(WOTC) Adam Jensen Arm Prosthetics

Description
War of the Chosen version of my mod, Adam Jensen Arm Prosthetics.

Link to the Vanilla/LW Version here:
http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1190829763

====
A new prosthetic arm, purely cosmetic, for both male and female soldiers!
Created with Blender and GIMP, based off of Adam Jensen's arms from Deus Ex: Human Revolution (and its sequel, Mankind Divided).

Simply go into Soldier Customization->Body and you'll find it in the Left and Right Arm categories!

NOTE that I've heard there's weirdness involved with the Resistance Warrior set (not the recently released Legacy DLC, but the pre-order kevlar set). You may want to avoid that when using this mod.

If you want more, please let me know, and what type of gear you want!
Variations of existing? New stuff entirely? Make sure it doesn't already exist, first! ;)

====
Contents (fit both male+female, as well as the hero classes - they're cosmetic props usable with any tier):
-Jensen Prosthetic
=Left Arm
=Right Arm

=Ten Kevlar-Armored Variants
=Two Warden (tier 3) Armored Variants

+Buff version of Female Prosthetic (female only)

====
Recommended other mod(s):
Jensen's Glasses by Old Spice Odor Blocker (works with WOTC - tested myself. Ignore the error):

====
(potentially) FAQ
Q. "The arm clips a bit with some torso(s)!
A. The arm was built based on the Kevlar-tier Anarchy's Children "Bare Arm" props, which themselves may clip with some torsos (even kevlar tier vanilla stuff!).
Due to mods and even different armor tiers, no single arm prop will fit everything, even with just official content installed: I cannot make it fit everything perfectly.

==
Q. "Why are female Warden arms differently sized/why is there a buff version of the female prosthetic?"
A. Multiple reasons!
-Warden-tier vanilla arms and torsos are differently sectioned (torsos in Kevlar+Plated have the shoulders, but in Warden the arms have the shoulders)
-The female version of Warden-tier arms have the elbow differently positioned (slightly higher up)
-The female version of Warden-tier arms are more buff (I guess Warden armor is good for your arm workout)

I made the buff version of the female prosthetic because when I match the regular female prosthetic to the position and dimensions of the female Warden arms, it made for an easy opportunity to just make an unarmored version of the buff arms, too.

==
Q. "There's too many options!"
A. You can comment out options you don't think you want to use.
Go to ...\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1190827510\Config, and open XComContent.ini (Notepad will do).
The lines are commented to mark each arm's section. Simply add a semicolon to the beginning of a line to comment it out.
(there are two lines per "class" - XCOM Soldier, Reaper, Skirmisher, and Templar, with each line being for the male then female
To completely prevent one arm variant from showing up, simply comment out all 8 lines in a category.)
---
As a visual Cue
This Line and the line above are not Commented Out
;But this line is
---

Please note two things if you do this:
#1. If the mod updates, XComContent.ini will lose any changes you made. You can simply go back and re-comment out whatever you didn't want.
#2. You can do this for other mods that add cosmetic props, too. May help reduce clutter in your menus, if that bothers ya.

====
Known Issues
-I've had at least two reports of incompatibilities with the Resistance Warrior DLC (pre-order DLC pack) and being unable to unequip these arms. If you have this issue, you may want to grab an invisible parts mod from the workshop to work around this.
If you know of a way to fix this problem, I'd appreciate it - comment below.

Incompatibilities
-None known yet. Should be none, since this is a purely cosmetic mod.

  • You do NOT need permission from me to create patches for this mod (for overhauls, etc.). Go nuts!
    But still, give me credit for the initial mod. :p

  • As of now, I will be the only person to upload this mod, and it will be available on the Steam Workshop. Please do not download from other sources, as they're not from me, unless it's part of a modpack!

  • I may build upon this mod. I spent a long time on it, and I have ideas for additional goodies - guess it depends on response and how I feel about it. :p

I've been futzing around with this for a while. Somehow I got a "no legs" listing for legs now, but not one for arms. I figure I'm just going to have to use Spart's DLC Bash with a Kevlar armor loadout. But thanks for looking into it!

@Calfironiadreaming

How very odd. Why would my mod also need invisible arms if other mods already add them?

Thanks for the feedback, by the way. This is perplexing. @_@
Californiadreaming 4 Feb, 2020 @ 8:47pm 
Yep, have them both. This problem also occurs with Kexx's new Sci-Fi bodysuit mod.

@Californiadreaming

I've not been receiving these issues with my latest arm mod, where because of complaints like this I added
'Invisible Parts For Hero Units'
and
'Empty WOTC Deco Slots for XCOM Soldiers (+ Some other empty things)'

as required mods.

Do y'all have those? I may just add them as requirements here if they work for y'all on this particular issue.

Late to the party but the only solution to @panos Sigma's problem is the Unrestricted Customization mod, which I really don't want to use. You just need to add a "No arms" option that removes the arms entirely.

@Panos Sigma

Thanks. When I feel up to it may scroll through the comments or Arkhangel's comments to see if I can find something resembling what he mentioned. It's been over a year since I touched this mod, so hopefully I can track down the problem then, but gonna likely be a bit.

@Derejin Not a modder myself to help you, but I'm glad that you take feedback like a grown up and you want to improve your work. You did a great job aesthetically with your mod. It's a shame that it isn't compatible with one of the official cosmetic dlc, for now. Hope you'll find a solution.

@Panos Sigma

I'll make a note in the description in the interim.
Sorry about that, didn't know that was effecting everyone.
One person before reported issues with that DLC, but only one. Most error reports I've had, also, tend to be user error if that specific issue is only reported by one guy among literally thousands.
Doesn't mean it's always user error, but... yeah.
Recently got room to redownload the devkit, so maybe can get a fix in some time relatively soon.

If you know any solutions shoot 'em my way, as I don't know what causes that strange interaction with that DLC (Have it, but never really used/examined it).
Can't make any promises about being prompt. Gate was left open and my dog just went missing - been walking around the block looking for her during allergy season. And it's crunch week.
May be slow to update. :cozycastondeath:
Any tips on fixing that'd be great.

"Known Issues: Nothing major reported!" That's a lie. The mod FORCES itself to the Resistance Warrior Pack DLC armor sets (arms) and it causes major clippings. You can't remove them from these armor sets. Although you've mentioned this vaguely in your info, you should be more specific about it. Your mod basically breaks an official cosmetic dlc. No hate, I'm only posting this for others to see.
