Did you guys ever found out how to disable helmets on avenger?

@vulgar_monkey fully agree. I've been trying to find a mod that forces soldiers NOT to wear armor on the Avenger, as that's an issue with many helmet mod packs. I can confirm this is not specific to only faction soldiers.

I like this mod, but a different issue is the armor on the Avenger looks odd on some classes (notably Skirmisher and Templar as they don't simultaneously have their Ripjack and Gauntlet equipped at the same time and it causes those sections of their body to be missing or armor-less).

I use a different similar mod to this (AllArmorAvenger) that allows them to have armor equipped on the Avenger but also adds a left/right arm texture you can use so the Templar looks normal. And for the Skirmisher I use a forearm texture from another mod. Everyone at least looks uniform this way

Not sure what happened but it only works for the helmets now.

@ vulgar_monkey i'd like to know a mod that does that too, half my squaddies are drinking beer with their balaclavas on.

One Steam tag should be sufficient!

War of the Chosen

NOT war of the chosen!
NOT WotC!

God bless you brother !

I'm wondering - is there any way to force the game to have soldiers NOT wear armour on the avenger? Specifically I am thinking of the head/face decos from certain modpacks that sometimes show up, so you often see troops wandering around in their off-duty jumpsuits and a big ghillie hood for no reason (for example).

I know that is the exact opposite of this mod but thought there might be related code.

edit: Hmm, although now I think of it, the last instance of this I noticed was affecting a Reaper, so might be a case of the faction-specific issue I have seen mentioned elsewhere.

THANK GOD FOR THIS MOD! I have a few Halo Sangheili and a few Mass Effect Aliens who keep defaulting to the "PJs" and it breaks immersion to see there heads just float.
Conefed Apr 7, 2022 @ 7:18pm 
Request: % chance to wear armor. Didn't realize how much I'd miss the pjs
Vegeta002 Nov 18, 2021 @ 6:44am 
Is there a way to make this keep their armour on the Avenger, except for the helmet?
BottomScorer Oct 1, 2021 @ 1:43pm 
Please add new Steam tag "War of the Chosen" here.
storm_kensho Sep 16, 2021 @ 8:57pm 
It'd be cool if you could design two separate outfits for your soldiers: One for the field and the other in the Avenger.
Sinapus Jan 2, 2021 @ 11:04am 
Okay, finally got it working again. Turns out one mod seems to affect this one and Point-Based Not Created Equal for some reason. Didn't really need it so removed it and both this mod and the other started working. Yay. Doubt I'll add more mods. (Yeah, that'll be as likely to follow as my New Years Resolutions are.)

(It was Fortress protects against Frost Damage or something like that.)

works:) except for gym and bunkroom odd:/ unless thats intended:)
AdamGoodtime Dec 14, 2020 @ 6:59pm 
To everyone having a problem with this: try changing your graphics settings in options (you can change it back later), quitting the game, and then loading your save.

This worked for me. I learned this from the Full Crew Avenger mod, so credit to Mertius.
LeMarteau Dec 12, 2020 @ 10:10pm 
Same quesiton as thefinalstrife3 regarding the VIPs.
Sinapus Nov 30, 2020 @ 2:10am 
Just tried it out and my soldiers are definitely showing up in the armor I set for them. So it's working on my game at least.
Sinapus Nov 29, 2020 @ 12:39pm 
I have the Unrestricted Customization and it lets my soldiers use all the mods and such, but when on the Avenger they show up not wearing the outfits I set up for them. They wear variants of the crew jumpsuit, though they *do* seem to have the armor color scheme for them.

This mod is supposed to make them wear whatever custom outfits you've set for them while on the Avenger.
Ghost Oct 1, 2020 @ 12:17pm 
somehow it stopped working for me.
now i have headless Soldiers running around.
anyone knows a fix?
lil carmine Sep 29, 2020 @ 10:57am 
they dont appear aboard the avanger now
DonYohKu Aug 8, 2020 @ 8:15am 
Someone im sure asked this before but is there a way to make ViPs in the avenger wear armor too? like scientists and engineers?
The Infinite Archiver Aug 10, 2019 @ 8:34am 
For a quick-fix workaround of the Templar's Gauntlets:

There are several overall cosmetic mods that grant Left/Right/Both Arms cosmetics, such as the Tactical Legacy Pack/Resistance Warrior Pack/Anarchy Pack, which are mods by Spart:

There are also cosmetic ports of the EU/EW armors by Kablamm0fish which can be a cosmetic get-around to the Templar's missing armpieces due to his Psiblades being weapons, not armor.

迫使士兵在复仇者身上穿盔甲。
通过IsSoldier检查来捕获所有可以在游戏中使用的士兵。

Those braces, though.

Villainy aside, it would be neat if there was a "random armor" variant on this that had a percent of soldiers randomly selected to make it feel more alive (like they're coming back from missions or exercises or whatever).
ATF_Coldblooded Carebear || Feb 27, 2019 @ 6:42pm 
is there a way to disengage this for a perticular soldier type ... like the Mec trooper considering that in the avenger they look like the Floater from the Xcom EU/EW??
Chonsu Jul 30, 2018 @ 3:29pm 
I have no idea why or how, but this mod doesn't work anymore since I use MEC Trooper :/
PeaceMaker Feb 8, 2018 @ 11:40am 
Thankyou for the info, Robot10!
Cahos Rahne Veloza Jan 11, 2018 @ 4:51am 
Found a minor glitch with this mod...

