Thanks EvilBob22.
I changed the values to 5 and 2, and I still haven’t seen a “Did not survive the capture” message which is fine.

But a trend is appearing that others have also mentioned. Whether I use the Fulton Harness, Assist Evac (which works like a Fulton but as an ability), or even carry the unit and evac normally, I always get the message “XCOM gained 3 points for capturing MOCX”, but nothing about the unit surviving or dying. And the unit never shows up in the Armory.

It seems like the capture roll isn’t happening at all, and no roll appears in the log of actions either.

I tried to look through the files and found references to CanBeCaptured, but I couldn’t figure out how it’s being used or enforced.

If anyone has any ideas, I’d appreciate the help. My goal is to get 100% capture, even for classes that aren’t normally usable, I don’t mind retraining them afterward if needed.

Take a look in XComDarkXCom.ini, specifically:

[DarkXCOMRedux.UnitDarkXComUtils]
RankPenalty = 13;
;this is for the new capture mechanic if you're using Maluco's extract corpses mod
;Every rank of a MOCX soldier decreases the chance of capture working by the above number
;so 87% for a squaddie, 74% for a corporal, bottoming out to a 9% for a Colonel

InjuryBonus = 2;
;adds a bonus for capturing injured units. Multiplies (Starting HP - current HP) by the above number. So a MOCX colonel that lost 19 health will have +38% chance to be successfully captured.

Lowering that rank penalty is probably the quickest way to make captures more likely, especially for higher ranked MOCX (Colonel is the 7th rank, so every - 1 to the RankPenalty is a + 7 to Colonel capture chance).

Regarding the assisted evac under mind control: I'm pretty sure that's possible. As long as you saw the popup saying they didn't survive, then it did roll the capture chance.

I also second MaXISerg’s request for an optional 100% capture setting.
Is the mod structured in a way that allows another mod to override the capture roll,
or would it require decompiling and fully rebuilding the relevant classes to change that behavior?

Also, one thing that never seems to work is mind-controlling a MOCX unit, moving them to the extraction zone, and using Assist Evac. They never survive the extraction. It would be a really nice alternative method of capturing them if that behavior could be supported.

Thanks in advance, and thank you for the great mod!

Very cool mod, but this guys are extremely op, we need a nerf or a mcm to tone them down

Is it possible to change the recruitment chance of captured fighters to 100%? I'm just tired of trying to reload missions dozens of times trying to catch them in the late stages of the game. What needs to be changed in the mod files?

hated this so much, they were appearing every single mission. Iwas still on assault rifles and they were spawning in like 15 moc X with lasers, 15-20 health, lightning reflexes, auto kill from accross the map and all kimd of squad wipe ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Try making somethign decent. azzhole.

@Soul The problem is that eTeam_One and eTeam_Two were created to be used by players in multiplayer matches. So, the code that the Advent team uses to (mostly) ignore civilians is not there. (If I'm remembering correctly, it's part of the native code, so unchangeable by modders.) Raiders and rebellious MOCX see them as part of a hostile team. And then they see that the civilian has no defense and low health making them easy kills.

Kinda wondering if theres a way to make them target civilians less,like sometime if my team is next to them,they would STILL rather hit civilians than me,or when they sometime are vs advent via rebel mocx,they also would rather shoot civilian than fight them or me.

I've been having a ton of fun with this mod, however I have one issue where MOCX *NEVER* spawn where their reinforcement flare is. They're always a few tiles off, which makes it really frustrating when they spawn inside a building instead of where they're intended to go.

Does anybody know how this might be fixed?

@khumak
You can edit a SitRep in a mod's XComGameData.ini and use the ExcludeGameplayTags to exclude other SitReps

I do that to prevent Alien Rulers from the Renegade Rulers mod spawning with feral Chryssalids from The Hive mod.

Loving this mod so far. I just wish there was a way to make it so you can't get both a raider sitrep AND a MOCX sitrep in the same mission if you're also using one or more of the raider mods. Those are brutal, especially if they both target XCOM.

My last mission was a smash and grab with both a raider and MOCX sitrep. Moved up and killed the first pod on turn 1. Turn 2 MOCX dropped on top of me and the raider group also found me and activated everything else on the map. So turn 2 I have 12 enemies to fight, all of whom decided to target XCOM. Managed to win and even capture a few MOCX but took some heavy damage.

is it just me or are the mocx guys ignoring cover when shooting my guys? they almost always hit their shots even when its from very far away behind high cover and hunkered down

FWIW I'm using this with LWOTC, A Better Advent, and SCP Raider factions and have had no issues. Capturing works for them as well with LWOTC although most of the time you kill them outright. They have to be bleeding out for you to be able to capture and sometimes they still die.

My mind controller is a sectoid, not a psi unit btw.

I tried shooting the mind controlled unit so they bled out, then captured, and that didn't work either. I tried killing my own mind controller first, then captured, and it didn't work. The one thing that's a little weird that could be messing it up is the Hunter had previously tracked the MOCX unit in question and she continued to have tracking shot modifications on her even long after the hunter was already dead.

It seems like mind controlled units cannot be captured. I used a fulton harness and it SAYS they were successfully captured but they don't appear in the armory. Any suggestions?

