@Dragon32 , I think it fixed the Skirmisher cohort doing the wrath/justic animation, but it still freezes. Either way though, I consider it an improvement!

No worries, happy to help.

@Dragon32 , I always feel bad seeing you answer questions that are super obvious, and now that feeling is turning inwards a little bit because I never thought to search up on the Workshop a mod that fixes animation issues. Thank you so much as always Dragon, you and many others are what gives us plebs a chance to play in a realm that would be otherwise unattainable. I'll give it a sub and will report back if it works!~

I see in the comments that other issues may crop up (e.g. Denmother which is a mod i have, but to be honest, I'll take this fix over that slight issue) .

@Cúchulainn
Is this relevant?
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2820447189

Also reporting the wrath/justice animation bug where it fires but we don't see the animation, but also it's worse for Cohorts because they just T-Pose

I know its been a bit but anyone know if you can fix the wrath/justice animation?
Also is there a way to make them able to be trained from rookie?

Might be worth it to add a GTS perk to give them a free move only action every few turns so they are encouraged to push forwards, especially with the bull pups being worse shotguns

Might be because of rpgoverhaul but I cannot have my Skirmisher learn Retribution.

@Dragon32 so how does it work trying to add it inot the ability ediotr for example

+Abilities = (AbilityName=PurifierImmunities, AddAbility[0]=PurifierRemoteStartExplosion)

in wehre do i add the WOTC_APA__RemoteStart?

@Raizen725
The Remote Start ability given by this mod is called WOTC_APA_RemoteStart so that would have to be added to the Purifier Remote Start mod. No idea if that's exposed to config editing or would need the SDK.

@zin i tried and so far all 3 them seems to apply on them

anybody had idea how to apply purifier remote start on these guys cause for some reason these guys don't show up in the remote start but the reapers does

@shiremct does this mod and the other mods you have created work for long war of the chosen

Anyone know if this is compatible with Fusion Ripjack Applies Stun, Ripjack Abilities Cause Bleeding, and Critical Skirmishing?

@kill_the_hippy

Do you have "[WOTC] Ripjack Abilities Cause Bleeding" by RustyDios? It might be incompatible.

@shiremct

Hello, can you please tell me what needs to be changed in the files so that it does not change Skirmisher?
I just need because of this mod the skills that it gives to work with another mod.

No idea, never heard anything like that before - maybe a negative trait or something? I'm doubtful it's introduced by this mod though.

My skirmisher starts the mission taking bleeding damage for 2 turns. Any idea what am I dealing with here?

When you choose Heavy Hardpoints does the wrist-mounted heavy weapon always awkwardly intersect with the grappling hook? I could use XSkin to reskin the weapon but if anything I'd like to make the grappling hook invisible if I could.

I'm honestly not sure how the faction soldiers interact with LWOTC. Try with this mod:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2884918654

Does this work with LWOTC? THis is probably answered but i just wanna make sure

Ah, I see, the description line breaks are causing the text to get pushed down. The classname (Skirmisher Cohort) is longer than the original, so my manual line breaks are pushed down to the NEXT line, pushing the Level 3 text off the page.

It should be just a text issue. I'll get a fix up shortly. Thanks!

@shiremct
In practice I don't know if it works, I'm still preparing a new game with mods like yours and CI so I didn't advance enough to test, but at least in the UI there is no Level 3 ONLY for the Cohort, Agents and acolytes have it.

https://imgur.com/a/IjXScAa

The level 1 and 2 work, but not level 3? Not heard that before - Thanks, I'll look to see if I notice anything that could be the cause.

My Skirmisher Cohorts don't have the Heatsink's Focus mechanic: Level III.
Is this intentional? or it could be a bug or UI problem

Thank you @shiremct for your mods and especially the Proficiency Class, I feel like a child in a toy store

I cant train Skirmishers despite having the GTS upgrade for it

for some reason i cant equip a ripjack on any of my skirmishers anyone ever have this issue and know a fix?

so the justice visual bug wont be fixed?

Awesome mod, been playing with this for at least 20hrs. Only thing though, the skirmisher cohorts and their (unintended) t-posing kills me every time they use justice.

I am having the same issue as tadleszcz. The skirmisher animations are fine, but the trained cohorts are t-posing when using justice and wrath. Also, I just wanted to say your mods are fantastic.

