With "working as intended" I didn't mean it's vanilla behavior(it could be though, I never really played without LW2), but that it's working as intended by the LW2 devs. Again, don't quote me on this, might be I'm remembering things wrong.

I don't think this would be an easy change. You can trigger Fleche via context by directly right-clicking an enemy but it can also be initiated via the Fleche ability-icon. If you use the icon, you can see the hit and crit chances and the possible damage like with every other attack. In addition, yo...

This will also go in the negative area. What do you mean with this part? If the solder gets shredded twice, then looses his bonus armor, he will end up with -1 armor? If I now activate Shield Wall again that soldier becomes only 2 points of armor instead of the 3 points. Is this after two shredding...

I think I had a similiar encounter with a turret on mission start but it wasn't at an ufo. From what I saw, the turret detects your squad BEFORE it gains the mission-start-concealment(the turret activates cutscene/event triggered). After that, the mission-start-concealment gets applied to your full ...

I think I remember the devs saying that they intentionally kept the description vague to an extend, to make later re-balancing easier. So if they ever change that chance to less than 100%, they wont have to rewrite the text to reflect that change. Also, it's technically correct. There is a chance fo...

It's the same for mind controlled enemies. If you(or the enemy) kill anything while it's on your side(=under your control), no corpse drops. I think I read somewhere this is working as intended, but don't quote me on this. Because of this behavior, I always wait with the kill-shots until I loose con...

The network tower mission doesn't give corpses by default as well. If you want to change this no-corpses behavior for a sweep-mission, you can check that mission in the XComMission.ini of the LW_Overhaul mod. Look for ObjectiveName="Sweep" where bIsTacticalObjective=false and change that t...

Wow, how did I miss that?! I looked in that file, but I guess I didn't realize the connection with the TacticalObjectives variable. Thank you very much! In addition to setting Tactical to true, should I be setting Triad to false, or leave it as is? Sorry for the late reply. I don't think any change...

Does anyone know FOR CERTAIN (ie, has seen johnny mention it or has seen code verifying) any of the following: 1) Rebels in a Haven Doing Intel: Increases the amount of time you get to infiltrate missions. 2) Rebels in a Haven Doing Intel: Increases the amount of intel rewards you get from missions...

Do maps get assigned before you even see the mission? That is the case from what I've seen in the code. It seems the amount of time a mission is available on the map-screen starts ticking when it gets generated(which is before it gets visible on the map). Depending on the scanning values for the re...

Well, does the game call it a pistol? If not, then whatever it was before has been repurposed by LW2 into what it is now.

I would honestly prefer to have all perks for the AWC be visible as soon as the AWC is build, is there a way to make this happen (ini file edit, console command)? I tried the show locked perks option in the options menu, but that only works on the perks related to a soldiers class it seems. Check X...

I agree. Would be nice for a hacked unit to only break concealment if it attacks(or acts otherwise suspicous I guess, but that would be hard to determine).

I also have a quick question about the Retaliations - On the "save as many civs as possible and clear the map of ayys" type, why don't we get their corpses, like other Kill all enemy forces missions? And while JL is here, where in the LW2 files is the code for whether you get corpses or n...

As far as I know, both the base game and LW2 only hve one PCS slot per soldier. I suspect the second slot is added by a mod you use?
If that's the case, this might be an incompability between that mod and LW2.

I'm not quite sure how Schematics work, but LW2 has this code in LWTemplateMods.uc: // KILL SCHEMATICS SchematicTemplate = X2SchematicTemplate(Template); if (SchematicTemplate != none && default.SchematicsToPreserve.Find(SchematicTemplate.DataName) == -1) { SchematicTemplate.CanBeBuilt = fal...

Yes it makes sense that it works that way.
I didn't see an easy way to find mods with 'Mod Everything' as a requirement, but maybe there aren't too many using it after all..

I think GLM mods the number of weapon slots each item that came out of a lockbox dynamically. That's why your tier 1 weapons and armor opened from lockboxes could have 2 slots while generic only had 1. I agree. There is a Tier/Rarity code that grants anything between 1-4 slots of ugrades(but 4 is r...

Ok, I have something more relevant now. I looked at the code responsible for parsing the +ItemTable entries. It is in LWTemplateMods.uc , specifically in the ReconfigGear function there. This code for (i=0; i < ItemTable.Length; ++i) { if (WeaponTemplate.DataName == ItemTable[i].ItemTemplateName) { ...

Maybe something that gives it utility instead of just damage? Like debuffing enemy mobility/aim/will , in a way crippling the enemy. Could be a free action with a cooldown that allows the gunner to fall back to a new shooting position. Not sure how usefull that would be in practice, I didn't play mu...

I see, thanks for the clarification.

I'll see if i can find anything related to this in the code then.

Pistols suffer from cover, but in the equivalent situation (you are in melee range), there cannot be cover by definition. This is not completely true. I had a situation where both my gunner and an advent unit where in low cover from 2 sides but still diaginally next to each other. And since melee d...

What exactly do you mean by "number of mod slots on armour"? Do you mean the number of utility slots(where you can place grenades, medkits, the pistol and armor plates)? If thats what you mean, I found a few possible places where that might be set: In LW_Overhaul.ini : +ItemTable=(ItemTemp...
