Maybe is already responded, but is LWoTC compatible? Is the protection protocol bug fixed? Ty

Ballistic Vests doesn't appear to be doing anything. I thought it might be a compatibility issue with WotC Vest Slot (https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1293714688) , which you might be interested in patching for either way, but my soldier also doesn't benefit from additional armour when equipping vests in his utility slots.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I can't get the Protection Protocol to work either, no matter how high I set the duration. It's set to end on *any* player turns and I don't know how to get rid of that.

Another thing: After killing an alien that you've challenged with the Challenge ability, it raises all nearby soldiers' maximum will by 20. Then when it ends, it removes that maximum *as well as* removing an additional 20 will. Meaning if a soldier in a mission has 40/40 will, killing the challenged alien raises it to 60/60, then after it ends you end up with 20/40.

Not great.

@bstar & @Rtma Eros Paragon: I'm having the same issue, where I select the protection protocol, and then it says "removed" before an enemy attacks, in my case the Lost

What's the code for this Tank class if I were to use it to force a soldier to be this specific class?
bstar  [author] Jun 11, 2020 @ 7:20am 
Pretty sure that is not the case.
Rtma Eros Paragon Apr 14, 2020 @ 4:23am 
Tier 1 Tanklin protection protocol is useless, the shielding ends on your own turn.
Dr.NDL Dec 20, 2019 @ 9:42am 
ok got it thanks.
bstar  [author] Dec 20, 2019 @ 9:20am 
If you want to use the actual class, yes. If you wanna use the skills of the tank class with RPG Overhaul, then no.
Dr.NDL Dec 20, 2019 @ 6:56am 
oh ok. then to use the tank class i need to remove this mod?
bstar  [author] Dec 20, 2019 @ 1:16am 
This isn't a class. It's a specialisation plugin for RPGO. You need all required mods. If you installed the mod mid campaign, you need to rebuild the soldiers you want to use the spec on.
Dr.NDL Dec 19, 2019 @ 7:51pm 
the class does not show up in the rookie training selection does this mod work for WOTC TL pack?
TROCH22 Sep 5, 2019 @ 9:19am 
I don't think so.. If I remember correctly the soldier uses the but of his weapon
FAT WANZER Sep 3, 2019 @ 9:42am 
excuse me,do we need melee weapon equipped in order the tanklin free melee attack on enemy to be activated?
The Former Jun 24, 2019 @ 11:01pm 
Can confirm that as well. Looking forward to playing with the update, I've yet to use Resilience. :)
bstar  [author] Jun 24, 2019 @ 4:42pm 
Huh, that's weird. Was sure I'd fixed that in the last update - but I guess not! Update will be out up shortly.
endersblade Jun 24, 2019 @ 4:04pm 
The resilience perk is missing its long description.

Nevermind! False alarm, the issue was that I was fixing issues on a running game. All I had to do was re-initialize squaddies who'd promoted before I fixed everything and it all shows up fine now. :)
The Former Jun 10, 2019 @ 7:04pm 
I hate to bother you with this, as I can't be sure it's on your mod's end at all, but... I've started using RPGO recently and your plugin was one of the ones I just HAD to have. Unfortunately, now that I've finally gotten just about everything working, yours is about the only one I DON'T have.

Basically what's happening is I'm not seeing your specializations show up on the list. I've got the Tanklin, just none of the specs. Made sure to get the WOTC Tank Class mod, too. Any idea what's going wrong, as a shot in the dark?
bstar  [author] Jun 3, 2019 @ 5:23am 
Okay, so you didn't have any problems with abilities not working? No offense, but I'm not sure why you're asuuming perks that don't mention the Tanklin require it. Do you want me to add "Doesn't require the Tanklin secondary weapon" to every single ability that doesn't need it? To answer your question: No, Team Shield does not need a Tanklin.

