[2022.1] Unique Commanders

Description
Summary
This mod provides players with a unique skipper for each campaign during the character creation scree.

I was getting tired of always seeing a default character template 'Klaus Graf' with the same character setup, and wanted unique commanders for each campaign setup. This mod resolves that and allows for the crew data to be loaded and used as a template in the character creation screen.

No more Klaus Graf filling up every campaign selection.



Notes
Not compatible with Uboat Expanded (upcoming release for 2022.1) as this feature will be baked into the mod.

This mod is NOT save game compatible as you have to go through the process of selecting a skipper (at campaign setup)

Contributors
This mod was made possible using the amazing code of @sq_paradox check out his other work here

Note to Modders
This mod can be used as a dependency to incorporate custom skippers into other overhaul mods (Living Uboat, etc)
All that is required is that the Crew.xlsx / Unique Characters Sheet for your modded campaign contains a character data for a skipper who has the following JSON attributes:
... characterClass: "Leader", characterType: 2, ...

Hi bro, I’d like to kindly request something:

In Uboat, when the captain dies and we promote an officer to captain, they wear a special suit uniform. If you're curious, it looks like:

1. The man next to the mission car
2. The one from whom we recruit crew members

This uniform exists in-game but is hidden and only wearable by the captain under certain conditions. I want to make it available to all officers, and if possible, the entire crew.

I'm not a modder, but I’ve done research that might help—please don’t take this as ego.

I believe if we replace an existing outfit (like “jacket-05”) with this special uniform, it could solve the issue easily.

If you can create and upload this mod to the Workshop, I’d be very happy. A few friends of mine also want this uniform, and I’d love for others to enjoy it too. Thanks in advance!

Seems the Script for the Randomize on the lookup table stopped working, would be neat if you could look into it. I'm not sure if you still have all the Names or Appearences of the Commanders from UBE, I've recently started most of the Campaigns to see who they were and how they looked and how to put them in the game so that would be great to have the historic version working again

Nice. Last time I tried ube (6months ago) I got a fair amount of stuttering, was gonna wait til you had it out of beta. But maybe I’ll give it another go now. Ta dude

I'll make a historical variant and Link it back to this mod so you can choose. Also, if you use UBE you always get the historical data within your game.
