is this good with Lwotc?

Thx for your help. I'll see if there is any problems.

@Mask
I guess not then. It's not going to be exactly the same though, they're different mods.

Yeah I did and the line I should remove doesn't exist. So there is nothing I should do right?

@Mask
I misunderstood what you wrote. DABFL is derived from Diverse Alien Pods not a clone of it. You'd need to compare its .ini to what's written here.

Am I searching for the wrong folder then? I can't find the lines. Could you guide me to the folder where I should remove these lines?

@Mask
I'd say to still use it.

Mm. There is no line you mentioned in Diverse Aliens By Force Level WOTC. Is it not necessary now?

Does this work alongside UECP?

LWotC compatible?

By all accounts, you seem to be the only person to report this issue. If others are not suffering with issues regarding the mod's purpose or experiencing issues upon uninstalling it, then it has to be on your end. Therefore, there is nothing more to discuss. Being hostile doesn't help your case or solve the problem. Nor does it gain you any respect from the modding community, who are willing to help in nearly any situation.

I am sorry you do not like the mod and are having issues. Hopefully, they will be resolved with a fresh reinstall and mod purge.

@Paw Paw hmm okay that was a very odd response, have a good one, the way this mod works literally can not break your game, source: I modded this game extensively, its legitmately impossible

but ya know "Facts don't care about your feelings Paw Paw" ;)

Personally, I have used this mod for many different campaigns and test runs. I haven't experienced any issues with it. In fact, I would say this mod has improved the gen game and recommend it to anyone. Since I tend to save the story missions for later (FL 7 to 13 for the Blacksite) due to my game's difficulty, its nice to have equal level enemies in those earlier missions. That's really all this mod does.

If you are experiencing issues, you might need to do a config clean or purge your modlist. Sometimes, the workshop doesn't remove all of the mod when you unsub. That is a common Steam Workshop issue. Finally, using the AML is very helpful in that situation. Its almost required now with how the default launcher causes a lot of problems.

Just a disrespectful mod user who broke their game and blamed it on the modders

@Nightsail
I'm partway through my second campaign with this mod (so far of the golden path missions I've only done the Blacksite).

That said I don't recognise your description of the mod. What makes it unbalanced as fuck?

@MrShadowCX Will this work with the "advent to galactic empire" conversion mod? And by that, i mean that will the new pods be composed of the conversion star wars equivalent of the base game units? Or it wont work with the conversion mod? Thanks

I have been using this mod for my last few campaigns. I find that it grossly unbalanced the Shadow Chamber mission.

There are a large number of aliens in this mission. But vanilla has a large number of them as Chysalids. Not exactly the most dangerous of late game aliens. The mod replaces them with multiple Andromodons, Mutons, Berserkers, Archons, Heavy MECS.

Anyway, with this mod, Shadow Chamber becomes the toughest mission in the game.

I wonder if this theoretically makes, say, the Blacksite easier if you rush it since the enemies will forcibly all be Force Level 1.

I am not sure if Avatar Project Reworked or this mod caused this problem, but completing the Blacksite mission did not reduce the progress of the Avatar Project.

im in the middle of campaign, can i remove ABC and turn on this mod? Im specially interested in last GP mission, do you think your mod is harder then ABC, at least in last mission?

Awesome, thanks.

it will work fine

Is this compatible w/ Diverse Aliens By Force Level? Any ini changes needed like with Diverse Alien Pods?

Thank you.

Yes

Is it works normal with "LEB's Lategame Enemies"?

No worries, thanks.

not off hand no

I love to have a go at modding xcom 2, but I have limited bandwidth (since the SDK is a huge size).

You must be busy with all the great mods (and yet to coming ones). Is there a template or instruction for cloning a commander with all the skills from the last mission?

no

Thank you for your reply.

I can't remember much of the final mission since I haven't played xcom 2 for the last 9 months , though I finished the game few times already.

Is it difficult to clone a commander?

The problem is story wise, the commander doesn’t quite get his Avatar upgrade until just before the final mission. So it wouldn’t quite fit the story.

Hi Archmage of Xcom, is it possible to make the commander available sooner? It is kinda wasted because he/she only appears in one mission only.

Just say the commander needs to have some practice runs before the final big mission.

I asked Deadput (who also has a new outfit for the commander) few days ago, but he is not familiar with script.

Are you playing with any other mods that add new enemies or any of the ABA mods?

Care to explain what you mean by didnt appear? The Seccond Avatar spawned in and didnt have any followers you mean?

Did a playthrough with this. I guess its the interaction of the mod with the weak pods for the vanilla versions of these missions but some of the spawned enemies, especially in the last mission, simply didn't appear. The second Avatar's escort for example. Plus in the whole final mission, while Avatar #3's escort were all mod enemies, all other spawned and patrolling enemies appeared to be the mandated weaklings.

I know. I meant the pods that spawn in will be as big as lost swams.

you dont fight lost in the final mission

Ouch, I might have to adjust the pod size settings before going on the final mission then. Otherwhise reinfocements the size of lost swarms will pour through those gates every turn XD

Yes to all.

If I'm reading this right, this mod makes it so that the enemies that come through the portals in the final mission will no longer be "3 faceless, 3 codex, 3 cryssalids" etc, but rather roll every enemy that spawns individually from the full enemy list, including modded enemies.

Does it change the number of enemies that come through those portals in any way (or allow pod size modifyers to change those numbers)?

Thanks for the answer @Shadow.

it should be yes

@MrShadowCX would you happen to know if this mod is compatible with [WOTC] Increase Pod Size By Force Level?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1550396115

It has a similar function as Diverse Alien Pods but also adds a configurable incremented increase in od sizes.

small update top a few of the mission spawn lists to allow even more randomness


if you happen to be using the Diverse Alien Pods mod and want the Golden Path Missions to continue to allow a better mix of enemies youll need to go into that mods ini file and delete these lines and save.

+BarredMissionNames="SabotageAdventMonument"
+BarredMissionNames="RecoverFlightDevice"
+BarredMissionNames="AdventFacilityBLACKSITE"
+BarredMissionNames="AdventFacilityFORGE"
+BarredMissionNames="AdventFacilityPSIGATE"
+BarredMissionNames="CentralNetworkBroadcast"
+BarredMissionNames="AssaultFortressLeadup"
+BarredMissionNames="DestroyAvatarProject"
+BarredMissionNames="TutorialRescueCommander"
+BarredMissionNames="TestingMission"
+BarredMissionNames="DefeatHumanOpponent"

Thanks for the update, I'm using Diverse Alien Pods but I hadn't noticed any problem as I'd only got as far as the Black Site mission. That worked splendidly though.

Are there any issues with using this mod on a game I've already started? Thanks!

this mod does not have a pod modifier

Does this mod also have a pod modifier like the one from ABC? I use more enemies aside from the ones from ABA, but I really would like to have that feature.

Alright, thank you. Somebody should report him in that case. I mean seriously, it might be nice to have those difficulties on the game, but if you do not give credit to the actual modders or ask their permission, then it is so not worth it and is pathetic.
