Can I edit EXO suits' stats on my own? Pls help

Post by sirburton »

Hi guys, I just found out that the Exo suit is brutally weakened compared to vanilla.
I'd like to restore original stats (1 armor + 3 heal)
Can I do this on my own? Which file should I edit and how?
Or this ain't as easy as it would seem ?
Some sort of guide would be appriciated

I was going to say it's probably trivial, but looks like it's not, since I can't find it anywhere, the overhaul config file has data for research and build costs and what could be bonus inventory slots, but I can't find the health anywhere.

for the longwar settings, just search xcomgamecore inside the mod folder
search voices like HEAVY_PLATED_MITIGATION
heavy plated is the EXO for example

Neat, all I found while digging was references to the template HeavyPlatedArmor, and aforementioned build/research bits in the overhaul ini.

Ok so the relevant bits are lines 615-617 in XComGameCore.ini in the Long war 2\LW_Overhaul\Config folder.

HEAVY_PLATED_HEALTH_BONUS=2
HEAVY_PLATED_MITIGATION_CHANCE=0
HEAVY_PLATED_MITIGATION_AMOUNT=0

I found those stats unrealistic. The Exo is a medium-heavy suit

HEAVY_PLATED_HEALTH_BONUS=3
HEAVY_PLATED_MITIGATION_CHANCE=100
HEAVY_PLATED_MITIGATION_AMOUNT=1

this is better

Isn't that identical to predator armor though? So why ever use predator armor.

I use the exo just on the two "leaders" of my xcom army. Just to make sure that the aliens recognize who's in command lel.
I use predator on all others, spider just on shinobi/infliltrators or on snipers who needs two actions to fire.
I'll use the WAR only on my main psionic character.
