Still waiting on the Wotc update...
Topsy Kretts 29 Jan, 2018 @ 11:01am 
Unfortunately this doesn't work. Nothing changed after activating the mod.
Emiel 28 Dec, 2017 @ 1:13pm 
@wiski the mod you linked does something similar, but doesn't allow you to change it per individual soldier. This mod (by the looks of it) would, right?
Don't get me wrong, the other mod does just what it says it does, but I always like being able to change it in-game rather than editing an INI file :)
VelcroSnake 25 Sep, 2017 @ 4:07am 
For everyone waiting, someone else made a mod that does the same basically the same thing, although you can customize exactly what skin you want to show through some simple INI edits. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1135393690

Dear god I need this updated for WOTC so badly! :)
Sirabot 19 Sep, 2017 @ 8:48am 
More obligatory Wotc spam. - Sorry, but your people need you.
Wolfven 17 Sep, 2017 @ 1:23pm 
Would love to see this for WOTC please =)
Rozowy Oraz Zly 15 Sep, 2017 @ 3:36am 
Need this for WoTC :3
Tazz 11 Sep, 2017 @ 12:51pm 
Another vote for Wotc. Either way, thanks for all the mods!
VelcroSnake 5 Sep, 2017 @ 11:37am 
First seeing this after WotC, would also love to see it updated.
Kahvana 3 Sep, 2017 @ 2:05pm 
Yep, I agree with Willelmus, would love to see this mod for WotC
Willelmus 3 Sep, 2017 @ 7:03am 
Time to join the choir: we need a WotC update! I'm at the Tier 3 level and I'm hatin' those Power Rangers and their shiny cucumbers!
Queen Ruby 3 Sep, 2017 @ 6:41am 
Doesn't work with WotC, damnit. I hate any gun after the T1 one because i don't want to have access to lasers and shit. Fuck!
Stephen 2 Sep, 2017 @ 1:30am 
please update for WotC
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 25 Jul, 2017 @ 5:53pm 
i think im having the same issue i can change a default rifle into what ever i want but if i want to change a laser rifle into the default rifle the button is gone
郭天师 22 Jul, 2017 @ 7:38am 
Eh,I think this mod somehow don`t work here.I replace the vanilla weapon to laser weapon and want to change the skin,then I found the skin-change button gone.Is this situation right?How could I make this Mod function right?:steamsad:
steeze4real 9 Jul, 2017 @ 8:43pm 
Is there any mod like this for armour?
CptWholesome 4 Jul, 2017 @ 9:39am 
Hey there! Is there any way to get this to work with the Long War SMG Pack? I got some SMG skins, but I can't change the skins on them. I'd love to see some conventional weapons
cortomaltes 21 May, 2017 @ 2:14pm 
Hello robojumper, many thanks for this mod because I like the standard rifles (g36, ak47 etc).
I am wondering whether you could provide the same for coilers.
Kind regards.
BulletSix 26 Feb, 2017 @ 7:57am 
is there something like this for armors?
SundownKid 6 Feb, 2017 @ 1:47am 
Great mod. I for one think that the Tier 1/2 weapons look a lot cooler, especially with upgrades.

The Plasma weapons are ugmo, even the upgrades dont look as cool (they are just random doodads stuck on the weapon, rather than actually looking like the thing they are meant to assist with).
[0ppen]hëimer 31 Jan, 2017 @ 2:41am 
does this work with alien hunter weapons?
Gem Phoenix 21 Jan, 2017 @ 4:33am 
Can you add the Coil guns to the skins list now that the whole LW2 Mod is out
MazzoPowah 5 Dec, 2016 @ 9:15am 
I think I found a bug. Can't tell if it's related to XSkin System or this mod in particular.
When using a different skin for the pistol ("T3 pistol") strange things happen:
1- pistol overwatch always uses sniper rifle
2- two "reload" button appear, the first works but the second does not
When I use the default skin for sniper rifle and pistol everything works fine.
With a different skin for the pistol I think the game somehow sees the pistol as a primary weapon. I'll try to take a look into the config files, but I don't think it's a config issue.

