Unlock DLC Missions Immediately

Description
V2.0 - IF YOU ARE AN INITIAL SUBBER PLEASE READ ATTENTIVELY

If you're like me and get really unlucky with the Points Of Interest randomizer, if you want to play the DLC as fast as possible as a newcomer or you just think that the POI Generator in Long War 2 is broken, this is for you.

Installing this mod will make one or all DLC Points of Interest popup on your map immediately after visiting the Strategy Layer Hologlobe (the world map) instantly.

-= HOW TO USE =-
(It sounds difficult, but it's not that bad trust me)
1 - Subscribe to this mod first.
2 - Enable this mod then run the game.
3 - Load your almost virgin campaign or make a new one. Use an ongoing on only if you know what youre doing. Go to the Hologlobe (important), return, and save immediately inside the Avenger.
4 - The config file is now created. Go and open this file in NOTEPAD or the like.
"Documents\my games\XCOM2\XComGame\Config\XComDLCPOIConfig.ini"
4 - Change the lines so it reads (for each one you want)
PLEASE_POPUP_LOST_TOWERS = true;
PLEASE_POPUP_ALIEN_NEST = true;
PLEASE_POPUP_HUNTERWEAPONS = true;
5 - Save the file.
6 - Run the game again. Load your last save. Go to the Hologlobe.
7 - All missions requested will pop.

The mod will now remember that you just popped these missions, and reset the variables to False so it doesnt keep respawning them like an idiot. However, if you manually put them back to True, the mod will attempt to spawn it again! Be careful!

You can put it back to True at any time for any new campaigns you start.

It also works during a campaign that's ongoing but... be careful what you spawn!

Ideally, you want to unsubscribe to this mod once you're done, but the way it's coded it will lay dormant once done.

-= I WANT THE DLC BUT NOT THIS MOD OR ITS TOO COMPLEX TO EDIT AN INI FILE =-
You'll need to enable the Developer Console on launch. Once in the console, type these as required:

- DLC 2 Weapon Drop (Not recommended, this mission will duplicate and is fairly common)
SpawnPOI true 1 POI_HunterWeapons
- DLC 2 Alien Nest
SpawnPOI true 1 POI_AlienNest
- DLC 3 Lost Towers
SpawnPOI true 1 POI_LostTowers

-= ARCHON KING AT START? =-
NO, the usual rules apply.

-= COMPATIBILITY =-
It works with vanilla too, but i feel its not necessary as its pretty fast but to each their own! Try it!

-= KNOWN ISSUES =-
DOUBLE POI / REPEATING QUESTS
I am not subscribed to this mod (i use the Developer Console), and i got the Alien Nest POI a 2nd time from a LW2 reward. This is a LW2 bug it seems! Not related to this mod at all! Sad. Cant fix it.

POTENTIAL WORKAROUND: Do NOT check the DLC2/3 boxes when starting a new game.

-= VERSION =-
V2.0 : Allows popping of single missions instead of all 3. LW2 doesnt take well the popping of the Weapons, it will spawn them again I suggest you use it only if it's been a terrible while and you feel you'll never get them.
The 2 other missions look so far so good.
You'll need to unsubscribe and resubscribe to get the updated INI file.

-= LIABILITY =-
I made this to help out. I can't be held responsible for corrupt campaigns where multiple missions pop up, but i'll do my best as i test it out myself to prevent it.

SpawnPOI stops working at that point if i recall correctly its why it stops working the deck is empty and never refilled

Can you use console commands to activiate those missions?
Juravis  [author] Jan 7, 2019 @ 9:54pm 
Dont use this anymore. Its severely deprecated. Use the console commands.

Does it matter if we are playing Vanilla XCOM2 or WOTC? Sorry, gotta ask to be clear.
Juravis  [author] Jun 7, 2018 @ 10:00am 
Check the xcom source code in the sdk

@yeah, I have multiple threads open and I meant to share your info with another person asking. Sorry for posting here, but they don't let me delete my fuck ups.

I don't suppose you know where I can find the console command for lost and abandoned?

It isn't SpawnPOI true 1 LostAndAbandonedA_Standard
Juravis  [author] Jun 6, 2018 @ 10:28pm 
Yes it's in the mod comments. I dont know why youre retyping it here.
Sophist88 Jun 6, 2018 @ 3:59pm 
The console command to spawn the mission is: SpawnPOI true 1 POI_losttowers
Sensethenn Jul 25, 2017 @ 10:11am 
i did the lost tower config, the only thing that pops up in the hologlobe is a random event.
You too, as well, also Jun 29, 2017 @ 8:03pm
