Making armor have two item slots

I tried changing the small items from 1 to 2 and it's not working.

The exe file calls home and pulls the info from there, you have to stop it from do this. I use Zome alarm, I go into program control and look for the exe and tell it to deny access to internet. though exver time you change that file you may have to load game and then log back out and tell it to deny again. I dont have to re do this unless I mofify exe.

there is another way posted around here that mods some files, but I dont know what that does to other things so I left it alone.

You can edit your hosts file to stop the game (ridiculously) dialing home to Firaxis to prevent mods working. There's a few topics here to search for that tell you what to edit it to (and how, if you've never done it before). I'm almost certain that's the issue here, as changing item slots was the first thing I modded in the game! :)

It doesn't have access to the internet. I blocked it with my firewall.

You need to edit the exe file itself, not the ini.

Find [XComGame.XGTacticalGameCore], extract until BlasterBombSpeed=500.0f

Save as .txt, edit, patch with Modpatcher.

Modpatcher solved it.

basically, editing the .INI text file itself won't actually make any changes. you have to open the .EXE file and edit values there.
