installed this mod. still have 6 slots instead of 7 or 8. why is it so hard to have mroe than 6 slots in this game? i go to ini files to change 6 to 8 but it still shows 6. so frustrating

This fixed my issu with seven squad soldiers where the equipement was too much too the right.
1) but doesnt fix the soldiers being only shown as 6. (but you can equip 7 ok).
2) now i have 8 soldiers. Same problem for equipement again :(

Then it could be your graphics problem for lagging during the screen listener and messed with the light source rendering.

There is something wonky with this Mod. It made the game REALLY dark. Like all the lights were broken in the Avenger. I know it's this mod that did it because I turned the mod off and loaded the same save and it was back to normal.....so yeah....

Works with A Better Start mod?

Thanks!

You don't need this in LW2, they have their own solutions.
forsakeNXE 19 Jan, 2017 @ 4:20pm 
Is it compatible with LW2?
-bg-  [author] 19 Nov, 2016 @ 12:40pm 
I can't, the way showmetheskill move the list is way too intrusive and is very incompatible with others by design
Fx_oO7 19 Nov, 2016 @ 1:59am 
I have just arrived at the mission, and the soldiers its well offset when we click modify a soldier, the decalge occurs after.
Think you fix this problem?
KhoiBui 19 Nov, 2016 @ 1:55am 
I found out what caused the problem. Both ShowMeTheSkill and ShowMeTheSkill Updated caused it. I tried each of them and both made the squad select UI shift. I hope you can try tweaking something to fix this, 'cause i knda like using showmetheskill. It's okay if you can't though, the mod it's that necessary.
-bg-  [author] 16 Nov, 2016 @ 11:48am 
try disable mods and see what mod causes it, as I cannot reproduce the bug you mentioned.
KhoiBui 16 Nov, 2016 @ 6:56am 
thanks for the updates. but unfortunately it's still not working for me, the whole soldier slots are stil; shifted to the center
Dragon32 15 Nov, 2016 @ 2:32am 
Thanks for looking at the problem, -bg-, I'll check it out later.
Fx_oO7 15 Nov, 2016 @ 12:01am 
Thank you for your response.
I will test this once my problem with some mod that gives me some trouble.
-bg-  [author] 14 Nov, 2016 @ 8:10pm 
ok it should be fixed now, tested and have no problems except the navigation bar is pretty f'ed up, but those problems are there even without mods.
Fx_oO7 14 Nov, 2016 @ 3:05am 
Like other people, the same problem of selection lag.
It's still a few things to get out a joystick patch and break the mods we use.
Tired of seeing our backup break because of that.
Thanks in any case to follow your mod and try to correct.
-bg-  [author] 13 Nov, 2016 @ 10:43am 
I'll investigate what causes the problem
pintocat 12 Nov, 2016 @ 2:10pm 
I'm having the same problem... if I don't do anything at that screen like edit a soldier's loadout etc.. it's on the screen fine, but if I edit a soldier, when I get back the left side starts in the middle, so half the soldiers are off the screen to the right.
KhoiBui 9 Nov, 2016 @ 10:00pm 
i think the new patch did some weird stuff with the fonts and resolution, the slots kinda like shift to the center of the screen.
KhoiBui 2 Oct, 2016 @ 5:05am 
i dunno what i did but the problem is gone now
KhoiBui 30 Sep, 2016 @ 7:10am 
do you think it could be ShowMeTheSkillUpdated? that's the only one i think that can cause this problem
KhoiBui 30 Sep, 2016 @ 6:59am 
if i give you a list of my mods, could you check them out for me?
-bg-  [author] 29 Sep, 2016 @ 10:11pm 
then it's probably some other mod that is supposed to change the size through the options menu trying to update the config. If you want to manually change the ini you need to disable those kind of mods.
KhoiBui 29 Sep, 2016 @ 9:37pm 
uh.. no i dont use LW toolbox
Phrozehn 29 Sep, 2016 @ 3:37pm 
I wish I could figure out why it isn't working for me. Whenever I use it it pushes the buttons for each character half off the screen and still doesn't show the 7th and 8th squadmates.
-bg-  [author] 29 Sep, 2016 @ 11:31am 
this mod does not change those options, they are probably being modified by LW toolbox. Remember if you have LW toolbox you don't need this.
KhoiBui 29 Sep, 2016 @ 1:46am 
I just found a problem with the mod. It went like this:
I editted m_iMaxSoldiersOnMission=4 to 6 and MaxDisplayedSlots=6 to 8 as you said. The first game it worked just fine. Then after i exited to desktop, a window poped up saying that XComGameData.ini and XComUI.ini were modified by the game and asked me to reload them. If Yes -> m_iMaxSoldiersOnMission=6 change to 4 and MaxDisplayedSlots=8 change to 6.
Since then, whether i create a new game or load the first save that worked, my squad would only have 4 people.
Riflemen526 17 Sep, 2016 @ 11:30am 
Will this mod allow me to have a 30-man Squaddie platoon? The old Max Squad Size fix used to allow it until it vanished.
EvilNecroid 17 Sep, 2016 @ 7:24am 
ok i just ran into a problem :(
i had 6 guys and that was working fine then i built the gorilla tactics school and now when im selecting my troops my 6 guys r there but the box under the 6th character where u can select what grenade they have or edit the character and all that is gone even tho i can see all 6 of my guys standing there.
i only just built the room i havent got any of the squad upgrades yet
-bg-  [author] 16 Sep, 2016 @ 6:49am 
the old mod that does this was removed by the author, which is why I remade the mod.
EvilNecroid 16 Sep, 2016 @ 3:30am 
i had a mod like this already but it just magically stopped working for some reason
KhoiBui 3 Aug, 2016 @ 9:44pm 
so what i need to do is to change some stat in those file and use the mod, and it would work like max squadsize fix?
-bg-  [author] 3 Aug, 2016 @ 7:51pm 
they are in your documents/My Games/XCOM 2/XComGame/Config
KhoiBui 3 Aug, 2016 @ 7:10pm 
could you tell me where XComGameData.ini and XComUI.ini are? are those the ones in the DLC_2 DLC_3 and XCom_DLC_Day0?
-bg-  [author] 26 Jul, 2016 @ 9:07pm 
@Dragon32, you want to set LIST_LOWER instead
Durr 26 Jul, 2016 @ 9:04pm 
@Phrozehn I've been getting your problem in the past couple of runs, which is wierd since I didn't have this problem before. Is it possible another mod is screwing with the UI or squad deploy in some way?
Dragon32 23 Jul, 2016 @ 2:55pm 
If I want to lower the position of the scroll bar on screen should I set ITEM_Y to a lower or higher value in the INI? I guess a lower one...
My Balls Itch 22 Jul, 2016 @ 4:16pm 
Latest update resolved all issues for me. Thanks!
Phrozehn 22 Jul, 2016 @ 7:31am 
Update: Once purchasing the 7th slot Squad Upgrade the problem goes away (though the 7th soldier is visualized on squad select.
Phrozehn 22 Jul, 2016 @ 7:09am 
I also just loaded up an older save with one SquadSize+ perk. That one laoded 7 soldiers just fine. This seems to be isolated to my one save, and can't figure out why =/
Phrozehn 22 Jul, 2016 @ 7:04am 
@-bg- What's even more strang eis that if I load an earlier save, the problem doesn't exist. I don't see the GTS perk placeholder, and all works fine. And it doesn't hide the slot itself. I can select a character from it. But it wont show the unit model visually unless I autofill, in which case, if I change that slot, the auto-filled unit's (unit A) animation is there, but it isn't the one manually selected in the slot (unit B). Then I load the mission and unit B will be in the Sky Ranger visually, but then not be in the game when it loads (forced to 5).

