Just some general updates and statements on this mod so people don't need to ask the same questions going forward:
There's an optional file that will change the color of the MaxTac blades back to the red of the standard Mantis Blades. Alternatively, if you use my Customizable Mantis Blades it'll override the MaxTac colors.
Not planning to make a standalone version at this time, this was just intended to be an update to the in-game item because I was disappointed that it wasn't an iconic weapon.
Is there a way to add the bonus to body attribute checks from Gorilla arms to these? Tried to look at the r6 files and figure it out myself, but its going straight over my head at the minute.
Yes, it should be possible, you'd need to you'd need to go looking through REDMod and find whatever the effect is that grants that bonus and then add it to the file for the mantis blades. Both versions of the mod use REDMod's formatting rather than .yaml (the more common method for modders) so that could explain why it was going over your head even if you've poked around under the hood with other mods before.
The REDMod version of this mod shows you roughly where you'd want to be looking in the file directory.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I was wanting to get these blades, though I missed the side encounter in the Jingui store to get them. Does this mod make the MaxTac blades available to purchase in gun stores/ripperdocs or does this just change the weapon texture?
There's another possible route to get them in Phantom Liberty, but this mod doesn't change how/when they're available. There's always CET codes, if nothing else.
Excellent mod, the bonuses are not original as they either come from a weapon mod or a iconic blade, but I feel that makes them more in-line with the game's balance.
Also, thanks for the cyberarm animation fixes suggestion d(⌒ー⌒)
TweakXL version is installed in the archive/pc/mod folder, yes. The REDMod version is installed in the mods folder in the main directory, and has to be enabled in the launcher.
It looks like you downloaded TweakXL but then downloaded the REDMod version, do you have REDMod set up on Steam? That's probably the source of the problem. You can either set up REDMod or download the TweakXL verison of the mod and use that, and that should fix it.
Not currently, I'm not familiar with the ArchiveXL modding format and I have other projects occupying my time at the moment. I might look into it in the future, but not any time soon at the very least.
edit: nvm, turns out that if you try installing it with Vortex, EVEN if you go into vortex's saved file of it and move the contents to the 2077 folder manually, it won't work. Install it manually and it works fine.
With fully upgraded legendary ++, my max tac mantis blades show the 20% option from reflexes attuned bonus but only show 88 on damage per hit? any idea why this could be?
