Well, in general the weapon modders have brought their A-game so there's a metric fuckton of shit like the XM8, PKM, RPKn, SCAR-H, Mercenary Plasma etc etc etc. The latter is by far the best one imo because it actually manages to tackle the much harder T3 aesthetic in a good looking way rather than make tacticool weapon port #52952. For a rundown of everything that's happened you could always check the modlist.

If you're talking in less broad terms, E3245 released a M1911 that looks amazing tonight and another mod which adds PCPs was also released a few hours ago.

Plot-cover parcel. In XCOM's procedural map generation, parcels are the prebuilt jigsaw pieces that make up the map, like a gas station or an apartment complex. PCPs are what fills up the blank space in between those parcels, so wilderness, roads, or desert. They're notable because there really aren't that many of them - nine or so per biome/map type - so modders making new ones is great. You really notice that it's a bit less samey.

I don't think you understand ADVENT labor laws very well. Also its very unlikely you actually have a job.

So my A-Team configuration is a sharpshooter, a ranger, 2 specialists (hacker and medic), and 2 grenadiers (demoman and gunner). If I wanted to add a psi op, should I switch out a specialist or a grenadier?

>>153363083
Meme answer: fuck the sharpshooter, pistols are useless

Real answer: Personally, I'd lose a specialist. I always find them highly mediocre.

>>153363083
Switch out the medic. Assuming your games balance even remotely resembles vanilla bringing a medic is planning to fail, the X2 meta demands you never let anyone shoot you to begin with.

>>153363083
Two specialists are overkill. Drop the medic.

So, I just bought a load of powered armor and now i don't need ceramic plates on everyone in my LW campaign. What sort of stuff do gunners and infantry need to carry, apart from the obvious scopes?

>>153367158
I give gunners extra ammo but I use them for suppression, infantry get the +crit targeting module because they have lock and load and scope already.

>>153367158
>load of powered armor
Which kind? Just confused because you said you were still using ceramic plates.

I honestly am not sure. You used to be able to stack more aim item together, but now the scope can only stack with the laser sight.
You could try the +1 damage items for your weapon tier.
More ammo is good for gunners. More Health is also still good for gunners since eventually alien will hit through your suppression.

God damn it, all these mods are eating up my performance

Corsair. I skip the middling stuff until Muton elites show up since not much else can 1-hit you. This time I rushed powered armor and just went tactical+plate => corsair. I don't tend to spam suppression much either, so I don't tend to run mags dry that easily. I'm actually thinking about respirators, they're pretty cheap and they give 1 HP and effectively 1 mobility even if you don't need their actual abilities.

Depends on who's invading who.

Making a voice pack is a bit more tedious than I thought it would be.

Only downloaded 2 gb of the 42.7 gb package.

The thought of needing a set of cue files for each condition for each voice is pretty scary

>>153373965
nah it's not that hard, you get used to the workflow and you can get all of it sorted in about an hour. All I did was import my soundfiles, create 1 cue for each voice file and then highlight all of the sound files I wanted and right-clicked inside the cue editor - you can pick random and it'll link ALL of the selected sounds together to a single random cue thingy. That saved me such a fucking massive amount of time.

>>153376579
by voice files I actually meant the sound banks things like moving, firing, overwatch .etc

>>153376579
Ah okay.

I mean I'm doing 3 sets of voices since there's 3 Arabic voices from MW.

So say Arab 1 -> Arab 1's voice cues -> Random for each group of actual sounds

But I would need to create a set of voice cues for each voice I'm putting in?

Not really sure exactly what you mean by this, but I don't think its happened to me before
>always move pods exactly 1 tile behind LOS
That's pretty common. I do think sometimes the AI cheats a bit. Too many times do aliens move 1 tile into my vision which avoids overwatch even though they had no vision of me.

They just collapse into reality once they spot you

I think on some mission types they are actually on a "hunt mode" (fuck landed mediums) and zero in on you.
If you really break LOS then they should wander into your overwatch, but otherwise they know where your LOS is, you probably count tiles too

The only think that pisses me off is when a flying pod decides to cover three quarters of a map in one move and there will always be that one cyberdisk who doesn't move and now you can't get to him and he is on the other side of the map killing civilians and when he's done he'll pop out of the roof and crit your scout and now you have another scout in a sickbay and all because some fucking drone has rockets in his ass, but I suspect it's because they got "stuck" somewhere and the game just corrects it to where they should be. Oh, and they'll always flank my concealed guy so he activates the pods he sees and everything goes a bit wrong.

