Could you please update for WOCT.

Hoping for a WOTC port please

There is a chance the mod could work in wotc. I have a lot of mods ment for Vanilla that still work in wotc

votc please

@HandyVac Nothing you said was rude or offensive, it's cool you replied to them though. Thank you for stating in the description that it does not work on WOTC. As you know, its what all the cool kids are asking about nowadays, and many modders dont put in in there.

@Acorns, HandyVac updated the description that they are working on it :)

Wotc version?

Any chance this will get updated for wotc?

I apologise if I came over as snappy or rude, that was not my intention.

All I'm trying to say is that, in general, no mods designed for the vanilla game will work for wotc. So to save yourself time and effort testing mods one at a time when they don't mention one way or another, it's best for you to assume that no mod is compatible with wotc unless it's description explicitly says that it is.

Did I say anything that wasn't true in this comment section? You go assume whatever you want.

Ok. To help you out in the future though, unless a mod specifically says it does work in wotc, assume it doesn't.

Sorry, I see that you've indicated that it is not compativle with WotC. Some modders don't, leaving it up to us to guess and eliminate it by detious process. I was just trying to inform my fellow players. It's a good mod, I hope you update it. Thanks.

@Lux Manifestus
Well yes... of course it does. This mod was designed for the vanilla game, not for wotc.

I'm working on a wotc version, but it's proving more complicated than I hoped to adapt it.

Crashes WotC

Hope to see this repackaged for WOTC!

WotC version?

Still no LW2 version?

actually wouldn't be a bad idea to make up Flamethrower variants, like a Chem sprayer for poison or acid. maybe make the acid cone thinner to avoid it being too overpowered, and the poison one wider because it doesn't directly damage the turn it's used. is a thought.

10/10 code commenting. Also, it's a fun mod.

well, think the point of people asking for LW2 compatibility is simply the fact they like your mod and would like to use the stuff in LW2 as well. probably wouldn't be that hard to do, usually just a LWoverhaul file with what unlocks what research and resources wise.

as for War of the Chosen, I already know the Reaper's Claymore, Skirmisher's Ripjack and Ripjack punching animation, and the Templar's no-gun stance and melee moves'll be top picks for animation/model repurposing. the Tank and Biotic classes do a great job of using the shieldbearer ground punch for Team Shield and Nova, respectively. stands to reason those'll get nabbed up fast.

And yes, looking forward to war of the chosen. There might well be some animations or visual effects than can be repurposed by modders, have to wait and see.

That's why I like the proving grounds system, you never quite know what you're going to get, but it's always something cool and powerful that lets you approach your next battle in a different way.

I've tried to make these heavy weapons cool and powerful in different ways than the vanilla ones, to give even more variety between playthroughs. But if the campaign's so long that you end up getting one of everything then that takes away some of the fun, in my opinion.

It's not so much the difficulty that puts me off LW, it's the general design philosophy of it. Making the campaign longer, with more battles, longer preperation between them, and a bigger roster of soldiers to micromanage, is pretty much the opposite of what I'm looking for. A lot of people people clearly do like that, but it doesn't appeal to me.

I want an XCOM about a small group of heros, each with unique and powerful abilities, rushing through a short campaign with so much variety between the battles that you'd never see everything in a single playthrough.

hey, with the Skirmisher's Ripjack punch animation, the power fist here's gonna be in luck.

also, LW2 isn't that hard. thing a lot of people just can't break the habit of is wanting to go on every single mission that shows up. there just is some targets you can't hit, either because there's no time to infil, or the place is just too well defended, like, you know.. an actual resistance movement. Trying to off the dictator at the most well-defended base he has with a half-ass planned attack IS going to get your ass kicked.

@HandyVac actually it's not that harder. it's wider and different.. if you wait for infiltration to be 200% - mission would be walk in the sunshine :)

FALCON PWANCH!

so not LW2 updated , that's sad :'(

is there a possibility to add that jumping animation via mod? i mean theoretically

Nah, the Long War mod doesn't appeal to me. It makes the war too long, and too difficult.


If someone else wants to adapt this for LW then I have no objection, but I will not be doing it myself.

I hope it does.

Will this get an update for Long War 2, now that there's a new class that uses gadgets?

@Malidictus Or ir could even allow for straight up hovering-like filght (If that's possible)

Why not a Powered version of the Jet Boots? Could be the same thing with a shorter cooldown - 2 turns instead of 3?

Any chance of you making a frost based heavy weapon (since I haven't a clue how to)? I suppose that'd entail either adding a wider AOE on a frost bomb and making it like the blaster launcher, or replacing the flame effect on a flamethrower with the frost bomb or serpent suit's freeze in a damage cone. Oh well, I can hope.

Handy, any plans for electrical (tesla cannon), chemical (acid sprayer), or more esoteric heavy weapons (gravity gun or sonic disruptors)?

woot! shall be added to the mod list then :)

And after some slight tinkering, this is now compatable with Rainmaker For Other Heavy Weapons. Thanks to -bg- for making it, and Dragon32 for pointing it out.

couple of bugfixes:
- These weapons are now sellable in the black market
- The powered weapons are now properly granted by the Powered weapon project, instead of the heavy weapon one.

Hello, HandyVac. Not too sure if it's aimed at a mod like this (haven't got far enough in my current campaign to get MECs) but this maybe of interest, if you haven't already seen it:
Rainmaker for other heavy weapons , by -bg-

@Handyvac: have a thought for another handy heavy weapon. remember Restorative Mist? would be kinda cool if there was a way to add that back, specially if there's some way to, say, have the gas grenade effect, but with the medikit's spray.

Possible Bug Alert: Noticed that these items don't show up in the Black Market when you are trying to sell items.

This is a very awesome mod, I hope those issues get fixed though :D

Not sure how I never heard of this mod before since it seems amazing.

noooooooooooo *dramatic music*

@devotedtogame You can't

When i tried to parcel out values like that to an editable ini file I must have done something wrong, because it didn't work. So I gave up on that as a unneccesary complication. All stats are baked into the .u files and not changeable.

If i want to change something like cooldown or damage of skill which file can i edit?

well, there's also no reason to give them a powerfist either, given they get strike. yet to try the flechette launcher or Flux Needlers, but it's probably given.

Yeah, using jetboots on a Spark will almost certainly cause the animations to look messed up. But that's not much of a problem, since there's no reason to give jetboots to a spark in the first place. They can already jump.

Other than that I don't expect there to be any problems with this mod and the new patch/dlc. But since I'm having technical problems with the modding tools just now, the only way for me to test is to actually play through a campaign. Which is going to take a little while.

If anyone's already used these items with a spark, please post and let me know if they work!

@emong, well, technically it's the BIT equipping it, and it and the SPARK can already fly/jetboot anyways, so it's really more just a handy thing for melee/sniper troopers. you don't REALLY need to change it. it's just a moot point to Equip it to a SPARK's BIT drone.

It probably at least needs some tweaking to handle SPARKs equipping Jetboots, if I had to guess.

@mlipski0
I have not yet tested this with the Shen's gift dlc & recent patch, so I don't know whether it needs updating or not.

Are you telling me that it does not work for you?

Please update mod to latest shen's last gift dlc.
