[WOTC] ESO SkullJacks Fix

Description
What is this?
This is a simple little mod is to give SkullJacks some Psi Damage so they can pierce the shields granted by Energy Shield Overhaul
This helps to fix the bug of a shielded unit that has been Jacked from visually appearing dead, but still being very much alive.

How?
This mod effects 3 things, the SKULLJACK item, and the SKULLJACK & SKULLMINE abilities.

I create a new WeaponDamageEffect and assign it by OPTC to the above.
Now uses standard config editable 'base damage' and only applies on hit, unlike the vanilla effect which has fixed hardcoded values.
Skips 'shields', sustain and armour, just like the vanilla effect.
Using Template Master settings I give SkullJacks a HUGE hidden Base Damage of the Psi type (as ESO shields ignore this damage type).

Conflicts and Issues
None known yet, in my testing I even SkullMine killed a shielded full health legendary Custodian Grandmaster.

Thanks And Credits
Many thanks to LordAbizi for highlighting the issue
Many thanks to Iridar for TemplateMaster making the 'fix' easier to implement.
HUGE thanks to NotSoLoneWolf for the Energy Shield Overhaul

As always, many thanks to all the poeple of the XCOM2 Modders Discord!!

~ Enjoy !! and please buy me a Cuppa Tea[www.buymeacoffee.com]

so you mean like how it behaves after you do the Skullmining project?

Can I make a humble request?
an WOTC Psijack / Skulljack any humanoid ADVENT at or above ADVENT OFFICER in the tiers, along with making them infinite reusable.

Basically this allows you to get hacking benefits from any Humanoid ADVENT trooper that is at least OFFICER or above. Also, to give Skulljacks no cooldown as an ability when equipped.

Basically: This would make skulljacking MUCH more enjoyable and much less situational.

@RustyDios Thank you very much for your reply and confirmation.

Sorry if I was confused because of the comment below mine, which seemed to hint at an issue. I'll activate these mods with peace of mind then, and see how it goes in my forthcoming modded XCOM2 run. Please have a nice day/evening.

Should both be working fine. Skulljack Mind-Controlled units works by changing the target conditions of the the Skulljack and Skullmining perks.

This mod works by adjusting the damage amount and type they do.

Could we please know if a fix is in the works concerning this mod ?

I'm basically in the same situation as @Zelfana, where I'm using @Hotl3looded's mod to fix the issues with mind-controlled enemies through skulljacking and obviously this mod paired with @NotSoLoneWolf's overhaul.

If no fix is possible, could you please share your recommendations on how best to proceed to get these mods working together to have the smoothest skulljacking experience in game ?

As always, thank you very much for your assistance and sharing your creations with the community here.

Skulljack Mind-Controlled Enemies is what conflicts with this as they both edit SKULLJACKAbility and SKULLMINEAbility. Could possibly include changes from that?

SKULLOuch Straight to the Dome only edits SKULLOuch and works fine in tandem.

i have skullouch straight to the dome
RustyDios  [author] 26 Jan, 2022 @ 7:45pm 
Hmm, that's the bug they have without this fix .. are you sure the mod is enabled?
Are you running any other mods that might affect the SkullJack/Abilities ?
Nero 26 Jan, 2022 @ 7:04am 
it seems like i have this mod installed but the skulljacked enemies still are alive even though they appear dead
RustyDios  [author] 30 Aug, 2021 @ 9:28am 
Well, this was designed to fix the interaction issue between SkullJack/Skullmining and Energy Shield Overhaul ... so yes it is a requirement.

Without ESO, this would still give Skulljacks the Psi Damage Boost, which they don't need as Jacking someone kills them normally anyway, without it being blocked by ESO.
