Have Chinese?
stellarisengineer 20 Aug @ 2:03am 
can you some how make it work with the "ModConfig Menu mod:missing:"?
MrMister 9 Aug @ 3:08am 
Right; my mistake, and thanks in retrospective.

@MrMister
Enabling bUseExtraInfo will show nickname and class.
Garr Incorporated 9 Aug @ 3:00am 
It is a feature that exists. It is locked behind a config edit.
MrMister 9 Aug @ 2:47am 
Feature request: on the event text, when you mention the involved soldiers' names, could you also mention their class and Rank:

Example: Instead of "John Smith", say "Sgt. John Smith (Ranger)".

Reason is, a specific stat's bonus or malus' importance heavily depends on the soldier's class... and I'll be damned if I remember who's who just from their name (as you can't back out to the Avenger screen and then come back to the event choice).

You gonna pay for one? Modders generally don't get paid for releasing this stuff, you know.

next time hire an actual artist

Does it work with LWOTC ?
AgRipnus  [author] 14 Jul @ 1:56pm 
They are permanent, but it's picking 2 random soldiers and 2 different stats. It's rare to get the same soldier multiple times, it's even rarer to get the same stat debuff on the same soldier.
Also across all events, there's more buffs than debuffs in the choices. So you should end up net positive in the long run.
Inflamel 13 Jul @ 10:49pm 
Are buffs and debuffs permanent? I plan on using the mod, but what's holding me back is whether or not stat modifications will be permanent. Do these modifications last only for the month? I'm a bit worried about ending up in a scenario where I have to deal with soldier who ended up with only 1 HP for the rest of the game or something like that.
Garr Incorporated 7 Jul @ 2:15am 
Too bad the setting only allows enabling both class AND nickname. A little more versatility in that department would be neat...
Hendy 1 Jul @ 10:08pm 
Wishful thinking : I wonder if it would be possible to make an event UI that shows the characters (like Crusader Kings 3)?
Dragon32 18 Jun @ 1:46am 
@AnarXaoC
Check the mod's .ini you can change the event frequency and enable displaying nicknames, if that's what your second part was about.
AnarXaoC 17 Jun @ 8:22pm 
hello, i wanna ask is there a way to increase the frequency of the mods?
since i don't have time to play most of the time, sometime it take several scan to even trigger once

on the same note
due to how the mod setting, i do not know which soldier stats jump from before and after
it would be great if i know which soldier are losing too much of a stats (i once end up with a very high rank unit with just only 2 HP lol...)
AgRipnus  [author] 16 Jun @ 11:54pm 
There's a setting in the .ini to turn class and nicknames on. You can't disable the 3rd option but you can edit the ini and adjust the buffs as you like. You can watch the second half of the mod video to see how it's done.
Gunter McGunt 16 Jun @ 11:36pm 
any way to add the class after the name? It can be hard to remember if i'm removing -1 mobility from my Shinobi or my Grenadier.

Also wondering if it's possible to disable the 3rd option which always gives 2 positive results?
AgRipnus  [author] 11 Jun @ 10:24pm 
You are the first to report a crash in a long time. Do you have all the basic stuff, Wotc, the Dlcs, highlander? You can share your launch.log for me to have a look.
☥¤§ÑîGHTMÃRɧ¤☥ 11 Jun @ 7:23pm 
this is an odd mod for me, i load it crashes my game don't know why i disable it and it still works in my game with no crash odd?
david.kahil1 29 May @ 12:28am 
make more of these they are awesome really makes it feel whole you know
AgRipnus  [author] 9 May @ 7:05am 
Yes it can happen, I've tuned the frequency with that in mind. You shouldn't worry about it too much, if you are in a rush to check Tygan you will miss 2 soldiers having an argument in another room. You should still be getting around 2 events per month even if you miss some.
Highwayman300 9 May @ 6:35am 
Loving these so far, but I noticed that it is very easy to skip these altogether since the game cancels them out if you don't cancel out every vanilla menu on the geoescape.

