FAQ

Do i need to start a new campaign for this?

Yes!

I only see the first 4 ability rows and can't scroll in the promotion screen!

DEACTIVATE THE FOLLOWING MODS SINCE THEY ARE ALREADY INTEGRATED IN THIS MOD

  • [WOTC] Detailed Soldier Lists
  • [WOTC] New Promotion Screen by Default
  • View Locked Skills - Wotc

After that delete %User\Documents\My Games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame\Config

Will custom class mods work with this?
Yes

What about Faction Heros, SPARKS, Psi Soldiers?
They are not touched by this mod and should work normally

My soldier keep getting promoted to basegame/other classes?
Its a strange bug cause by the config system for some people.
Use the mod [WOTC] Disable Any Class GTS Redux and disable all classes but UniversalSoldier in the ingame mod options.

I have a lot of plugins and the promotion screen skips specializations when scrolling
Use [WoTC] Row-Based Scrolling Speed Wotc
or consider using the second wave options to limit the available specs.

What does CV/MG/BM/CG/LS mean?
Conventional, Magnetic, Beam, Coil and Laser tier

Mod compatibility
Most mods should be compatible. If you have an issue let me know.
Other Overhaul mods like MINT and A Better Barracks obviously clash in some areas.

Known incompatibilities:
- [WOTC] Detailed Soldier Lists
- [WOTC] New Promotion Screen by Default
- View Locked Skills - Wotc
- "Configure Upgrade Slots" doesnt work cause this mod set all slots to 3
- "Hack Plus" leads to insane high hacking stats

A note on the beta status
This mod will change frequently.
Therefor it might be needed that you rebuild you soldiers.
Use the command RPGO_RebuildSelectedSoldier for that purpose.

I am getting a message that secondary weapons is set to run before rpgover haul so rpg overhaul will not run,

Anyone know if there is a way to see the random options that are available in a run? i get the random pool to 20 but i get always the same 5/10 and change every run.

I was still having an issue with soldiers automatically promoting to classes instead of letting me pick traits and I found an issue that might be plaguing other people if you use this mod:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=623935276

If you have that mod and are still experiencing auto-promotions go into the mod settings in-game and disable "Units can level up outside of missions". They'll still gain xp as normal and will 'store' promotions but they won't auto-promote.

FOR ANYONE HAVING ISSUES PICKING THE CLASS/ORIGIN TRAITS!:

if you have the community promotion screen mod, DISABLE IT! it RPGO has its own baked in! even if you have a mod that needs it disable it. been fighting with this issue all day just to find out it was that

So is this mod compatible with Amalgamation Classes, I am currently using them together, and only experience the odd issue, of a class using swords for skills but not having a sword main weapon, only a secondary, and then being unable to choose a primary secondary, despite having that mod, for that class. Or some psionic classes, not having access to focus, or mana to use their skills, like having a knuckleduster + flamemancer + etc not being able to use their psionic skills. But I don't know if that is an rpgo issue, or some other missing prerequisite. My question is whether or not this mod works with Amalgamation classes?

OK, it's been ages since I did a RPGO campaign and I didn't have it running like you describe. That's why I guessed the campaign options.

@Dragon32
I think so? all i remember is every squaddie would get two random perks and a huge list of different perks they can get in that rank, ive tried doing the advanced options before starting a campaign but cant do it again so im not exactly sure. I probably dont make much sense tbh
Dragon32 Mar 22 @ 5:44am 
@GLH212
So all rookies can choose from all specialisations when promoted? I think that would be set with the campaign's Second Wave options. See the pinned Discussion. afaik that's at campaign start only.
GLH212 Mar 22 @ 5:10am 
how do you get the random 2 perks on promotion to squaddie with the huge list of perks to choose from? i keep getting classes and limited perks :PEAKsob:
