This equipment seems to cause IRI_TemplarShield to be unable to obtain a shield. If you know how to solve this problem, please tell me.

can this use in LWOTC now?
Johnny_exe 2 Apr, 2024 @ 6:20am 
I believe i just added them when already crafted celestial gauntlets by command wsradditem castergauntlets_bm

In LWOTC I see the T1 gauntlet but that's it. Does it not scale/upgrade in LWOTC?

I have a problem where you only get the caster gauntlets in a new game. In my current save it does not show up.
Doctor Diken Bauls 9 Sep, 2023 @ 2:25am 
can this remove the balistic shield?
EL ZILCHO 13 Jul, 2023 @ 9:09pm 
how do u upgrade this in LWOTC?
Kinsect 28 Apr, 2023 @ 9:14pm 
Is this compatible with Covert Infiltration/Prototype armory?

@ Johnny_exe did you try Castergauntlet without the "LWoTC" ?
Johnny_exe 27 Sep, 2021 @ 10:05pm 
Can someone please make mod for Wotc like this but working :D
Cookiesnm1lk 29 Mar, 2021 @ 4:20am 
more the half the time the game uses the "fire assault rifle" animation and sound when i tried to use my templar's blades. is there a fix?
Good Boy Authority 24 Feb, 2021 @ 6:58am 
For more info, I use your FragCannon, BowCaster, and Kinetic Strike mods and they showed up as build options(Love these mods btw great work). The only mod I have that touches Templar is A Better Barracks, but I'm almost positive it only made changes to skills, not weapons. I use the alternate launcher, and tried clearing the config, but it still doesn't show up.
Good Boy Authority 24 Feb, 2021 @ 6:31am 
It's not showing up in the build section for me. I've already maxxed out all upgrades in the game, and done all research projects. Is there a way to fix this?

https://imgur.com/4e63R1X I'm not using LWotC, what could be causing this, where instead of the gauntlet attack, a set of bulelts is from nowhere that hits the enemy?
Girthquake 23 Oct, 2020 @ 9:17pm 
How do I actually use and equip these weapons? I do not see them in my primary weapons tab. I have the max level of weapons unlocked
Voltrax 9 Sep, 2020 @ 2:32pm 
does anyone else have animation lock when they get the arc wave upgrade
GargakOfTheEast 27 Jul, 2020 @ 4:45pm 
Hi @Alterd-Rushnano

This is a great mod. I like it so much better than the regular Templar gauntlets. You did a great job <3

I have two suggestions:

1. Can we get an option for removing the regular gauntlets from the game? It can be easy to forget when equipped the squad to switch to the caster versions.

2. I like the modified Templar attack animations you made. Can we get other ones too? I dunno how hard they are to make. A "Shoryuken!" uppercut would be awesome! :D

@SolarNougat
That paragraph was actually a matter of my Long war Hero Pack rework.
And you can increase the Focus level to 5 by wearing a caster gauntlet.
SolarNougat 24 Jun, 2020 @ 1:27pm 
Also, would it be possible to edit the configs of this mod to further raise the Focus cap to, say, 5?
SolarNougat 24 Jun, 2020 @ 1:17pm 
What does "Also not available Fleche" mean in the description of Focus Booster?
Johnny_exe 8 May, 2020 @ 11:16am 
@nekojusan,
I also tried it but like +AllowedWeapons=(SlotType=eInvSlot_PrimaryWeapon, WeaponType="LWotC_CasterGauntlet") with no luck sadly
nekojusan 8 May, 2020 @ 8:33am 
been trying to manually add this into RPGO but with no success as im not quite sure of the caster gauntlet naming conventions
+AllowedWeapons=(SlotType=eInvSlot_SecondaryWeapon, WeaponType="LWotC_CasterGauntlet")
nekojusan 8 May, 2020 @ 8:19am 
it doesnt work with RPGO alterd, i think RPGO uses a separate Shard Gauntlet entry to allow their class combos to work. i would love to see it working with RPGO :)
Johnny_exe 5 May, 2020 @ 11:52am 
Is it for Long war of the Chosen only? Doesn't work on WotC for me
4rrakis 23 Apr, 2020 @ 2:46pm 
It does add an alternative.
wingfriend 23 Apr, 2020 @ 2:40pm 
Looking at this mod, so does this replace the original Templar gauntlets? or does it add an alternative option for them?
Majoras 14 Apr, 2020 @ 3:32am 
Does this increase in Focus also affect the regular gauntlets? This is a pretty awesome setup, but I will miss the extra focus point provided by Supreme Focus.
GargakOfTheEast 2 Apr, 2020 @ 10:43am 
Oh wow i forgot to thumbs up it, too!

This is a really cool mod. Level 5 focus is super stronk. The gauntlet damage is lower, but I really dig having level 5 focus with the Reflect skill.

Tbh I wish Meditation was a standard Templar skill they got at rank 1. It is very handy, and gives the Templar *something* to do besides hunker down or do her useless machine pistol overwatch.
Chonsu 2 Apr, 2020 @ 4:26am 
I see. Thumbs up :)
Alterd-Rushnano  [author] 1 Apr, 2020 @ 4:40pm 
@Chonsu
During the hot fix update, the original comment disappeared. For this reason, I temporarily replaced it with a backup copy.
Alterd-Rushnano  [author] 1 Apr, 2020 @ 4:39pm 
@GargakOfTheEast
It is intended. Rend through caster gauntlets was implemented by punching, not by psi blades.
Chonsu 31 Mar, 2020 @ 4:52pm 
The description seems to be gone. I remember, that this mod is not working with some other mods. I just don't remember which ones :/
GargakOfTheEast 31 Mar, 2020 @ 9:49am 
Hi,

I don't know if this is exactly a bug, or if it is part of the March 29th update that was pushed down.

