That certainly would fix the broken technicians with their scripts entering a dead-loop state after giving the second grade toolbox to them :D

As i remember it had a similar mod like this for CoP. What the difference ?
i only know change "up_sect_... = true" and it will unlock the upgrade you want(CoP has 4, CoC has 5 for each weapons).
And don't need to start a new game

it's more or less the same actually, there's just a lot more to tweak. Remember, this mod is based on Call of Pripyat so if you know (more or less) how to tweak things in that game then tweaking things in this mod becomes a lot easier.

I made an alternate that actually fixes the tier upgrading problem. 1st tier is always unlocked on every mechanic, 2nd tier unlocked by Gunsmith Toolkit and 3rd tier unlocked by Advanced Gunsmith Toolkit. I can't post links but I did post it on reddit under [CoC+STCSWP] Fixed Toolkits/Mechanics

Pretty cool little mod, which fix the initial tool-box bug ! But i have two remarks :
1 - What's the point of forester if you can fully upgrade your weapons at your own base
2 - The tool-kits should not be so easy to find (you can buy them from your own faction trader!).

Some people don't want to search all 32 zones for tools. We just want quick upgrade.

Ok, and this add-on gives us the choice, but i also think vanilla COC should not let traders sell tool-kits so easily (except the first one, maybe). After all, it's supposed to be a survival FPS, i think inventory traders are already well-filled with a lot of stuff. But, as you said, it's a matter of choice.

The idea that technicians can upgrade stuffs from the start is quite normal, as CoC is supposed to take place after CoP, and by that time, all technicians either had their toolkits or necessary USB. Why need to find tools?
And stop moaning you survival FPS and Warfare freaks! You want survival? Go blast some bloodsuckers in CoP Misery mod with the last difficulty.
CoC was made to enjoy freeplay, not to torture oneself.

1 - you can keep forester relevant by not upgrading to tier 3 with anyone else. Or not downloading the mod. Either or.

2 - Eh, a lot of people were complaining about how rare it was to find a toolkit to begin with. The shop availability was literally to deal with the complaints. If I did clamp down on the toolkits, it'd be in a separate mod regardless.

You should add a file that opens up all the upgrade paths for each weapon as well. So you can have a fully upgraded exo suit if you work that hard. Just a suggestion, take it with a grain of salt. In other words though, fantastic job.

Mind clarifying that? Did I miss one of the upgrade trees or what? If you're running vanilla you should be able to go to Tier 3 without a toolkit, unless you mean something along the lines of this mod:

Gamewatcher.com

which would take a while for me to reverse-engineer...

Hi, your addon works well and my previous comments were not meant to criticize. It's a good addition. One question however : Do you think it would be easy to unlock only the first two upgrades for the repairmen, Just to leave the third to forester ?

Yes, its a warfare thing, delete the upgrade_infos folder and stalkers_upgrade_infos.ltx and all mechanics then install this over and all mechanics will be able to do tier 3 stuff.

I am using OWR 3 and Warfare but there is an upgrade infos folder. When i copy your mod's files nothing happens. Do i need to restart a new game?

EDIT: I got it working by deleting some lines in stalkers_upgrade_info.ltx but now almost every minute it crashes and says "undhandled exception occurred see log for details."

Nevermind, got it to work.
At first i actually thought this mod would allow me to have ALL upgrades instead of just unlocking all upgrade tiers without doing the toolkit quests.

Silly me, i should read the post better next time.

By the Blessed Notepad++...

Yeah, when I said not a lot of free time, I meant it.

So! To clarify, I'll have this sucker fixed soon(ish) if not a bit later, mostly because I need to re-install and the patcher likes to take its sweet time going about things and I try to acid test this nonsense with as many mods as possible. The first stage is just to get a base-version going.

@ Manelag, I hope to get an all upgrades availability mod going at some point, but that is a much more complicated affair than this one.

@ Bodyguard, if you had to over-write something when installing this mod, you're gonna have a bad time. Either way, I intend to do this thing for multiple mods so you should find one coming your way, ideally before end of month(free time. I had more of it before this job thing. Then again, I like money.)

@ Zealot K, pre-1.26.and.change, easy enough, just somewhat tedious and more prone to me making a mistake somewhere, which is why I made the decision to just do it as an all-in-one affair, and people who wanted to keep T3 to forester, could just not upgrade to T3 anywhere else. That was my reasoning, and I hope it clears things up for you. Now? I need to poke around the files to make sure the devs didn't change too much, because patch notes might as well be Japanese to me. Wait, the ARE Japanese. Well then.

Can you make it so you can have all upgrades in the tier at once? Like for ex the Exo skeleton can be upgraded by tier 3 to have +10 armor or 10+ Rupture and you could have both of them