I think that's what is happening, just did a terror mission and tried to ambush an exalt pod, before i could even overwatch them all the crysalids pods moved to my position, and i had many landed mediums where multiple cyberdisks pods started rushing to my troops after engaging the first pod (and no, it wasn't the outsider pod)

The second power conduit is disabled by the scouting party, and Sgt. Zanetti spots one of the rogue chryssalids lurking further aft. Another one is in hiding now as well, and Capt. Fenton is determined to flush them both out before advancing. Zanetti can't help but feel his sixth sense tingle, as if something terrible is looming up ahead. The rest of the squad continues to hold the LZ.

>How do I make Alien rulers less bullshit so I don't have to cheese them with hunter weapons every time, thereby making my squad OP death machines to literally everything else?
Little more difficult. Someone was talking about making a mod that adjusted ruler reactions. Ruler reactions now only trigger on offensive actions (anything that deals damage). Unfortunately I don't think this mod was ever seriously worked on past the idea phase.

The next wave is three floaters and a chryssalid. One floater is heavily wounded by reaction fire from all-star infantryman Larry Gray, and dives into the valley below to hide. Two more threaten the squad while the remaining chryssalid lies just out of sight on the ramp leading to the tower below. The bug could reach in and possibly kill one of our two frontliners before assault specialist Fenton has a chance to pop it, so the squad may need to move out of its camp.

>>153386135
The chryssalid actually whiffed hard, veering hard to the right and eating two overwatch shots instead of charging in and killing one of my soldiers.

Now the problem is the three mutons mapping out their assault, and the cyberdisc pod that just wandered up to our camp. Scout Zanetti tosses out one of his battle scanners to get full visual of the situation, and it looks bad. The aliens have enough weight of numbers in position to blitz through our line and get the cyberdisc into the end zone.

>>153386152
I might start doing that kind of thing for future missions I post. I do feel like rapid sequences don't need separate image posts

The squad whiffed everything. They turned into imperial stormtroopers the second robot contacts joined the fight, and missed almost every shot they took. This is the first cyberdisc XCOM has faced, and the suicide squad gets a good look at the thing as it opens up and hurls a plasma grenade into the squad. Sgt. William Daniels and Sgt. Gray are injured in the blast, their tough alien cover saves them from being vaporized. Team medic Safiya Farah dodges a plasma bolt fired from the seeker, in spite of the grenade blowing her and Zanetti out of their lighter cover.

On the bright side, the mutons seem to be falling back and regrouping near the three towers further aft.

Capt. Fenton orders the squad to concentrate fire on the new alien contact, showing proper respect to its destructive capabilities. However, the squad is learning that the disc is resistant to their heaviest weapons, and the other robots are closing in on the exposed flank. Sgt. Marcus Thomas, having lain in wait for just this moment, fires off one of his perfectly aimed shredder rockets.

>>153388442
The situation improves. We have a chance to destroy this disc before its drones can repair it, but our odds would be better if we could move out. The muton and the robot flanking party prevent us from doing so safely, and destroying the disc would likely mean leaving our frontliners vulnerable to a possible kill shot by the seeker. We could leave the disc suppressed and hope the drones go to repair it, but the seeker remains a big problem. Because of the cover destruction caused by the grenade, Capt. Fenton and Sgt. Stone have no cover left to take a shot at the seeker from.

Aight /xcg/ what's the word on SPARKs? Are they EW MEC-tier of good, Psi-Ops level of broken or just eh?

Sgt. Stone chooses to fire, and kills XCOM's first cyberdisc. The drones decide to cluster near each other and take some feeble shots at infantryman Gray, while the seeker doesn't flank us but does land a cheeky shot on Sgt. Thomas at great range. Could have been worse, I guess. The mutons confirm their retreat, the last visible muton falls back behind the three towers ahead.

The squad actually ends up staying behind and digging in where they can, while the scouting duo moves out once more. Team leader Fenton's reasoning is I'm a big pussy and don't want to lose Red team members, these guys are too awesome that the mutons may not be regrouped, and the two of them alone may be able to take them down with minimal risk. Moving from cover to cover, the two spot a muton for sniper Collin Moore.

The fun never ends for these two. Zanetti moves up to look for the muton below - the door going into the aft end from this side is sealed, so he must be hiding below, right?

Turns out he isn't there, and we reveal another muton and three floaters to boot.

Captain Fenton orders yet another retreat to the LZ. Sniper Moore is still in position to take down flyers and cover the two.

What tile triggers the gangplank disc? The one I fought can't have been that one since it came in a pod.

>>153392413
Dangerous, but I think they're the two best suited for it. They're fast enough that they can sprint out of danger pretty safely as soon as they take contact, and pack enough of a punch to take down one or two stragglers themselves.

The next battle goes by the numbers, everyone knows what happens at the LZ by now. No pictures needed.

The leader of the discovered team charges headlong up the ramp, maybe he should've taken a look at the muton corpses littering the walkway as he ran forward.

His floater squadmates fly high above and XCOM spends a few turns blasting the sky and eventually destroys the floaters.