Before, when equipped with caster gauntlets, my Templar would attack normally with her energy swords during Rend.

But now, she does this weird short-range hadouken-fireball energy blast attack.

Did you do that, or is another mod conflicting and causing a different animation to happen?
Digan 29 Mar, 2020 @ 8:18am 
Ah oki thx alterd! ^.^
Alterd-Rushnano  [author] 29 Mar, 2020 @ 2:55am 
@B1bibs
Applies to all Templar classes using Gauntlets.

@𝕯𝓲𝓰𝔞𝓷
This weapon can be used by anyone using Gauntlets. So....Yes!

@The Dadfather
Instead of lowering the existing melee damage, it gives the Focus a great advantage. :-)
PancakeBandit 21 Mar, 2020 @ 6:05am 
Is this compatible with your Long War Hero Perk Pack?
Digan 20 Mar, 2020 @ 5:51pm 
whats the line to add it to soldier class?? for RPGO? so that its usable?
Marauder Shields 17 Mar, 2020 @ 4:28pm 
I can't really tell from the images, but do these casters have different models to regular templar gauntlets?
Alterd-Rushnano  [author] 16 Mar, 2020 @ 11:42pm 
[Hot Fix]
-Fixed issue where CasterGauntlet could not be built.
(A ridiculous mistake, why did I finish the final test in Skirmisher mode?)
DragonKingAbashī 16 Mar, 2020 @ 8:18pm 
Either way, this was an excellent addition. I will definitely use this for my templar psion since she is more psionic based than melee. Due to this, I think I might take a swing at revising some of hero classes I have installed. They are good, but I would like to add a brig class for them and, for the Templar Dragon class, redo about a third of their skill tree. Thank you for the mod! Looking forward to using it and the smart pistol in the near future!
Alterd-Rushnano  [author] 16 Mar, 2020 @ 7:59pm 
@DragonKnightXCX
Obviously, Templar's Rend showed a lack of damage for the nukers later in the game. Although the initial damage of this Gauntlet is negligible, it can be overcome with accumulated focus.

@RustyDios
Someone might want a 6 focus level. I don't want to intrude on your pleasure :-D
RustyDios 16 Mar, 2020 @ 7:58pm 
Eitherway, these are still cool.. the meditation ability itself is cool. An abundance of focus and a way to gain it -without going melee- really lets you use those caster abilities :)
RustyDios 16 Mar, 2020 @ 7:50pm 
You could possibly fix them up to work with Deep Focus and Supreme Focus by using Template.OverrideAbilities.AddItem('DeepFocus') and ('SupremeFocus') to the CasterGauntletMG/BM abilities .... this way the focus will only increase by 1 if the user has either of the abilities ... and thus still max out at 4 (not at 6) ... not sure, it would require testing it to see if it works that way :)
DragonKingAbashī 16 Mar, 2020 @ 6:58pm 
With all of the additions I have added to increase the game's difficulty, it is fine on my end at least. It is all about how you balance things out. While 12 damage seems a lot, that wouldn't kill a sectoid in my campaigns. They have around 10-15 health plus 5-7 shields. And I am sure certain enemies (i.e. mutons, sectopods, berserkers) would simply slap/kick the templar out of the xcom universe lol
Alterd-Rushnano  [author] 16 Mar, 2020 @ 6:57pm 
@Void Light
Puella Magi Class mod is still in full-scale improvement. Because of the release of Magia Record, Canon for Mahō Shōjo has become more specific.

Most importantly, the Puella Magi Class at this time is backwards compatible with RPGO Psionic Soldiers-not only the ability but also the concept.
I am trying to find a way to make this more attractive.
Alterd-Rushnano  [author] 16 Mar, 2020 @ 6:54pm 
Thank you for everyone's support. I'll return with a revised LW Hero Pack mod based on this weapon mod.

And the 6 Focus Level Templar is cheating, isn't it? I am not going to edit that in this mode. Because you are very satisfied. :-)

However, there will be a separate Class mode that properly rebalances it. haha
DragonKingAbashī 16 Mar, 2020 @ 3:44pm 
I cannot tell how powerful it would get. I was being lazy in this test and only faced sectoids, but at 4-5 focus, I was doing 12 damage on rend.
RustyDios 16 Mar, 2020 @ 2:36pm 
So.. not crashing the game, but stacking with the class perks (ie 2 from normal Templar, 1 from Deep Focus, 1 from Supreme Focus and -2- from the new Gauntlets) ?

An undesirable side-effect but at least not a hard-crash :) 6 Focus Templars sound pretty insane!
DragonKingAbashī 16 Mar, 2020 @ 1:37pm 
Ran a quick test and it seems that this is compatible with mods that have a built in Supreme Focus mod (i.e. Templar Psion). Nothing weird happened on my end with it. Though, all three templar classes could generate up to 6 focus each (I redid the templar dragon to have supreme focus), so take it as you will.
VoidLight 16 Mar, 2020 @ 1:13pm 
@Alterd-Rushnano

Could you do a RPGO version of your Puella Magi Class mod?
