@ No Name Legion

does this work for WOTC?

As the others in the comment section have mentioned, this mod is still non-functional. It has been (2*) months in my most recent playthrough with this active, and MOCX has never once appeared. Since there's radio silence from the mod creator, I would advise no one to use this as much as I wanted to recommend.

is this mod fixed or is it still broken?

Hey Reality, I have a really specific modding question that I can't find an answer to. Could you give me a hand? (and is this the right place to ask?)

doesn't seem to work anymore, didn't get a single mocx unit to spawn during my two most recent playthroughs, and it's such a shame because I really like the idea of evil humans helping the ayys

For some reason I cannot get this mod to work. None of my missions ever spawned MOCX soldiers, and it's a real shame since I have used this mod a while ago and this was definitely my favourite enemy mod. I've tried raising the spawn chance to 100% via inis, nothing. I have noticed that ever since May, MOCX dark events have appeared, and during missions, I've seen MOCX Soldiers become panicked during Alien Activity, but when I run up to them, they turn out to just be harmless civilians. Help would be appreciated. I do have quite a lot of enemy mods, so if one particular one doesn't work with this, I'd like to know.

OMG Where is my mid game threat!
Mac Dog64 Aug 31, 2017 @ 3:22am 
Yes please, we love this mod:)
Marc1944 Aug 30, 2017 @ 6:02am 
Will you update the mod for wotc ?

After reading the description, comments here, and comments on the LW2 version, I'm a bit confused about how I can turn my character pool into MOCX soldiers WITHOUT making them also appear on my side (as recruits/mission rewards/rescuable VIPs). After also checking the ini files, if I understand correctly:

1. Tag a character as just "Can be Dark VIP"
2. Set Character Pool Usage to Character Pool Only (unless I'm mistaken and this mod doesn't rely on that option to draw from my pool)
3. In XComDarkXCom.ini, set SoldiersOnly to false and DarkVIPsOnly to true
4. Start new campaign, then cross my fingers


Is that right?
MaCC165 Jul 12, 2017 @ 9:48am 
nothing to do with the perks i think, it has to with the different spawn in lw2, so i use lwpp and it works fine
Greynir Jul 12, 2017 @ 8:16am 
I am just curiuos does this work with LWPP Or would i need to download the LW verison to use with the LWPP?
Shade11 Jun 30, 2017 @ 2:42am 
oh, i didn't notice. Thx
Kaldin Jun 28, 2017 @ 10:03am 
@Shade11: You're missing one of the required mods...
Shade11 Jun 28, 2017 @ 9:32am 
My mocx soldiers have invisible bodies (only their heads and weapons are visible).
What should i do? :(

