Mod Jam for Long War of the Chosen

NOTE: If you don't have Long War of the Chosen, tons and tons of stuff in this mod will be horribly broken unless you're really, really good at editing configs and know your way around WSR. No, I won't help you get it working without LWOTC.

I bet a lot of you are seeing that Squad Jam ripoff logo and asking, "What the heck is this?". It's a mod that mods mods, so I guess it's a meta mod. Mod Jam is a collection of configuration files, item templates, and tech templates designed to make other mods play nice with LWOTC as well as with each other. The main focus is on balance; I've left many notes in the config files detailing my changes and why I made them, but for more well-structured reports on the changes I've made, see the Discussions section. Each mod has its own Discussion thread with a full change log. Over time, I will update Mod Jam with configurations and brand new templates for more mods. The focus will be on mods that add new gear for XCOM to use.




You'll note that each of the roster mods has its own subfolder in Mod Jam's main Config folder. There are two reasons for this. The first is organization; it makes it really easy for me to keep things where I can find them, and for users to find the configs related to the mods they use and mess with them. The second reason is that it allows for multiple instances of the same config file name, which means that if I have to update already-released files, it will lead to the least amount of config file overwrites. I still highly recommend backing up all your personal changes, especially if you spent a long time on them.

• Mod Jam is intended to be used with Long War of the Chosen. A lot of the configurations won't function without it. If you don't play LWOTC but still want certain features from Mod Jam such as the new Harbinger Rifle or the Prototype Strike Module, they're workable but will require configuration work on your part.
  
  
• None of the roster mods are hard requirements (as long you read everything I write so you know how to disable certain changes), but nonetheless running them all will give you what I consider the best experience, with the least amount of work needed on your part.
  
  
• WSR is a hard requirement. I use it for many things. Same goes for Ability Editor. Both are very lightweight and versatile, there's no reason not to have them. As Mod Jam gets updates, these two mods will play more and more of an important role. Normalize Loot is a requirement for the Advent Psi Ops update and may be utilized in the future as well.

• None for the moment, at least in terms of issues caused by Mod Jam itself.

If you run into bugs, bring them to my attention and I'll try my best to fix them. If you have balance-related feedback, I'll hear you out (especially if the change is easy to do code-wise), but don't forget you can always customize the mod to your liking as well. Everyone's toybox is filled with different stuff.

• I override some localizations with my own.
  
• The enemies from Advent Hunter Restoration are not integrated into any of the lists here, as not having that mod would cause invisible enemies to spawn and I didn't want to make it required.

• Mod Jam is going to get a lot of updates over time. I may just add support one mod at a time, or I might do a few at a time if they need to tie together (like I tied Advent Sniper and Spark Arsenal together with the Sabot Rounds). Due to the subfolder system, whenever I have to add new XComLW_Overhaul.ini stuff, XComWeaponSkinReplacer.ini stuff etc., existing files should be completely intact.

• The folks who made the roster mods, who right now are Iridar, Farkyrie, Team CX, Claus, Mitzruti, Veehementia, Musashi, RealityMachina, Hotl3looded, Kyuubicle, Bstar, Deadput, Ashlynne_Lee, Wilko, and TePa. Without them, Mod Jam would have no reason to exist.
  
• InterventoR for making B&T Expanded Enemies Redux, saving me a ton of time and allowing me to focus my efforts elsewhere.
  
• Iridar for making WSR, which I continue to rely on heavily in my work.
  
• Boundir for making Ability Editor. Ditto.
  
• NightNinja54 for making Normalize Loot, another great time saver.
  
• RustyDios for helping me with code.
  
• The LWOTC team for making LWOTC, which inspires most of my workshop stuff.

(Let me know if you don't see your name in the credits and think you should be in there. I will add you ASAP.)
