If you're running WotC, you've got the Highlander, and aren't running LWotC then I don't know. It worked fine for me when I tried it out.

need update?dont work for me,sad!

It's nice that the icon selector is built into this mod. :)

If you're running WotC, you've got the Highlander, and aren't running LWotC then I don't know. It worked fine for me when i tried it out.

can some help me,for some reason when i got this mod and started a new campaign the squad stuff isn't there,do I have to get the guerrilla tactics school or?

true right now my only issue is with the game itself. because every 5 minutes "commander..commander commander" i spend more time listening to them and doing what they are forcing me to do then actually playing the damn game.

or just.. use a decent mod launcher like the Alternative Mod Launcher... and never have to worry about this issue on any mod ...

to those having problems with this mod.

SquadManager.xcommod

the line at the very bottom RequiresXPACK=true move it to right under the description it should look like this

[mod]
publishedFileId=0
Title=SquadManager
Description=[h1]Overview:[/h1]
This mod aims to bring the squad functionality from LW2/LWOTC to vanilla WOTC. As the title implies, this is currently in BETA and things might get chnaged (enhanced?) in the future. For now, this is just a QoL improvement, allowing you to create and outfit squads and send them into missions. There are no tactical benefits associated with keeping soldiers assigned to the same squad (unlike LW2/LWOTC), but in any case, feel free to use it for all your role-playing needs.
RequiresXPACK=true

this works for all mods with the issue

Is there a way to increase the size of a squad above twelve?

@chocovascas

figured out that if i just use the old mod launcher, even tho theres a warning icon, itll load up and work fine.

new problem now is that there is no controller support. i have to save and exit, switch back to mkb in the main splash screen, and the load in order to choose a squad or edit a squad, which is not the end of the world but quite annoying.

mods barely ever worked since WOTC came out with their launcher just use the Alternate Mod Loader for Xcom

its not working with new mod launcher, a pity since i love this mod

options for squads does not appear for me either. i think its because the new mod launcher views it as not wotc compatible and thus disables it

any chance this could be updated to be compatible with new mod launcher? I'm on steam deck and really do not want to mess with aml

Is there a Mod that would allow me to send Multiple Squads to Different Guerilla Ops?

Because i think this Mod would fit so perfectly.

@Zombie
Probably some kind of conflict. Does it appear with just this mod and CHL?

Option for squads does not appear I have the requirements and its enabled

it will be even better if we can add/delete soldiers to a squad in ready for battle page

@Lyserus

Indirectly yes, but someone would need to adapt (swap) my "WC_qUick_FLO" mod's UI flagging function (UC code) with whatever Squad/Logo references.
These new custom assets would then be shown during load-outs.

Currently, these spots are mostly filled with flags and/or ID tags as shown here...

(( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2127677360 ))

Note; I wouldn't have time to work on that fix.

Is there a way for me to see the squad icon for soldiers when I assign them to covert missions? Would be a huge QoL thing for me

This mod is a great campaign helper.

It helps me diversify the soldiers I bring out on missions and lets me train more recruits at a time plus it allows me to maximize combat bond effectiveness.

Grouping your soldiers like this can actually be a huge boon to your campaign if you can standardize your squads and know when to swap in a special unit.

squad manager with squad based roster mods function?

is this mod still good to use?

@AlanOnym - no. this mode is not the reason of this problem. i have the same troubles....

Hello, great mod but im a bit confused, i put to a squad of 8, and first mission 8 show up, its the blow up statue at the start, but on second mission even if says 8 on mod, and 8 on the config file, only see 4? any clue whats going on or i am being blind and dumb, ( prolly )

It made LWOTC bug for me (the enemies start with a very large detection area). Do not use these mods together, they are not meant to.

whenever i want to pick a squad in the mission briefing it doesnt show my assigned squad or even save squad, PLEASE HELP

@Shiro
Hello! Glad that one worked out.

@Dragon32

Aaaand that test just happened; the new mod works, no CTD, not even a delay. So I guess "Full Shadow Report" will replace "Show Enemies and Terrain on mission planning" in my load order.

