I love LCS, but the gameplay is starting to get a little stale  .  Are there any good game changing mods out there, and if so, can any of you please place a link, or something?  I hope this sort of thread hasn't been posted already, but it's just annoying to search the forums, and I'm hoping that this will help others find good mods as well

[Kay12]

There are a few mods somewhere in the forums, but I've got good news for you - LCS is bloody easy to modify these days, so if want to, you can do it yourself and create just the perfect mod for yourself!

Not all aspects can be changed by tweaking XML, but you should be able to introduce new items, weapons, armor and site maps.

For more advanced mods that include bigger changes, there are two I can remember. Stalinist crime squad mod, which is probably quite outdated, and if I recall correctly, someone created a "mod" that let the player play as CCS (quotes because I think it was a module for T-Engine, not a modification of LCS).

[NRDL]

Thanks for the tip.

[Kay12]

Oh yeah, the XML files are in the /art directory. I can't believe I forgot to mention *how* to mod. The rest of the instructions should be in the files!

[Aerogen]

Wow ! I aways throught that you needed some programming skills in order to modify LCS, but that one really came as a good surprise. 

[Kay12]

It used to be true not too long ago. I think Jon & the guys started working on the XML system last summer, but because of my military service and various other issues in real life I didn't play much and can't recall when exactly the XML modding was first introduced. It's a really good system though. Maybe at some point the XML will be expanded, with issues, characters etc turned into XML. However, I'm very pleased with the current system.

I actually didn't do any of the XML work. As I recall, you (Kay12) asked for it and offered to help, and I endorsed the idea but did nothing to make it happen. It was Carlos Gustavos who shrugged his herculean shoulders, announced he'd been thinking about the same thing, and stepped forward to make it happen by laboring in the forges of greatness for months, pouring the sweat of giants into the game. Let us take a moment to remove our hats and salute our fallen hero.

[Kay12]

Yeah, I offered the idea but thanks to the aforementioned military service and my lack of experience working with XML, I couldn't actually do a thing.

The fact that I didn't participate in the coding only serves to amplify my gratitude towards Carlos Gustavos for such a tremendous effort!

For any future XML stuff, I'll see what I can do. I'm getting my feet wet fixing bugs and such minor stuff, and working on the car chases and the Epic Conservative film studio.

EDIT: It appears blomkvist has also been active on the XML front, thanks to them as well!

Heheh, blomkvist is Carlos Gustavos. Which is very confusing, even for me, and I have the paper trail. I only remember it because I looked it up in my email archive earlier today before making my post above.

[Kay12]

You're so right... well, he does deserve a twofold presentation of gratitude.

I have been playing around with this XML thing and I managed to make a new vehicle, an armor and 3 weapons  . I wanted to share it with you:

Weapons:

*SPAS-12 Semi-Automatic Shotgun (Uses same ammo as the other shotgun, I increased the clip size to 8 so it should affect the Pump Action Shotgun as well), can be brought at pawshop when gun law is C.
*FN P90 Personal Defense Weapon (fires 5.7X28mm cartridges, each magazine has 50 of then), can be brought at pawshop when gun law is C+.
*50 Cal. Machine Gun (Uses a .50 cal ammo belt, I had no idea of how many bullets a .50 cal ammo belt was supposed to have so I just raised it up to 200) can be brought at pawnshop when gun law is C+ (Yeah, I know it is ridicullous to buy a heavy machine gun off a pawnshop, but I know no other way to insert it into the game).

Armor:

*SpecOps Gear: A type of very heavy armor (is somewhat overpowered, but that was the whole idea), it can be crafted if you have a very skilled tailor and a lot of money.

Vehicles:

*Armored Truck: Unfortunaly I was unable figure out a way to make it invunerable to low caliber weapons as I intended to. It can be stolen, however, it is nearly impossible to find unattended, but just nearly.

I would like to thank the LCS community for providing us with such easy to access modding tools . Congratulations guys, you rule.

PS: Should I actually have made a new thread to post that? 

[Kay12]

You don't have to create a new thread unless you want to, and I doubt anyone's going to be mad for you posting that here. Besides, the title of this thread is "LCS Mods" - people expect to find at least two here, and thanks to you, we're halfway there!

[Lenin_Cat]

Why didnt you put these in a zip file? 

[Carlos Gustavos]

Thank you, your compliments are appreciated.
