Description
About This Mod
This is a helper UI that is applied to the Class Selection screen, both the standard one promoting through the GTS and the one in the barracks when using Choose My Class. The purpose behind this UI is to break down what specs are in your barracks versus what is available. As well as helping remember what kind of primary/secondary weapons you can use.

Requirements

Compatibility
Comes with built-in compatibility for [WOTC] Stats on New Promotion Screen

Thanks
  • h4ilst0rm and TePª for the Amalgamation pack.
  • AstralDescend, RustyDios, shiremct, and anyone else I referenced or copy/pasted code from to figure out this whole UI nonsense.
  • XpanD for his console commands which helped make things easier.

This is an awesome mod. I wish there was something like this for non-Amalgamation classes. This feels like a better version of Show All Class Counts if you're using a lot of custom classes

@XpanD I added these lines to amalgamation.int, and it works. Thank you very much. Amazing how fast and easy you get help in here, and not for the first time :)

That means that those mods don't ship the correct localization entries for those weapon types. Should be an easy fix for the spec makers if you report the issue to them. (provided they're still updating)

If you want to work around the issue locally for the time being, check out how other mods with custom weapon categories do their localization. They'll have a "Localization" folder that contains a "Amalgamation.int" file, which will have something along these lines in it: (at the bottom)

[UIWeaponCat]
psiamp="Psi Amp"

You can copy that over to affected specs, change the values to cover your categories, and everything should work on the next launch.

I run over 50 amalgamation classes. This mod works perfectly fine (and is great!) except for there classes, the Pharmacist (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2780581653) , Electro Wizard (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3453584102) and Psion (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2852650774) .

The name of the weapons is not shown. Instead it sais:
?DEU?Amalgamation.UIWeaponCat.stimgun? (for Pharmacist)
?DEU?Amalgamation.UIWeaponCat.psiamp (for Psion and ElectroWizard)

Any idea someone?

Maybe there are more classes with this issue, I am still at the beginning of the campaign. But the problem seems to be the same.

Not at this moment. Feel free to reuse anything you find in this mod if you want to make your own version of this for more traditional classes.

Hi. Seems like a very useful mod. Are you going to make such mod which could be used with every other classes?

@Mr.Nuke Try pulling the new build I just pushed. I hard disabled anything related to overriding the GTS so it should hydrate now.

I disabled this mod and re-enabled xylths gts and now i'm limited to 6 choices even though I put 64 in config. Also when I enable the band-aid no crashes but no classes appear in the UI window. Ever. I'd rather use this one.

There are plans eventually to have this mod do similar things as Xylith's GTS, but for now that is the only way to keep the GTS from bombing out with large number of specs. There is a threshold though for how many Xylith's can handle, hence why I have plans for this to offer an even larger band-aid.

This mod doesn't do anything with the GTS, it just adds stats and spec/weapon info to the Choose My Class rookie class picker.
