robojumper's Squad Select

Description
For a War of the Chosen version, please see here

My personal take on a vanilla Squad Select Screen! Completely built from the ground up!

The very basic idea is that all slots are arranged on some kind of ellipse and you can scroll (infinitely in either direction) when you have more than 6 soldiers to send.

Features:
  • User Interface for more than 6 soldiers. How many? There's no limit!
  • More intuitive with built-in overview!
  • More information: PCS', Health, Abilities (Shows You The Skills), Stats, Armor, Primaries, Secondaries, Pockets...
  • Bad Math and 3000 lines of code!
  • 100% controller compatible!
  • Configurable with Mod Config Menu, but also standalone!
  • Includes a squad size setting!

Not included:
  • A fix for spawn points when you use more than 9 soldiers. See recommended mods below.

Known Issues:
  • Armory Screens reachable from the Squad Select Screen have a Hotlink to Geoscape. DO NOT CLICK IT. IT CAN CAUSE THE GAME TO LOCK UP. This is something I can't easily fix.

How do I increase my Squad Size?

It has a built-in way of choosing the squad size, either via MCM or via the local config file.

If the built-in way of modifying squad size breaks with your setup, you can disable it in XComGame.ini

Recommended Mods:

Incompatible with:
  • Most mods that change the Squad Select Screen, including, but not limited to
    • Long War 2 (dedicated version here! )
    • LW Toolbox (some functionality included)
    • ShowMeTheSkills and variants thereof (functionality included)
    • Upgrade Reminder (functionality included)
    • Larger Starting Squad (functionality included)

FAQ:
  • Will there be a LW2 version?
  • How do I increase my Squad Size?
    • See above.
  • Why does this not include a Spawn Point fix?
    • I wanted to make it as compatible as possible. Since other mods are addressing this issue, I didn't add it.
  • I don't have MCM. How do I configure the mod?
    • Start the game once. It will create a file: "C:/Users/%USERNAME%/Documents/My Games/XCOM2/XComGame/Config/XComrobojumperSquadSelect_NullConfig.ini". There you can adjust the same values exposed to MCM.

Thanks:
  • Highbob for ShowMeTheSkills, ideas of which I borrowed
  • LeaderEnemyBoss for ShowMeTheSkillsRevived, ideas of which I borrowed
  • DerBK for ABA2, because the mod is balanced around 6-8 soldiers. Without it, this mod wouldn't exist!
  • xylthixlm for helping me with some math.
  • All other modders who had to hear my random ramblings about the mod and provided feedback
  • .vhs for upgrade icons and the thumbnail. It's great, don't you think?

Description: "How do I increase my Squad Size? It has a built-in way of choosing the squad size, either via MCM or via the local config file."

But HOW? NO option in .ini files!

For some reason my game is crashing when going to the squad seletion screen (after selecting mission on Geoscape). After disabling, it stoped crashing.

Is there a way to fix this so 7 or 8 soldiers show up on the screen at the same time? Or even any of them? At the moment i have the bottom-ish of the screen stuff but no soldiers at all on the screen.

How can I fix weapon mods to show proper weapon image instead of this wierd :img icon?

Hi, if you would like to see your soldiers stats in the squad select screen (aim, mobility, defense etc...). You MUST download the Mod Config Menu (or edit a file somewhere? maybe?).

Would be nice if this was included in the official description somewhere.

there is no skilltree by me?

Was there a fix in this mod that allowed me to enable the "switch view" button? I started a test run, beginning with 8 squad members at once, and I can't see the other two in the background and the button won't show up.
