[WotC] RW Realistic Grappling

In 1 collection by krumiro
Realistic War... or the "Mine Yours" Collection... ;)
25 items
Description
;My soldiers Grappling aren't instantaneously teleporting but realistically taking 1 Action of time to aim, shoot, fly, land and they aren't waiting 3 turns to reuse it (waiting for what? to rewind the cable? it seems already rewound to me), yours?

;I couldn't stand it... I simply couldn't continue my Campaign until I Modded these absurdities out of existence... ;)

;Donations: paypal.me/krumir0

;YOU CAN CHANGE TO YOUR DESIRED VALUE IN THE .INI FILE
GrapplingTakesOneActionPoint = true
GrapplingCoolDownTurns = 0 ; Default XCOM2 value is 3
;In order to preserve the difficulty balance originally intended by Firaxis the Malus of the 1 Action Point Cost must be compensated by reducing the CoolDown Time. Personally: No Cooldown feels not only realistic (waiting 3 Turns for what? rewinding the already rewound freaking cable?) but also an appropriate balance (It may take 1 damn Action Point but GOD it feels good to Grapple twice in one turn! Go Spidey! Go! ;) )

;ALL GRAPPLES!
;It also works for the type used by Private Moth (yes, "Moth", I always thought he looks like a moth in bad shape after hitting your car's windshield, doesn't he?...;) )


;CLASS OVERRIDES:
;Not a single one.


;INCOMPATIBYLITY LIST
;Please help me to update this list


DONATIONS
Are you so full of gratitude for this Mini-Mod that you will just explode if you don't offer me a beer?
Need me to add an option you like?
Want to help to keep this mod “surviving” XCom updates?
You’d like me to make it compatible with your favourite Mod?
Seen a bug and want to help me find the time to squash it?
XCom Modding is fun but doesn't pay the rent and free time is limited… Donations are NOT mandatory but if you want to "motivate" me to escalate this mod maintenance (or your suggested idea) higher on my free-time priority list… here is the Paypal link and I'll have a beer (or maybe lunch) in your honour. ;)

DETECT CLASS OVERRIDES CONFLICTS BETWEEN MODS
Simply make a quick Harddrive Search for “+ModClassOverrides=(BaseGameClass=“
The results will show all the XComEngine.ini files of Mods that make Overrides. Check if any of those files have the same Class name after the “=“ and kindly ask the Modders to try to avoid that override or cooperate with each other. When 2 mods override the same class the game gets HORRIBLY VERY SLOW and only 1 of the 2 Mods works (randomly).


BIRTH OF “REALISTIC WAR” COLLECTION
(ALSO KNOWN AS THE “MINE YOURS” COLLECTION ;) )
Long story short: One Megamod that rules them all… “Mutilated” into tiny little self-functioning Mini-mods ;)
Short story long: I always wanted to publish my millionaire Smartphone App super-idea but totally forgot how to program from my first University years. I tried to relearn with Youtube channels and online Tutorials but got bored to death after a week. One day, playing my favorite game ever (and the only one I have the luxury to have time to play) I asked the author of my favourite Mod to please apply a tiny little idea on his Mod for me. No answer… I got struck by the brilliant idea: relearn programming by making your only stress-release game more fun and the way I wished it to be!!! Modding was love at first sight. Not only I didn’t get bored relearning to program from zero, but I actually have became so enthusiast and obsessed by the constant intellectual challenge that it now keeps me literally hypnotised for hours, days, weeks, months… I now have 10 times more fun by reprogramming my only game than playing it! How crazy! Solving programming puzzles turned out to be for me much more fun than solving this strategy-game puzzles themselves! My first XCOM Modification starting from 0 took ages… literally weeks: to interpret the code of other Mods achieving a similar result and to understand what I needed to change (no need of reinventing the wheel, right?), to understand that it wasn’t enough to naively just “paste/edit” text inside someone else’s Mod files but that I also had to “rebuild the solution” with a “solution builder”, to discover Modbuddy, to find a way to run XCOM Development Kit on a Mac, to find a way to shrink it from 60GB to 2GB ‘cause I had only 8GB available (deleting the graphic/sound content), etc… But the gratification and earned experience was way worth it once finished. Then each next Modification, like a university exercise, once solved made me realise that I learned 1 or 2 new important tricks that allowed me to program the next one. An so on, modification after the next I completely changed XCom exactly the way I always wanted it with a SINGLE HUGE MEGAMOD that puts its hands everywhere in the game. Now, I can’t give you the Megamod because it has way too many modifications at once for another single person to have the chance to like them all (and God knows which other Mods it isn’t compatible with). Now I’m simply multitasking between making additional modifications (the hardest ones, now that I have the skill) and simultaneously “mutilating” the Megamod into tiny little self-functioning mods (dozens and dozens of them!!) to share with you guys… but mainly because the mutilation process is an additional superfun and challenging programming exercise (even making these stupid Mod Preview Images. Until yesterday I didn’t know how give a transparent background to pasted images) that pushes my skills every day one step closer to my future millionaire supersuccessful Smartphone App. Wish me luck! ;)

Loving this! Makes the Hunter way more deadly!

Banana: I think it already is.. He seemed to grapple once per turn, flank one soldier, then pistol shot 'em. No cooldown. Might be a Chosen AI mod retaining it as vanilla?

Could you update this to apply to the Hunter's Grapple, too? As of now it seems to still be a free action for him.

Goooooooooooooooood.

Although I like cheesy free-of-charge grapples every 3 turns I have to admit I've always thought it was kinda weird. "Oi, Shen! I want those Spider suits and I want them now!" :)

Thank you! :)

Just uploaded an Update for compatibility with War of the Chosen... ;)

In the meanwhile, the more specifically and with more detail you will describe to me the incompatibility symptoms which you are experiencing, the faster I will be able to identify the problem and fix it when this subject will have reached first place in my daily priorities-list. Thanks for your cooperation guys. :)

Free time is limited but if enough people "votes" for this Mini-Mod's compatibility fix, I might push it up in my daily free time priorities-list... ;)

Please update this for WoTC?
[WTS]DrewDawgofWar 29 Jul, 2017 @ 11:36am 
I will be giving this a shot. Thanks!
