The LWotc extension mod includes a XComImTheCommanderHere.ini, which tells the main mod about the custion deck names. Check there how to implent them. Your custom class mods should contain a XComClassData.ini. In there you should find the Decknames for those classes which need to be added to the config.

Question about custom classes and how to include unique skills in those classes:

I'm running I'm the Commander here, the extension and the LWotC extension, and everything has been working well. I do see a lot of skills in the Respec window, but when I tried to respec the Heavy class (Heavy for LwotC) I didn't see one of the class defining abilities in the respec list (Sunomata)

First, if you have a custom class, I'm guessing it doesn't automatically pick up extra abilities without configuring your mod to add the appropriate Deck Names for the custom class? Where DO I add the configuration? Add it to one of your mod or extension mod config files? Add an additional XComImTheCommanderHere.ini to the new classes config folder?

Basically, how do we do this if some of the abilities are not included in the standard LwotC class decks?

Not sure whats wrong, I am able to respec but in missions they swap back to original ability.

It was Stealth, and I found out you posted a mod for LWOTC which is what I play so I made some modifications in the config and it worked, all good :D

Is the ability really called Stealth and not Phantom?

Hey! Idk if you can help me here in the comments, but I use the extension and I tried to add a perk to the skirmishers (the stealth which grants you concealment as long as enemies don't detect you), so I duplicated the line that added the supression perk to skirmishers and replaced "Supression" by "Stealth" which is what you use for the Templars, and it doesnt work. I tried many different perks and it doesnt appear when I use the command "RespecSelectedSoldier" or when I search through the Respec button. Is there a way you can help me? Thx in advance :)

good it worked out for you :)

oh wow...... i found a simple solution for what i was really looking for which wasn't adding in new abilities necessarily but having access to all abilities possible from my xcom pool. all i did was add in tiers 5-7 for all the classes in the lwotc extension for this mod and it did what i wanted. whew that was easier that i thought it would be.

err.... actually there is apparently a random ability deck for each class but i think I will have to fumble around to get what I want to happen with that...

if im reading the xcomclassdata file correctly then it either adds or replaces the random deck abilties but it's really odd since each soldier class has access to a different pool of xcom abilities at least as far as i can tell from looking at my soldiers..... I will attempt to add all possible abilities to the tedjam version since it seems to be overriding and see if they show up unless I should hope that the abilities will show up if I add them to the the lwotc mod file.... wish me luck i guess

u might wanna check if any clasmods adds additional decks. If so they need to be added to the config. Check the extension mod for LWTOC on how to do that.

they are unfortunately not available with the mods I am currently using. I am on LWOTC and tedjam. I assume that tedjam screws with it but I don't know how it messes it up. I do notice that the available abilities are widely different between the different classes for some reason. like on one class ill see 18 abilities or so and on another ill see nearly 30 (estimate because I didn't count them out).

all allbilites from a rnd deck should be pickable by default

any idea how to make all the abilities in the random deck available? the setting that allows a lot more abilities doesn't address what i'm looking at. I'm guessing i have to add each individual ability to something but that could be completely wrong....

update: i found a solution. very simple luckily. idk if community promotion screen mod is a dependency i missed. regardless, downloading that mod solved the issue completely!

ig since in vanilla WOTC, accessing the new promotion screen requires pressing the "train" button in your AwC and scrolling down to the soldier you wanted to view — unfortunately you were not allowed to select sparks from that list, so sparks were locked out from viewing that menu.

in other words, this mod successfully unlocks AwC abilities for sparks, gives AP and a respec button as intended. works perfectly. however, you can't actually access that screen and see any of it, unless you have another mod to force it open.

ahh, that seems so obvious now but i certainly would've missed that otherwise. thank you for explaining it!

if you recruited the spark before installing this mod it won't get it retroactive. Try recruiting a new spark. If that also doesn#t work delete your config folder and restart teh game twice then recruit a new spark.

:3 clumsy, i can't train my spark and it doesn't have AP, in the XComClassData.ini, "bAllowAWCAbilities=1" should mean it's enabled ;(

it turns out i accidentally had spark awc ability mod enabled, but still nothing after having turned that off. i kinda doubt that both mods disabled each other... but idk

If using the AML (and you should be!) just right-click the mod and select >go to folder
then you will find them in the \config folder

Hi~ Could anyone tell me where the mod config files are??

This mod is amazing good!

AWESOME MOD! for those bros playing LWOTC, please subscribe mods in the description!

