I can't think of one.

random thought that probably won't work. Is there an easy way (i.e. ini files only) to allow for the option to do a regular shot even if one has marksman stock equipped?

Alas. Thanks for looking into it.

Looking over it, you might be right that Stabilized Fire doesn't trigger Coldblooded, its code specifically mentions StandardFire and SniperStandardFire as the two abilties that can trigger it.

Not something you can fix via ini and i've uninstalled my SDK years ago, so i am afraid this might just have to stay in the mod as a bug/oversight.

I think there is a bug with the perk "cold blooded". It's using up the action of my grenadier, even though his only action is taking a standard shot against an enemy that is already poisoned. Two possible things that could be happening
1) the enemy was poisoned earlier in that same turn by a different unit. Cold blooded is still supposed to work in this scenario, right?
2) The grenadier is using a cannon with a markman's scope, so technically the first action of my grenadier is "stabilize and fire". Maybe this makes it not count as a "standard shot" for cold blooded? Unfortunately, if you have a markman's scope, there seems to be no option to take a shot without the scope.

Also, thanks for the amazing mod, the enemy variety especially makes the game so much more fun.

Watch them run in this pack does seem to be doing an ammo check on grenades which generally causes it to not activate. Favid's Extended Perk Pack works correctly.

The ability from this perk pack can be used instead of the ABB one. In the XComClassData.ini for the saboteur, change ABB_WatchThemRun to F_WatchThemRun. Probably want to go into the XComExtendedPerkPack.ini and change all the _AWC to false

No troubles, thanks for responding. I just retrained the soldier and will avoid the skill in future. There are plenty of others to make up for it.

Oof... It's been years since i touched this mod, so i couldn't really say. I don't believe there are any (major) known bugs left in the mod. It's of course entirely possible that you found one that didn't register before, but i would think that this bug would have been noticed if it's a general issue with the perk - it's kind of hard to miss. I definitely remember using the perk with a Cannon and it working when i was still playing.

Honestly not sure what could cause the problem either. It's a self-contained skill that shouldn't have any ways to conflict with another mod.

Hello, the Watch Them Run perk doesn't seem to work at all. I have tried it on a Saboteur with both a cannon and a shotgun equipped. In both cases, I have tried throwing a grenade on the first turn without moving and the unit will not enter overwatch, but I'd also expect that with the shotgun equipped, I should be able to move once and then throw a grenade and still enter overwatch. Is this a known bug?

I am using all of your A Better Advent mods plus a few UI QoL mods, but nothing that I would expect to impact perks.

From the description:

PREREQUISITES

[...]

Prerequisite is also the will to drop most other mods, as ABB is not exactly compatibiliy-friendly.
I will put this in simple terms: Do not use other class or item mods with ABB or you will likely mess up your game and are on your own.

Just as a warning, it seems like there might be a weird interaction between this and the trainable skirmishers mod, or skirmishers in general. I put the WOTC zero-in perk on my human skirmisher (bonus aim when retargeting the same enemy) and the modded zone-in perk (gives +20 aim on next shot if you miss). The Zero-In perk doesn't show up in tactical for my skirmisher, AND on subsequent shot, even when i landed the first hit, i had a -20 aim on the subsequent shot!

Otherwise I've continued on with the mod and for the most part it's really interesting and engaging shakeup of the normal game. i do think maybe the knockout ability for infantry is too strong.

I only noticed one other incident as i described below but it destroyed cover that wasn't actually cover anyway (roof rails that gave no defense)

FYI I've turned off all enemy mods, weapons, etc. I do have MOCX, extract corpses, nonlethal combat, maps by vozati, additional mission types redux, highgroud gives defense-- whatever else I can think of that has any chance of messing with things

I did notice some odd behavior with More Mission Types mod, in which it appeared that only certain classes were able to trigger or interact with mission objectives, so I disabled that mod. Might take off Maps by Vozati next.

It's happened twice now. Possible I never noticed it before in vanilla XCOM and this is just the first time my soldiers were ever killed by it. But I've been using fairly hard difficulty mods so I feel as though it should have come up before.

So far both instances it was a sniper rifle, shooting down at a target. The first time, the sniper destroyed her cover and the cover next to her, exposing herself and her bondmate, and they were both killed on the enemy turn.

Never heard of this issue before, tbh. That sounds more like a vanilla issue to me than something caused by the mod. Lines of sight are notoriously made up in this game.

cool ideas in this mod but there's one thing that is a huge problem; there is a environment destruction mechanic built into the weapons, and this has resulted in my soldiers DESTROYING THEIR OWN COVER when they fire (the particular example i'm talking about was from a sniper rifle). I'm debating whether I want to continue or not because this is an awful downside to have to play with.

Thanks for posting the solution! Hopefully that helps someone else down the line :)

Got it!

Found a post where someone had the same issue and discovered it was the older "Mod Everything" conflicting with "WOTC Mod Everything Reloaded". Disabling Mod Everything fixed the attachments. Thanks for getting back to me anyhow, and happy holidays!

Followed the suggestions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/xcom2mods/comments/ludogi/cant_use_weapon_attachments_on_any_guns/

Wow, thank you for getting back so quickly!