Again, works fine on a previous load. COnsistently. What should I look for in XCOMUI.ini?

It's worth noting I've subbed and resubbed several times for this mod, as well as Larger Squad Size to no avail.

I can also now confirm that it's all missions after this initial mission as well.
paksman 22 Jul, 2016 @ 3:03am 
This is great, thank you bg, mod is working perfect now. I'm using INI edits to increase the squad size and just had to set ITEM_Y value to 10 to be able to see all stats and perks from ShowMeTheSkills mod.
-bg-  [author] 21 Jul, 2016 @ 11:00pm 
that's weird, this mod don't attempt to hide slots, it just updates slots if they are not updated, have you checked XCOMUI.ini?
Phrozehn 21 Jul, 2016 @ 9:21pm 
This is very strange. It's been working great my whole campaign... butnow on my second Supply mission all of a sudden if I don't autofill my squad )ie. if i indiviually select each one) I only get 5 soldiers, though I've beenplaying with 6. As soon as I rmeove this mod, it's back to 6 just fine.

I noticed that at the same time, without having the GTS built I've got one box saying I can unlock it if I ge tthe GTS perk. This only JUSt started on the SAME mission I'm having difficulty. The mod I use to increase squad size is Larger Starting Squad.
Lanius 20 Jul, 2016 @ 5:24pm 
thank you, i can confirm it works now
i had the same issue without ShowMeTheSkills
-bg-  [author] 20 Jul, 2016 @ 4:27pm 
:/ that might have something to do with the dynamic positioning I added to be more compatible with ShowMeTheSkills, I will push out another patch later.
My Balls Itch 20 Jul, 2016 @ 3:01pm 
Phrozehn and Paksman are reporting the same issue I'm having, but I am NOT using any version of ShowMeTheSkills
paksman 20 Jul, 2016 @ 2:58pm 
I have the same problem as Phrozehn and I'm using the first ShowMeTheSkills version.Maybe it's conflicting with other mods, but I don't think I use any other mod that is messing with squad select UI