Getting into any type of mission or scanning POIs automatically skip any event that triggered mid Avenger flight.
GoodShotMate 25 Apr @ 7:54am 
Would you consider making a non WoTC version?
who, me? 23 Apr @ 11:08pm 
thank you for the swift answer, i changed the config file to see if they activate more often, i saw it's like two events per month on defaut value of 5. But i have like 90 guys and 10 missions active, so may be i should wait a bit longer, because time goes slowly :) great idea for this and your other mods!
AgRipnus  [author] 23 Apr @ 2:59pm 
You don't need a campaign restart.
who, me? 23 Apr @ 12:54pm 
Do i have to start new campaign ? I'm in the middle of LWOTC like, been playing this one forever, it will be cool if it can activate mid game, i'm really curious about this?
Fatal 18 Apr @ 4:49pm 
This sounds incredible. If it's not too much to ask, I'd love to see events based on things happening in combat - like a rivalry if two soldiers go on a hot streak, or guilt if a soldier is a sole survivor, or anger if a soldier is wounded after an ally misses a shot.
AgRipnus  [author] 17 Apr @ 3:40pm 
Are you using Covert Infiltration?
clw6 17 Apr @ 2:40pm 
I like the idea of the mod but is there anyway for it to pick soldiers that are actually on the Avenger at the time? haha. I get events popping up with soldiers on different missions and not on the Avenger at all lol.
The Jello loser 15 Apr @ 4:28pm 
tomodachi life but xcom
abost5 14 Apr @ 8:22pm 
@xf100t Lmao, calm down bro, guy was just asking. Mod maker just used AI for everything anyways, not like it actually took much time to make.
RambelZambel 8 Apr @ 4:15am 
would ike to see an option to disable the showing of stat changes, and it seems it prefers to pick higher rank soldiers
xf100t 4 Apr @ 10:18am 
STFU Grunt. If you have nothing constructive to say to someone who donates their time for free, then go back and hide in your hole. This is a new concept for mods that actually has a lot of potential to significantly change and add new dynamics. Those kinds of mods are rare at this point. I love it.
Foolish 27 Mar @ 6:34am 
this is exactly what xcom is missing, love this dude! cant wait to try it
ScriptGenius12 24 Mar @ 3:56am 
Does this affect skirmish or TLP missions?
Shaggoth (Ищезаяц) 18 Mar @ 10:58am 
@"Grunt" do you have plans to provide replacement for all art, and continue to do so as mod evolves?
Grunt 18 Mar @ 10:53am 
Do you have plans for removing AI art? :GDNormal:
Leokosta 28 Feb @ 11:40am 
May I suggest an option on events that changes nothing ? Like: "and then [soldier] woke up from his nightmare, and realized these events never happended. " Great mod, love the idea
kiloromeo 27 Feb @ 5:10am 
@AVIS Does in my current play. Have not noticed any issues. But can not say for sure. Actually second campaing running it. Got through HQ-assualt in last one and just about to in this one.
AVIS 26 Feb @ 6:14pm 
Does this work with LWOTC?
kiloromeo 25 Feb @ 5:34am 
Ha. Pretty brutal to have your "not created equal" 3 hp solider eat a bad burger! LOL
I know I got into this myself!
AgRipnus  [author] 23 Feb @ 11:21am 
@Sacred Coil It is that why I made my complex relationships mod, so I can make an expansion to this with specifically defined soldier pairs and not randoms.
Sacred Coil 23 Feb @ 9:55am 
Interesting idea. Great potential. Would it be possible for two bonded soldiers to have more events together than two randoms?
Kaijin 22 Feb @ 6:44pm 
Is there any way the config files could also be their own mod to sub to, much the way Iridar's WSR does? It's just so they don't get overwritten on updates.
AgRipnus  [author] 19 Feb @ 10:44am 
I made a config toggle to show nicknames and classes in the tooltips. The tooltips will get a bit long if you set it to TRUE, so it's off by default.
TITANMASTER25 18 Feb @ 6:23pm 
Can you please find a way to add the nicknames to the random events too? I accidentally picked the wrong options because I couldn't remember all of my soldiers names, just their call signs. Thank you! (Or is there a mod that can add that in? thanks)
kiloromeo 17 Feb @ 12:52am 
Will they have their own future event??? LOL
kiloromeo 17 Feb @ 12:50am 
Ha ha! Love it! Now I got a rat and a cat!
Dęąth Viper 16 Feb @ 10:42pm 
I love this. Does this support adding in custom loot tables? My idea is to add events that have optional opening of special supply crates. Opening them could give you the loot, or scrapping could give you extra supply / intel etc etc
MikeyRyu 16 Feb @ 7:03am 
I was trying to get a avenger defense mission myself to check, but the game never gave it to me, but knowing this now will make my next avenger defense mission go smoothly