Yeah, I can see the limited slots for snipers/cannons, but I am trying to select open slots on assaults and shotguns and it just beeps at me. I just upgraded both to mag and still the same issue. Just ran through my mods and I can't see anything specific to weapons or attachments that might conflict here. Even checked to see if the attachments I had in inventory were somehow glitched by buying different black market ones, and nothing. Any thoughts?

The mod does change the number on attachment slots per weapon type. Specifically, sniper rifles and cannons only gain attachments once you get them to mag tier because they have so many bonuses already built in.

Try if you can put attachments into assault rifles or shotties, that should tell you if it works.

Has anyone had issues with not being able to use attachments at all? I have many sitting in my inventory and lots of components, but when I click on a space to add a weapon attachment it just beeps at me. This is the only weapon-related mod I use and I cannot use attachments on any weapons :C

Ah, well that explains it.

The research tree is set in code, not in inis. You can't change it without making and compiling an actual mod in the SDK.

How do I remove the tier 2 and 3 component research? I tried editing the files and removing every mention of Manufacture_UC2 and Manufacture_UC3 but it still stays on my list, just with a blank name and details, but still stuck there. I don't like them cluttering my research list

No.

Oh, and if I used mocx mod, would mocx operatives that captured apply the class overhaul ?

Thanks for the relevant quote. My stance on this is simple: If you do want to use other class mods or item overhauls, then don't use ABB.

To quote the description and DerBK :
Prerequisite is also the will to drop most other mods, as ABB is not exactly compatibiliy-friendly.
I will put this in simple terms: Do not use other class or item mods with ABB or you will likely mess up your game and are on your own.

I would imagine that faction classes would work. Other classes may work but you would likely experience some jank, especially since the primary weapons have been reworked and other classes aren't designed around say the shotgun reload only being single shot.

This mod has LW secondaries, it does not have the primaries.

Does this compatible with other classes overhaul ?
I been using Alpha's classes pack and Faction heroes overhaul for a while.
Also does this mods contain some LW weapons? So I don't need that if I have this?

Yes, this mod needs the TLE. That will be the reason for the missing weapon models.

I just realised that I dont have wotc tactical legacy pack dlc, could that be why? I tried reinstalling but it didnt fix it.

No idea what could be wrong. All the weapon visuals are packaged into the mod, so i wouldn't expect a mod conflict either. Maybe just try reinstalling the mod in case something got screwed up there?

the weapon model for laser weapons are missing, how do i fix it?

Alright, thanks for letting me know.

Some of them are used in the mod as visualizations for the new tech levels.

The others are disabled. That's not something that you can change per ini.

You might be able to add them to your inventory via console, but they'd not use ABB mechanics, so that's not recommended either.

Is there a way to make this mod work with the Tactical Legacy Pack weapons?

I see, no worries! I haven't gotten very far at all with your classes so I probaly shouldn't have mentioned that sorry. Love the mod so far

No, not at all. The Combat Knife and the Sword are very different and so are their ability pools and the weapons they can carry. There is barely any overlap between the two except for them both being able to use shotguns. Of course with the randomised perk trees you can always roll up soldiers from different classes that overlap in the crossclass parts and thus get to similar (in this case likely shotgun focused) builds for them. But since soldiers in ABB are even somewhat variable within their class, i don't think you can really say that two classes are similar as a whole.

Aren't the Agent and Ranger class a bit too similar?

Thanks, while not the most ideal way of doing it mid game, it'll do

You want to move soldiers from one class into another? I am not sure that base XCOM supports that via console command. There are however mods for that which you can try. I am not familiar with those myself, never used such a thing, but searching for "change class" in the workshop gives a couple results. For example https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2038699912 which looks promising and worth a try?

Hey! I like the mod tons but I accidently started a game with this and the LW2 classes mod which to me not only clutters a lot but some classes are too similar and makes it well more cluttery. So I was thinking to change the LW2 class soldiers to a similar class of yours but I would need the console commands for this? Would appreciate if you could give me a hand here

Oh, and don't use PGO or Prototype Armory with ABB.
ABB doesn't play nice with other mods that change classes or the research tree.
Let me refer to the Prerequisite section in the description:

"I will put this in simple terms: Do not use other class or item mods with ABB or you will likely mess up your game and are on your own."

This is the one: https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=663828094

Where is this requirement “Rifle Suppression fix” by bountygiver? I am given to believe its a standalone mod. No PGO or Prototype Armory requirement ?
Thanks in advance

I highly doubt that.

It's a vanilla perk.

[Bug report] The "steady hand" perk of sniper seems to do the opposite: it gives buff if and only if the unit moves last turn.

Oh, there is a section about compatibility, under "prerequisites":

I quote:

Prerequisite is also the will to drop most other mods, as ABB is not exactly compatibiliy-friendly.
I will put this in simple terms: Do not use other class or item mods with ABB or you will likely mess up your game and are on your own.

This should also answer your question about RPGO :)

I assume this is incompatible with RPGO?

Might be worth adding a section regarding compatibility.

@DerBK Might be interested to know: I have changed the language of the game itself from German to English. For the first time now, after research of modular weapons, a blue info text appeared. Also Repeater got renamed as Compensator and now correctly displayed its "+1 crit damage* property. It seems, the language does have some influence as in German it was still called a repeater "Chance of +% to execute" and not displaying any sort of crit damage boost
