I would like to thank TwnK on Discord for the awesome suggestion about using ENDGAME as inspiration.

What is ENDGAME?
ENDGAME is a Legendary Pistol Number 5 and it has a neat little effect.

What Effect?
It fires like a shotgonne.

Woah thats awesome!
Thats not a question.. but yes, yes it is.

How is this acheived?
Simply by adding the RIFLE Skill in the desired Pistol Items entry.

Thats it. Your pistol now treats it's Basic Attack as a Shotgonne instead of a Pistol. You can then clone the skill if you want, and edit it's properties since it has a .DAT File & .LAYOUT File.

Enjoy!

Hey @InsanityPilgrim welcome to the forums.
If no char select anim is specified, it should play the idle anim specific to the weapon equipped.
The char select anim can be forced via the "MAINMENUIDLE" (or similar to that) line in the .DAT of your class unit. You can use that line in the "base" unit file, in which case it will be inherited into the male and female unit files. Or you can use it in the separate male / female files so they can have different animations.
You can get the list of all available animation names from the .ANIMATION file in MEDIA/MODELS/PCS/HUM_M and HUM_F.

As the title. How do we increase or decrease summon limits for things like Spider Bot and Gun Bots?

Thanks.

Thanks for these scripts @Lord Nyriox. They saved me a ton of time right now.

That is great to hear, @Kva3imoda!

I may one day come back and clean my scripts up (i.e. add proper variables and better documentation).  But I am glad that even in its incomplete state, my TL2 toolchain has proven useful for you. 

P.S.  For now, I will be locking all my forum topics while I am away.

Thank you so very much for all your support!

you can download it from yandex.disk service
here is my thread http://torchmodders.com/forums/tips-tools/(tool)-another-localization-tool/
links on latest tool version in first post.
how to use...
1 - unpack mod
2 - start that tool (change some options before, if needs)
3 - Ctrl-N for text lines generate (choose mod folder there)
4 - scan files
5 - save file after scan complete.
when scan complete, you will see table with file of text, tag, source text, checkboxes to mark translated text as partially translated, empty column - place for translation.

STRONGLY recommended to keep somethere TRANSLATION.DAT file from game directory with your language (if it presents) or from mod with game translation.
guts: create new project, set the name. then make directory for translation file - all text placed into TRANSLATION.DAT always, check how other mods do it. place your translation file and compile mod.

I hope, you will understands how to do it all properly by yourself