There are still two mutons suspected to be running around the ship, one injured. Team leader Fenton waits for everyone to lock and load before the three man team of assault, scout and sniper move out again.

Zanetti, Fenton, and Farah are preparing to charge up the port side fusion reactor ramp to take the fight to the lone thin man. One wrong shot up there could lead to catastrophe. It's a slow way to take down one alien, but the muton and thin man on the other side are pinned by our rear team and they know it. We have time to prep the perfect breach.

Fenton finishes off the last muton, and Central reports no contacts. The squad breathes easy and prepares to move on the last four power conduits. The squad will take them all together, the Captain has noticed an annoying tendency for aliens to drop into terrible positions whenever these things are touched.

/xcg/, LW storyanon has inspired me to reinstall LW and give it a go again. I haven't played since b14 though, and I never modded it beyond adding LW, so I come to you for guidance.

What mods do I need to make LW a decent experience (.ini and otherwise)? What was changed from b14 to now? How shit is the airgame (still entirely or did they improve it at all)?

Assume until proven otherwise that I'm an illiterate retard and explain shit for me, I want to do it right.

Suicide Squad has pulled off the impossible again. The Chinese government has promised its assistance in securing the largest UFO raided yet, and in weeks to come XCOM HQ will be flooded with materials sent back piecemeal, and cutting-edge alien technology like the fusion reactors the squad discovered.

We killed 38 aliens and lost zero members of Red team, though almost everyone suffered a fatigue wound or combat injury. It's the first of July, and Blue team will probably have to pick up the next terror mission. But things are looking up for humanity as we enter the fourth month of the war.

What mod dependencies would I need

Can someone put this on Steam

>>153404408
Il see what I can do about that

>>153402424
I changed wound times and interceptor repair times down to 80% of original. I edited nationality probability so that maybe 80-90% of my soldiers would be from the US, just as an RP thing. And I used long war toolboks to enable 45 degree camera rotation and arc thower in pistol slot. I'm pretty bad at all this stuff too so hopefully someone can help you out if you can't find the right stuff.

>>153404408
I can add the dependencies to the google doc i am not sure how to post on the workshop unfortunately

Finally finished the Merc Plasma mod, SMG is out complete with all the usual, also has a new SMG fire animation where soldiers grab that vertical foregrip thing when they fire.

Unfortunately they hold the gun by stabbing it with their fingers and clipping half their hand through the weapon when they are in the avenger. I don't think it's possible to make them use specific idle animations for a specific weapon. Well to be more accurate, i'm sure it's possible i just don't know how and it's probably fairly complicated.

It's also now compatible with grimy's loot mod, and i fixed a bug where the weapons would only shred as much armor as magnetic weapons instead of plasma(oops), unfortunately now we're back to the ugly T3 Plasma alien looking aiming reticle.

>>153423734
which game.

>>153426796
Nice work man. Don't beat yourself up about the animations to much. They never even completely fixed the female ones for weapons in XCOM1.

>>153426796
Nice job man.

Don't know if you're sick of modding by now but what's the next plan

>>153427808

The only thing i'm sick of is filthy advent traitors infesting our world.

Next plan is a cosmetic helmet, when i finished the spark gun and i was playing the game i came to realize how desperately i need a helmet with a very specific design that isn't available across the twelve million seven hundred fifty four thousand cosmetic mods available in the workshop.

Then i'll make a T 3.5ish mod with the Merc Plasma Weapons, then either Ayys or some Spark cosmetics.

>>153445594
Yeah, the guy you're replying to is using the /xcg/ character pool and he's in there.

For context, I did a modded to shit run a few months back where I cranked up everything to eleven with pod sizes of 8-12 and XCOM squad size of 8-10, as well as a drove of other balance tweaks like grenade damage falloff, fatigue, cohesion, a smaller class rebalance, changing a few enemies etc etc. I ended up storyposting a part of it. Everyone in the campaign ended up dying horribly because I stacked things against the player a little bit too much, and the guy in the picture gained notoriety by taking a little bit longer than most to die. I also headcannon'd him into a position as Field Commander, which makes it kind of fitting that the shit really started to hit the fan the moment he bit the dust.

How many characters are in the /xcg/ pool now by the way?

>>153446897
17 in total

>>153446897
Hey story anon did you ever upload your tweaks?

Are there any good new mission type mods that really bring home the terrorist aspect of XCOM2? Missions that let you be the "bad guys" in retaliation style missions, for example?

>>153447190
No, but now that I'm back home I've started tinkering with them a bit. I still want to keep the overwhelming numbers of the aliens while making it beatable before I consider publishing it. I could always dropbox them to you as is, but they are not balanced at all right now.

>>153445150
Now that you mention it shitting in general makes comfy robot legs pretty unfeasible, no? There's always going to be the inconvenience of having to shit in a plastic bag. Poor guy.

>>153447141
