Enable Avatar in Multiplayer

I think both players have to have identical mod lists for muiltiplayer.

Does this work if the person you play against doesn't have the mod?

i would love long war alien pack for multiplayer

cbdeakin,

The soldier template system is unique. It is used in so many pieces of code, your best bet is just using the vanilla template and making the adjustments you want through the difficulty modifiers. I was trying to do the same, but it's so far embedded in different parts of vanilla code it's gonna take me some time to allow a unique soldier template.

All the others though, alien and advent, have their loadouts determined in gamedata.ini. technically we could do the same with custom soldier templates, but then you lose the option to select your own utility item, plus there's not as much data shown for that style template.

Amazing mod. But I am planning something even better.

A wild multiplayer expansion appears! http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=650437959
Thanks for the permission. This wouldn't be possible without your mod

This is a probable solution. I would need to test this to know if it will work, but it should. I will work a patch for a maxed soldier with a badass equipment set when I arrive from work in 10h.

Loadouts are listed in the file XComGameData.ini, under the key [XComGame.X2ItemTemplateManager].

Characters available for Multiplayer are listed in the file XComMPCharacterData.ini, under specific keys with the format [<loadout> X2MPCharacterTemplate].

Those characters themselves link to premade class templates that are listed in the file XComClassData.ini.

I will try and make a character as I said when I arrive from work. Once I have everything figured out exactly, I will release a Tutorial Mod and a possible guide.

Call me when I get home in 10h from work. Let's try working this out together. It shouldn't be hard. My problem is just that I don't know what to create, but if you have an idea, we can work from there.

Leahn - I think I had a similar problem when adding a new soldier type. The soldier's loadout was empty.

By all means, do it. However, if you are adding entirely new units, my code will not be enough. As you will need to create the game profile for them, as well. And I am not entirely clear on how to create loadouts yet.
