[WOTC] Conventional Weapons

WARNING: backup your save files before installing this mod. I'm not responsible for any undesired effect. If you point the finger at me for messing up your game, I'll laugh at you.

By default, it swaps weapons' skins from all tiers to look and sound like Conventional weapons, while keeping their upgraded stats.

If you don't want all of your weapons with Conventional skins, there's also a config file that allows you to apply any vanilla skin to any weapon tier according to your preference. See "Usage" below for more.

The config file also allows you to change the quantity of upgrade slots of your weapons. This is entirely optional and comes with the default values from the game right out of the box. You don't need to touch this if you don't want to. This was implemented under some requests due to incompatibility with another mod.



It doesn't change weapons skins individually for each soldier, only for weapons tiers.

It doesn't add anything new. All assets used are original from the game. You won't get a bunch of new weapons clogging your inventory, it'll literally just allow you to swap the vanilla assets for your already existing weapons.

It doesn't change any weapon stat. Everything is as original as possible. Only cosmetics are affected.



This mod works by swaping the templates directly. If you use this mod with another mod that does this as well, something will not work.



Extra Weapon Upgrade Slots - WotC



If you don't want all of your weapons with conventional skin, edit the following file according to your preference:


Use "1" for Conventional skin, "2" for Magnetic skin, "3" for Beam skin and "0" for Default.


Example 1:



Example 2:

Let's say that you want all of your weapons with default skins according to their respective tier but only the Pistol with Conventional skin for all tiers. Then your config file should look like this: XComVanillaSkins[www.dropbox.com]

If you change a weapon's skin, you must change the attachments' skin for that weapon as well, otherwise you'll get the wrong attachment skins for your weapons.

To restore the original skins of your weapons, set all weapons on the config file to "0" or simply disable this mod.

If you disable it and wish to remove the warning about missing mod, use this: Remove Missing Mods for WotC

IMPORTANT: Backup your config file if you don't want to lose your settings, otherwise you'll lose it everytime that I update the mod (which won't be much).

I'm not a modder and I made this mostly for personal use until some real modder update (or not) the mods XSkinSystem and Vanilla Weapons As Skins, so, don't expect fancy features or frequent updates.
