/xcg/ - XCOM General

>That still doesn't change that the intended release is basically pointless in game outside
Yeah and? Vanilla XCOM2 wasn't made with more then 3 weapon tiers in mind. These aren't made to mesh perfectly in the vanilla game, why would they?

The point of this is to release LASER WEAPONS. What people want to do with them is up to them. I don't really know what your talking about, its a weapons cosmetic mod, not a balance mod.

About a coinflip. Just depends on what I want for that soldier.

I'm sure the same guy is working on it, they just priotized T2 and T3, since X2 T1 has the strongest cosmetics and most choices.

Anyone else have their uniform manager mod break with the new LW mods?

PAY RESPECTS TO SNIPER KILLING SHIV FROM DOWNTOWN DALLAS

>use the combine voice pack
>every line feels sensible, yet I can't understand it

This must be what English sounds like to non-English speakers.

RIP hero shiv

you will ride eternal, shiny and chrome.

They had it carry an explosive in. Why not put a remote-controlled gun on them instead so they don't have to waste the robot by exploding it?

Probably time constraints. If it wasn't set up that way from the start they weren't going to waste time setting it up while there's an active shooter. That's just a guess.

>Risking shooting him when a explosive is guaranteed to kill him
Do you play in easy modo?

They're not anime enough. I usually change them to bright blue or purple.

I use the SSJ hair mod for them

And then spend exorbitant amounts to fix it/make a new one.
I mean, just as a general design. A shooty robot seems like a generally good idea for single-suspect situations.

To destroy the explosives on the guy, it was going to have to be done either way. They do that a lot with those bots.

>shooty robot
I don't think police forces really have those. They probably sent in something like an EOD bot a bomb squad would have (Heh, the potential irony).

So they could name it FRAG-E posthumously.

I don't see what how battlescanner change was a fiasco, clearing half the pods without having to engage them is broken.

Only change I disliked was the infinite drone repairs, that was a minor neat trick that felt like it got removed just to spite beagle.

The "solution" was ridiculous. You also hardly cleared half the pods, it was a good tactic, not a foolproof way to break the game.

Post more imaginary arguments between JL and Jake

Reposting unless that one anons right about it being bust with SLG
Think I'm gonna do a LWS playthrough now they got a decent bit out.

Gimme some Toolbox options to use

Has anyone gotten anything useful from the Daiz name generator? I remember one or two people in the thread used it last year, but when I tried it on long war all my soldiers got the same name (even though I typed in multiple).

How is it supposed to work exactly? Assuming I do get it working I'll still only come up with 100 names or so, on an 80-soldier barracks that will create a lot of dupes.

It worked for me, so honestly not sure what is wrong on your end. I was playing B15 at the time though, but really it should work fine for 1.0.

It was a good tactic, yes, but clearing maps? The only way you can achieve that is with the vast majority of your squad being snipers, which will present a whole new plethora of problems. JLs reaction was overblown and would completely fuck things over. The change that was eventually settled on(missed shots trigger pods), should have been the first thing on the table.

Who do you equip the bolt caster on? On the specialist is tempting, but the reloads get in the way of the spec's abilities that only cost a single action, they're the go to guy for a stock and guardian obviously needs more than one shot.

Didn't they also reduce how many battle-scanners you could carry?

>Install Xpiratez
>Only go on missions when you feel like it.
>Sit back and chill, micro managing everything.
>Huge tech tree ranging from stone age weapons and muskets all the way to plasma.

I didn't realize Xcom could be so comfy.

What's the end effect? You input 50 names, all your will have one of those 50 names, correct? And you probably need to do some manual renaming after to remove dupes?

Yes. It is the comfiest.

Yep. It just replaces the file with the default xcom namelist with your own.

Oh man that perk pack looks fucking sick

Too bad I can't play the fucking game thanks to pure virtual crash. Fucking Jake. I just want to make cool looking units and murder ayys

If I disable SLG it just disables the story mission? All I need is to build the PG and have the resources? Seems easier than slogging through that mission pre-mag'n'plate.

