Tactical Flyover

Description
First Full Release

Don't load a game during a flyover, and you'll be all good.

Massively configurable
check steamapps\workshop\content\268500\657304953\Config\XComFlyoverTimings.ini
If you make changes, back up the ini file


Setup
  • Squad View
  • Button in the UI. Click this to view your squad up close. It'll pan around the unit you have selected. Check config to change timings.

  • Tactical Overview
  • By default, it's enabled as an ability for Corporals or higher. You can change this in the config.
  • Disables itself after the first turn (you can turn this off)
  • You can also craft an item (unlocked alongside battle scanners) which lets you do it any time.
  • It'll tag explodable items on the map
  • It'll draw borders around the map perimeter.

Notes
  • The Ability will only appear after you've been to the avenger. No way to jack new abilities into the middle of a battle, I'm afraid.
One of the transitions (flyover) is still a little janky. I'm working on it.

Video is updated.

why has no one attached this to a gremlin and tweaked out the jankiness yet I wonder.

so basically use the remove missing mods mod after unsubbing this mod, wait till after Shen's gift to resubscribe to this mod.

Does this ability break concealment?

Bob (my husband) and I were playing last night on his computer. Researched Shen's Last Gift (elevator scene) when we got the crashes. Bob posted the result of that research. Someone tracked the bug to "tactical flyover".

If anyone needs further help with their mods, please consider these:

I have the same problem as Frankie before me. Fortunately, the short-term deactivate.

Hi! Very nice mod, though I experienced too problem in the Tower mission - just after you send your last trooper from first map to second, game crashes. Disabling this mod fixed problem. You may wish to add this to known problems (or - better- fix it if possible).

Nice notes. No description. I can guess, but I shouldn't have to.
