@EvilBob22 - still, you stand as a model of what the baseline level should be for people checking their work and ensuring it's function themselves! This is now a proud feature of the AML O+E, as it probably should be for 'literally every pack that isn't running it's own icon sets'.

@LeyShade Thanks! I've written software documentation before, so I think it just comes naturally for me to proofread pretty carefully. Mistakes will sometimes still sneak through though.

@EvilBob22 - Just wanted to say well played on being one of the only authors who's successfully made our teams work irrelevant during the hiatus, by being one of the few authors who's checked and proofed their own work so meticulously there is no fault we can find to fix.

Someone order Bob all the champagne and cookies!!

Glad it's working for you! I didn't start modding until well after WotC came out, so I only ever downloaded the WotC SDK. It also has a very powerful function that wasn't in the vanilla version that allows tweaks to all kinds of item/character/class/etc. templates before the game loads to the main menu. A lot of mods, including this one, make use of it.

@RustyDios, I have ultimate steam collection of XCOM: EU\EW, XCOM 2 with all DLC (including WotC and TLP), even Chimera Squad. But now I returned to classic LW2 because I always loved it and currently I try to make my own LW2 offline collection of mods with my own edits.
Anyway, thanks, I've already done what I wanted by drawing my own class icons and replacing the vanilla ones in the vanilla .upk with my own.

someone still plays vanilla? wow

I'd highly recommend buying the bundle on steam, right now during the autmn sale at 95% off... just $7, all DLC included ... there's even a decent LWotC mod out...

@EvilBob22
I'd really like to use your beautiful icons in vanilla, but I don't have the SDK to recompile your UPK file so it's readable by vanilla (LW2). Can you help me with this?
I'm trying to create my own LW2 mod collection, and I'd like to make my new classes with colored icons.
Thank you so much in advance!

@Bob As always Chefs kiss 10/10 thank you.

@Wolf: done!

@Wolf Weird thing with that class, it uses a class icon from the Surplus Icon Pack, but it isn't in the required mod list. At least is a fairly common requirement for other mods.

@HKR31 I tried a limited mod list with basically just RPGO, Yet Another F1 and their requirements and I saw the same thing (except as the blue versions). I think the only way to fix it would be an update withing RPGO. A bridge mod might be possible though.

@Bob No need to apologize mate. You're literally doing something I wish I had the talent and/or time to do "Pro bono", If anything I should be saying thank you.

If you feel like adding more here's an extra class that could use your magic touch Spec Operative Class but don't feel like you have to if you're preoccupied.

@Wolf: I created the icon for the Wayfarer class and then completely forgot about it. I was uploading an update to some icons borrowed from Amalgamation and noticed Wayfarer was still pending. So, it is finally live now. Sorry about that!

@HKR31: I'll take a look at it, but that is most likely just how RPGO and YAF1 work together. (Without this mod you'd probably see the same thing, just the blue version of the icon.)

In the mod 'Yet Another F1' while using RPGO, the icons appear as the default soldier icon on the inspect menu even when using a custom icon

A new challenger appears and is in need of your support, introducing: Wayfarer class by merist .

Legend mate, Absolute; without a doubt.

Wolf: I've created a link for the Crasher rework to use the same (color) icon as the Crasher. I noticed Merist also did a Keeper class rework, so that one was also included in this update.

I have a small uhmm; extension? to where there's a rework for a class that uses the default icon of the icon you've already worked on [LWOTC] Merist's Crasher Class Rework[/urk]

All the duplicate icons discussed have been updated! Specifics in the change notes.

It's all good Soul!

Sorry double post (I swear I find these randomly lmao so I just post when I see them in case its missed)
Fuse use the same icon as Knox Shock Trooper

Tsall good take your time,can't wait to see the good work.

I've been busy IRL, so it's been slow going, but I have made progress. On the plus side, these are all older icons, so I've been using techniques I've learned over time to make them look even better.

Stay tuned.

An addition I just saw
Hunter of Alpha pack use the same icon as Bulletmeister
Since its normally the icon for Bullet class maybe make the hunter one red bullets,since it seem to use bleed in its primary kit

Since we on that topic,would be cool to do that for
Rocketeer of Alpha (it use the same as rocketeer knox)
Doom guy (use same as toxicologist Iirc)
Iron Stalwart (use the same As Phalanx)

I'll check it out. Probably keep them the same, but make them different colors.

Thanks for making this!
Have a small suggestion tho: the ninja and blade dancer class for Lwotc are using the same class icon. Would it be possible to update one of their icon to a new one?

