[BETA] X2WOTCCommunityHighlander v1.30.0

Description
BETA NOTICE

IF YOU USE THIS BETA VERSION UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE STABLE HIGHLANDER MOD OR YOUR GAME WILL CRASH!

This is the BETA version of the Highlander. It contains the latest changes before they make their way into the stable version.

You can help the Highlander team by using the BETA version instead of the stable version and providing feedback on bugs or new features.

WARNING: Use the BETA version at your own risk and not in an Ironman run. It is possible that the BETA contains undetected bugs and may crash your game or cause other issues.

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.

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.

[BETA] 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][BETA] Alien Hunters Community Highlander plugin as well.

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

Like I said, it takes one line of config to fix Battlelord.

Well the issue is that skirm is limited to two actions total as a result of battlelord, when the ability itself specifically says you get an action after each enemy action in line of sight. It should be identical to Alien Ruler behavior, that is the bug.

That interrupt bug, wherein reinforcement pods got to resume a full turn immediately after spawning (related to summoning sickness) was thankfully eliminated a couple of patches ago, thankfully.

The battlelord bug is still just one of the most prominent bugs that I know exists in vanilla for the skirmisher class, as it makes Battlelord almost useless
Iridar Jul 29 @ 11:57am 
The basic fix for Battlelord to allow it to make more than one action is a one config line edit, you can easily do it yourself locally. Interrupt, as far as I know, doesn't have any partiuclar bugs as long as you have just one Skirmisher and don't expect Interrupt to be actually useful.

Well sure, but I mean it would be nice to have a wholesale community fix for some of the remaining skirmisher bugs. I do like the ideas of the skirm reworks though, and will probably try them out eventually
Iridar Jul 29 @ 10:54am 
Vanilla Classes Redux does that and makes more changes to make Skirmishers truly awesome.
The Chocobo Racer Jul 29 @ 6:51am 
I am dearly requesting more fixes to my favorite class, the skirmisher. The work that has been done is much appreciated, if you could quash the battlelord and interrupt bugs, that would be outstanding

That's fairly surprising - there are no AI changes in the 1.30 beta to my knowledge. This is the changelog: https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/X2WOTCCommunityHighlander/releases

Enemy AI is significantly more challenging with 1.30 beta compared to 1.29. Enemies hunt you down, even through doors. Supply crates get tagged by Advent far outside of soldier movement. I'm going back to 1.29 Legendary difficulty.

Interesting, I definitely get this version of the highlander mod when it comes out, reducing the quantity of mods (because the fixes are no longer needed) is always going, to slightly increase the speed of the game.

I just hope that in someway the highlander will help with appearance mods loading, so when I customise my soldiers I don't have to take as much time.

I started a new run earlier and noticed that my geoscape was significantly smoother, though I have shifted a few mods around since my last run. Nothing that I /think/ would affect that, though... Wonder if the Highlander update is making a difference there, but it's been a good experience so far.
