Mechatronic Warfare Perk Pack

Description
Just wanted to use this space to shout out the VTuber ClaudoLockly[www.twitch.tv], who runs this perk pack alongside many other mods for his WOTC streams. Lockly doesn't play LWOTC, but he's still fun to watch and interact with.

This is exactly what it looks like: the abilities from NotSoLoneWolf's Mechatronic Warfare mod in a perk pack form. Check out Mechatronic's Workshop page for more information on the abilities. I mainly made this so I could drop Mechatronic Warfare from Mod Jam as there were conflicts I couldn't resolve any other way, but anyone who is playing a big overhaul mod like Long War of the Chosen or A Better Barracks and doesn't want Mechatronic Warfare's other changes can put this perk pack to good use.

Let me tell you about its features.
  • All abilities from Mechatronic Warfare are included here, and have the same template names as before for maximum compatibility.

  • I've nerfed the Overclock ability down to +50 Hacking, +3 Mobility, and +15 each for Aim and Crit Chance. These new values are reflected in the localization. All other abilities are unchanged.

  • Anything relating to bonds and bondmate abilities is not included.

  • All of Mechatronic's equipment changes, researches, strategy layer changes etc. are not included. Only abilities. No extra equipment slots will be added either.

  • No ClassData is included. Grab the abilities and make your own (you can edit the vanilla one, or LWOTC's, or ABB's, etc.). This also means that SPARKs will not be able to bond with other soldiers and will not gain abilities from the Training Center.

  • The localizations, including those in the non-English languages from the original mod, are intact and (mostly) unchanged, although I only kept the ones relating to abilities. The only one I changed is the above mentioned Overclock bit, and only for the English localization.

Mod requirements:
  • The Highlander is a hard requirement. The main one, the beta one, or LWOTC's will all work.

  • New Promotion Screen By Default is required only if you're NOT running Long War of the Chosen, AND you want to give your SPARK more than 2 ability rows (such as if you wanted to set up Mechatronic Warfare's ability tree for your SPARKs).

Known issues:
  • None to speak of right now that I'm aware of.
If you run into bugs, bring them to my attention and I'll try my best to fix them. I'm not going to be addressing balance concerns with this release. Almost every ability here can be configured on the user end.

Conflicts:
  • Don't run this with Mechatronic Warfare (the regular or the Beaglerush edition). There will be a whole mess of conflicts and there's no reason to use them together anyway.

Future plans:
  • Bug fixing if it's needed.
  • I am NOT adding ClassData to this, and don't ask me to. This mod is for people who want to edit their own classdata, or who use Long War of the Chosen.
  • I will be releasing a separate mod with my SPARK class changes that debuted in Mod Jam, since I'm going to be removing those changes, and Mechatronic Warfare support, from Mod Jam in order to address some conflicts.

Credits:
  • NotSoLoneWolf for giving me permission to release this perk pack, for making all of the abilities and for making Mechatronic Warfare itself.

(Let me know if you're not in the credits and think you should be in there. I will add you ASAP.)

I considered that it might be that I'm missing the Shens last gift DLC but I am using other mods, that also require the DLC, just fine.
Maybe this mod can't function without something in the DLC that other mods can fucntion without?

the "error detected attempting load of" message doesn't actually apply to the mod it states.. it means you are missing something the mod it states requires.

if you have all the dependencies (CHL) then something else else is missing.. likely the Shens Last Gift DLC ?
★ ガズー ★ 9 Sep @ 12:23pm 
I'm not. I have all required dependencies for all of my mods. Unless there's a dependency of this mod that isn't listed above

you are missing a dependency of this mod

How did you extract the perks from the mod?

Do you have all the required DLC and mods ?
Giggles 6 Dec, 2023 @ 6:37pm 
Not sure why, but when I launch with this mod loaded I get an error trying to load the mod. Tried resubscribing but nothing.

You're welcome. The best answer I can give you is looking for a spark mod if you want to change how sparks work. Mechatronic warfare, modular sparks,... the workshop offers muliple options.
