I think I can do it with this team- Seems reasonable. I'm a huge fan of support grenadiers though, I'd never leave mine at home :) And a grenadier with an incendiary grenade is an extremely reliable way to deal with the general. Yeah, but my surviving grenadiers are all pretty low level at the mome...

this is better

Isn't that identical to predator armor though? So why ever use predator armor.

Pretty sure the stuff in the /src/ folder is source code, and needs to be compiled. Are you using the sdk at all?

Maybe a tutorial would be useful? Note the part where he creates a clone version of stealth(conceal).

Neat, all I found while digging was references to the template HeavyPlatedArmor, and aforementioned build/research bits in the overhaul ini. Ok so the relevant bits are lines 615-617 in XComGameCore.ini in the Long war 2\LW_Overhaul\Config folder. HEAVY_PLATED_HEALTH_BONUS=2 HEAVY_PLATED_MITIGATION_...

I was going to say it's probably trivial, but looks like it's not, since I can't find it anywhere, the overhaul config file has data for research and build costs and what could be bonus inventory slots, but I can't find the health anywhere.

Wow, sometimes i wonder if we all play the same game. The first region i contacted in mars was 6 rebels and i tried putting them all on Recruit with a soldier adviser. In april i had 7 rebels all on recruit in that same region and triggered a recruitment raid where i lost one (back to 6 so no progr...

You have to complete a mission with "find a lead" as a reward. (not all of them unlock liberation missions, only some). Then, if the lead led to the liberation missions, every mission after that that is labeled with "liberation" somewhere in the description must eventually be co...

That said, I do like the idea of having certain early game items. Having an item that grant slugshot (for example) would expand builds for things like shotgun armed-but-not-assault classes. I think that's a good idea. Especially if it was available day one. Though that said, it might screw with ass...

Wraith cannon worked fine in vanilla. I did hack a sectopod on a final mission (several +10 permanent hack bonuses over the campaign makes it easy), and fired wraith cannon at the aliens quite well. And it did work correctly at all stages. What you mean with "serveral +10 permanent bonus"...

You can also find leads in: rescue VIP(scientist/engineer/soldier only, not resistance personel/rookies), and kidnapping dark VIPs. I'm not entirely sure if the rescues with lead are liberation chain exclusive, or if they also happen outside of the chain. *spoiler* Hack hidden resistance computer mi...

Okay, i seem to remember that if a soldier got poisoned there was something they could do or not do to avoid getting continually poisoned. I just thought I laid a trap for Sidewinders and boy was i wrong... lost three guys before i knew what hit me. Is there anything, aside from using a specialist ...

Deadeye is the perk you mean. Deadshot is the 10% crit chance passive. Ah, you're right. Always mix those two up. Reminds me that I intended to see if Deadeye still had a vanilla bug regarding Run & Gun. It requires you to have two actions in order to use it, but if you use one action and then ...

My favorite overwatch builds depend on AWC jackpot. Sharpshooters with rapid reaction(and preferably cool under pressure), and gunners with rapid reaction(picking cool under pressure from their own tree), ever vigilant on top is gravy for the gunner. Killzone sharpshooters are also very nice, especi...

Put -allowconsole in the program launch string. Press tilde(~) ingame to open it. Not sure about the command you're looking for though, there's a long war 2 console command list in the Long war 201 section, here: http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=23708 Sidenote: have ...

The distress signal is only supposed to start after you've been revealed, however on my latest UFO mission there was an ADVENT turret within sightrange, which started the countdown immediately upon mission start, without revealing me(I wasn't in its detection radius, just in sight range). Possibly s...

I'll remember to next time, but I've had it right out in the open.

Anyone else remember the incendiary rockets from the original XCOM(aka UFO: Enemy Unknown, 1994)? :) I'd love to replace the concussion rocket with an incendiary one... keep the smoke cloud(caused by the fire), but set everything on fire instead of disorient/stun. Powerful? You betcha, but it's a pe...

But the more I think about it, the more I want to go fiddle with their tree a bit. There's some choices that I don't particularly like any of the options for some builds(particularly at corpral and staff sergeant ranks). I did some judicial restructuring of the Ranger perk tree, ended up with the f...

Balor wrote:What PCS do you like to run on your rangers?

I mix a bit. Generally perception, combat awareness or speed, but I might swap over my overwatch rangers to using fire control PCS later on, so they won't waste shots on lightning reflex chryssalids and the like.

Walk fire - locked on - cool under pressure - grazing fire - ever vigilant - rapid reaction - rupture That's my standard set, though I could see myself building a couple of crit rangers: Close and personal - locked on - aggression - executioner - bring em on - rapid fire - combat conditioning But th...

Someone noted that the surest way to hit the enemy is to aim at your feet. Personally I much prefer editing out the scatter in the ini, which wasn't that hard. And technicals still feel underpowered, not OP.

I had a soldier behind a pillar in the prison cell area get counted as flanked by enemies on the other side of his cover, several squares away (yellow full cover symbol, but nobody in position to flank). As a sidenote: I've had this happen to my enemies quite a few times too, giving me flank shots w...

Quite frequently when I throw evac flares, some of the evac evac squares don't work, even when the flare is on open ground with no walls/dividers of any kind, I often have 1-3 squares which are bugged. It only happens with player placed evac zones, pregenerated evac zones work fine. I suspect it's a...

Since we are talking console, is there a command to "teleport" a selected unit to another tile? Just had the "prisoner stuck on the toilet" bug in my latest jailbreak :( EDIT. Nevermind, just found it in this thread , it was TTC I had one stuck on a bed and blew up the bed, bein...

You'll find that if you learn it from the AWC, it won't let you learn it from the regular tree. On the upside it will let you pick something else, and not bug out and deny you a pick like it did in the first XCom/Long War.
