I just tested with LW Laser Pack, it seems to be working fine. In case someone decides to test as well, elerium crystals are called elerium dust by the game files and you need to add item to be able to have resources of it.
At first glance, I thought the laser and coil stats were identical, however, upon further inspection, they are not. Coil has a pierce effect, otherwise, they are the same.
To further differentiate the two, I modified the ini files. For lasers I added a small aim bonus, I remember I saw it in a mod, and I like it, makes it reliable. Coil on another hand I made the total opposite. Bigger spread, crit bonus but lower clip size.
If someone wants it I can share my files, but really, it's not hard to do.
I hoped I helped somehow, cheers.

yeah no problem

thanks for the info

There's no "Pavonis version". They never made one, which is why I made this. This is for vanilla XCOM 2, so if you're looking for a WotC compatible version, look for that on the workshop instead.

link to pavonis version?

No problem. Sorry I wasn't of more help, I just haven't even really touched XCOM 2 in what feels like months

Wow, that was pretty easy. I've done what you said. Now I have the typical 5-tier weapon setup (conventional - coil - magnetic - laser - plasma) from bullet to beam. Reducing the weapon stats and costs was also pretty easy. Thank for inspiring me to try that

I think so? You need to install the IDE for yourself and edit the research requirements. I honestly haven't touched this in months or even looked at the code in ages.

Is it possible to change the requirements and the research path for coilguns? It would be nice to get them before magnetic rifles without elerium for example. Any idea?

Try a new game and let me know.

I think it MAY be because it is a previous save game wherein I'd already researched plasma weapons. One of the mods says something about if you've already researched plasma when you try to research this it might act screwy.

So I need to test it from an earlier save point or new game.

I'm not quite sure. All of the files should be there. Did you upgrade everything? What other mods do you have running?

Most gun mods mention the need for the LW submachine gun mod. I do have that running. Is this possibly a conflict OR is there an additional "LW" mod that I need for some shared files, skins, whatnot maybe?

I've researched "Coilguns" and "Advanced Coilguns" and I can equip the Subcoiler, but that's the only gun I can even see. I do not have WOTC or LW2.

I did research this on a save game (so I could get right to it) and had already researched all the magnetic and plasma weapons, if that's the issue.

Not right now. I do not plan on updating this as I do not have time.

any way to get this working with WOTC?

Long War 2 is not being supported. The weapons pack, iirc, still is, they just haven't had time to do it because of Terra Invicta.

Also, I'll reiterate what I said below: I'm a student. I do not have time.

So with the news of LW2 not being officially supported by Pavonis, are you going to update this so it works with WOTC?

It seems they have decided not to update there mods to WOTC after all.

righto - didn't mean to come across as rude, that's my last intention, i usually assume the worst. so that's on me. my bad

Okay, good to know. And I can read lol. Seeing as the last post was last month I think they are cruising along nicely on updating

it turns out they worked just fine. i apologize for not updating the description in that regard.

however: i will absolutely, positively, 100% never update this for war of the chosen. because a) i don't have the time, i'm a student; and b) pavonis interactive (as in, the original creators) is updating the lasers AND the coilguns for war of the chosen

So has the issue between this and LW Laser Pack been fixed yet?

thanks mate

really good work spacemann whiff

11 out of 10

HOLY MOTHER OF SH** IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS (ps #swag on the good work)

@Stephen I am not going to be updating this, as Pavonis themselves is updating the laser tier and coil tier for WotC.

Please make for WotC

Love this <3

Any chance you could do that then if you know how? I would love to use it while I wait for the official long war version, but I have no idea how to fix the calling ItemTemplateManager issue.

Just to let you know i'm giving up because Pavonis is actually working on the SMG / Laser / Coil pack for WotC (http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=24671#top) . And they are way more experienced than I am.

If you are that hurry you can fix the mod by changing the way the attachment are added to the weapons by doing it in the X2DownloadableContentInfo. Calling the ItemTemplateManager outside of this file is causing the crash.

Thanks ProZeratul!!!

@ProZeratul Please, lay out soon, do not start playing WOTC since I'm really looking forward to this mod
thank you in advance

Thank you ProZeratul!!

I have a version of coil guns working for WOTC but just not ready to go public. This is not this version as I worked from a scratch extract as I din't know what caused the startup crash.

Just wait a little more.

I literally can't do a WotC release because the SDK is literally too big for me to install. If someone else wants to take up the mantle, then by all means go ahead, but I can't do it.

same here, waiting for WoTC

Il be sitting here....waiting for the WoTC release :P

@Shy-kun so you found a way to make it work?

Roger. I'll just leave the information.

I'm going to bed, so we'll have to continue this in the morning - and after work.

Roger. Let me put my Custom config back and see what happens. I'll give you intel in 30 mins or so.

Odd. I'll look into it later, because I don't currently have the CDK downloaded.

What I put was 6 rounds. Default: 4.

50/100% intel: Resub version: The Assault rifle works again. Also, i was out of ammo at first, i had to reload after i got dropped into a mission. If i took a guess... It would be the "Clip Size" reset conflict that occured.

Hm. I feel stupid. Anyway, on it.

Copy the config file that you made to another directory, then unsubscribe and resubscribe

(Hope i worded that right.)

Oh boy... All of my hard work gone. Anyway, do you have a file or something, so that i can switch back to my custom settings to test again?

No, that's fine. That sounds like a really weird bug, can you reset them to vanilla sizes and tell me the result?
