SIGINT Soldier Nicknames

Description
** NON-WOTC VERSION - INCLUDES VANILLA, DLC, AND LONG WAR 2 CLASSES **

This mod replaces the games' soldier nicknames with a list derived from SIGINT codenames pulled from the Edward Snowden NSA disclosures.

I've tweaked a large handful of the names to make them more suitable as a human nickname, and I've also added a few extra. Roughly 60% of the nicknames in the mod are the unchanged codenames of actual American intelligence assets.

I'm probably not going to expand the mod or change its contents unless it's for bugfixing. So if you want changes in the content, learn how to do it yourself. It's not hard.

If you like this mod, please also consider my other XCOM2 mods. They both work alongside this mod, but they conflict with each other so please only choose one. Both have vanilla & WotC versions:

@macelharen - not sure what you mean by "generic or made for vanilla"; I use those terms interchangeably to refer to the original XCOM2 classes: Ranger, Sharpshooter, Grenadier, Specialist, PsiOperative.

The Shen's Last Gift DLC added SPARK. Long War 2 uses the existing PsiOperative list (and SPARK names, if available) and adds eight new classes: LWS_Ranger, LWS_Assault, LWS_Sharpshooter, LWS_Shinobi, LWS_ Grenadier, LWS_Gunner, LWS_Specialist, and LWS_Technical.

This mod adds nicknames for ALL of those classes, for vanilla and Shen's DLC and LW2. From what I can tell Expanded Callsigns and Nicknames only does the original five vanilla classes.

@LGear - sure there is. That's not the mod I wanted to make though.

Feel free to copy the mod into your Steam installation's steamapps\common\XCOM 2\XComGame\Mods folder and tinker with it until you get the version you want. Probably the easiest way to get what you want is to go into the Localization/XComGame.int file, copy the commented-out old nicknames, add them to the end of every list (don't just un-comment them, that won't work), and edit them as follows:

;RandomNickNames[0]="All Day" --> +RandomNickNames[(correct number)]="All Day"

SPARKS are a little different; add them to the end without the index number:

;RandomNickNames[0]="Pendragon" --> +RandomNickNames="Pendragon"

P.S. Turning on this mod in the middle of a save game is totally fine, if that's your concern. It doesn't affect your current characters at all, just the process by which characters get nicknames at the moment they level up.

Is there a way to *add* these to the soldier nickname pool instead of replacement?

Jesus that bastard Snowden is going out along with the likes of Aiden and Hannah.I don't think any Agent is safe.

I use callsigns and nicknames myself, but i suddenly realized that might be only for vanilla classes. I asked there. how about yours...is it generic or made for vanilla classes?
macelharen 30 Sep, 2017 @ 1:16am 
(that's the non-wotc version btw, apparently the author made another version for the expansion, but you haven't made one for that yet.)...i'll let others make requests in 3. 2. 1.

hot damn. that would go absolutely perfect with that mod changing the rank names to heroic stuff. *rummage* don't use it myself but i'll link here. there it is
