Overwatch All/Others WotC

Description
Adds the ability to put all/other units with action points on Overwatch. SUPPORTS ONLY WotC!

If you need a version that works with non-WotC, go here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=621695447

This mod will save you a lot of time, even if you have Stop Wasting My Time or similar mods installed, because you will avoid the mandatory pause at the end of each unit's turn.

Inspired by and based on the Evac All mod. Thanks tracktwo!


Configuration Instructions:

1. Edit the settings according to the instructions in the file at %STEAMLIBRARY%\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1133368143\Config\XComOverwatchAllWotC.ini


Caveats:

* This mod has been tested and seems to work fine. If you are worried about your campaign, please do back up your saves before using this mod.

* This mod works with existing save games. If you load up an existing save in the middle of a mission, the Overwatch All ability will become available at the start of your next turn.

* For sharpshooters, this mod attempts to perform Long Watch, Sniper Rifle Overwatch, and then Pistol Overwatch if neither of the first two are available.

* A non-sharpshooter unit that has no ammo can still use the Overwatch All ability. All other available units will be set to Overwatch, and control will return to the given unit.

I had the "no icons" problem, but was able to fix it by "regenerate user config" per instructions on reddit. Seems it could have been a remnant from a mod I don't even have installed any more. If you're having problems, give ye old config renew a try. Thanks for the mod

Can you add an "are you sure" screen? I use number commands, and while "3" is the command for regular a single soldier to go to overwatch, it is also the command to Overwatch All for resistance fighters (and some others).
Or is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!

Does not work with the Tactical Legacy Pack missions.

Little update. Took me about 5 minutes, but I have successfully cut out overwatch others. If the author allows it, I'll post a version of this mod without overwatch others.

I can't seem to disable overwatch others ... I'll use the SDK to physically cut out overwatch others out of the mod.

This is a month after the last comment, but I've been using this mod for two years and it has never messed up. It does exactly what it is advertised to do.
IF you are having issues with icons missing or other such stuff, make sure to check what other mods have been added to the mix.:steamhappy:

nope didn't work. Anyone else got the same problem of the icons going missing?
RomRojal Aug 2, 2023 @ 1:27am 
Wierd thing I ran into is that the icons on the bar for overwatch all/others are gone, I don't know why. currently reinstalling the mod will try to see if that fixes it.

@THE Gary
You are using this with WotC and not the base game?
Apart from that I'm not sure, try the basics of clearing your user config files

When clicking over watch all or others, the game freezes and than after 2s the game crashes and without error messages just straight up closes.
Same thing happens every time.

I'm new to Xcom modding, am I missing something?
I have a few mods only, mostly quality of life mods, so I don't think those are causing problems. Also I'm using AML, so in theory it should tell me if I need something else to work.

Anyone any ideas?