Templars don't have their arms with this mod activated. Reason? Their gauntlets ARE THEIR WEAPONS therefore not part of their armour. Absolutely minor I know but a bit jarring to stare at.
Kaldin Dec 6, 2017 @ 4:25am 
@Cahos Rahne Veloza: You'd be surprised how many seem to still be oblivious to that... (even seen some commenting on a load of mods that didn't know that)
Cahos Rahne Veloza Dec 6, 2017 @ 3:00am 
@Robot10:

That is common knowledge when dealing with mods for XCOM 2 and most people on here are aware of how to purge persistent mod effects :P
Robot10 Dec 5, 2017 @ 11:29pm 
I tried to get this mod to work but had conflicts with many others, namely Robojumper's Squad Select. I like the effect this mod has but its just bugs out every other mod once I save and load my game after installing.

To anyone trying to remove conflict effects that seem to persist after this mod is uninstalled this worked for me: Delete the game config folder from \Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame\ and let the game rebuild it on the next restart. I had to redo my graphics settings but it fixed my game.
Cahos Rahne Veloza Nov 24, 2017 @ 6:09am 
I know this might not even be possible given how the game treats VIP (Engineers and Scientists) Character Pool soldiers, but I really wish these characters WOULD keep the uniform custimizations we give them instead of giving 'em the Avenger uniforms they default into wearing.
Taxman Sep 16, 2017 @ 4:49pm 
Hello, RealityMachina! Are there plans of updating this mod? Unfortunately, no matter what I do, I cannot make this mod work after my initial play through. Thalarian's fix didn't do it for me either.
Arrakhis Sep 14, 2017 @ 7:06pm 
edit: Thalarian fix appearantly worked
Arrakhis Sep 14, 2017 @ 7:05pm 
I would say the mod ahs random issue, after another load my crew not wearing armour, for some reason it so randomised =/
Thalarian Sep 10, 2017 @ 3:04pm 
No, I don't. I unsubbed from the original when WotC was released (Only kept a couple of cosmetic mods installed that didn't have texture problems) and subscribed to this one when it was released.

Unfortunately I don't know WHY it did or didn't start working, only that as soon as I made those edits to the WotC configs (While still being subbed to this version) and I loaded up a campaign in progress everyone had their armor on in the Avenger. The only two mods I subbed to between this one not working were Kasumi/Thessia.
RealityMachina  [author] Sep 10, 2017 @ 2:30pm 
...

Question: do you have the original version of this mod still subscribed? Because that literally does nothing with only this mod installed.
Thalarian Sep 10, 2017 @ 12:33pm 
Alright, might have figured it out for anyone else that's having a problem. I extracted all of the Mod files and went through the Configs and found parts missing. Here's what I inserted in order to get it working again:

Under your \Documents\My Games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame\Config:

1. Open XComEngine.ini
a. Under [Engine.ScriptPackages] put:

NonNativePackages=WearArmourOnAvenger

2. Open XComGame.ini
a. At the bottom put:

[WearArmourOnAvenger.X2DownloadableContentInfo_WearArmourOnAvenger]
DLCIdentifier="WearArmourOnAvenger"


In each of those files the Config options for anything Armour/Avenger were missing. Upon reload the mod is working for me again now.

Thalarian Sep 10, 2017 @ 10:09am 
Unfortunately didn't have that one at all, so it's something else. At this point I've reloaded all of the mods, cleared config again and even loaded the mod stand-alone, and still doesn't work properly. Wondering if something jarred thes settings. It's frustrating as I primarily play with all of Kexx's ME characters, so it's FUBAR'd a lot fo the Avenger look.

Will troubleshoot a few more things but if anyone else has any suggestions they'd be appreciated.
Marc1944 Sep 10, 2017 @ 4:05am 
Works again [WOTC] Ability Interaction Fixes caused the Issue for me
Marc1944 Sep 9, 2017 @ 9:56am 
I have the same Issue does anybody know how to fix it ?
Arrakhis Sep 9, 2017 @ 7:43am 
it only work in forst playthrough after each new game, but somehow its gone after completing enxt misison or if u save/load =/
Arkhangel Sep 9, 2017 @ 1:05am 
Same problem as Thalarian. Also noticed the bar Resistance Radio guy's stopped as well.
Thalarian Sep 9, 2017 @ 12:43am 
Is there anything in particular that could conflict with this mod?

Recently started a new game and everything has reverted back to wearing Underlays on the Avenger. I've Unsubbed/Resubbed, cleared cache, all the usual stuff and still no dice.
Arkhangel Sep 8, 2017 @ 4:09pm 
had this bug on it my current game. might be because a class mod was just changed.
Arkhangel Sep 7, 2017 @ 9:37am 
@Drak: Skirms still have their full arms, least if set to bare (at least my female Skirmisher does).

looks like it's just Templar, though as mods get updated for WoTC, that's fairly easy to fix, given they'll be compatible with the Templar, like the Tali, Shepard, Liara and so on ones already are.
Arkhangel Sep 6, 2017 @ 7:03pm 
@Drakster: little weird, given the Commando Class with the Ripjack can use normal arm options under their Grapple and Ripjack gauntlets. might check and see if it does the same thing to them.
Drakster Sep 2, 2017 @ 7:45am 
Yeah, sadly the Skirmishers and Templars forearms seem to count as weapons so they are invisible in the Avenger. Can you maybe fix this somehow RealityMachina? Without other characters having their weapons? :/
MantisUK Sep 1, 2017 @ 6:10pm 
Does not seem to work for me but I am running this aswell.