@shiremct is there any way to integrate an option to have an additional GTS upgrade to give the skirmisher a free move action, similar to the GTS upgrade from the other skirmisher class pack? I love your take on the skirmisher but i find myself wasting actions on moving rather than shooting/using the ripjack. It would also make wrath usable early on, because we would be able to take cover instead of sitting in the open once you go in

At the moment, I'm afraid there is not. I'll have to check if I tried adding animation sets to their abilities, but even the regular skirmisher has problems with visualizing these abilities sometimes.

I have a small problem with my skirmisher cohort soldier, with all the grapple or ripjack animations not working properly (for example, when I activate judge, my soldier just stands in a mighty T-pose for a couple of seconds). Is there a fix for that?

Thanks @BossAnubis69! I see in the Skirmisher one that there is a comment about removing the ";", but I actually don't see any semicolons aside from things that are obviously comments, so which ones am I supposed to remove? I changed the NumInForcedDeck, as I would like them to only be trainable. But IDK if I am supposed to still remove a semicolon from somewhere.

@Ernerd Schwerznger
I Just figured it out. You have to find the "Config/XComClassData.ini" that should be located in the proficiency class folder. Once you find it, scroll down to the Templar Acolyte, or Skirmisher Cohort part, you will have to delete the ; in front of the "Recruitable Templar Acolyte" this only allows you to create one via the character pool, if you want to train in the GTS, then change 0 in +NumInForcedDeck=0 to 1. This process is easier if you use the mod launcher because you can change the config in launcher by clicking the mod and going to config tab. You will have to do this for Skirmisher, Templar, and Reaper Proficiency. I have only tested the acolyte, but it's simply a trainable Templar. I had hoped they might have been weaker or something, but they're just as strong as a Templar just by looking at the skill tree. You can mod these values in the config of course, if you have the time, patience, and know how.

I am having the issue mentioned by Mr Penguin (I don't see a response?), that the Cohort doesn't show up in GTS. However I also don't see the Agent or Acolyte either, and I just blew all my money on those upgrades lol.

Thanks again. just trying to make a collection of mods to work with least possible conflicts.

Use Unit Flag Extended - It's an updated version of Additional Icons that automatically has built-in support for non-Templar Focus Bars.

Or you can fiddle with Additional Icon's offsets, but I recommend switching over.

@Gargak Are you using https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2204718913 ?

@shiremct

Hi, just noticed I still have the following two mods running:
Critical Skirmishing
Skirmisher Rebalance

Will these do anything with this mod installed as well? If not, is it ok to leave them in or should I remove them?

Like what you did with the mod. :-)

Hi @shiremct

Great mod.

A very strange bug has appeared, and I am not sure what is causing it.

For some reason, my Skirmisher girl is always starting off missions bleeding.

1. Mission starts.
2. She is bleeding.
3. <make moves>
4. Next turn.
5. She takes 1 damage from bleeding.
6. "Skirmisher Girl is no longer bleeding."

This only appears to have started when I took the Superheated Blades and Rip and Tear abilities.

The only thing I can think of is that her ripjack is doing something to her, because the ripjack is the only thing related to her that inflicts bleeding.

I've had an animation issue. When using Wraith, Skirmisher freezes with his arm out for a few seconds as he fires the grapple. Then he remains in position but delivers the melee strike to the target from distance.

@Lady Silentice
I've noted down ADVENT Avenger saying that mod uses a X2AmbientNarrativeCriteria hook, doing that can apparently cause problems with WotC. Try Bladestorm Customization WOTC instead.

How are you respecing the skirmisher? If you are using the base-game console command, that's a known issue. Use my Additional Soldier Console Commands mod to rebuild a soldier's ability tree without breaking the XCOM skills.

Hi. When i try to respec my skirimisher abilities from the "xcom" tier i cant see any ability to switch to, i just tried to change "flush" ability to something else but i just lost the "flush" but gained nothing in its place.

Hmm, strange - looks like that may be a pre-WOTC mod? That could be the cause of the strange behavior. Glad you found the issue!

found it!
"Bladestorm customization v2" no idea why but it overrides the cost of Marauder (among other things)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=869566977

My Marauder ability is no longer allowing the Skirmisher to shoot twice - any ideas or possible conflicts? Have tried the usual of unsub-resub and verify etc

Any idea what could be causing Justice and wrath to not visualize properly? I have a load of other mods and trying to troubleshoot which one is causing it. Where/what do I even check for that when searching mod content folders?
