it's not a mod, it's just part of WOTC

there is?

Isn't there a mod that stacks the abilities into rows now?

@podesta
i'm having the same issue. I'm running in 1360x768, what resolution are you running @?

Two more screenshots: https://i.imgur.com/RBiiEMm.png and https://i.imgur.com/fAq9uX7.png

Using the mod with Long war 2. When the mod 'procs', as when I'm in a character that has more than 14(? not sure when it 'activates') abilities, the UI move up a little bit, and covers the aliens icons. It happens only when the soldier has more plenty of abilities. Maybe the offset was hardcoded with 1080p resolution in mind and It happens because I have a 900p instead? Any way to quick fix it in the files? Normal = https://i.imgur.com/qZAuObX.jpg ---------- Offset = https://i.imgur.com/gL7Rxo6.jpg

Oh that makes soooo much sense! It fixed on my next campaign, with some tinkering. Thank you, and Again BG on behalf of the mod using community we appreciate all your efforts

the base game tactical HUD thing is campaign dependant, which means you need to set it for each campaign, also disabling this mod does not break existing saves, the warning does not know whether a mod can be disabled mid campaign or not.

Same here: does nothing in LW2. And I could not remove it without breaking the existing saves.

Hello Bg, I am having an issue, where this mod isn't working and I can't seem to track down why. I am using LW2 and have enabled the Base game Tactiical HUD. However the limit is capped at 14 and I can't view additional icons at 14+. I have reverified the cache already as well.

Is there anyway you could provide some advice on how to resolve it? I am willing to submit a mod list and anything else you need.

As a side note, I want to say thank you for generating this community resource as it appears to be the main fix for the issue.

Another request for a WotC version, 30 Icons is not enough with mods like Overwatch All and Evac All especially when it comes to Psi Classes and the new AP system.

bg? Please?

I'm begging you for a WoTC version here. I need this so badly on my current game.

I would also like to add a vote for an update for WTOC, as it is very easy to run out of space. A third row would be great, and/or longer rows.

bg, may you release a wotch version? I saw your comment below, and you're correct, except in the case of psi overhaul, when regular and psi abilities overpopulate the command panel, causing some not to appear at times. Is there any alternative solution that you know of?

If use http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1162222490 and https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1137913176 30 ability icons its too low))))

Oh... It still requires to rewrite UITacticalHUD_AbilityContainer to redefine MAX_NUM_ABILITIES, MAX_NUM_ABILITIES_PER_ROW, and MAX_NUM_ABILITIES_PER_ROW_BAR...

Hi there, I read WoTC supports up to 30 icons... you mean 30 incons on one row?
If that's the case, can somebody point me the direction where I can find how to do this?

Thank you :-)

in WotC at the moment i mean. It worked great until LW2.

It doesn't work in my case, game crashed when entering mission. It took me few hours to identify this is the mod causing the crash. unselect this mod won't solve the problem, need to totally remove this single mod and the game is running ok. Could be conflicting with other mods that cause this but i can't find out which one.

It works in WotC although being unecessary

wotc now supports 30 abilities which is more than enough for now, so this will be in very low priority to patch

will this work in WotC ?

Is this a mod that allows more Icons across the screen without using a scrollbar to see ones not showing? I'm terrible (kinda new) at remembering to do that.

lol... 35 is also not enough, i have 36 now. Need 40.

Appreciate if can increase the icon, 30 is not sufficient, need more at least 35. When the icons exceed 30, it will bug out displaying only 15 icons, not 30 and discard the rest. I have specialist all perks + officer + awc and it is now 32 icons, showing only 15. at 28~29 icons it is still working good.

I see, so it is my 16:10 aspect ratio that is messing it up. It's a shame though, this puts the ability bar on top of the information that is supposed to be displayed right above it, like enemy icons and Perfect Information hack previews.

It won't be out of place for 4K because of how the UI system works here, it is scaled automatically, pretty much all the vanilla UI elements have hard coded width and height and they still display the same size across all resolutions, so it will not be out of place unless you are using really weird ratios like 1:1 or 9:16

I noticed that the ability bar is a bit higher on the screen for soldiers with more than 15 abilities, making it display on top of other items on the screen. Taking a look at the code in UItacticalHUD_NestedAbilities.uc it seems you hardcoded the position regardless of screen resolution. The bar is at Y coordinate 1025. I have a 1920x1200 monitor, and I assume yours is 1920x1080; which would put it 120 pixels too high on mine.
I imagine for people with a 4k resolution it would be completely out of place.

Will it work with the "why not both" mod that gives you both ablites on level-up?

Steam Workshop :: Standalone LW Mod Options

Soooo if i only LW perkpack but not LW toolbox or LW2, how do i "use base-game tactical ability hud" i know it was an option in the toolbox but i had to get rid of it as it wasn't playing nice with... anything.

Yeah, currently using all perks but not all AWC, at 28 icons now. if All AWC then it would be more than 30. looking at the UI, i think 35 is max for full HD. Or can it be made into 2 row? : )

is it really? I have made plenty of super soldiers in LW2 and I never hit 30 either. If going beyond 30 becomes common i can upgrade it to 45. Going beyond this number will span out of the screen though.

This works well with LW2. Only thing is... 30 may not be enough if using all perks and all awc.

That seems to have fixed it. Thanks.

Ok I might have found the possible culprit and reliable way to reproduce, but I am not around to compile and test so it will have to wait until Wednesday.

@-bg- I had the tactical load problem too. Infinite loading screens, some crashes. Only happened when I loaded while in battle. Not sure if reloading a previous save would cause the same issue. Unsubscribed after capturing some log, and now my mid-game loads are working fine. I can post my mod-list and send you one of the offending saves if you'd like, but I also captured some log.

In the log, an error was being repeated over and over while the game was trying to load. Here is the log entry I was able to capture:

[0528.11] ScriptWarning: Accessed None 'PlayerState'
X2TacticalGameRuleset Plot_CTY_MGee_ResArea_01.TheWorld:PersistentLevel.X2TacticalGameRuleset_0
Function XComGame.X2TacticalGameRuleset:UnitActionPlayerIsAI:0080

Hope this helps.

@The Gunslinger: 30 mods...that's almost nothing(at 350, and even that pales in comparison to someone that often comments on mods; I think it was =[NK]= Col. Jack O'Neil...not sure through), especialy if there are cosmetical and voicepacks in there too...maybe post the list of them(might even fit in the comments :x), in case one's obviously incompatible and you're overlooking it somehow?

I would but I got like 30 mods installed, all very compatible, except this one.

Send me a save that causes the crash

That's weird because when testing the last update I solely rely on reloading a tactical save where I set up a bunch of abilities.

@robojumper

Yep, this mod crashes or unending tactical save bug. Had to delete this.

@-bg-
I've been told 30 Ability Icons causes crashes now when reloading a tactical save. Are you aware of that?

@-bg_ I removed the view locked perks and it's working fine now. Sorry for the trouble. I had to change it in the main sreen on the ship not during game play. Sorry for the trouble now I'll go back to playing LW2 and watching War of the Chosen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTB6APXj23k again sorry for the trouble.

Post your modlist, there's something that screws with your displayed abilities.

@-bg_ for all my normal soldiers it works fine it's just the PSI soldiers I'm having issues with.

have you restarted the game? modlist? have you saved the game after you set toggle the settings?

@-bg- no it's not working I'm still missing Faceoff, lighting hands, grapple and others. I should have about 25 ablities but I only see 16. I also don't see the LOS icon.

err if you get 16 it is already working?
