Description:

Musashi’s Ballistic Shields refreshed with cooked assets and some other tweaks:

— Shrunk T2 + T3 Shield textures that didn’t need to be 2k res, further reducing size.
— Removed unused UI + a lingering SPARK copy model for even more size reduction.
— Fixed some UI having sRGB enabled, making them darker than usual in-game.
— Shields now build from their own schematics to be more compatible with specific mods.
— More classes are allowed to equip shields out-of-the-box.
— Hero Ballistic Shields, allowing Faction Heroes to equip shields, has been implemented.
— The SO Bridge Mod has been implemented.

The DLC Name of the mod is unchanged from the original as are most of the internals, only difference being the new schematics the shields use. Shouldn’t affect much, in theory, so it SHOULD be safe to switch out the original for this one.

The new schematics mimic Vanilla Sword costs + requirements, both of which can be adjusted in XComShields.ini.

The changes from Musashi’s Mods Fixes are NOT implemented, so you should still use that if you take this.

Primary Secondaries allows you to use the Shields with Melees & Pistols, but isn’t required for the mod itself to work.

If there’s any classes out there you think should be allowed to equip shields, tell me and i’ll add it to the XComClassData.ini.

Due to being cooked, you can’t open the content .UPKs with the SDK. However, i have the raw project files available for download here:

— MediaFire[www.mediafire.com]

Do note, you’ll have to do some re-configuring to the project if you also want to compile it on your end, as the project is set up to specifically compile on a Linux system using VSCode, unless you somehow also use a set up like this.
