Tactical Gadget Slot

Description
Adds a brand new "Tactical Gadget" Slot to Light Armors (the Spider and Wraith Suits.)

By default, this Slot simply equips the base-game Grapples. This mod is desgined as a dependency for other mods that wish to expand the functionality of the Light Armors, such as my own Better Alien Ruler Rewards.

Also renames the Spider Suit to "Corsair Suit" in honor of Long War 1.

Compatibility
  • Mods which modify the Light Armors should be fine, I haven't touched their stats or how they're obtained. Should be compatible w/ everything more-or-less.
  • New Light Armors added by other mods, such as the Orion Suit in Chosen Reward Variety, aren't effected.

Known Issues
  • None at the moment.

To-do
Visual only:
  • Seperate the Grapple models from the Light Armors, and instead only have them show when a Grapple item is equipped.

My Mods

Credits
  • Musashi for WotC Vest Slot, which I used as a base.
  • RustyDios for art assets and programming support.

does this work with lwotc?

Yeah it can confuse a lot of people, because many try to get into modmaking by altering code of existing mods without knowing it doesn't do anything.

@Iridar
I do know, I just worded it a bit weirdly. It's not exposed to an .ini, but if someone really wants to, they can override the function and add the template name of whatever armor they want. I didn't intend for that, so it's not user or compatibility friendly, but eh.

@Ni
Just in case you didn't know, mod users cannot modify the source code for your mod. If you want them to be able to add the slot to other armors, you will have to make that configurable.
Ni  [author] 12 Apr, 2022 @ 8:57am 
@Yusukitty The 'UnitHasSlot' fn in the 'X2StrategyElement_TacticalGadgetSlot' class determines which armors get the slot. So you'd have to modify that.
Yusukitty 11 Apr, 2022 @ 4:38pm 
Is it possible to add this slot to other armors?
TrooperCoon 9 Dec, 2021 @ 8:53pm 
yeah if you see on the discussion tab and look through the vest modules, it contains a vest from better alien ruler rewards
Ni  [author] 9 Dec, 2021 @ 9:38am 
@TrooperCoon Oh does it now? That changes things, not sure what will happen then if you run both.
TrooperCoon 9 Dec, 2021 @ 7:55am 
ah ok thx, was asking because armor upgrades has a compatibility with better alien ruler reward because of the vest
Ni  [author] 9 Dec, 2021 @ 7:54am 
@TrooperCoon It doesn't, that mod is a completely different implementation of a similar idea to this. I don't think they should directly conflict, but no reason to use both.
