Well right now the plan is to just make a cosmetic variant to the plasma weapons. Although i suppose that making a separate mod with different stats and stuff would be relatively simple.

All the XCOM and Xenonauts concept art (and one magazine article someone kindly scanned one day), plenty of /xcg/ memes, too many /xcg/ screencaps, some porn, some art that seemed applicable. So yeah, I'd say it's all related. I've been here over a year.

XCOM 2 was announced June 1ish, 2015, so I think I might have to do a more advanced diff to see what I have that you don't.

Honestly, the concept art might be the largest category that I have and I didn't see in your gallery.

>>145136012
Yes. I've looked through there and posted stuff a few times. I'd welcome someone else bearing the brain damage for a while.

>>145135528
Both incendiary and poisons add +1 damage to every shot in addition to the status effects. Burning means the unit can't melee or use special abilites, good vs. psi and melee (duh)
Poison is a 33% penalty to mobility and aim.
Talon rounds add crit chance and damage, very powerful on rangers with 100% crit.
Bluescreen rounds are excellent against nearly every late-game enemy (sectopods, adromodon suit, Gatekeepers, Codexi, MECH V3) as they deal a large amount of bonus damage and lower mechanical unit hack resistance.
Tracer rounds are aim which is always good.

I'd say talon rounds for rangers, AP rounds for snipers, bluescreen rounds for late game gunslingers, Tracer rounds for guardian specialists or AP if your confident they will hit their shots. Tracer rounds for gunners so they can hit their chainshots, or just shots in general for armor shred. That's just my opinion.

Shooting six times in a single turn. Vs. a unit where bluescreen applies assuming 100% accuracy (actually pretty reasonable late game).

All minimum damage rolls=48 before armor
All maximum damage rolls=66 before armor
Bluescreen ignore armor, so even if all the base damage was ignored by armor, you'd still get at least 30 damage. Combine this with any armor shredding.

This does not include crits.

I just tried it and it didn't work. I deleted the installer and reinstalled from my of it, didn't work.

Deleted the installer, redownloaded from github, mod loader refreshed (i.e. all categories gone, etc) but the number of mods is not right. So I'm guessing either Steam is fucking up somehow, or your source folders are missing somehow.

This explanation may not be technically accurate, because as far as I am concerned computers are a box of black magic that you can sometimes peer into.

>>145146084

Well I am not using Steam Workshop. (Because broke and running on a potato computer supposedly below minimum specs, and waiting for game to be complete - pretty much what I did before I bought CiV and XCOM EW - pirate then buy when able...aka reasons.)

So truthfully I may not be really qualified to answer, but it sounds like the steam mods are auto updating? I know that there are people who dislike the workshop for that reason alone.

>>145145747

I am playing with fatigue, notoriety, increased enemies, all pods active, and call reinforcements tho also some additional enemy types like the advent snipers and priests mods. Also other lil difficulty increases as well. I am waiting for ABA to unfuck itself on a few issues the author is fixing.

Run the game or the Launcher from a shortcut or from an executable as an administrator.
Restart Steam.

>>145169650

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=623181918

Same method, but with more editing and weighting.

>>145169893
Just realised that guide doesnt say anything about exporting vanilla armour models to get the bones into blender and that it starts assuming you've already rigged it all.

All I can say is I learned by doing, exporting ingame models from the editor and looking at how they worked and using them as guides.

What do you need to do a skin? How much time does one torso or helmet or w/e take?

A helmet would probably take about 30 minutes, resizing it to fit the head, if it only covers the the head you can weight it to the Head bone fully, with helmets that have straps, weighting to the cheeks and jaw is required.

I'd have to crack open the game files to confirm and I don't have it installed that they have longer sight range, but since most of the aliens in the OG X-COM did and they're taking a lot of their inspiration from that, I wouldn't be surprised.

I'm really enjoying Grimys Attrition Mode.

Having limited primary ammo is a neat idea though the reinforcement thing doesn't really work as well as it does in the Guerilla War mod.

It kicks in after a certain amount of turns regardless if you're concealed or not.

Configurable but default it's 8+4 (the 4 you start with).

SMGs are useless

Increased ranger mobility doesn't really matter when shotguns do so much more damage than swords

>>145180031
Swords are a total joke

>>145180231
They really should do a lot more damage, currently the only use for swords is Reaper cleanup of low HP enemies, and even then, just chuck a fucking grenade and it'll do the job

Swords aren't useful

>>145180357
>a lot more damage

Nah, just make them pierce armor and have 100% hit chance.

>>145180532
I know there is a mod that makes them have 100% hit chance, the armor pierce would be a good idea for it though.
A shame I'm too lazy to download the SDK
It should be added to axes as well.

>>145180357
I have never once had reaper be worth a shit, and boy have I tried.

Then I got Serial on a Ranger, and I stopped trying. Because that's what a Ranger should have always had, by fuck.

>>145180532
>swords
>piercing armor
I didn't see any murder strokes in this game.

>>145180684
I know there is some mod, that adds a class, that simply has ranger as passive, that works on both swords and pistols, gotta say, with lightning hands being sword based on it as well, with free move AND attack, regular attack, hit&run, and this, I can just chain 3 sword strikes in 1 turn, and then go REAP
As cheaty as that sounds, I don't care, I played through legend ironmeme with onlu QOL mods, so now I can fuck around as much as I want.

Ok.

It's not optimal or anything but it fits my head cannon that a gunslinger SS would not be toting a long rifle.

If there was a DMR weapon I'd be happy cause I'd put that on the sniper SS instead of a long gun. Actual snipers have no place in engagements this close IMO.

It's fun to get some nice loot but I wouldn't call it anything gamebreaking.

>>145185098

oh and some of the custom weapons don't support some of the custom weapons so while you can get an M16 drop I could have a floating vanilla attachment or rather.

Only using stock weapons at the moment.

I had more than 30 soldiers in the character pool before I even started a campaign for the first time... Across countless EW/LW playthroughs, I had collected a rather large gallery of beloved veterans. The prospect of seeing them all come back to life with more creative freedom was not to be denied.

>>145197817
Curious why you'd stick a satellite up that you can't defend

>>145198871
Oh yeah they come back and get new looks, but I usually just save those soldiers to the character pool so they show up in future campaigns, not that they show up with a specific look. Anyone in my current campaign is going to get an updated look.

What's the best way to make Soldier 76 in this game? I was thinking concealment ranger with rifle.

I wish the armor was less animal like and more human. Like maybe keep the scaly plating, the middle part of the helmet along with the face and hood, but remove the snake head, shoulder pads, and forearm pieces.

How does the menu background work in X2?

>>145221949

>shotgun ninja

Based.

>>145222112

If your latest save file is from a tactical mission, you get a main menu backdrop from that mission with one of the soldiers from that mission in the foreground. If the latest save is from the strategic layer, you get a random backdrop from a mission you've played previously, with one of your highest-ranking soldiers in the foreground.

>>145222112
The menu background changes depending on whether your last save was in a certain mission, or if your next mission will be that environment. For example >>145221949 this anon is either in a retaliation mission or will be in one soon.

That sounds about right, it's been a while, (that pic was taken when the ADVENT armor mod was first made) but I'm pretty sure I was doing a Retaliation mission at the time

I do like how there appears to be an ADVENT patrol dedicated to guarding the City Centre equivalent of a Kwik-e-mart. In the slums, no less.

This picture is hilarious if you assume that the soldier is actually trying to get in between her majesty Zerka IV and the portal.
