Many Thanks for this extra care for your subscribers.. i'll make sure to verify if it works "correctly" & report back with my results!

Report!

So far so good.. not even a glitch anywhere to break the feature itself. I can now Change any Classes straight from the usual HUD menu -- as expected.

AWC+NCE+HIDPOT+Stats concerns only affect the targeted "Soldiers" which undergo such a Class-Switch.. right?

If that's the case.. i can live with that. ;)

Hi,

Noob question- how do I install this? I'm dying for a way to change the class of reward soldiers whose stats are suited to a different class.

@Philosofy101 Download and unzip to Steam\SteamApps\common\XCOM 2\XComGame\Mods

My XComGame folder has no Mods folder. There's a DLC folder- is that it?

Create a new folder called Mods

Works really well, thanks! I noticed that if you change class of a soldier who has enough XP for a promotion, you lose the ability to promote in the new class, so something to be aware of.

This isnt working for me hopefully someone has a fix? Wheni go to change class the cursor goes invisible and i will press it down again and it will skip change class and go onto dismiss which does nothing when pressed. However when i get the cursor onto change class and select it. It asks if i want to dismiss my soldier? Any tips?

ok its because i am using a controller and it only works with mouse. Is there any way to fix this?

@Billy Bitchcakes
Short answer, no I can't fix it. Long answer, If you can point me to a mod that works for controllers and similar things in terms of adding/using new screens then I might be able to figure it out based on that.

The issue with controllers isn't as simple as just changing a settings somewhere. The mouse and keyboard (and by extenstion Steam Controller-which I use) "just work" there's nothing in the code need for them to work save the mouse wheel. The controller requires capturing controller input and making actions based on that.

In short I don't know how to do it and I don't know where to go to figure it out.

No worries mate I can live with it like this i usually change all my soldiers class in one go so not like i am needing to use it all the time anyway going to main menu changing input to mouse changing class then change back to controller is easily better than not being able to change class at all ha. This is better than even the commanders choice mod for what it does so thank you very much for you work pal

"The ini setting ResetRank determines whether soldiers are reset to rookie rank" is this a file that needs to be made or is it in the mod files? Or created elsewhere when mod loads first time?

Not even sure why or how .. but when i tried re-installing this within a WotC setup, it kept crashing to Desktop as soon as i clicked the option from the Customization opening Menu.
I'll attempt a few more debug steps & will let you know what i can find.

Probably caused by Override Conflicts or Load-Order issues -- hard to tell.

Okay.. it crashes when i "select" the new Class & i must (as expected) click twice on the choice. Got through the LOG file and it seems like the process is activated (Old+New Stats swapping, etc) and yet there's this entry right after;

I think this could expain it. What is there to fix though? Up to you!

Seems they replaced the RollForAWCAbility() function with RollForTrainingCenterAbilities().

That should be an easy fix. I'll see what I can do.
