Hi everyone
Im sorry if this already has been answered, but i couldnt find anything yet:
I have a relatively simple modding request. Im happy with the game as it is (the bugs aside...), i would just make a small cosmetic change:
I really love the appearance and sound of the normal starting weapons (lmg, rifle, shotgun...) which i always miss once the game progresses.
Is there a way to give laser/plasma equivalents the same look and more importantly sound than the starter weapons ? This would preserve the "Aliens" (Alien, Part2) feeling (my crew is called "vasquez", "ripley", .. anyway xD)
Once laser/plasma is researched, first thing i do is upgrade everyone on crew anyway, so confusion between 2 different weapon tiers shouldnt be an issue.
I dont find it much of a mood breaker either, cause i can simply see laser/plasma tiers as upgraded ballistic guns.

I searched the .ini, but couldnt find anything yet. Any ideas and clues would be helpful.

I got the steam version btw.

This might work for you; rather than alter the appearance and sound of the late game weapons (which would probably require .exe changes, or recompression of the game's textures, or similar nonsense), instead alter the damage values of the early game weapons to match the aliens (which can be much more easily done using the text-based .ini file). Someone requested the plasma damage values for the modern-day ballistics here: http://forums.nexusm...ms-improvement/

If you want to simply keep pace with the aliens (I presume you do), alter the values to match those of the laser weapons at first, and later do what is suggested in the thread whose link I just posted.

Hope that solves your issue

Thanks, this works for me. Since im too lazy to swap the files out each time i get to a new weapon tier, i kinda have an unfair advantage (plasma from the start..), but since im a crappy player who couldnt beat classic anyway i dont mind xD
