switches to a grey\metallic\titanium colour on maps with certain sets of lighting, like night maps.

I don't know anything about guns, science or anything really, but i did consider something like that. Since in my headcanon these weapons aren't Xcom weapons and they're not as sophisticated, they have a heatsink-like-thing on the side away from the soldier's face and i even added an fx that shoots heat/vapor/something away from the gun from it, you can see it a bit from it here:

>>144566356

That cheetos smoke next to the operator's face. That said, i don't know if that's scientifically accurate or possible, i just figured it would look cool.

Alternatively, this is why you should make all your troops faceless goons.

>>144567298

MISSION A SUCCESS! HUMAN MASTER-RACE!

>tfw had this playing the entire time as it all went to shit fast.
Don't blame me. As you can see, all either Squaddies or Recruits. Minus Bossgirl, the Lieutenant, and Section Commander of the Marine 1-Charlie.

Fucking goddamn Codex and their fucking bullshit teleporting and cloning ability. God fucking dammit, literally every shot only dealt 3-4 damage and they cloned themselves. Then they'd teleport behind me after every turn and rape me in the arse. Not to mention they'd ALWAYS disable my fucking weapons.

Oh well. At least Marine-4 has a promotion now.

British army here. Phase 1 training specifically tells you, and forces you, not to tuck your trousers in into your combat boots. It fucks with your feet and you look like a fucking tool when walking around.

>>144577452
Fuck need to go lynch myself now that I fucked up the spoiler box.

>>144577452
>>144577756
Don't blame yourself anon. It was obviously the pain of watching your entire squad get rolled by a Codex that caused you to become momentarily retarded.

Also, fuck, how'd you lose to a Codex? They're not that hard if you spread out across the combat zone and prompt them to teleport near someone else. They don't hit that hard and their big psy power has a 1-turn delay before dealing damage.

You know that flashbangs prevent them from cloning, teleporting, or psi-bombing?

Hello /xcg/! I'm a newfriend from /tg/ who's been playing XCOM 2 for awhile and I found this here general a few days ago. I wanted to say thanks for all the great resources in the first post and for being chill as fuck so far.

I did have a question though: what voicepacks are /xcg/ approved? I've got a bunch of Dawn of War ones (Guardsmen mostly), the GDI/Nod Commandos, Avery Johnson, SHODAN, and some others and always am looking for other good soldier-y ones. Any suggestions?

>pic related is my favorite though

Main issue was that I encountered two at the same time, + a couple sectoids which panicked my flashbang user and mind controlled my medic. Wanted to get rid of at least one of the Codex's, so threw everything I had at the closest. All either missed, or did +1 damage because of the attachment. Third Codex created, and teleported behind the entire squad.

It all went downhill from there. Objective was to either capture or kill a VIP and head to the extraction point. Marine-4 was basically out of special items and had no ammo left, so I sprinted him to the VIP, grabbed him because more supplies if captured, and threw a mimic beacon a couple squares away from him to distract the attention. He escaped, barely, and bossgirl stayed to distract most of the enemies, and the new reinforcement group of a Mech, lancer and one trooper. Marine-1, the sharpshooter, was atop of a roof and was sniping most of the sectoids and managed to kill a couple of the now 4-6 Codex's.

>>144578296
I did, but it was in the hands of a Recruit.

>>144578758
Welcome, friendo! I like all the ones in the modlist, but Moonbase Alpha is a personal favorite alongside the Rex Colt one.

Here they are:

My favorites that you didn't mention are probably Edward Buck, Garrus Vakarian, and Sgt. Foley for males. For females, Miranda Lawson, Clover (Payday 2), and the Saint's Row Female Boss.

Honorable mention to the FEAR Replicant pack.

We're glad to have ya, I'm sure you've already seen ThunderPsykers (yeah, that ThunderPsykers) Imperial Guard mod, but that's a goldie. Even has General Sturnn in it.

>I wanted to say thanks for all the great resources in the first post and for being chill as fuck so far.
I made the XCOM2 modlist, glad it's actually being put to use! I strongly recommend all of the Long War resources in the OP as well if you ever get around to playing it, which you definitely should. Great mod.

>>144579781
RNG made the right choice. Good luck anon!

I mean I didn't want to send out my A-team or even my B-Team for something so fucking routine and easy sounding. I'm usually really good at this game, but I guess it was late and I was tired all to shit.

RIP Marine Team Charlie.

>>144578758
Walker, Texas Ranger released a shit ton of Call of Duty and Mass Effect packs, which are all very soldier-y, have a lot of lines, and are voiced by professional actors. It's a good place to start.

>>144578758
The Splinter Cell ones are good. There's also a Rainbow Six 3 pack called Tactical Voices.
>>144580384
Why does your game look Cel-Shaded, anon?
>>144580420
Walker did CoD but Emmote did the Mass Effect ones.

>>144580664
What areas look Cel-Shaded? If you mean, by the soldiers\squaddies, then yeah it's an error\feature\bug from the Halo: Reach Marine modpack. I don't see Cell-shading anywhere else other than the soldiers.

You know, I wouldn't mind if someone ported over Saints Row weaponry and a fucking drone laptop into XCOM 2

Why doesn't the specialist have an ability to make the gremlin go to any empty square and count as half cover (full cover with a perk)?

>>144581645
Because it'd be much cooler with a riot-shield trooper having that ability, of course.

>>144581645

Because that's what the exo suit is for. :^)

>>144579424
>Moonbase Alpha
Hah! I'll check it out.

>>144579659
I have most of the ME voices already, they're all pretty great. I'll check out the Replicant one.

>>144580323
>ThunderPsykers
Yeah, I have that one, it's amazing.

>Modlist
I had most of it already, but I got some gems there. Thanks for keeping it alive!

>Long War
I've already beaten LW a few times, it's great but I honestly prefer X2 because I'm a filthy casual at heart.

>>144580664
>Splinter Cell
I'll check it out. Thanks guys!

Also, to the Marines armor anon, loving the mod! Just grabbed it, it looks great. Thanks for the work.

Remember folks that the commander does not approve of ayys so do your part and REMOVE them.

I have a few questions.

I read it somewhere that wet work is bugged, is it true?

How do I know how many turns my control on a hacked MEC still have?

>>144511223

I'm surprised people haven't ported over ODST/Halo ayys yet considering we're rapidly approaching Halo Turn based strategy singularity.

And I don't mind that one bit, I'd dig it.

Also where muh shen's gift solomon.

>>144582987
4 turns im pretty sure and yeah as far as I know wet work is still down.

how do you know? They seem nice enough

>>144585008

80 xp for completing a mission. +20 if no one dies, and I think there is a 100xp bonus for being the solider that reveals the command pod of a mission.
