[WOTC] Squad Manager

Description
Overview:
This mod aims to bring the squad functionality from LW2/LWOTC to vanilla WOTC. As of this moment, this is currently in BETA and things might get changed (enhanced?) in the future. For now, this is just a QoL improvement, allowing you to create and outfit squads and send them into missions. Unlike LW2/LWOTC, there are no tactical benefits associated with keeping soldiers assigned to the same squad, but in any case, feel free to use it for all your role-playing needs

Requirements:
WOTC expansion obviously
X2WOTCCommunityHighlander (any version)

Other notes:
  • While it may be installed in an ongoing campaign, I would highly recommend starting a new run. Otherwise, you may experience oddities such as not being able to assign soldiers currently on covert actions to any squads until they are back at the Avenger.
  • Based on my preliminary testing and helpful reporting by several others, it seems to be working well with Covert Infiltration. One issue currently being reported is that when deploying covert actions, the soldier/crew slots may be filled incorrectly. I am looking into a potential fix, but in the meantime, if you select another squad from the drop-down menu or manually empty the slots first, it should work properly afterwards.

Credits:
  • Pavonis Interactive for creating LW2 in the first place and extending the longevity of this wonderful game
  • Peter (LWOTC dev) who has been very patient and helpful with all my noob questions
  • The usual suspects over at the modder's discord (Iridar, robojumper, Xymanek, RustyDios and countless others) for indulging, inspiring and assisting me through this and countless other small mods that will probably never see the light of day

It's nice that the icon selector is built into this mod. :)

If you're running WotC, you've got the Highlander, and aren't running LWotC then I don't know. It worked fine for me when i tried it out.

can some help me,for some reason when i got this mod and started a new campaign the squad stuff isn't there,do I have to get the guerrilla tactics school or?
Sköll Drachen Feb 18 @ 2:05pm 
true right now my only issue is with the game itself. because every 5 minutes "commander..commander commander" i spend more time listening to them and doing what they are forcing me to do then actually playing the damn game.
RustyDios Feb 18 @ 9:50am 
or just.. use a decent mod launcher like the Alternative Mod Launcher... and never have to worry about this issue on any mod ...

Is there a way to increase the size of a squad above twelve?

@chocovascas

figured out that if i just use the old mod launcher, even tho theres a warning icon, itll load up and work fine.

new problem now is that there is no controller support. i have to save and exit, switch back to mkb in the main splash screen, and the load in order to choose a squad or edit a squad, which is not the end of the world but quite annoying.

mods barely ever worked since WOTC came out with their launcher just use the Alternate Mod Loader for Xcom