IF you find something not working as described, please report it.
Search Jun 3, 2019 @ 3:05am 
I was thinking in theory more than actually tested as I find some of these perks a little confusing. I can see that Ever Safe would require a Tanklin as you need it for protection protocol. What other perks here require it? Does team shield require a Tanklin or is it an ability done by the solider? I feel like if a specific secondary weapon is required for perk it should state it in the perk description.
bstar  [author] Jun 3, 2019 @ 2:26am 
Could you please tell me the exact loadout of the soldier and which abilities are/are not useable? Which perks in particular are you talking about? Tanklin-specific perks are not designed to be used with a Gremlin. Otherwise, why would you use a Tanklin?
Search Jun 3, 2019 @ 2:19am 
It would be great if abilities stated if they require the tanklin. When building a tank class that uses a shield some abilities here probably are not useable? Can any of these abilities also be used with the Gremlin?
bstar  [author] Apr 21, 2019 @ 1:41am 
Thanks for reporting the bug. However, I don't see how that would have anything to do with the Tank. To my knowledge, the class doesn't touch pistols, pistol skills or primary secondaries in any way at all. I'll have a look when I have time though.
VanquilKnight Apr 21, 2019 @ 1:33am 
For more background, whenever im in a mission, the Lightning Hands skill will be unavailable as "Insufficient Ammo" and i cant use it for the duration of the mission on a soldier that has a primary secondary, like a pistol. When i turned both the base mod of the Tank Class and it's specialization off and started the new campaign, the skill worked again.

Even i am a bit puzzled as to why that's the case though again, im just stating my observation of a bug.
VanquilKnight Apr 21, 2019 @ 1:28am 
Im only stating what ive observed. Since when i turned off the Tank Class and started a new campaign, the Lightning Hands skill worked. I also am about to send my observation to Musashi.
bstar  [author] Apr 20, 2019 @ 11:40pm 
Ugh - what does have to do with the tank class plugin? I'm also not the author of primary secondaries.
VanquilKnight Apr 20, 2019 @ 8:07pm 
So i encountered a bug where Lightning Hands will not work when Primary Secondaries is installed also. You might want to look into that.

How complicated would it be to make the secondary item icon (the tiny ones, when looking at the View Soldiers list/full roster, between the Intelligence and Bond icons) use the gremlin icon? I wouldn't mind doing it myself if it can be done without extensive knowledge or tools. It just shows the generic placeholder 'img' icon for me and I'd like to at least slap in the preexisting gremlin icon in there.
Abdulla Babulla Oct 29, 2018 @ 4:13am 
@bstar Yes, this is exactly what I meant. Looking forward to it =)
bstar  [author] Oct 29, 2018 @ 3:56am 
@Vulpes Maybe - You mean the functionality added by "Utility Slot Sidearms", right? I can take a look at it, not sure when I'll get around to it though :)
Abdulla Babulla Oct 29, 2018 @ 3:51am 
The Tanklin cannot be equipped as a utility item same way the GREMLIN can be. Is it possible to fix that?
Darkstar Sep 20, 2018 @ 5:12pm 
@tran.bronstein: You can just use RebuildSelectedSoldiersClass from the Additional Console Commands mod instead of starting over.
happyfungi Sep 20, 2018 @ 1:43pm 
K's Officer Class would also be a welome addition to RPGO. Since you are willing to look at other classes.
Goatmaster3000 Sep 20, 2018 @ 1:18am 
This is actually a pretty unique addition to RPGO.
tran.bronstein Sep 19, 2018 @ 7:09pm 
Confirmed, bstar. A new campaign start will be required. It was conflicting with the supplemental Doorkicker and Pistolier limited skill trees but a new campaign has both Survival Tank and Battle tank skill trees assigned appropriately on their own separate levels.
tran.bronstein Sep 19, 2018 @ 6:53pm 
FYI Another possible conflict between plugins, this time with Iridar's Akimbo class. Your two Tank Skill Trees show but actually display his supplementary skill tree skills. One of them if I recall is Pistolier. I will try a new game and see if the conflict is still there and will report back.
tran.bronstein Sep 19, 2018 @ 6:15pm 
More great work. Thanks bstar.
Mister Gruffle Sep 19, 2018 @ 4:50pm 
Another class subbed, more perks to confuse myself with.... SIgh! You aren't making thise easy on me. Cheers ;)
dja808 Sep 19, 2018 @ 3:24pm 
Thanks for continuing to do these, they are awesome! Staying tuned, really hoping for Field Medic, Kaskrin, or Shocktrooper.