Even on normal WOTC it will show duplicates in the cutscene,cause it try to show the max number of possible enemy so it copy 2 mocx to show 6,tho in game it will still only be 4 mocx.
Idk if LWOTC will actually give you 6 mocx instead of 4 to fight,but the cutscene thing is normaly yeah.

Kinda fixed it by reducing the StartingSquadSize variable in XComDarkXCom.ini to 2. It's strange though because the pod still shows the 2 dupicates in the animation anyways but they get deleted somehow.

I believe LWOTC conflicts with this mod. In that, LWOTC will spawn 2 duplicates of MOCX units when they spawn in due to it inflating the unit numbers.

@RealDiehlGaming
No, just its own.

Does this use all classes in the game, modded and vanilla?

More like Theres clearly a mod conflict here rather than this mod having an issue.
Like,I have +800 mods on,like 80 of them add enemies/factions,and I got no issues.
Do the binary research and check what conflict make it crash (disable half your mods while keeping MOCX on,launch and see if it crash,if it does still,disable half again,if it doesn't,re enable half of it,and try to find what make it crash)
Also never saw MOXC come out of the purple portal,those are used by the aliens,not ADVENT,maybe check your enemy/reinforcement mods first to see if theres a conflict there

Guys, there clearly is an issue with this mode. I saw several comments here and I have to add mine. I tried playing with this mode twice, and both times with different other mods, my game would crash. Then. I disable MOCX, and the game stops crashing.
Once, it just happened mid campaign for no obvious cause. Now, it happens on a mission when MOCX is supposed to spawn out of the purple glowing portal. Is there a fix for this?

MOCX is such a perfect name

AWESOME!

@KarateEevee2018

If they are marked as "Dark VIP", yes.

Is thus mod supposed to use your character pool?

One of my favorite parts of this is that MOCX makes their own posters for their soldiers. Early on they made a poster for one of their dead soldiers. except he wasn't dead, I had captured him and when he didn't return they thought he was dead, meanwhile he's chillin as an XCOM operator now. Peak Cinema.

Wow, this mod sure has come so far.
It was posted in 2017 and is still going.

You can dl the mods plugin that add the other 2

@Lucian Lunara
It's just Skirmishers

does this mod have built in support for mocx to have their own versions of templars/reapers ? i see skirmishers but unsure of the other 2

i gave up capturing them. they r halfdead and even when tuere is time left till they die before bliding out they die when i evac a unit carrying them. (i not really know how to stun them except the bolt crossbow and thats mostly instead death bc of the high dmg this weapon do, only works on a few robot units bc of high hp)

Does anyone had problems with capturing exalt agents using extract corpses? During my playthrough everything at first works like a charm and when I stun and knockout exalt agent I for example can carry agent to extraction point or using fulton from extract corpses mod to capture enemy agents. When I capture enemy agents there is usually messeage about agent being able to survive capture and for the capture I get 3 additional ablility points. And then on the avenger I can see captured agents in my roster. But it happens already second time for me when I load my save and try to capture stunned enemy agents and when I use fultion there is message that "[here should be name of the agent] was gained from capture", no message about chances for survivorablity from capture or gainig additional ap points from capture. And when I get back to avenger no enemy agent in my roster. Anyone had such problem?

If they didn't die during the capture, they are now yours. You permanently have a new soldier.

I captured one of their units what do I do with them

i tried this mod since my new play now. they r much more challanging then other fraction which appear on the battle field. i use a mandolorian squad mod and these guys r such loosers and die much too fast xD

Hey. I had my game crash on two missions now when MOCX squad tried to spawn in (via the blue glowy orb) and the only solution I had was to disable the mods connected to MOCX (I'm also using MOCX as EXALT) to finish the mission, but obviously I'd like to continue playing with the mod as I never had any issues like that in the past, so if anyone knows what to do, please let me know.

Not really, trying to get them to show up with the strCharacterName="MOCX Soldier" listed in the XcomGame in localization, I have grab the mod that changes it to EXALT but same issue, still use random gen names not the strCharacterName name.

There is a mod to use names and appearances from your character pool, is that what you are looking for? MOCX Customizer+

is there a way to set so they use class names to random generated?

OK with LWTOC, mid campaign, but I can't beat campaign after 3-4 HQ assault due to mission loading problem.
Don't know from what mod though.
　

Can this be used with LWTOC, and can it be added mid campaign? Asking for a friend.

Probably not, I use both mods together with no issue.

The crash seems to derive from fulton mod, not this mod.

Sometimes, game crashes when MOCX evac.
I have to use "end battle" command .

@bloodhorn56 This works flawlessly with LWOTC on my end

Okay yeah I just deactivated it and the crash is gone. Is there a fix?

Is there a purple orb that indicates mocx is coming. Everytime one of my missions has these my game crashes on that subsequent turn.

It should work fine with any raider mods, I've used it with several of them with no issue (MOCX spawns on the Advent team).

There can be a weird interaction if you have both The Hive and Rebellious MOCX mods: both use Team_One, so they'll end up joining forces. But, even then nothing breaks and they'll still fight raiders (who are on Team_Two), XCom, and Advent.