Ok, great!

(Sorry double post) Was able to check and you right,it was Iron lmao,my b!
Tho its still the old icon for me,I'll try unsubbing/subbing again to see if they update it.

Will check during the week (can't play those days lmao) but maybe it was that one,I just remember it was a shield

New version with Merist's Support and Alpha's two new classes (Technical Operative and Iron Stalwart) uploaded.

@Soul I didn't see the Enforcer being blue, I even tried disabling my local version and downloading the Steam version. Maybe it was the Iron Stalwart you were thinking of?

Knowing Alpha, he probably added new classes to his pack and I just didn't realize. I'll look again at that class pack.

I did see FateVoid's new classes, I didn't download them, but based on the screenshots, they are using copies of icons from this mod. I'm ok with that, but I'm not ok with them having SRGB still checked :) (Leaving SRGB checked makes them really dark in game.) I've had it in the back of my mind to post something to them about that, just haven't done it yet.

I think some of Alpha pack are missing? Like the Enforcer still have a normal blue icon.
Oh yeah also dunno if you saw FateVoid new classes,it'd be cool to have unique icons for these,since they mostly use base psionic icon last I checked

Heh, it's okay. To be fair they do look similar. Slow and steady wins the race.

Huh, I can't find the color version. I must have been mistaken and was thinking of the Jedi or Pegasus icon.

Heh, nice flavor text... Also, I've already done that icon, it just needs a config change to apply to the new class.

[LWOTC] Merist's Support Class A new hand touches the beacon and in need of your touch.

Oh! That's a tricky one. I don't have anything like that at all. At the very beginning I sort of started doing that (see the "Color Scheme" section in the description), but it quickly got dropped for things that make sense in the pictures. Although, that still might be a good place for suggestions to make your own categories.

I don't need a visual class-icon match, I'd like a breakdown of 400 classes into 7-10 categories

You are talking about a way you can see which classes have which icons right? I've thought about that, it would be helpful. But, there are too many to do by hand (over 400 icons now, some of which have multiple classes). I've even laid a little of the groundwork to do it in a semi-automated way, but it would still take a lot of effort to setup.

@EvilBob22
Hi, could you share a comparison table: class = color?
or somehow suggest how I can break down my collection of 100 classes + Mec + Aliens into categories for mutual comparison.

Quick update today to fix a problem that broke the icon for the Proficiency Patchwork class.

Remaining Viper's Proficiency Classes done!

Next batch of Viper's Proficiency Classes uploaded
Sniper
Scout -- uses the Ketaros Pack "Satellite" icon, which has gotten a few new tweaks
Javelin
Jackal
Heavy Gunner
Hacker
Defender

No worries, I clogged it up just as much.

Ah yes, that's probably me. I tend to frequent the LWotC server since I've been trying to run a campaign for the past year and change, although I can never pull myself to do it, but I digress. I've joined the server, sorry for clogging up the comment section here.

Yep, that worked in my setup, so it *should* work on yours.

One thing that could be tried (although I don't have a lot of confidence in it) is nuking all the user configs and rebuilding them. https://www.reddit.com/r/xcom2mods/wiki/mod_troubleshooting#wiki_regenerate_user_config

Another thing could be posting in the troubleshooting for the XCom2 modding Discord server. (I see a person with your name on the LWOTC server, so I assume that's you and you have Discord -- we probably should have moved the conversation off here already... oops!). Link to XCom2 Modding server: https://discord.gg/ZytsZ93

Ok, I asked because if AML can see it, XCom can see it. Let me try copy-pasting what you posted earlier and see if it shows up on mine. It looks correct, but maybe there is something I'm not noticing.

I've never changed configs through AML so I am not too familiar with the process frankly, I've only ever used it to access the folder and then change configs as needed through there. Also AML is able to see the local mod, and I totally can see the drop down for XComClassIconChanges.ini within.

That should work, it'll look in any sub-folders under "Config". AML is able to see the local mod right? And if you look at the config tab for the mod you can see the XComClassIconChanges.ini you made? (Avoid changing configs through AML though, it saves a complete copy of the config in the AML settings file if you do it that way.)

Unfortunately the -s and +s didn't really do anything me, I also made sure to put the -s on top just in case as per the example to no avail. Regarding the local file I have it setup as "Config\2986541763___Color Class Icons\XComClassIconChanges.ini" Would I need another folder between the ini and the mod folder?
