Commander's Choice [WOTC & Vanilla]

Description
This mod is compatible with both Vanilla XCOM 2 and War of the Chosen.
The mod may be marked as incompatible with War of the Chosen. This can be ignored. The mod is classified as a vanilla xcom mod to maintain cross-compatibility.

Commander's Choice
Commander's Choice lets you set the class of any Rookie who is ready to rank up to Squaddie.

Any rookie ready for promotion will have a Commander's Choice button in the Armory Soldier Menu.
By Default Commander's Choice disables the Promotion Button for Rookies on the After Action screen (screenshot 3).
The Promote button on the Armory screen can optionally be disabled as well. This behavior can be customized in the ini.

The Commander's Choice button will only appear for Rookies that have earned but not yet received a promotion.
The PsiOps and Spark classes are not supported, for lore and mechanical reasons. The Commander's Choice button will not appear for these classes.
All other class, including custom classes, are supported. The only requirement is that the class be available to rookies for promotion.

The mod works, but it doesn't give me every class that i have as an option, few are missing and don't show up on the selection screen, any ideas anyone?

It is not working for me, is there any known compabillity issues with other mods? I have over 20 installed.

Also, what is the directory for Linux?

Thanks to Tyronius, this worked:

/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/688405905/CommandersChoice.XComMod

Open it in notepad and add RequiresXPACK=true to the bottom and save

Also worked on my current ironman save. It looks like the steps after that are already done by the mod.

Not working any update?

The mod works from what I know until you add custom classes such as the tank and the heavy gunner mods not sure what breaks the mod but pretty sure that is the cause of it not working

It is a cool mod, but when soldiers are selected to be found in missions or scans, they are assigned a random class rather than the one in the character pool.

this mod is broken
