Description:

This was inspired by and based on [WOTC] Conventional Weapons. If you like this mod, please give the original author an upvote and check out their mod.

Changes the vanilla weapons to look like their legacy counterparts. So a Cannon will look like a Light Machine Gun, a Gauss Rifle like an Anti-Materiel Rifle, a Storm Gun like an Energy Sweeper, etc.

There’s an extensive config file so you can set the skins up however you like. For example, you can make all the weapons look like Conventional Legacy weapons regardless of tier, or a mix of vanilla and TLP content. It also includes settings for non-TLP content such as GREMLINs, Psi Amps and WotC faction weapons.

This is just a cosmetic mod. No stats were changed. No content was added. The config does include a section for upgrade slot counts but this is just for compatibility and has the standard values by default.

Thanks to Mr Nice for taking the time to explain some basic modding things and answer some questions.

History:
  • 16 Dec 2018 – Changed "0" setting to be more compatible with other mods. (Do nothing rather than set X2 vanilla skins.)
  • 15 Dec 2018 – Switched to OnPostTemplatesCreated event structure.

Known Issues:
  • Legacy weapons do not have attachment models or UI textures. You can change the attachment skins to use another weapons’ attachments for ease of use but it will look odd.

Compatibility/Overrides:

None! Just the X2DownloadableContentInfo class.

Usage:

To change which skins are used, you just have to modify the config file:

Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent2685001588279116ConfigXComVanillaSkins.ini
  • 1 – Conventional
  • 2 – Magnetic
  • 3 – Beam
  • 4 – Legacy Conventional
  • 5 – Legacy Laser
  • 6 – Legacy Plasma
  • 0 – Default

Obviously for weapons which don’t have Legacy variants, like WotC faction weapons or GREMLINs, using values above 3 will just behave like 0 or the default setting.

Example 1:
Set all assault rifles to look like the Legacy "Old-world Assault Rifle".

ASSAULTRIFLE_CV_SKIN=4 ASSAULTRIFLE_MG_SKIN=4 ASSAULTRIFLE_BM_SKIN=4

Example 2:
Set the shotgun to use the vanilla attachments so you can see the green UI icons.

SHOTGUN_CV_ATTSKIN=0 SHOTGUN_MG_ATTSKIN=0 SHOTGUN_BM_ATTSKIN=0

Example 3:
Set all weapons back to vanilla apperances (effectively disable the mod).

ASSAULTRIFLE_CV_SKIN=0 ASSAULTRIFLE_MG_SKIN=0 ASSAULTRIFLE_BM_SKIN=0 PISTOL_CV_SKIN=0 PISTOL_MG_SKIN=0 PISTOL_BM_SKIN=0 Etc.
