Boltcasters for Loot Boxes

Description
What is this?
It's a seperate mod for adding boltcasters in my Custom weapons in Loot Boxes.

Why
Because i have the boltcasters in their OWN category to control what upgrades they get and to be compatible with mods like amalgamation or any other mod that makes the boltcasters into a category instead of rifles.

I will slowly be adding boltcaster weapons as i find them either be crossbows or bolt action sniper rifles or like the Graal Shotgun Spike thrower from mass effect. You get the point.

If you get a boltcaster from a box with an upgrade that uses more than 2 ammo or increases it's ammo capacity do tell me so i can put it in the blacklist. It would help it's name and from what mod it was from to add it in the list.

Current list of boltcasters
No land Beyond from Destiny Arsenal Ghost Templates (v1.03)
Predator Crossbow from [AVP] Predator Crossbow Ghost Template
Graal spike thrower from Mass Effect Weapon Pack
Zubo-pattern Long Rifle from Halo Weapons
Heavy Assault Cannon from Doom Eternal Heavy Assault Cannon (Sharpshooter)

Instructions to make your soldiers be able to equip them
All the weapons in this are setup as Weapon Category: Boltcaster
The default boltcaster is rifle.
If you are not running a mod that changes this (there are some out there) you need to go to the xcomclassdata.ini of the soldier you want it to be able to equip it and add this line
+AllowedWeapons=(SlotType=eInvSlot_PrimaryWeapon, WeaponType="Boltcaster")
under the header of the soldier class you want to be able to equip.

Thanks to STUKOV for his mod and extensive help (would not be possible without him)
Thanks to TESLARAGE for his Loot Mod
Thanks to Cavily for the Mass Effect Weapon Pack
Thanks to Asthye for the Predator Crossbow
Thanks to Max for Destiny Arsenal Ghost Templates

Oh ok, that's super helpful, thank you. I'll take a look at that later this week.

@xf100t you didn't read the description but it is my fault also i wasn't as detailed as needed. I updated the description. It is working as intented but i updated the description to help you or anyone else with this "problem"

Sorry, clarification: when you look at the halo beam weapon, which I assume is the plasma tier weapon that should unlock for boltcasters, it is greyed out for all my soldiers with the error "missing allowed class", when that soldier can select the normal boltcaster. Please fix when you can, it looks really cool when it works.

It seems like the halo beam rifle is set up incorrectly, both in your config and in game. It just says "missing class" ingame. Can you please fix? It looks like all of the config information that is available for all the other weapons is missing from this one.

This Javelin gun seems like it would be cool as a drop:

I'll just set it in my localmod as a boltcaster category

You know what you're right, let's just keep it as a ruler drop
Dragonlord  [author] 31 Dec, 2024 @ 12:20am 
So i took a look and there are some problems with that idea. I could hide it and add it as loot (even nerf it cause it's OP) but then you would not get it after winning the ruler. Unless you think i should leave it alone and just add it also in the loot tables? It would be OP. I mean it is already OP and it would get upgrades. Even if i restrict it to legendary boxes it would be broken. So tell me what you think.

would you integrate the frost caster from children of the king? throwing that out there since it is also a boltcaster