Uh, to build a Spark I mean.

Meme

Jake?

Thanks, guess I'll try it again later then. I'm on a fresh install so it may work.

This can only end well.

>Trying to stealth Blacksite
ITS A TRAP AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I would know.

>AHHH FRANKIE SINATRA

>tfw you successfully stealth a Blacksite with a 6-man squad

>Install Laser weapons mod
>Play on a current campaign
>Can only build the laser shotgun and sniper rifle, when I just wanted the laser rifle and lmg
Damn it.

Was it legendary?

But the patrols know where you're going and will target your ass as they move around. Stealthing that shit is borderline suicide

ATTENTION EVERYONE

LWS' Alien Pack should be released within a week or two, so if you're thinking of starting new playthroughs it would make sense to wait for that to come out as well.

By the way, LWS' own game is currently on hiatus while they work on X2 stuff, and remember that they have one more big magnificent mod coming after the Alien Pack. It won't be soon, so you shouldn't wait for it right now, but it should be a lot of fun when it eventually does.

I tried. I failed.
An attempt was made.
This went well.

>Stealth blacksite
>Not going in with 6 grenadiers, exploding your way thorough the walls.

It's even better on avatar facility missions, when you can drop an evac zone in the middle of the facility if you blow the roof off first.

Source? Proof? Are you Long War?

>one more big magnificent mod
LW2 please

Thank you hidden LW member

Source is LWS dev from X2 modding chat

And the final mod I mentioned was announced at the same time as the three current ones (Laser Pack, Perk Pack, Alien Pack): longwarstudios.com/news.htm

>2 panicked
>1 stabilized
This was a good idea.

Yeah, knew about the Alien Pack , was more of the timing I was curious about. Thanks for the info.

And so now I have two half-dead soldiers being carried to EVAC.

Alas, poor Smokey. His last words were, "Holy fuck, they're fuckin' us over!"

How very astute.

MEMES COMMANDER

don't leave us hanging nigga
do they make it?

Are you asking the Commander about memes, are you declaring yourself the Memes Commander, or are you asking for the Memes Commander to reply to you?

At least there will be someone to remember them.

Meme until your hearts content commander.

Post brave advent peacekeepers

Reminder that Garth is a faggot

Jake > Garth

How does A Better Advent interact with Improved AI? Does Improved AI fuck with some ABA units?

If they do, then I'd rather just get one instead of just causing conflicts. ABA is the better one here, right?

But why are they competing?

...

There can only be one memes commander

Don't stealth

Hi Garth

>tfw you get the runs while on patrol

If only I had known. Gone but not forgotten.
At least I saved the axes.

Fuck off xscum

Say that to my face you god damn ayy

Is Jake going to strip on camera again?

Hopefully

What was that russian (I think) steam workshop mirror site?

Fuk this game. 4 88% chances to hit miss and now they are all fukkin dead. Fuk

/xcg/ modders, I have a question for you.

How hard would it be to add a new enemy using a completely new set of animations? Or, failing that, a new enemy that uses gremlin animations?

I haven't seen a single custom animation/animation replacer yet. Even the combat knife just uses the Advent Stun Trooper stab. Enemy that uses Gremlin animations is plausible though.

Sassy Snake though.

Uh? What happened?

kek, was about to say the same thing. I'm glad modders have their priorities in order

The SDK is completely shit, so either he lucked out and got his to import or he used some other unreal editor. I've tried to import animations myself and they all just crash the SDK.

5 police killed, 11 injured by a jackass trying to snipe with an AR at a police brutality rally. Was killed by a robot with an explosive.

some shitter was shooting cops in Dallas and the police blew the sniper up with a bomb rigged to a robot

gunman on a rooftop fired on police at a black lives matter protest and the police cornered one and blew them up with a robit

I was really living under a rock this entire morning.

it happens

>I can make a decent recreation of my favorite robot design
10/10

I wish there was more SPARK customization.

dont we all

We just need to bring back the old mec minigun
