Slashrat posted:Is the actual source code for DLC features viewable somewhere though? Not really directly, but if you open the DLC's compiled script file and scroll down to the bottom the source is in there. If you want to actually build something off of it you'd need to use UE Explorer to decompile it so that Modbuddy and do a little set up so that Modbuddy will let you reference those scripts.

I thought it was but without the SDK installed I don't really see it. The problem with XCOM2 modding is that it's a full featured SDK with very shallow documentation. It's very opaque on how to do anything and most mods we have are just based off existing work. No-ones done anything that complicated yet, I don't think we have an entirely original enemy outside the DLC or any weapons that aren't a replacement model with some different stats.

Loel posted:Also, holy crap, 'A Better Advent' does not gently caress around. Im going to have to go down a difficulty or two. Yeah, A Better Advent is pretty absurd early on. Especially with Pods Plus. Mostly because the early enemies are balanced extremely poorly and their AI is standardized. So everyone new (like even the non-standard Troopers) have grenades and will just try to shoot you, even if they're a shock-lancer. It evens out later on because the later enemies are a bit undertuned imo. But the first few months are absolutely brutal.

I'm not sure about this Dragonpunk thing out there, but it looks ambitious, at least. I like a little Shadowrun in my games, and if you don't but can ignore the goblin theme, the Goblin Bazaar thing is what I'd wanted for a while. Like the last mission's intel buy-in, where you can buy squad buffs and bonuses before missions. e: One of the things I dislike the most about Long War's classes is that getting shred on any weapons is fuckin impossible. Let my cannons shoot armor. Bogart fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Aug 22, 2016 |

Grimy's loot mod plus the "mod everything" mod turned my SPARK into a death machine. His gun ended up with a damage mod and superior scope among other mods. A special bit gave me an extra use of a plasma blaster plus increased the cone. That and the skill to already increase the cones on powered weapons meant that the plasma cone covered the tiles around and behind the SPARK. He could overdrive, 2 shot a a gatekeeper, then plasma blast all the cover across the screen in a 90 degree arc. Really overpowered but it felt pretty good. The next run might be an all SPARK A-team.

In concert with RealityMachina's Metal over Flesh, Grimy's makes an All-SPARK team hilarious as gently caress. I have SPARKs which can use Shredstorm 3 times a mission, each storm hitting an entire pod.

I'm not sure what it is about this game vs EU, but I just lose interest after a few restarts. Something about the first mission - while basically the same thing as the first mission in EU - and the subsequent pattern (guerilla ops, vip, retaliation) is just unfun to play through over and over if pushing hard mode Also wtf is up with the long war guys obsession with making things dumb? The new aliens are cool but that drone on the first mission isn't even remotely necessary

Are you running bigger squads? It feels like Long War aliens and perks are intended for a squad that's at least 2 bigger at the start - which the long war toolbox makes really easy (although it sucks that it doesn't take effect on gatecrasher).

You can also tweak MaxSoldiersOnMission in DefaultGameData.ini, which will increase the squad size for Gatecrasher. But yeah, it does suck that LW Toolbox doesn't affect it.

Super Awesome Skyrangers isn't working for me. Not sure if it wasn't updated for Shin's Last Gift or if some other mod I have is breaking it. Is there anyway I can tell or fix it myself, or is it something mod maker has to do? edit: never mind, I am an idiot that forgot new mods are not enabled by default.

Well, I finally got around to playing XCOM 2. I was a little rusty so I started with the tutorial enabled. Well, I got to the first mission, was a bit reckless due to the time limit, and one of my team got killed. This caused another team member to freak the hell out, climb on top of the truck, and grenade himself, and the rest of the team, completely wiping the mission. That was definitely unexpected.

None announced. The season pass is probably done unless they do something crazy and unexpected, since they've put out all the announced material.

There are rumors that Long War 2 is under development (I think the head of LW Studios said something like "we can't confirm that we are working on it.") Firaxis is probably footing the bill since no paid mods.
