Have verified via running it that the new X2DownloadableContentInfo.OnLoadedSavedGameToStrategy works as advertised. It runs whenever loaded into the strategy, even if the DLC/Mod was already installed.

 

For tactical, looks like we still have to rely on UITacticalHUD screenlistener, though.

Advanced and Superior weapon upgrade drop rates changed

 

Advanced and superior Repeater drop rates were roughly halved relative to other items

No change to basic repeaters.

What is the point of putting any code in the new function, if it won't trigger from tactical? It seems like a half feature, and relying on it doesn't seem to solve any problem.

Has the bug with the tech level of Conventional Swords been fixed? They used to be tagged as Magnetic... Or was the Magnetic sword tagged as Conventional? Either way, has that been fixed?

Head meshes can now be loaded from the XComHeadContent ARCs:

	if( HeadContent.SkeletalMesh != Mesh.SkeletalMesh )
 	{
 		m_kHeadMeshComponent.SetSkeletalMesh(HeadContent.SkeletalMesh);
 		m_kHeadMeshComponent.SetParentAnimComponent(Mesh);
		AttachComponent(m_kHeadMeshComponent);
		Mesh.AppendSockets(m_kHeadMeshComponent.Sockets, true);
		ResetMaterials(m_kHeadMeshComponent);
		m_kHeadMeshComponent.SetHidden(false);
 	}

However, I'm having some odd behaviours that I cant still quite figure out... I think that while the head mesh is being loaded on the m_kHeadComponent, the Pawn Mesh is not being hidden?? which is causing the head mesh to be loaded twice (but in different meshcomponents). Also, using different meshes with their own morphtargets will, cause the game to crash when trying to swap heads. Ryan if you get to read this, it was the same issue I was having when loading bodyparts (arms, legs, torso) with morphs. It should work fine when swapping between parts which use the same mesh, but loading a different mesh with different vertex order/count/morphtargetset crashes the game.

 

 

 

TL;DR:

ppl can now swap head meshes without using silly mods to hide the Head mesh and without loading them as props...

 

EDIT: The parent shader for heads was also updated: Material'Materials_Update.HeadCustomizable_Scars_TC', and its causing really weird issues when using the "none" scar. FIXED: just point the 1x1 Normal Map inside the Materials_Update upk on the Scars_BLANK ARC Texture.

no

 

Really? I'd have thought that would be a dirt simple correction.
