Amineri wrote:Oh right, that's because we didn't change the starting aim/offense stat compared to base XCOM 2. Both XCOM 2 and LW2 have

Code: Select all

CharacterBaseStats[eStat_Offense]=65

You can add this line, to either our config or to the DefaultGameData_CharacterStats.ini in the base XCOM 2 config folder. Either place would work.

If you wanted to get more advanced, you could create (or find) a mini mod that changes the soldier aim. It's a bit more work, but the advantage is that the config value wouldn't be overridden when we release a patch and that file gets updated.

Amineri wrote:So now I have to talk about difficulty variants of templates, unfortunately.

If you look in the GameData.CharacterStats.ini, you'll see lines like this :

Code: Select all

[Soldier_Diff_0 X2CharacterTemplate]
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_HP]=5

[Soldier_Diff_1 X2CharacterTemplate]
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_HP]=4

and so on.

The "_Diff_#" bit at the end is specifying a difficulty variant of the template. The game actually stores 4 different templates for Soldier, keyed off difficulty. Diff_0 is Rookie, Diff_1 is Veteran, so on. So you'd need to change it under the difficulty variant corresponding to the difficulty you are playing.

Finally, this won't affect soldiers that are already created. Creating a soldier copies the initial stats from the template into a separate gamestate, and it never reads from the template again. (It has to be this way, or your leveled up soldiers couldn't get better stats). Only new soldiers will see the new stats.

[XComGame.X2Character_DefaultCharacters]

[Soldier X2CharacterTemplate]
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_HP]=15

[Soldier_Diff_0 X2CharacterTemplate]
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_HP]=15

[Soldier_Diff_1 X2CharacterTemplate]
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_HP]=15

[Soldier_Diff_2 X2CharacterTemplate]
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_HP]=15

[Soldier_Diff_3 X2CharacterTemplate]
CharacterBaseStats[eStat_HP]=15

What would tighten the values in NCE for attribute ranges? It's a personal thing, but I hate negative defense and dodge scores and I'd like them not to fall below zero. I know it's in the toolbox.ini but I stare at it and stare at it, can't figure out how to make them not go negative. Tried capping the deltas at a min value of zero, but that doesn't seem to work

Setting the mins in these lines to zero
+STAT_CAPS=(Stat=eStat_Defense, Min=-10, Max=10)
+STAT_CAPS=(Stat=eStat_Dodge, Min=-15, Max=20)

should do the trick. I can't answer why it isn't.

Note that allowing a max will mean the soldiers will trade other stats to build defense and dodge, so you'll end up with less aim, hp etc.

food wrote:When I set all the min values to zero on the deltas, it went all pearshaped. Like huge negative values and other weirdness. Limiting it to just defense and dodge worked.

This seems to be the most pertinent thread to ask this, as I'm loath to create a new one for a small thing.

My question is this: I absolutely hate randomized stats upon level-up. I'm fine with initial randomized stats (Not Created Equal), because in general I believe they are balanced because of the buy system - but I hate the inequality that results from random level up rolls. How do I turn those off?

I've found the following lines in the XComLW_Toolbox.ini:

Code: Select all

;set of stats that will be randomized when soldier levels
+RANDOMIZED_LEVELUP_STATS=eStat_Offense
+RANDOMIZED_LEVELUP_STATS=eStat_Hacking
+RANDOMIZED_LEVELUP_STATS=eStat_Will
+RANDOMIZED_LEVELUP_STATS=eStat_HP
+RANDOMIZED_LEVELUP_STATS=eStat_Strength
+RANDOMIZED_LEVELUP_STATS=eStat_PsiOffense

I guess disabling those would do the trick? Do I just turn the '+' into a '-', or what?

Hi again, any takers on this? Thanks either way.
