for whatever reason, this mod was preventing me from launching the game. Granted, I have about 200 mods, but disabling this one worked. Just a heads up. It's a very old mod after all.

Is it compatible with Wotc?

is it wotc compatible?

Is this mod broken? None of Gallant's weapons are showing up in game for me.

are you going to make a honey badger gun mod?

@JaydN last time i played with this mod it will switch to the mag/plasma variants so no sorry

can u make an M1897 Trenchgun or M37 Ithaca Stakeout shotgun mod pls?

does this gun upgrade up to plasma also?

@ Gallant Great mod, i used it in a special battle, see this AAR for some screenshots : http://www.wargamer.fr/xcom-2-gang-warfare-les-bikers-attaquent/

Ive got the problem Gasin but I dont have a fix.

anyone come up with an issue having the gun all black, without any possibility do color it in any way? I've noticed that it was the same in connection with Yard1PL desert eagle.

I love the shotgun. Way to go... ;-)

@Brommers You rolled Shredder as an AWC perk, but the game doesn't recognize the currently equipped weapon.

Don't know what this means.

Maybe there is the ini file that you are looking for.

Love the mod , but is it cheating ?

Don't suppose you can make a version that's free to use and is just an alternate shotgun model? That's a lot of points of resources for a few alternate weapon models I'd rather have at the beginning of the game.

If you're updating this again, I think the UI icon needs to be enlarged a bit because the shotgun looks too small. Just my suggestion.

Where is the ini file located?

can u plz get the Model 37 Ithaca Stakeout in there plox? =)

Getting a bug where the shotgun textures themselves are all one black texture except for the flashlight.

So when are you going to make the appearance of these weapons change according to the upgrades you outfit them with?

Where do you find the XComWinchester.ini file?

oooh me likie :)

Could you adjust the size so that it fits better into characters' hands? Seems a little too small right now. Though I notice that this is less of a problem during missions. Judging by your Whisper mod, I'm assuming it's a lot easier to edit gun-wielding animations during combat than in the squad selection screen?

@Lancealot They are able to be bought from the start before you have magnetic weapons.

Do these unlock alongside our magnetic weapon purchases or do we have to buy separate?

I ask because I love pump action shotguns!

@Reezy I'm working on a VSS Vintorez for the sniper slot, it's gonna take a while since I have model new upgrades and stuff. I'm pretty much just adding whatever old models I have on disk with some adaptations so we'll see what I hve laying around.

any plans for more weapons than the ones you have?

@Bhacus Nothing better except for burning a lazer in a chryssalid's face with magnetic and plasma weaponry.

glad to see other people making ballistic weapons powerful because personally i hate these lazer and plasma stuff ! Nothing better than planting an actual bullet in a sectoids skull

Is there a way to set these as the starting weapons?

super awesome work

@Gallant I like the fact that these are set to default weapon so I don't have to sit changing out all the rookies weapons :)

Yeah I could probably cut the file size quite a bit more. I'll take a look at it for the next patch.

Just in response to some of the comments about file size - are the new smaller versions still too large? I don't have any xcom modding experiance yet and so the only comparison I have is the semi-official SMG pack that long war studios put out (which is 92mb for x3 weapons)

I hope this doesn't come across as critical in any way, I really love all of the weapons you've put out and can only imagine how much work must go into them. But if there's a way to futher optimise space / performance then I think that'd be really worth while

Thank you again for taking the time to put these mods together

can you upload it at nexus?

Amazing! Very Nice indeed!

Thank you for the update I'll try the mod out now it does look really good.

@Gallant That's what I mean sorry I'm not the best with words.

It takes up a lot of unnecessary space.

Update with smaller textures for some of the add-ons that had way too much resolution for their size.

@mheath I was thinking about maybe making something for those slots as well.

@Reezy You don't need any particular research to build it, it should be available in engineering under the weapons tab from the start. You can tweak the price etc. in the config file.

@mirageandjazz1197 I don't know about messing someone's computer up, wasting their harddrive space with unnecessarily large bitmaps maybe. :^)

@mheath If he keeps it as is it's going to mess up other people's computers eventually.

the files size is too big for me so I'll keep track of this mod but wont subscribe yet the gun does look reallly nice.

do you have to research it or is it available from the start?

@Gallant dont change a thing! These weapons are a breath of fresh air! Absolutely Stunning!:) if making changes will reduce quality stay away from it ahaha:) BTW any plans on a grenade launcher, sword and sniper rifle?

yeah it uses pieces from other weapons, so you have a lot of high resolution textures. Eats up space like crazy. I could probably make all the textures 1/4 size to bring it down a bit.

FIle size is almost half a gig? Something's not right here...