Incompatible with Ultimate Workshop?
vampirecosmonaut 20 Oct, 2016 @ 5:51pm 
I figured it out. In the XComGame.int for this mod, the T1 swords are called [Sword_CV_T2 X2WeaponTemplate] and [Sword_CV_T3 X2WeaponTemplate]. They should be called [Sword_CV_Skin_T2 X2WeaponTemplate] and [Sword_CV_Skin_T3 X2WeaponTemplate]. They are so similar that I didn't see it. ^..^
Dragon32 12 Oct, 2016 @ 11:16am 
@vampirecosmonaut:
For mod-added weapons showing this problem it's because in XComGame.int there're no AbilityDescName="Item name goes here" entries like AbilityDescName="Rubber chicken". Dunno if that applies here...
vampirecosmonaut 11 Oct, 2016 @ 5:12pm 
My T1 sword skins are named "T1 sword does not have a friendly name" or something similar. All the other skins are named as expected. How do I fix this?
IndigoAura 13 Jul, 2016 @ 3:38pm 
Unfortunate. I like LW toolbox for the snazzy loadout screen, but there are other mods to do what i want toolbox to do.
robojumper  [author] 13 Jul, 2016 @ 2:32pm 
Funny enough, LW_Toolbox is actually the only place that does this stuff. Nowhere in the base game, nowhere in ~100 downloaded mods, only a single line in LW_Toolbox...
robojumper  [author] 13 Jul, 2016 @ 2:04pm 
@IndigoAura
The issue is with toolbox if Randomized Damage is DISABLED. It resets Spread to the default stat, but the default stat for weapon skins is 0 (since they inherit from other templates afterwards.)

I think it is related to LW toolbox, removing it and rebuilding config files has resolved the issue.
robojumper  [author] 13 Jul, 2016 @ 5:25am 
@IndigoAura
Although I can't reproduce the issue...
Can you please give me a full list of mods you are using?
robojumper  [author] 13 Jul, 2016 @ 5:21am 
@IndigoAura
Seems to be a problem popping up lately - LW Toolbox and Damage Roulette, even when deactivated, prevents damage spread from working correctly.
IndigoAura 13 Jul, 2016 @ 3:10am 
i'm having an issue either with this mod, or xskin itself. Seems that skins for t1 mag or t1 beam are not getting the right stats, and are doing 4 damage instead of 3-5. The t1 merc plasma rifle is also getting 4 instead of 3-5

The skins for halo reach weapons and old xcom weapons are getting stats correctly however.

any Ideas? the alternate mod loader is not indicating any mod conflicts.
Sol-Phi 9 Jul, 2016 @ 8:06pm 
@robojumper
ah thank you, This mode really like.
robojumper  [author] 9 Jul, 2016 @ 1:23pm 
@Zaoll
Should now be included.
Actually, your request made me aware of a bug in XSkin System that has been addressed now.
Sol-Phi 9 Jul, 2016 @ 12:35pm 
Are there plans to add a SPARK vanilla weapons?
CEO of Lean 6 Jul, 2016 @ 9:10pm 
i love you robojumper
robojumper  [author] 27 Jun, 2016 @ 11:47am 
@Sharblue
This mod is called " Vanilla Weapons as Skins." I guess you mean the Mercenary Plasma Weapons Mod.
The XSkin System has compatibility for the Mercenary Plasma Weapons Mod, but I added them to the T3 Plasma Rifle List, since they're plasma rifles (only!), and not true skins. Converting them to true skins for T1 and T2 is a little more work, since it requires setting up custom localization and more configuration.

Also, I updated XSkin System, which should fix the issue you had with attachment graphics.
Sharblue 27 Jun, 2016 @ 11:39am 
Just a question, tho : how does it works with other mods?

I have that Plasma Rifle mod enabled, but I can't put it's skin on a T1 nor T2 weapon.
robojumper  [author] 24 Jun, 2016 @ 2:34pm 
@wookiecop
All vanilla weapons are supported...
wookiecop 24 Jun, 2016 @ 11:19am

Sharblue 23 Jun, 2016 @ 10:01am 
YEEEEEEEH !
