[WotC] I'm the Commander here

Description
Background
Pure frustration over your beginning soldiers getting the worst Trainingcenter ability combinations while some random dude you got as a reward from a Councilmission has all the good ones?

Don't worry no more, as you are the Commander here this mod will let you choose any eligable ability for your soldiers to your likings for a little amount of AP of course after you build the Trainingcenter.

Extension Mod
This mod [WotC] I'm the Commander here extension will add more abilities for herosoldiers to roll naturally.
Check the mod-page for more details. (Note: This feature was earlier incorporated into this mod, but I decided to move it to a seperate mod keeping this mods functions cleaner.)

Mod config files

XComImTheCommanderHere.ini
Main-config file for this mod, see the config itself for further explonations on what the settings do.

XComClassData.ini
I included this to enable Sparks having Trainingcenter abilities and remove some abilities which are nonsense from the selection choice like Deep Cover. Also introduced AP to Sparks on promotion.

XComGameData.ini
You can adjust the number of how many TC abilities any soldier gets. Defaultsetting is still 4 and setting it 7 or above will break this mod and your game.

Compatibility
  • Works with any promotion screen (default,new,community)
  • Don't use this mod WotC: Sparks with AWC Abilities in conjunction with this one as its features are already incorporated
  • If u play with RPGO u don't need this mod.
  • Does not work in conjuction with WOTC Richards Hero Classes Rework This mod will let you do everything that mod does and even more.
  • This mod needs valid soldierclasses to work properly. If another mod let's you change classes midcampain and does not do everything correctly chances are this mod will not work for that specific soldier.
  • For LWoTC you need to subscribe to the LWotc extension mod LWoTC extension

Gamepad support
  • to "click" the respec button he must be visible and then you open the console and type: ClickRespecButtonByConsole
  • DPAD: UP+DOWN will let you cycle through the left side choosing the ability you wanna respec (purple/psionic colored)
  • DPAD: LEFT+RIGHT OR R1+R2 will let you cycle through the middlescreen choosing the new ability (yellow colored)
  • A for XBOX OR X for PS4 Controller will accept the choice, B or O will close the screen
  • Use this mod RS for respecc for opening the respec window with a gamepad

Same Mod for other iterations of the game

FAQ
  • Everything works midcampagin.
  • if you find yourself only being able to respec the first ability plz read what I wrote under gamepad support as it describes how this mod works
  • See the change notes for what is new and has changed.
  • If you go back from LWotC to standard X-Com 2 don't forget to set unsubscribe the LWoTC extension mod or uncheck it in the launcher
  • RPGO players do not need this mod.

Before making a comment about a "bug" or a "feature" not working ask yourself:
  • Did I read the description of this mod?
  • Did I look at the pictures of this mod?
  • Has my question recently been answered in the comment section?
  • If you make a comment about a bug be as detailed as you can. Sentences like "it's not working" won't enable me to solve any problem.
  • If you need extenisve support feel free to contact me on Discord: Dare#0357
  • Very technical and foremost individual problems should be asked on Discord

Permission
One may use any of my code as he sees fit as long as appropiate credit is given.

Not sure whats wrong, I am able to respec but in missions they swap back to original ability.
It was Stealth, and I found out you posted a mod for LWOTC which is what I play so I made some modifications in the config and it worked, all good :D

Is the ability really called Stealth and not Phantom?
Hey! Idk if you can help me here in the comments, but I use the extension and I tried to add a perk to the skirmishers (the stealth which grants you concealment as long as enemies don't detect you), so I duplicated the line that added the supression perk to skirmishers and replaced "Supression" by "Stealth" which is what you use for the Templars, and it doesnt work. I tried many different perks and it doesnt appear when I use the command "RespecSelectedSoldier" or when I search through the Respec button. Is there a way you can help me? Thx in advance :)

good it worked out for you :)

oh wow...... i found a simple solution for what i was really looking for which wasn't adding in new abilities necessarily but having access to all abilities possible from my xcom pool. all i did was add in tiers 5-7 for all the classes in the lwotc extension for this mod and it did what i wanted. whew that was easier that i thought it would be.
ThePwnageKitty 17 Aug @ 8:01pm 
err.... actually there is apparently a random ability deck for each class but i think I will have to fumble around to get what I want to happen with that...
ThePwnageKitty 17 Aug @ 7:47pm 
if im reading the xcomclassdata file correctly then it either adds or replaces the random deck abilties but it's really odd since each soldier class has access to a different pool of xcom abilities at least as far as i can tell from looking at my soldiers..... I will attempt to add all possible abilities to the tedjam version since it seems to be overriding and see if they show up unless I should hope that the abilities will show up if I add them to the the lwotc mod file.... wish me luck i guess
Dare  [author] 17 Aug @ 6:06am 
u might wanna check if any clasmods adds additional decks. If so they need to be added to the config. Check the extension mod for LWTOC on how to do that.
ThePwnageKitty 17 Aug @ 2:52am 
they are unfortunately not available with the mods I am currently using. I am on LWOTC and tedjam. I assume that tedjam screws with it but I don't know how it messes it up. I do notice that the available abilities are widely different between the different classes for some reason. like on one class ill see 18 abilities or so and on another ill see nearly 30 (estimate because I didn't count them out).