@Dragon32

Hey, nice to see you again, I often see your comments on mods, so it's good to finally say hello. xD

I'll test that mod out, and report back my findings probably later today.

@Shiro
RustyDios re-worked that mod:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2995251401

Not sure if using that helps?

ACTUAL UPDATE!
I figured out what's causing the CTD. I found a crashdump in AML, read that and it lead me to the actual culprit of the CTD:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1183583781

Disabled that mod, loaded up the game, ignored the warning, and... no more crashing in the armory squad view, oddly enough.

Which is very... odd. I suspect the only people who can figure out why these two mods are the ones who made them.

It's also possible that these two mods play nicely together, and it's a 3rd mod I have that is causing the issue between them (very possible since there are currently 366 mods enabled). If anyone knows how to share a modlist, lemme know. Perhaps someone will see what mods I have running and manage to figure this out.

To anyone reading this I would consider the mod:

WOTC Show Enemies and Terrain on Mission Planning

As a soft incompatibility for the time being

Update: I've managed to trigger the CTD with my mod setup, fortunately it didn't seem to have anything to do with the two mods I linked earlier.

For some reason the CTD triggers when this event happens:

https://i.imgur.com/80Ls4jP.jpg

After this event, any time I try to click the squad view button in squad management, it will freeze, close the window, and then CTD. I'm honestly unsure what could be causing it.

My current theory is that it might have to do with sitreps, but I'm unsure.The only two mods I have that affect sitreps is:

Multiple Sitreps 2.0
and
Resistance Heroes Incursion sitrep

Other than that, perhaps something that touches the squad select screen is messing with things? Unsure. Need to look through mod list.

For some reason, this stopped work randomly during a game. Or rather, I could no longer use squad view, it would immediately CTD when pressing View squad in the armory.

I'm still trying to diagnose what happened because, far as I can tell, there are no incompatible mods in my setup. Weirdly, starting a new game did not reproduce the effect. At the same time, loading an older save and using squad view did not cause a CTD either.

I am unsure what happened exactly, So, perhaps something happened between that month but I'm not sure. The only significant thing that happened was that I got a retaliation mission and was using these two mods; both of them spawned at once, and I'm not sure if that was intended behavior.

I will continue playing and see if the same problem happens again and report back my findings.

Found a bug, If you dismiss a soldier who's already in a squad, that soldier will still appear in that squad, preventing that spot from being filled.
Be sure when you dismiss a soldier that they are not part of any squads.

Hi, for some reason this mod seems to cause Advent reinforcements to be scaled up power wise (getting doom reinforcements of 5-6 force level appropriate enemies right off in March missions). Just tested and adding this mod on its own causes it. Ty!

NOT necessary with Long war , amazing mod :)

Um.. this was ported OUT of LWotC... it already exists in the overhaul ...

LWotC??

if only we could have the ability to group soldiers by squads in the main soldier panel
that would be insanely useful

or if you could "lock" the squad in the squad management & be able to handle all the other stuff from there
(editing soldiers, bonds ....)

or both actually haha

anyway, awesome mod

@Inerael you don't need this mod if you use LWOTC

it seem that its because of LWOTC

hey, this mod is amazing thanks you !
I was wondering if someone had a solution for my problem: I created several squads with assigned soldiers. But when a mission starts and I have to select soldiers: the pre-made squads selection screen is empty (as if I have no squads) could someone please help me ?

omg

I see comments saying the mod does not work with RJ squad select. But im playing with both easily, its literally 1 text change in the INI file of this mod to allow 20 man squads. My question is regarding conflict with DSL redux sort options it says conflict found in UIPersonnel_SquadSelect' not sure if this is a major problem or not. so far i been playing with both

Is there anyway you could add a mission success rate to the squads. If not would you be open to letting me do it?

@Razorback
About the only one I can think of for the base game (that's not Long War 2) is Squad Cohesion: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=660665065

is there any version that does not need DLC ?

Is there any way to make it so instead of `Unit in Another Squad` it just says the squad name?

@Zyxpsilon Thank you for explaining how to make them compatible. Going to have the most Michael Bay playthrough now with easy squad management. You rock!

@vereen70
Loads were made for Long War 2, see the pinned Discussion
