Grimy's Loot Mod: Long War 2 OPEN BETA

See discussion on installation for instructions.

Things that have been changed/fixed from the original to work with Long War 2:

• Lockboxes produce loot of appropriate tech level
  
• Pistols work
  
• Have added sawed off shotguns and combat knives to the possible loot
  
• Button blocking the text on the 3rd choice no longer occurs (maybe?)
  
• Drops are fixed
  
• Upgrades (besides lockboxes) drop as timed loot during missions
  
• Upgrades appear in global loot carriers such as the blackmarket and POI
  
• Tested with and requires "Mod Everything Reloaded" instead of the no longer maintained "Mod Everything"

Stylistic Changes:

• Every box rolls a primary weapon, an armor, and a secondary weapon for you to choose from instead of 3 random items to choose
  
• Works fine for alien ruler loot without the expansion, if you want to remove this the ini can be edited (or just never pick it...)

Future items:

• I was unable to maintain any of the localizations (translations) besides English
  
• A localized string for each loot entry is needed (in a way that would make it easy for other mod authors to add to)
  
• Would like to refactor how upgrades are chosen (lots of config right now and a lot of uncontrollable variance in item quality)
  
• Remove upgrades that don't make sense for long war
  
• Add upgrades for new secondaries introduced by long war
  
• Expand library of upgrades using long war abilities
  
• Strategy layer balance
  
• Tactical layer balance (if that's even possible)

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:


Lockboxes are opened with research.
Lockboxes contain equipment already filled with randomized upgrades.
Higher tier lockboxes contain more powerful gear and upgrades.
Higher tier lockboxes won't appear until later into the game.

Includes
96 new upgrades for primary weapons
81 new upgrades for armors
45 new upgrades for pistols
45 new upgrades for swords
87 new upgrades for gremlins
45 new upgrades for psi amps
45 new upgrades for grenade launchers

2 New Continent Bonuses
Prowler's Profit - Lockbox loot contains only advanced and superior upgrades
Safe Cracker - Lockbox decryption time is halved.

The original implementation is work of grimybunyip.
Grimy is no longer maintaining the original and has no plans to port it for LW2. Any stylistic, design, or balance changes in the course of making this mod Long War 2 compatible do not necessarily represent Grimy's style or design choices.
Thank you for letting me continue this mod grimybunyip!
