LTS Rebalance Lite

Required by Server and Client

A rebalancing of titans and titan kits focused on bringing underpowered and overpowered titans and kits more in line, mainly for LTS. It does not seek to change the meta or remove gameplay mechanics. The mod is usable outside of LTS; the balance merely does not consider other modes.

Activation

FAQs

My game bugs out when I play on normal servers.

Joining normal servers while the mod is on does not fully disable it. You need to disable the mod (not KVFix) on the main menu to join normal servers and not get wack behavior.

What is Dinorush.LTSRebalanceLite_KVFix?

Basic ver: Northstar currently does not reload all the files it should when reloading mods via the mod menu. This mod fixes the problem if LTSRebalanceLite is enabled/disabled, otherwise you may experience weird gameplay behavior or crashes. (Note: may cause a short "freeze" when loaded into MP)

Technical ver: Northstar doesn't reparse weapon keyvalue files when reloading mods. This mod checks whether LTSRebalanceLite is on and whether LTSRebalanceLite keyvalue files are loaded. If it detects that these two checks do not match, it will attempt a weapon_reparse when possible. Otherwise, the user can get incorrect keyvalue desyncs during gameplay or even crashes for certain function calls that don't work in vanilla.

If I want to disable LTSRebalanceLite, should I also disable LTSRebalanceLite_KVFix?

No. This mod exists specifically for the case that LTSRebalanceLite is disabled; it should be left on.

Can I turn off LTSRebalanceLite_KVFix and still use LTSRebalanceLite?

Sure. LTSRebalanceLite_KVFix is not necessary to use LTSRebalanceLite. However, if you ever use the mod menu to enable/disable LTSRebalanceLite, you will need to manually run weapon_reparse with sv_cheats on in the multiplayer menu/a private match or reboot your game to avoid the aforementioned issues. Unless you know what you're doing, I wouldn't recommend turning KVFix off.
