Inventory Slot Weight Toggler for LWOTC
I re-wrote basically this entire mod. Now it actually DOES something.
This mod is pretty small and basic in what it does, so maybe I can keep the description brief this time. Inventory Slot Weight Toggler will prevent the SmallItemWeight ability used by Long War of the Chosen from applying to any items in the Ammo Slot, Grenade Slot, Primary Weapon Slot, Secondary Weapon Slot, Spark Grenade Slot (used by Spark Arsenal), Auxiliary Slot (ditto), or Vest Slot (used by the Vest Slot mod). Each of those 7 can be toggled off, or back on again, in this mod’s XComSlotOptions.ini. All of them are set to TRUE by default. This feature is implemented by an ability, "IgnoreSlotWeight", which is applied to all "Soldier" character templates using OPTC.
By default, the ability’s icon is not visible in tactical, but the correct Mobility value will be. The Mobility value you see in the armory does NOT take this mod into consideration, do not be fooled by it. Making the correct Mobility value show in the armory is not something that is going to be possible at this time.
In addition to making things easier on your Grenadiers, Combat Engineers and Infantry, this will also allow you to use pistols in the Primary (or Secondary) slot without suffering the mobility penalty, assuming you have a mod that lets you do so, such as either version of Primary Secondaries. One could theoretically even add weight to other weapons that would fit in as primary slot, secondary slot OR pistol slot choices (Autopistols or Sawed-Off Shotguns perhaps), and they would only apply the weight penalty when in the pistol slot.
Long War of the Chosen is the only requirement. Don’t ask me about a version for regular WOTC, as there would be no point (SmallItemWeight is a LW2/LWOTC only thing).
– Favid for making the Extended Perk Pack and more specifically the Strong Back ability, which I used to re-write this mod.
– RustyDios for helping me make the code more efficient and helping me get rid of the ability icon in tactical.
– Clibanarius for suggesting the idea.
