I've swapped the Arm's and Leg's to be bAnyArmor so that now they can be on any Spark and MEC Trooper armor instead of just the Vanilla armor types
so the Plated and Powered versions got deleted but you can still find them ^^

they are now available on the Spark Ruler armor, A Requiem For Man: The Requiem Armory's Stainless Steel Chassis, and Meld Plugin: MEC Suits

In the AML app it's noted that this is a duplicate of the other assault mec, would it be ok if you can change the ID so their not conflicting? ^^;;

I like that this is cooked but I doesn't have everything like the first arms part with the small-ish shoulder plate (showed in the original comedic mod) instead of the base advent mec shoulder

Great work. Disappointed by the template names, but definitely great for those not using the originals.

These cooked, feature-enhanched remakes you've been putting out are great work, community valuable and highly appreciated. Thank you for your continued efforts and amusing yet thorough mod descriptions.

Awesome, I just wish the template names were the same so they could be used interchangeably.

(and by 'at some point' i mean 'right now')
Max  [author] 10 Aug, 2023 @ 4:54pm 
At some point, yeah. Only reason i didn't was because, as i wrote in the description, i didn't know the original existed so i built this off the enemy mod.

@Max there are other arms included in the original pack by Claus, are you planning to port them over to this one as well?

Thanks as usual, Max. I love your mods and thank you for blessing this community with them!

Very nice to see a smaller version of this, especially with the features included. Great work.

Also, because Steam has a character limit and no edit feature, lemme give you a quick example because i have nothing better to do:

Jetstream Sam's sword from his squadmate mod is script-based, and there's 3 templates in it's X2Item file, one for each tier. It's 164 lines of code total.

My Warframe Ghost Templates pack has 35 weapons in it, and 95% of the "code" is located inside the XComTemplateEditor file.

387 lines total, and that's even with un-optimal spacing and lots of comment lines to mark weapon blocks and categories. If i made that pack with Unreal Script, well, i wouldn't be surprised if that pack had a lot fewer weapons in it.

Maybe because it's a good mod that heavily streamlines the process of setting up cosmetic weapon skins?

It circumvents needing to use unreal script files to set them up, which means you can install a ghost template weapon at any point during a campaign and the weapons should always show up.

If you inserted them with an unreal script, the game doesn't automatically put those items in the player's inventory if you're mid-campaign, so you'd need to start over to access them.

It also avoids cluttering player inventory with a bunch of weapons that all have identical stats between each other.

And finally, it's just easier (for me at least) to look at two little config .ini files that control everything than to have an X2Item file with three weapon templates in them, one for each tier of weapon. A few lines in an .ini file vs. an entire script file to manage, kind of annoying for just some cosmetic reskins.

Why does everything need the Template Master these days?
