Weapon Sidegrade

Description
Ever having 100 weapon cosmetic mods installed but not able to use them because you already attached your weapon upgrades to the existing weapons and changing appearance means giving up the upgrades? This mod solves just that problem, allowing you to transfer weapon upgrades, names, and appearance to other weapons of the same category even without Lock and Load continent bonus.

To access sidegrade menu, use the button at the bottom of build items menu, which can be accessed from both avenger menu or pre mission loadout.

Currently only supports English, translations are welcome.

TODO:
- More shortcuts? (Particularly jump from loadout screen and preview those weapons directly on the selected soldier)
- Configurable sidegrade to other weapon class? (Gameplay changing - bypasses lock and load)
- Preview the weapon on screen

You may enable/disable this mod anytime.

Problems? Follow this guide first! it may solve your problems (applies to all mods) https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=625230005

Compatibility Note:
No overrides, should have no incompabilities.
This mod should work with non-primary weapon upgrades, as I don't make it dependant on primary weapons.

Works great, reporting few minor issues I've encountered:

You can take attachments off Chosen weapons, and the Chosen gun itself will actually disappear from inventory permanently;
You can throw attachments on TLP weapons and they STACK with the already present bonus (this will make for very OP stacked bonuses on tier 3 TLP weapons with tier 3 attachments). It also makes taking off the attachments of the TLP weapons impossible since the ydon't sohw as candidates for sidegrade.

This is getting a conflict with Tactical Armory UI. Is it a critical conflict, or UI only?

Works for me with WotC and 172 other mods. This mod saved me a lot of trouble. Thanks for making it.

I just activated this mod on my campaign and I'm getting CTD when loading the save. Deactivating this mod allows me to load the save, so not sure what's up with that. I have a lot of mods running (200+), but no mod conflicts in the Alternate Mod Launcher. I loaded a save in the Avenger not a tactical save.

Hey bg. Are you still looking for translations? I could help you with the german one. Let me know if you're interested.

It just add a button to the loadout screen, not an actual conflict. You just cannot access the menu from the loadout screen but you can still access it from the engineering screen.