Fix confirmed!

sparks should be fixed

@NitroXpreSs
U are correct there is still a problem with the owned abilties for sparks. After deleting the decks from the config I got the abilties in the middle, but the left side is still buggy. I have to work now I check it out later.

Lwotc user now need to subscribe to Void smasher extension mod for full functionality.

Made an extension mod specifically configured to work with LWOTC. Mod contains xLWOTC=true setting by default and all Rank and Tier decks for all classes.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3485092177

Deleted the LWotc Deck lines and nothing changed. =[

I will move the LWotc stuff to a different mod like the vanilla extension mod. then it should be better for both parties to handle stuff.

Oh ok ok I think I got it nvm, lemme see if it works

I'll be happy to check. Can you please tell me which line to delete specifically? I'm not really good at this..

I found the problem I think. LWotc and Vanilla share the same classname for sparks. If you go into the config and comment out / delete the decks for sparks it should go back to normal.

ok the function that checks sparks got messed during the updates, I take a look at it tomorrow.

if it's in vanilla I check one of my older saves.

Hi Dare. I just wanted to report a bug I think may be a result of some recent updates. I have been using your mod for years now with no problems, this only popped up very recently. I play vanilla and the issue is that Sparks have an entire extra row of cross-class skills ATM. I'll try to explain to the best of my abilities but please don't hesitate to ask for a screenshot if my explanation is too hazy.

Essentially what happens now is that apart from the three horizontal rows of skills i.e. SPARK class specific FUTURE COMBAT, WAR MACHINE and cross-class XCOM - the Training center abilities you can buy/unlock show up BELOW the XCOM row essentially giving sparks 10 slots but not allowing you to switch/buy different skills anywhere but the extra row now. I tried to retrain my spark to see if it would change anything - still the same. The rest of the classes work as intended.

@QQ小冰 That happens if you run the mod with LWOTC having xLWOTC = false in the mod config XComImTheCommanderHere.ini which is set to false by default, and resets to false every time the mod get updated. I specifically tested LWOTS Sparks and they are fine as other classes.

@QQ I take a look at it.

Thank you for such a quick resolution! Updated, had to set lwotc = true in the ini file. Tested and it works now!

I have a bug feedback here, Spark cannot select skills anymore, it's all question marks, including skills that have already been learned

LWOTC "Rank" and "Tier" decks.

If you check LWOTC config XcomClassData.ini you could find definitions of those decks, such as DeckName="Rank1_XComAbilities" which contains pool of abilities that is used to generate a Rank 1 personal ability. Same with Rank 2 and so on to Rank 7. However, above "Rank" decks you could find DeckName="Tier1_XComAbilities" with "Tiers" from 1 to 4. This is the old deck system that is not used for character generation by LWOTC since late last year. "I am the Commander here" mod, however, provide you an ability to use abilities from unused decks as they mentioned in the XComImTheCommanderHere.ini config file.

If you need to customize abilities available for your LWOTC classes and want to have even more abilities to choose from you need to customize your LWOTC XcomClassData.ini. Just add what you like to any DeckName="Rank1_XComAbilities" of any class and these abilities will appear in the respec screen of the "I am the Commander here" mod.

Tested tier decks for templar, skirmisher and reaper with the latest update. Now they works.

uploaded a fix for herosoldiers - steam says it's still being processed though. remember to recheck xLWotc=true in the config.

can u of u 2 provide a screenshot?

Tested setting xLWOTC = true in the XcomImTheCommanderHere.ini, and as of the most recent update for his mod it no longer shows any abilities available for faction heroes, and some abilities are missing for standard heroes. Anybody find a way to resolve this?

Goodmorning, I am having some trouble with the mod, I have 6 perk slots that I can modify, but the showed "equipped perks" are all jumbled perks that aren't equipped and selecting a new perk out of the list, does not make that perk equipped. I have a screenshot that I can show to help make it a bit more clearer

@Dare Thanks a lot for updating the mod!

@Shaider Because mod updated you need to edit config again to set xLWOTC = true.

In the latest mod version there is a combination of old and new LWOTC decks so there is a lot of perks now. This is unfair however. :) So if you wanted to play in the way LWOTC devs are designed their classes, better comment Tier lines in the XComImTheCommanderHere.ini config of the mod.

could u accept my friend request, a quick chat might resolve this faster

EDIT: But a lot of perks still missing, like "Run and Gun" with Specialist

Yes, I have "false" again. Thank you for the fast response