[ PS. I have many armor costumization mods in my pool ]
Zypher Jun 18, 2017 @ 1:56pm 
hm, got it. my chances were initally, wihtout change set to 10% and 5% after every miss, not what you said, so it's no wonder, that i never got any MOCX guys. i would need to accomplish 19 missions before it's a 100%
MaCC165 Jun 18, 2017 @ 3:20am 
have u other mods?if not so many just tell me, i say which one i dont use, so we can reduce it to them
MaCC165 Jun 18, 2017 @ 3:18am 
yea it is, i have 370 mods including cosmetic and voicepacks(many enemy and gameplaymods so), and i face them april/may, and at least every 3rd mission
Zypher Jun 18, 2017 @ 2:15am 
okay, thanks, it's strange. With that it should be 100% after 5 Mission, shouldn't it? Already did more than 10 after they ae capable of spawning. Multiple dark events and never met them
MaCC165 Jun 17, 2017 @ 10:56am 
xcomdarkxcom.ini BaseChance = 20; the game rolls out of one hundred to determine the chance of MOCX appearing on a mission. This is the base chance without any additions from high vigilance or time since last MOCX encounter
MissingChance = 20; This is how much additional chance is added for every mission the player has done and that MOCX hasn't appeared on. ie (MissingChance * Missions You've Done Without MOCX)
Zypher Jun 17, 2017 @ 10:45am 
in which ini file can i change the spawn chance of them? Can't find out exactly where, does someone know the path?
DewFuel Jun 14, 2017 @ 11:28am 
My game crashes on first mission with MOCX troopers whenever they take an action. I can't figure this out :(
Jet Sunstrider Jun 10, 2017 @ 11:34am 
I have all my soldiers in my character pool tagged with can be dark vip and can be solider, but no one of them have been showing up as Mocx guys.
MaCC165 Jun 3, 2017 @ 3:59am 
u can do it by urself in the .ini file (spawn chance)
Zypher Jun 3, 2017 @ 3:11am 
Never saw them in my commander run. im in july now, taking some time, but nothing. Would be nice if the default spawn chance would be increased. You can see, that it is more for LW, since there are way more missions to do, but for Vanilla they should have a bit of a higher chance
bashame May 27, 2017 @ 11:52am 
Is there a way to get a 100% on MOCX troopers?
Boisegangpc May 3, 2017 @ 7:35pm 
They're rare. They have a base 10% chance to spawn, and each mission you do gives an additional +10% for them to spawn.
Major Mozzer May 3, 2017 @ 5:26pm 
Ah i see though that still doesn't explain why they have yet to appear after May. I'm in June now and all I've seen is dark events related to them.
Boisegangpc Apr 28, 2017 @ 4:06pm 
@Major Mozzer "Coilguns" in this context means that they just get to their T2 weapons. I don't know if it uses the coilgun models or the base-game magnetic, but that's all it really means.
Major Mozzer Apr 27, 2017 @ 9:43pm 
I've passed through May and haven't seen a single MOCX trooper. I also got a dark event saying they'll get coilguns but I don't have coil guns installed.
MaCC165 Apr 19, 2017 @ 5:02am 
i have the problem, most mocx soldier get stunned for 99 turns if they get deadly dmg(at least one every mission i have them), and survive with one hp, then one random soldier of my team get bugged and acting in slowmotion, so every single action needs 30sec or more to end
testerb Apr 17, 2017 @ 11:11pm 
For me the mocx here are totally impervious to most psi attacks. Null lance and void rift do damage but the others do nothing to them.
Boisegangpc Apr 5, 2017 @ 8:50am 
@Lament That's XCOM, I guess?
Lament Apr 4, 2017 @ 11:40pm 
God damn I came across my first MOCX initiative with not my A team....or my B team...just some basic C team. They wiped my squad. Fucking. Awesome. Mod.
Goaton Apr 4, 2017 @ 8:07pm 
@sawtooth27 mocx fight just you they spawn in vinilla missions the mod doesnt add a mission for them
Bullyhunter77 Apr 4, 2017 @ 2:08pm 
Does this mod add new missions with just the MOXC or does it add MOXC to vanilla missions as well? If so, does the MOXC fight the aliens too or just you?
TM Apr 3, 2017 @ 9:57am 
Blaze unfortunate for them. 😃
Blaze Apr 2, 2017 @ 11:49pm 
Yeah, I just found my first group around the same time - thing is, they show up in tier 2 gear, when I'm rolling with max-rank soldiers in Warden armor with Plasma weapons. Poor bastards never stood a chance. Didn't even get to attack me.
TM Apr 2, 2017 @ 1:48pm 
Blaze no worries, they will show up. unmodified, they started showing up august for me. I made the mistake of ignoring the mocx dark events so they had upgraded weapons and armor. Watch out for those phantom dark rangers. :)
Blaze Apr 1, 2017 @ 3:51pm 
Sorry for the frequent posts, but this is getting worrying. I'm into July at this point, and haven't seen a single MOCX unit. I've been seeing MOCX Dark Events since April, but not a single actual unit of them.
Blaze Mar 24, 2017 @ 3:09am 
Oh, and incidentally, the flavor text for the Medical Centers Dark Event made me giggle. Hard.
Blaze Mar 24, 2017 @ 3:08am 
Well, I've just gotten into early May - the MOCX Dark Events started showing up at the start of April, but I haven't seen any actual MOCX soldiers yet. Hoping they'll start showing up now. Can't wait to see if I recognise any of their faces!

Am currently playing with ABA2, in Vanilla, without the LWPP. I wanna see these guys in action!
TM Mar 21, 2017 @ 11:14am 
ok, the update seems to have resolved the PCS not showing up. This mod is entirely too awesome for it's own good. I set it up so there is a 25% chance they can show up instead of 10%.
President Jyrgunkarrd Mar 19, 2017 @ 8:00pm 
MOCX PCS Chips do not produce Advanced PCS modules when processed through the Proving Grounds. :|
MaCC165 Mar 17, 2017 @ 5:08am 
i have both "lw alien pack" and "bio troops" and i didnt do anything to the .ini yet
President Jyrgunkarrd Mar 17, 2017 @ 3:47am 
Ha! They spawned in the first mission in April (and wrecked me, but that's to be expected).

Seems that the LW Alien Pack was the culprit.
President Jyrgunkarrd Mar 17, 2017 @ 3:15am 
Set MOCX to 100% chance to spawn, and set the earliest month to March. Started new campaign, disabling the mod most likely to cause conflicts (LW Alien Pack).

No MOCX spawn yet.
