Inheriting from the Base Classes, I added AS_Carry and AS_Body to the animation sets for the Advent and all was well: Can this be done for silly things like mutons, archons and sectoids?

Dmaonk posted:Can this be done for silly things like mutons, archons and sectoids? Sure can. A lot of the enemies share the same rigging bones. Sectoids definitely work, and I could test the rest on the AnimSet Browser. I know for a fact even faceless share similar bones, although there's heavy deformation due to their size. I think there's an argument for Fulton harnesses on gatekeepers and Sectopods though.

Unfortunately I didn't get as much progress in after my breakthrough on the carry animations. I'm wrestling with trying to make Evacuation a delayed effect (even 1 turn would make it less reactionary), and there are plenty of examples out there, but it's just not triggering right now and it's 2am, so probs time to give up. I could just leave it but I feel like I shouldn't even think about balancing it until this feature is in, I'd like to think it'll make the choice to evac a little harder in terms of conmitting to and holding a space.

Is there a mod that can upgrade non-default Tier 1 weapons to Tier 2, etc? I have a bunch of Conventional Weapons/Halo weapons workshop items that I would love to keep and have them do the same damage as magnetic/plasma weapons.

You've probably already thought of this, but just in case: Have you considered having it work like the reinforcement timer you've mentioned before? When you put down/spawn the evac marker, have it start a timer, and then once it's iterated for a turn or two, then the option to actually evac becomes available?

if you are making mods please either repost them on the nexus or link to the mod assets in a way that is manually installable noones even putting poo poo on the nexus anymore... i did not forsee there not being parity between releases in this area. the game does not allow mods to be downloaded with any of the tricks people use to do that. loving why?

CJacobs posted:If the steam workshop allowed people to manually download mods off of it, they could be downloaded and rehosted by somebody else in 10 seconds. Which, ostensibly, is not a problem really; "stolen" rehosted mods will just sink to the bottom of the pile where nobody will even see them. But Valve puts stock in people owning the rights to the mods they make for some reason. Its super easy to download and re-upload mods as your own and 'steal' them using the workshop btw Lprsti99 posted:Because you're supposed to pay for the game. noice

If someone wanted to post what little I have made they could grab the GitHub repo and do so. Any mod you download can be found in full in a folder at /workshop/<xcomgameid>/<workshoppackageid> There is nothing at all stopping a legitimate owner of the game from downloading the mod and repackaging on steam, and they get all the material they would need to modify it too. People who need the mods on nexus probably don't own the game, because there's nothing stopping a legitimate user backing up mods on their own, and moreover, it would be quicker to do it that way than trudge through nexus's hall of anti patterns. e: it's already easy enough for people to 'steal' mods, I'll always keep my code in version control just in case but other than that there's no real reason to make it easier for them.

That's the choice of the publisher, you can download mods for other games with workshop downloader sites / browser plugins.

Dunno if this is already known, this thread moves super fast (because Firaxis made an excellent game), but apparently if the dude that is carrying the loot for the map is killed via explosions, you can still get a loot drop if a sectoid reanimates him. As far as I can tell when the map is generated the game decides which enemy is carrying your loot drop. If he dies via explosions you don't get your autoloaders, which is the same system as the previous game just it's about getting bonuses (and with less Vahlen screaming in your ears) than about getting resources. Anyways, I kill a trooper with a grenade and his sectoid buddy reanimates him, only for me to reduce the sectoid to a smoking crater because I don't have time for this bullshit. Moments later a pile of candy falls out of the dying zombie's pockets.

That's related to a bug they haven't fixed yet where you can actually get double loot off a guy if a sectoid or gatekeeper zombies them.

Not surprised it's known at this point, but always fun to figure out mechanics like that by yourself. Also the game decided it would declare a spiteful "gently caress you!" at the end of that mission. Flawless retaliation mission so far (not counting civvy deaths but there's literally nothing you can do about those), my soldiers haven't even taken a single hit. Cue the final Faceless activating. He runs up to my full health soldier, takes a swipe, and gouges out the loving floor, killing both the full health dude (he survived the swipe at full health) and itself.

vorebane posted:I'm still acres away from being able to use this, but would giving the stasis suit model say an xcom soldier animset not totally screw everything up because it lacks facebones and such? Soldier Animation Sets are used for all sorts of meshes that don't have facebones, you'll be fine. As it stands the animation work has actually been pretty well done in terms of making as much stuff reusable as possible. I don't have it in front of me but the stasis suit is almost guaranteed to be using the AS_Body animation set, which means it'll support exactly the same bones used in the rest of the soldier's animation sets. This is all really easy to test in the XCOM2 Editor anyway, choose your AnimSet and Skeletal Mesh and test away at random. You'll just need to hook them up with a new Archetype to get the animations working in game. Looking at the scripts in Playable Advent mod makes it sort of clear how it all works so you should be able to follow it, or you can take a little gander at my mod on Github and look into CharacterTemplates.

I did the exact same thing (also playing blind commander ironman), and on a council mission no less. Total wipe, and I was pretty furious for a few hours. Anyhow, still pulled out the campaign win. Obviously next time, do it on an untimed mission and have the codex be the last monster activated. And keep some mimics ready.
