Well, the mod hasn't been touched for over 3 years, but I also want to weigh in with a wish for a landscape mode, surprised no one ever made one.

Working fine for me with TLP options + other photobooth mods.

No comments saying otherwise makes me fairly confident this should work with TLP. I will test for a few days.

Turns out the cause was the mod Configurable Headshots, so Willelmus if you still have the problem eight months later and happen to see it, there you go. :P

Been a long time, but heck it:

I have the same problem as Willelmus, but I've tried disabling this mod and the problem persists. Disabling all the other photobooth related mods didn't help, either. No clue what could be the culprit.

Can you upgrade this with the ability to use your own custom real life fotos as background? Thanks eitherway.

Could it be that this mod is making the colour option bonkers? When I change colours, the background changes but the characters remains the same and ignores my choice of colours until I reselect whatever filters I was using.

Would you be able to add more poses into the epitaph photobooth where one of your people dies? Sick of having them in the same pose all the time!

@robojumper:
the localization files can't actually handle "+" or ".", they can only handle direct indices. This is the reason for my workaround.
That's just about the Photobooth isn't it? I've used a number of mods which add soldier nicknames, mission names etc. to the .int using "+" and they've worked fine.

Would it be OK to add this problem of Cato Heresy's as an Issue on the Highlander Github?

@SingABrightSong:
Think that'd be bugger complex to do. There'd be placing them in the game world (line, mob and wedge formations), adjust the camera to cope as well as the UI widgetry to actually pose and control them. Not saying I wouldn't like it myself for a big squad playthrough but it doesn't sound like a trivial thing.

Ah, given that you are the author of the Squad Select mod, I figure it might be worth asking whether additional soldier slots could also be added to the Photobooth screen. Playing with nine soldiers and wanting to take a photo of your whole squad, or for that matter going to the photobooth on the Avenger screen and taking a picture of your entire roster, would, I imagine, be a popular feature.

@Cato Heresy
Yes, the localization files can't actually handle "+" or ".", they can only handle direct indices. This is the reason for my workaround.

The code appends my custom entries (which begin from 0) to the appropriate Photobooth array, so it essentially does what the localization parser can't do.

Thank you.

I have also tried the + method as well with no luck, e.g. +m_arrSquadALines=" , again because I think the lines are being written to the 1st instance of [X2Photobooth] rather than the 2nd.

I did look at your code with interest. My (basic) understanding is that your mod tells Photobooth to look at your array first, then add the base game content. I will attempt a version at my end.

@Cato Heresy
Localization is weird. In particular, there is one problem with your approach -- if you add the quotes starting from 30, what if other mods added to it? They also need to start from 30, which causes conflicts.

As a workaround, my mod includes code that has a separate localized array in my X2DownloadableContentInfo_XXX and copies that one over to the correct location in OnPostTemplatesCreated. You should look into that.

Any help or thoughts on modding Photobooth would be greatly appreciated.

I wanted to publish a simple mod which adds additional quotes to the [X2Photobooth] section in XComGame.int localization file. For example:

[X2Photobooth]
m_arrSquadALines[30]="Only the very best wear this uniform"

The problem is, the game refuses to accept the new code from a mod. But if I paste the new lines directly into the vanilla XComGame file under the correct section, Photobooth accepts and shows the new strings in-game.

@Robojumper - Does Photobooth handle localization wierdly? I tried putting my lines into your empty XComGame.int file within your mod as a test and it still did not run.

I've also noticed that [X2Photobooth] as a class is actually duplicated twice within XComGame.int It's first used mid-way for the array strings you target to add filters, then again in the post-game text section which adds the photobooth quotes.

This seems like an error, as my lines would be added to the first [X2Photobooth] section and thus not read by the game in the correct order.

I had issies on poster creation, so i unistalled this mod, when i do i no longer have the Photobooth ingame.

Is there a way to use the photobooth in the character creation/pool ?
Keep'em coming :D

Mmm nice mod

Is there a way to get more then 6 in a photo??

