Think its technically possible, need to replace base inventory textures for old one and insert in patch0.000

[lowenz]

Question: is it possible to resize every item icons to avoid any overlap with cell perimeter?
I think they changed it to a square-cell based one 'cause of that.

Only corners overlap its noting about image size but transparent icon image corners.
Current beta hexagonal cell grid looks ugly, unfinished and eye hurting for me imo

[lowenz]

Yes, it's unfinished and rough but the idea is so fitting (think about Hive and other hexagonal-themed references in the game).
It's a pity they decided to change it for a "classic" inventory.

I disagree with the 10mm pistol nerf. It's not really overpowered statwise - it's overly useful due to the way the game favors stealth.

Better to buff some of the other weapons like the SMG and CR, imo. Otherwise, we should be talking about nerfing the Stun Gun and Traq rifle, which are arguably even stronger than the silenced pistol.


EDIT: Sorry, I thought for some reason you were petitioning EM to make a patch..

10mm STILL useful due to accessible and free at beginning of the game armor penetration mod. At least player can use silenced sniper, silenced smg and silenced combat rifle, lot of choices, but no "i win" weapon.

Only if they got the pre-order from wherever. My pre-order from GameStop didn't include the silenced sniper rifle, and the standard version (no pre-order bonus') doesn't have it either.

You forgot about arbalest, and tranq rifle. Ah yes for close combat - takedown or tazer.
Well i agree with your point - developers ruin the game, they just implement only 10mm in it

Any way to increase scope size? It looks awful with my FoV of 100.

I doubt it. Scope looks awful for me too

[USER47]

Nice mod. Could you make some more detailed description of changes? For example what does the nerfing of pistol mean?

edit: Nevermind, I just found detailed changelog in the archive. Some changes looks little bit radical though, like changes of weapon stats or stacking of rockets. Some slight changes like stacking granades and mine templates in combination with slight increase of AR and SMG ammo stack would be enough imho.

Request: the SAME (IMHO it's perfect) mod for The Missing Link
Thanks in advance!

autowin button = takedowns

Up!
Is it necessary a patch file to mod TML as made for the main game?

- increase inventory size but keep game balance (no 99999 stack here)
-nerf sligtly 10mm pistol due its overpower

1. Not being able to carry every weapon all at once is part of the balance.
2. The pistol is not overpowered. The armor piercing upgrade is.
3. The AR and SMG definitely needs more firepower, and more recoil. They feel like bb guns.

[lowenz]

Inventory change is only for "strange" choices by delevopers (mega-jar, ecc.)

So I think it's pretty balanced.

Ahh. okay. That explains a lot.

Random thought; what if all the expendables took up one space and couldn't stack? Would make for an interesting "rebalance", IMO. Just a thought...
