A note on ABW + Weapon and Item Overhaul
Okay, so this mod has some stuff in it that wants to make changes to the Weapon and Item Overhaul if that is installed as well. However, due to how shaky load order stuff in XCOM is, that doesn't seem to work all the time...

*In theory* you should already be golden if you sub to WIO first, then to ABW. This will then put ABW later in the load order and thus able to modify it. I also put some stuff into the mod that is used to modify load order if you do have the Community Highlander installed.

Now, despite all of that i had this fail on some tests. It's not going to cause crashes, but it will lead to the damage values, modslots etc not being the way i intend them.

To fix that for sure, you can do the following:

- Find the mod folder of ABW (-> 2598229800) and from the config folder, open the XComWOTC_APA_WeaponData.
- Copy everything in it to your clipboard.
- Find the mod folder of WIO (-> 2091410349) and open the same config (XComWOTC_APA_WeaponData.ini) there.
- Scroll to the bottom and paste everything from my ini at the end of WIO's ini. Don't delete the original content, just add my stuff!
- Close and save. Maybe make a backup in case shiremct updates their mod.

You have now added my changes directly to WIO. Now it no longer matters which one gets processed first.

So how do you know if your ABW and WIO are working correctly like i want them to?

Easy. Look at a ballistic shotgun in your armory. Does it have 4-7 damage? Does it have WIO's Smoothbore Barrel? If both are true, things are good.

Example

If it has 4-5 damage instead, it is still using WIO ini values. It will still have Single Reload in that case, so you could technically use these values as well. That's a bit of a nerf to the shotgun though... on the other hand, the cannon still has its modslots that way. Nah, but seriously. If you see the 4-5 damage, i suggest fixing it as described above.