Great mod.
Is there a mod where it doesn't take a photo even though you didn't tell it to take a photo?

Black47 you were on point with that, I would like to point that out. Well done :) As it stands, the vanilla photo booth options are pretty lacking in variety. This mod, as well as OMC, fixes that exponentially. Robojumper you did well.

Im so getting this when i can afford the DLC XD

As an update: -bg- has updated their "One Million Coulour Plugin for WotC" mod to no longer need the edits I mentioned before. This happened like 4 hours ago.

Thanks Black47! Would like to point out that without Black47's fix, the mod does work for me. Although it only appears during the after mission photo sessions. So yeah. Thanks again!

Thanks Black47!

Good work, Black47 :thumbsup:

(Sorry for the double post, I hit the character limit for steam comments in the previous one)

For anyone that reads this, how to make "WotC: More Photobooth Options" and "OMC Plugin for WOTC" work together:

-Find your steam folder and go to the workshop folder for "OMC Plugin for WOTC". Note that this is NOT referring to the base mod "One Million Colours" which doesn't touch the Photobooth. It's very likely going to be: \steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1133948141\

-Open the XComEngine.ini within the Config folder

-Under [Engine.Engine], find the 3 lines that are +ModClassOverrides and affect: "X2Photobooth", "UITactical_Photobooth", "UIArmory_Photobooth"

-Either erase those 3 lines, or put a ; in front of them so they stop having an effect. The lines will start as ";+ModClassOverrides" without the quotes. Don't forget to save your changes.

I had already cleared my Config folder when I reported it wasn't working, so it was definitely an incompatibility.

I did some tests, and yeah, it was One Million Colours Plugin for WOTC (I'm gonna refer to it as OMC). Playing without that one meant this mod started working.

That said, I got them working together pretty easy by commenting out the OMC mod overrides on the Photobooth "BaseGameClasses", with no conflict so far (though I'll keep testing and report if they break at some point). They are working both nicely together here: https://i.imgur.com/qmC19FP.jpg

These all appear for me in Photobooth. For those who are having problems try clearing out the basegame INI files from your My Games config folder.

Mod not working? Mods still have their effects after you disable them?

Same as Tyrone and LeMarteau, none of the options from this mod show up for me. The only other mod that I have that modifies anything Photobooth related is "One Million Colours Plugin for WOTC", which may be the cause.

YESSSSS I've been waiting for more photobooth stuff to start coming out, this seems like a good start. Kudos!

Same with LeMarteau. The options don't show up in my game as well.

Is it possible to add more than six people to pose? I wanna make a "Group photo"-type thing.

@MasterCrumble I always thought this would work really well with Ayy Lmao 2

I would give anything to see a "Dab" pose.

Okay, thanks. I don't know why but the new options do not show up in the photobooth in my game. Any idea what might be causing this?

Hey I was thinking... Is it possible to add more quotes? When you slam that randomize button. I dunno if that's a tough one as well. But imagine something like 50-100 more quotes? From movies and other games. All that good stuff.

@LeMarteau
Layouts are defined in flash and can't really be added via the SDK we have.

Add in a few more poses nothing like Trolling Advent military like Duck Faces or flex with both arms XCOM got GUNS to.Advent better brace for this firepower.

Have you found out how we add new layouts? I searched through the SDK and didn't find it yet...

Good job!

neat idea. glad someone is doing it

agree with Shaddowlight, a landscape option would be awesome.

is it possible make a mod that changes the photos to be in a horizontal orientation?

Nice

NICE. Now we just need a few more poses and we are GOLD BABY

I had 2 Taiwanese female soldiers that bonded and their poster read.Twin Dtagon Ladies "We fight Advent Long time!"

This is niiiiiiiiiice! I think what's most requested is more backgrounds, layouts and fonts. Super nice start. Thanks, sir.

you are credit to team

YES YES!!
