I think what you need isn't LWModmanager but rather PatcherGUI. It is what is used to install those mods.

After countless hours trying to get this to work, all I needed to do to the original file was add .SoldierLoadout:AUTO to the object and ADD .upk TO THE FILE NAME!

I think I found the problem. I have a UICollectionblahblah.upk that contains the hex edit required to allow the soldier loadout screen to be able to show 3 small item slots and figured I could just dump the hex edit into PatcherGUI. As it turns out, however, my modified UICollection....upk was actually a decompressed upk file. This whole time I was trying to make Xcom's compressed upk file use a hex edit for a decompressed upk. I guess that means that using PatcherGUI's "Pseudo Code" function is the only way to get the results I want, but all the examples I see of pseudo code have contain hex values. For example: UPK_FILE=XComGame.upk OBJECT = XGTacticalGameCore.GetXPRequiredFIND_CODE = 0F 00 <.iXPRequired> 1D <%u 10000000>MODDED_CODE = 0F 00 <.iXPRequired> 1D <%u 99999> I presume that the hex values indicate where that specific string of code is, but 1: How do you even find that out and 2: Wouldn't those values be irrelevant because PatcherGUI injects things into a compressed upk file (while these reference a decompressed file)?

I appreciate the help but I still can't seem to make any progress. Every time I change my installation txt. file (to get it to work) and have PatcherGUI try to use it I always get the following: "Failed to create backups!" > "Error Patching UPK!" > "Failed to copy the file ....................... '(error 0: the operation completed successfully)" I have no idea what is causing the problem but I suspect it is because of the way I wrote the installation txt. file. One example of a mod using PatcherGUI looked like this: MOD_NAME=My SHIV is SpecialAUTHOR=Peasly WellbottDESCRIPTION=Opens SHIVs to customization. Version: 1.0 Compatible with XCOM Enemy Within/Enemy Unknown versions: - All hopefully UPK_FILE=XComStrategyGame.upk OBJECT=XGSoldierUI.UpdateMainMenu[bEFORE_CODE]<IsATank> 16 18 20 00 19[AFTER_CODE]<IsInPsiTesting> 16 18 20 00 19 I see that the author has included <...> here but I have no idea what purpose it serves. Also (I probably should have asked sooner) but what exactly is an OBJECT?

So I finally figured out how to display 3 item slots in EW (with the help of this link: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/967933-r-d-inventory-items-weapons-overhaul/page-3) and wish to upload it to the nexus through PatcherGUI, but can't seem to get PatcherGUI to make the process simpler. Here is what I have so far: MOD_NAME=Additional Item Slots for EW(Amineri Edition)AUTHOR=MrWatsyoname (kinda)DESCRIPTION=This mod is a recreation of a Hex Edit Amineri did to allow for 3 small item slots to be displayed in EU. Unfortunately, you will have to change the default value of Small items on all armor types on your own.
