does this work for LWOTC?

I am looking at releasing my own Advent Corpse only version of this for WOTC, full credit will be given for the idea. If you object @thegrimsqueaker72 please contact me and i will refrain from doing so.

Doesn't work on WOTC, don't use if you're using WOTC

A update to WOTC would be pretty :P

Well, shit... I'm in one of those 'can't do vital research because the enemy I need has stopped spawning' situations, searched around for a solution, saw this and went "Yay, perfect, just what I need..." and then read the comments. Not WOTC compatible, and clearly it's been dead for years. Bah humbug!

Oh shit, this isn't updated for WOTC. can you update this? If this is abandoned, could someone else update it?
Brian Orcus 25 Mar, 2019 @ 7:02pm 
You are a bows!

Is this mod working now? PAthetic game - only had 4 Advent corpse drops and stuck with base armour!!!
Hopalongtom 14 Feb, 2018 @ 3:21pm 
Damn I was hoping this would work for WOTC, as ADVENT Trooper's have stopped spawning and I'm unable to develop Predator Armor!

Unfortunately this mod is crashing my game when running WOTC. Tested it a couple of times and certain it isn't compatible with WOTC.

Is there a chance to have this mod for WOTC as well?

Looking at the ini file. Not sure why force level is important. Couldn't we just say, "If we've encountered the alien, then we can buy the alien corpse?"
Arkhangel 18 Jun, 2017 @ 6:09am 
@Jace: it does. they just don't show up often. I got a Sectopod Wreck in my current playthrough, and i hadn't even seen Archons show up yet.
Online Addict 11 Jun, 2017 @ 10:48pm 
Sooooo..... does this work with LW2?
GaelicGoose 10 Apr, 2017 @ 3:08pm 
Wheres config for black market sales?

ebeneezerdahk 22 Mar, 2017 @ 10:10pm 
With LW2 and various other mods inc Playable Aliens, I have only ever seen one corpse for sale on the market (Chryssalid) one month, nothing since then checked each month. Great mod in principal, needs fixing.
MadMartigan 20 Mar, 2017 @ 5:30pm 
not working for me either

Has anyone else had luck with this working??
Insufferable Smartypants 10 Feb, 2017 @ 2:50pm 
Having alien corpses on the black market is a good idea, but the peculiar rules that govern their appearance make this mostly useless in its current format. Is there any way we could just have corpses added to the market tables?

I tried to collect enough advent priest corpses to autopsy (5 required), but this mod stops providing corpses after you've picked one up, which I did on my own.

def want to know if this will work with long war
Quilliver 3 Feb, 2017 @ 4:18pm 
Is there a chance this is compatable with LW2?
Trying to get some Drone wrecks after the first 400 days is next to impossible.
twopointfour 21 Jan, 2017 @ 10:34am 
I always seem to never get Gatekeeper shells after I autopsy them so I can never build Tier 3 psy amps, so this seems perfect, thanks!
onion friend 1 Jan, 2017 @ 11:09am 
A suggestion: I wish it were easy to change what checks are performed. Right now the mod only helps you get ONE corpse, IF you haven't autopsied one, but a common problem is not having enough corpses to build a certain item AFTER autopies. Also, for folks using the Guerilla War mods, corpses become very rare and hard to get. Having small amounts available on the Black Market would be a great addition to that.

I've edited my own copy to remove the autopsy check, but it would be cool if it were an option in the INI.

Thanks!
onion friend 1 Jan, 2017 @ 11:09am 
Great idea! Some important details should be added to the description, though.

Corpses are only available on the Black Market if you HAVEN'T autopsied them and DON'T have enough to do so (so, if you have zero). Once you've gotten one corpse, they can no longer show up on the Black Market. Also, if the Market is "interested" in buying that type of corpse that month, its chance to show up for sale is zero.

So: If you've encountered Stun Lancers, do not have any Stun Lancer corpses currently, have never autopsied any, and the Market isn't offering bonus supplies for them, then there's a chance you can buy ONE Stun Lancer corpse that month.

You can easily edit three things: The wait time from when a unit is encountered until when it can appear in the Market; The chance of a corpse appearing in the Market, and how much intel corpses cost.

KhanKeal, does everyone put there mods on the workshop? Why would someone not?
KhanKeal 19 Aug, 2016 @ 8:38pm 
Can you please post the .ini formating information on what can be edited and the folder path? ppl like me have over 70 mods for this game, some from workshop, some from other places. thank you.
nang wizard 16 Jul, 2016 @ 4:56am 
Can you uh, post how to edit the INI in the description? Some of us don't know how to do it (Cough me cough)
thegrimsqueaker72  [author] 10 Jul, 2016 @ 10:40pm 
Er... you'll only get a max of 1 every month, and only then if you don't have enough to finish the autopsy (ie. zero).
Zephyr_One [UEMC] 10 Jul, 2016 @ 3:05am 
Thanks the game really needs this. I actually had tier 3 regular armor before I was able to accumulate the 6 trooper corpse require for plated. I even had enough time to have all 8 of my soliders in spider and EXO armor before the general tier 2 armor
Captain Cosmo 9 Jul, 2016 @ 1:44pm 
Now that's a useful mod! I can't tell you how many times I've sold corpses to the black market only to realize a short while later I needed them and the aliens weren't going to be sending anymore for a very long time. This lets me recoup that. Plus, y'know, someone's got to be collecting these cadavers whenever I do an evac mission. I don't mind paying them a bit for their troubles.

awsome!:steamhappy:
thecarcinoapathist 19 May, 2016 @ 7:15pm 
Damn good idea.

Great Work, utterly essential for the sake of logic
