Commander's Choice [WOTC & Vanilla]

Description
This mod is compatible with both Vanilla XCOM 2 and War of the Chosen.
The mod may be marked as incompatible with War of the Chosen. This can be ignored. The mod is classified as a vanilla xcom mod to maintain cross-compatibility.

Commander's Choice
Commander's Choice lets you set the class of any Rookie who is ready to rank up to Squaddie.

Any rookie ready for promotion will have a Commander's Choice button in the Armory Soldier Menu.
By Default Commander's Choice disables the Promotion Button for Rookies on the After Action screen (screenshot 3).
The Promote button on the Armory screen can optionally be disabled as well. This behavior can be customized in the ini.

The Commander's Choice button will only appear for Rookies that have earned but not yet received a promotion.
The PsiOps and Spark classes are not supported, for lore and mechanical reasons. The Commander's Choice button will not appear for these classes.
All other class, including custom classes, are supported. The only requirement is that the class be available to rookies for promotion.

it looks fine to me, something else you might be able to do is disabling the hidden potential setting in your in game settings under campaign

Wasn't working for me recently which was frustrating, using gloomyblues and boyrdee's fixes worked for me, probs will for yall.

under /steamapps/workshop/content/268500/688405905/CommandersChoice.XComMod

Open it in notepad and add RequiresXPACK=true to the bottom and save

and under \steamapps\workshop\content\268500\688405905\Config\XComCommandersChoice.ini

use ctrl+f to easily navigate it, for all the following i did the same change to the line above it that contained ";Default:"

bPreventAccidentalLevelUp=True to Default: bPreventAccidentalLevelUp=False

i also changed the following but probably not needed to fix the mod
bDisableArmoryPromoteRookieButton=False to bDisableArmoryPromoteRookieButton=True

bDisableAfterActionPromoteRookieButton=False to bDisableAfterActionPromoteRookieButton=True

bHideAfterActionPromoteRookieButton=False to bHideAfterActionPromoteRookieButton=True

Seems broken to me for LWOTC
JoeFromHome 23 Aug @ 11:09am 
Question: How do I control what classes the mod detects and lists for me to select? Is that a config file for Commanders Choice or a Config File edit on the classes side?
The Realm 20 Aug @ 4:12am 
I can't get this mod to work. Its randomized like normal for me.
Necromancer 18 Aug @ 10:30pm 
Not sure what's going on, but I can't seem to get this mod to work on WOTC.
GrumpySorc 7 Aug @ 1:25pm 
this works in the base game for me but not war of the chosen. Is anyone else having a problem with this? The button does not appear in the character menu.
tigersag 7 Aug @ 5:49am 
Thank you so much for making this mod. It works really well and I can put my Hollywood characters in the proper roles. I mean nobody wants to see John Rambo as a medic or a computer nerd, right?
