Is there any config that makes these buildable one at a time? Using CI and would fit in better that way

@Sneezy Sorry for the super late reply. Just saw this, I did get it working but to tell the truth I'm not sure how. I am no longer using AML since the new launcher update. maybe that has something to do with it.

@pipiship by any chance, were you able to fix that issue? I can't seem to make this mod works back to WOTC after trying out LWOTC

Deleted this mod for a LWOTC play through as it’s not needed there. Now back to the base game of WOTC I subscribed again but it no longer works in game. Any suggestions? Using AML.

In the LWOTC mod does anyone know where the configuration for the platings are? I am trying to revert the changes to make it compatible with tesla rages armor upgrades mod.

@MrViciao I know this comment is five years old, but thank you so much!

For anyone curious, to use these in vest slots added by mods that add vest slots, change the item type from ‘plating’ to ‘defense’ (not ‘vest’ like I tried at first).

Love the mod, but I’d love an option to make it so that the ceramic vest is not available in infinite quantities to all soldiers – but rather, has to be purchased.

@Quadsons Use Alternative Mod Launcher.

Hey so i accidentally unsubscribed from the mod and updated my mod manager and turns out i needed it so i subbed back and now it wont show in my mod manger when i update can someone help me please

Yes. Long War 2.

is there a vanilla version?

Just finished a campaign with about 280 mods, this one included, and had no major issues! Thanks for putting this up, these were incredibly useful.

is there a way to make plating buildable and not infinite?

Is this thread dead?
I want to add mobility, fortress, mind-shield, aim, and shields to this. Anyone know how to do that?
Basically, I want to make it the equivalent of "cheat vest" for normal xcom2

any way to add Mobility to the stats granted by the various platings?

Yes, it does. Check it out, it's still on the workshop.

Whoah, looks overpowered. Does the LW mod present more difficult or numerous enemies? Just curious.

Is there any way to add regen for this shields?

@robbiestrayer
Leave text in square brackets, like the below, as is.
[LW2WOTC_CeramicPlating X2EquipmentTemplate]

Change text like this:
FriendlyName="Ceramic Plating"
to
FriendlyName="Kevlar Plating"

Yeah, that very well may be the case. I have very little experience messing with these things.

@Dragon32
That's fine. You're probably doing it wrong.

Yeah, that didn't work. It still says Ceramic instead of Kevlar for the starting tier. Thanks for trying though.

@robbiestrayer
If you want to change the names displayed in-game then change the localisation files (usually XComGame.int for English)

If I want to change the name of the vests to: Kevlar, Ceramic, Alloy, and Elerium; all I have to do is change the names in the .ini?

I really like this mod because it just makes the game a little more bearable. It got lame when enemies could get mega lucky and either kill or severely wound a good soldier. These ablative armor vests make it a little more difficult for them to get lucky.

Added an initial German translation as discussion topic above. It was compiled from original source of LW2 by Pavonis Interactive.

A shitty workaround involves changing cost/time to build them for free, but that still requires autopsies and the proving ground.

@Stephen trying to figure that out also, guess you could just make them free in the .ini file to make them free as a workaround

How to make the tier 1,2,3 be an unlimited improvement of the squad, and not the only copy (exactly like Ceramic Plating)?

Hey, is there any way to make the ceramic plating a build-per-unit item, available from the start like the flashbang or medkit?

@fededyb
You need to find your workshop folder in steam, find whatever drive you have it on then follow the path Steam > steamapps > workshop > content > 268500 (I think that's the game's ID?) > 1318532978 > Config > XComWOTC_LW2_Plating.ini to adjust settings, personal preference I adjusted is I bumped up the plating of each tier to give some sense of progression, like 3 - 6 - 9 - 12 for example, Enjoy.

HI I cannot find where is the configurable file for this, can some help? XComWOTC_LW2_Plating.in is nowhere to be found

I changed ITEM_CATEGORY to "vests", but in my running campaign this did not make a difference. Does it need a new game to take effect?

could I config it so that alloy and ceramic can be used at the same time?\

Thereis no foundry in wotc so how does this work in worc? Guerilla tacs? Proving ground?

Is there a way I can either deactivate the ceramic plating or make it so I have to have an Advent Officer autopsy first?

Ahh, I see. Thank you very much.

@CaptainKampfkeks:
XCOM 2's Workshop folder is 268500 and then this mod's folder is the same ID number as is in this page's URL (id=xxxx)

Can somebody point me in the direction of the mod folder? I want to change the supply cost

For this mod to work with the vest slot mod, set 'ITEM_CATEGORY=defense' in the ini file

@Astral Descend
That's not a bug.

Bug report: does not absorb fall damage

Yes, that is corrrect.

So it does work like the lw2? where you can have one of each on one person?

Not two vests, but one vest and one plating.

So will this work just like lw2 where you can have two vesf on a person?

great work though

need a vanilla version please, I do not have wotc.

@p6kocka
Any luck with getting it to work with the vest slot mod?
I tried setting 'ITEM_CATEGORY=vest' in the ini file but that didn't seem to do anything

@Favid
Does somebody know how to make it work with Vest slot mod?
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1293714688
It won´t recognize tis platings as vests.
