Description:
Overview

Copies ExtraDamage entries used for special ability damage values between weapons to fill in any missing entries.

The main use for this is adding various psionic ability damage values to Templar gauntlets and other psionic weapons that mods did not do that for. Also copies GREMLIN and SPARK BIT ability damages both ways.

This is also simultaneously a tool for mod makers to check what ability damage values are missing from weapons that should have them.

Also fixes damage preview for fully armor piercing abilities that do not have Pierce value set correctly in weapons’ ExtraDamages.
Community Highlander 1.27 fixes this now.

Configuration
<Steam>steamappsworkshopcontent2685002971495164ConfigXComZelfExtraDamagePatcher.ini

All changes are configurable. Can add more things to patch. Config options are highly versatile. Toggleable logging to help with configuration.

Compatibility

Safe to add or remove at any time. This is only modifying some numbers on ability and weapon templates and will not affect save games.

Default config preserves ExtraDamage done via vanilla config or other mods’ config.

Supported mods with XCOM weapons

Supported mods with enemy weapons

I had a list of enemy mods here but the description got too long so I took it out.

Companion mods
  • Psionics Ex Machina, and perk packs used for GEMs
  • GEM Implanted Gauntlets, the main reason for this mod as many GEM abilities simply did not have damage with gauntlets
  • Iridar’s SPARK Arsenal, as GREMLINs and BITs become interchangeable they should have support for each others’ ability damage values
  • Long War of the Chosen, adds damage values on ripjacks for Whiplash and rocket abilities for LW Gauntlet
  • Any other mod adding abilities that use damage tags but doesn’t handle all the possible weapons they can be used with

Notes

This is only a fallback and not a replacement for proper config! Damage balance may not be exactly what mod makers would do if the affected weapons were properly configured.

Feel free to mention any mods I might have missed. Potential balance tweaking suggestions also welcome.
