Long War mod discussion

Hey Johnny + Amineri

 

I saw your mod page after all this time.

 

My head exploded from the epicness, I thought I could try bringing Merciless back again for XCOM 2 but seriously against the monolith that is Long War, what'd be the point.

Hey Yzax, good seeing you on here again and thanks for your kind words. While we're chatting about it, we certainly don't have any concrete plans for modding XCOM2, and I think the open tools will certainly allow for a far more diverse ecology than we've got now, so don't get discouraged! In the long run the game and the playerbase benefits from a variety of options.

Oddly enough, I am having a weird issue here, one that I can't seem to figure out.

 

I had been playing Long War for a few hours now, enough time to get me into the month of March. I logged out, went and did soem stuff around the house, bought some groceries, came back, fired up Xcom, and now the Long War mod seems to have been "removed"

 

When I say removed, I dont' mean to imply that the mod was uninstalled. It is actually still there, I can see all of the files and everything, but when I kick off Save 4, my last save, all of the Long War options are gone, it is the normal vanilla game.

 

Starting a new game from scratch, I noticed the "Long War" button that had replaced the Single player button, is now gone as well and it just says "Single player"

 

Any thoughts?

Sounds like you "reverted" because Steam thinks your game is "corrupted" (which is how it treats any mod). See the wiki article "Steam and mods" on how to prevent this.

I have pretty recently started playing Long War, and so far it has been absolutly awesome. So thank you for that! :D

 

Anyway, not sure if this is where to ask this really, since I have not used the forum much... but here goes.

 

The only problem I have run into with Long War is the Camera Panning. And specificly the pitch controls in it is causing me problems. Is pitch the name? The up and down tilting of the camera.

 

In any case, due to the current settings it feels really awkward for me to use, since I am used to looking down when pulling back the mouse, and looking up when moving the mouse forward. At times, when I use it, it violently thrashes around from up to down and vice versa when my fingers realize I am pulling in the wrong direction.

 

So is there a somewhat easy way to change this (as easy as it is to change the starting color and helmets for your soldiers), to Invert the pitch for camera controlls, and the yaw as well (if I feel like trying the invert of that one to)?

 

Thanks on beforehand. :)

What you want is the mod "XCOM Camera Tweaks", by wghost81. She also wrote the UPK Utils/PatcherGUI tools, which are linked on that download page.

While not exactly the same, LW has pitch shortcuts in it now. the F-keys set the pitch. I forget if it starts at F1 or not, but I usually find I'm using F7 for an isometric view.

Two newbie suggestions: Incinerator Module should increase panic chance, (can't get any aliens to panic recently, guess they researched some sort of panic upgrade), The Thumper should enable kinetic strike to be used twice if you have close encounters perk

Hey I'm recently started playing long war and I was wondering how do i mod faster research times? It's been 2 months and I've only completed 2 researches. I believe it would be under lab multipliers?
