X2WOTCCommunityHighlander v1.29.0

Description
What is Highlander?

Highlander replaces a big portion of the game's code in order to make it more moddable and mod-compatible, as well as fix a lot of bugs.

As implied by the name, only one Highlander mod can be used at a time. Hence, the Highlander tries to address as many use cases as possible. Not counting fixing bugs, the Highlander does not change the behavior of the game, it merely provides ways for other mods to do so.

Everything that goes into Highlander undergoes rigorous testing and peer review.

How do I use the Highlander?

Subscribe to the mod and enable it in your mod launcher like you would any other. You should see the Highlander's name and current version appear in the lower right corner of the game's main menu screen.

Alien Hunters DLC Plugin

If you have Alien Hunters DLC installed and enabled, and you are using this version of the Highlander, then you also should install the [WOTC] Alien Hunters Community Highlander plugin as well.

Do NOT install that plugin if you do NOT have the Alien Hunters DLC.

Useful Links

Thank you for using the Highlander. Our objective is to support all modders to be all they can be, so if you have suggestions please let us know.

@burrik
I think it's that usually a trooper can only carry one grenade-type object, and one special ammo

What do these strings in xcomgame.ini do? Can't find anything anywhere regarding how they affect gameplay - what is unique items rule?

;GrenadeRespectUniqueRule=false ; Set to true to make grenade slot respect unique items rule.
;AmmoSlotBypassUniqueRule=false ; Set to true to make ammo slot ignore unique items rule.

F YOU'RE NEW TO THE GAME AND YOUR GAME IS CRASHING WITH THIS, TRY THIS FIRST:

Make sure you're actually trying to play War of the Chosen, instead of X-Com 2. In the dropdown menu when you launch the game, choose "Play War of the Chosen" instead of "Play X-Com 2". WOTC is the same game as X-Com 2, but with the extra content interwoven in the original. It took me an embarassing amount of time to find this out, but I blame Firaxis for not explaining this properly to people that weren't playing the game at launch and laying the options so confusingly.

Yeah I've had to disable the music mod because I can't figure out why the DOUBLE music playing bug comes from. But many say its LWOTC doing it but I just thought maybe its tied into this mod also which is a requirement I believe.
Iridar Jun 2 @ 5:20am 
No, that issue is intrinsic to music mods.
Gerarderloper Jun 2 @ 5:03am 
I noticed this mod changes the XComTacticalSoundManager.uc file and was wondering if this was the reason why pretty much all music mods can't work correctly? (often playing double audio)

@EvilBob22 - I'm not sure which version I have installed at the moment but it's unlikely to be as up-to-date. I'm planning to start a new playthrough fairly soon, so that should a good time to upgrade.

@Scroller If you don't have version 1.6 yet, you should upgrade. It does the initial mod check in 1/10 the time of the older ones.

@Bepis - You're welcome. I've had the AML installed for ages and I don't have a link for it (I should probably favourite it some point), so thanks to EvilBob22 for posting that.
