" I also removed the mods so that Modbuddy doesn't detect the mods during shader compiling, but that doesn't do anything." Based on this, I'm not sure if you did this or not. You must delete ALL mods from ... SteamApps\common\XCOM 2 SDK\XComGame\Mods before you build EACH mod in ModBuddy. This is because of a defect in the SDK in handling art assets. If you have multiple mods in that folder during builds they will sometimes end up sharing modshadercaches, which is why it is working when you have another mod active (that one has the right shadercache and is supplying it to both), while the other one isn't getting it built-in.

Yes, so we can maintain a semblance of keeping this on topic, please take further discussion of the patch to another thread. Thanks.

I don't know of any changelog with the level of detail that modders would need that will be shared.

Not quite sure how far I can go within the confines of our NDA, but there are changes to a significant portion of the gameplay code (changes within a few hundred classes), so it all comes down to what area mods mess with. We'll have to update Toolbox and OfficerPack to fix some absolute show-stoppers, and make a minor update to SMG Pack.

Crossposting that I've uploaded our a zip of our development files to the Nexus as an optional file under the Toolbox mod.

We didn't use anything like PERL scripts or other tricks outside the mod toolkit. I've uploaded an optional file on the Nexus Toolbox page which is just a zip of the solution from our development directory. The only thing I removed was the Workshop ID file, so you should find the solution files, internal directory structure, loose icons, and the source for Tuple, Mod Options and the Toolbox files themselves. Let us know if that satisfies (although I'm not sure what else there would be to provide).

Hrm, not sure how to help here -- the only issue I ran into when uploading involved the mod preview image, which goes in the root folder with the readme. Needs to be a jpeg below a certain size -- the uploader will reject the mod without it, or if it's too big. Didn't otherwise hit any problems that I recall.

Text strings are in localization files. For English, that's files that end in .INT

There is no German translation for Long War. If you install Long War and play with your game set to German in Steam without making further changes, the campaign will eventually encounter a CTD. You can copy Long War's English-language .INT files into the German folder as a workaround, but the game will be in English.

1) Try SetPowerA 3 2) You almost certainly need to start a new campaign 3) Bad luck, although consider how you are using your stances (aggressive etc)

Nicely done! I might recommend you specifically test it at 18 tiles range -- the first squadsight-range tile. I had to do some goofy workarounds to fix a bug and let soldiers see and target aliens at that range.

A lot of people needed to verify files in XCOM on Windows 10 after upgrading to 10 but before installing LW and other mods.

@ Dark0ne Oh no, we don't want to bite the hand that's fed us for so long! And we certainly won't be *distributing* XCOM 2 mods on our site. If the community makes a home here we'll do what's in our power to help out.

Hey gang, sorry we've been unable to say until now (and even now we can say very little), but we're planning to help the XCOM 2 modding community get started by offering technical assistance where we can -- primarily on our web site forum, here http://www.longwarstudios.com/phpBB3/index.php but elsewhere as we are able.

Your install didn't finish. Run the troubleshooting steps in your download, particularly the bit about deleting the files in My Games/config

After a few months of use, I have some suggestions for improving the bug reports interface: * Allow mod author to have an "instructions" text that appears at the top of the bug report thread OR appears when a user initiates a bug report. I get a lot of reports that aren't actionable because the user didn't provide enough information about how they are using our mod. * Sort "Needs More Information" so it is right after "New Issue" instead of at the bottom, so it's easier for players to respond. * Add two new bug report statuses: "User Error" and "User Troubleshoot." We get bug reports from players 1) not following instructions and 2) not finding our troubleshooting guide. * Add a checkbox so the user can be alerted when responses are posted on the bug thread Thanks!

The 100 of the infinite items are granted in XGFacility_Engineering.GrantInitialStores() Alien Grenades are made infinite elsewhere, IIRC -- somewhere foundry-related. Remember using consumable items (rockets, grenades) on missions won't reduce the numbers in stores. Making that happen was deemed too huge an undertaking to even attempt.

The main function that sets items as infinite is XComStrategyGame.upk >> XGStorage.Init(). You'd need to remove all the calls there as a first step. You'd also have to edit all the items in the ini to have a cost greater than -1. Not having infinite items can screw up the game, however. The game looks for weapons and armor to autoequip XCOM units. IF those aren't there and you start a tactical mission, the game will usually lock up.

The game is using it in this sense:

Long War doesn't work in German because no one has finished a translation in that language. You need to switch your game to English in Steam. This is noted in the troubleshooting file, which we ask you guys to read before coming to us for help.

That's been subsumed into the motion tracker item. I think TrackTwo has a new version of the mod that turns it on all the time, or you can mod DGC.ini to give the motion tracker a different range and charge count.

This isn't a bug; we have three models for five weapons, and we changed them around some.

As it happens, Long War is feature-locked and just doing some final adjustments and bugfixing. Appreciate your thoughts though. Mod-modders are welcome to pick up the banner.

We recommend you use Long War-specific forums, accessible through the mod's page, if you want help from the Devs or other players. But DubiousIntent is a heckuva guy for helping here anyway.
