[WotC] I'm the Commander here

Description
Background
Pure frustration over your beginning soldiers getting the worst Trainingcenter ability combinations while some random dude you got as a reward from a Councilmission has all the good ones?

Don't worry no more, as you are the Commander here this mod will let you choose any eligable ability for your soldiers to your likings for a little amount of AP of course after you build the Trainingcenter.

Extension Mod
This mod [WotC] I'm the Commander here extension will add more abilities for herosoldiers to roll naturally.
Check the mod-page for more details. (Note: This feature was earlier incorporated into this mod, but I decided to move it to a seperate mod keeping this mods functions cleaner.)

Mod config files

XComImTheCommanderHere.ini
Main-config file for this mod, see the config itself for further explonations on what the settings do.

XComClassData.ini
I included this to enable Sparks having Trainingcenter abilities and remove some abilities which are nonsense from the selection choice like Deep Cover. Also introduced AP to Sparks on promotion.

XComGameData.ini
You can adjust the number of how many TC abilities any soldier gets. Defaultsetting is still 4 and setting it 7 or above will break this mod and your game.

Compatibility
  • Works with any promotion screen (default,new,community)
  • Don't use this mod WotC: Sparks with AWC Abilities in conjunction with this one as its features are already incorporated
  • If u play with RPGO u don't need this mod.
  • Does not work in conjuction with WOTC Richards Hero Classes Rework This mod will let you do everything that mod does and even more.
  • This mod needs valid soldierclasses to work properly. If another mod let's you change classes midcampain and does not do everything correctly chances are this mod will not work for that specific soldier.
  • Should Autodetect LWOTC and behave accordantly

Gamepad support
  • to "click" the respec button he must be visible and then you open the console and type: ClickRespecButtonByConsole
  • DPAD: UP+DOWN will let you cycle through the left side choosing the ability you wanna respec (purple/psionic colored)
  • DPAD: LEFT+RIGHT OR R1+R2 will let you cycle through the middlescreen choosing the new ability (yellow colored)
  • A for XBOX OR X for PS4 Controller will accept the choice, B or O will close the screen
  • Use this mod RS for respecc for opening the respec window with a gamepad

Same Mod for other iterations of the game

FAQ
  • Everything works midcampagin.
  • if you find yourself only being able to respec the first ability plz read what I wrote under gamepad support as it describes how this mod works
  • See the change notes for what is new and has changed.
  • Should autodetect LWOTC
  • RPGO players do not need this mod.

Before making a comment about a "bug" or a "feature" not working ask yourself:
  • Did I read the description of this mod?
  • Did I look at the pictures of this mod?
  • Has my question recently been answered in the comment section?
  • If you make a comment about a bug be as detailed as you can. Sentences like "it's not working" won't enable me to solve any problem.
  • If you need extenisve support feel free to contact me on Discord: Dare#0357
  • Very technical and foremost individual problems should be asked on Discord

Permission
One may use any of my code as he sees fit as long as appropiate credit is given.

Thank you for the quick response, but I fear I am unfortunately too dumb to properly put together said override.

Each time I try, it simply removes the ability to respec abilities altogether, showing me a blank screen with no available perks. I believe its due to me not understanding where the "deck row" and "index" respectively are, which is of course a me issue and no fault with the mod.

Thank you for the help, regardless!

if the classmods respec line doesn't follow the standard layout you have to add an override in the config XComImTheCommanderHere.ini. An example is in the config.
ProfessorFloof Nov 22 @ 1:09am 
How does one go about allowing certain modded classes to use this?

Specifically, I'm trying to use Biotic, Alchemist, Valkyrie, Pharmacist, and Samurais with this, yet I can't figure out the coding to allow them to respec. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance! Loving the mode otherwise!

Thank you so much, that worked.

XComImTheCommanderHere.ini, at the very bottom, should be 7 lines
Aragon Nov 17 @ 10:12am 
I don't really like the new update restricting what abilities you can put in each rank for several reasons, but 'u can just delete the rank files in the config' from the author earlier wasn't very helpful. In which config file exactly is this, and around where in that file approximately?

I totally forgot that I actually made the override index. Yeah just use that for the soldiers you need it to be different and you should be fine.

Thanks for looking into it. There is a fifth row and your mod used to respec them by rotating them from the bottom up, if that makes any sense. You can get around it now by using that override command with "Index=4", but it involves restarts. Mod's kinda cheaty with all those promos anyway.

I took a look at the mod page. It says you get to promote any rookie to one of the faction soldiers. Nothing about adding another row of abilities?
