WotC: robojumper's Squad Select

Description
My personal take on a Squad Select Screen! Completely built from the ground up!

Features:
  • User Interface for more than 6 soldiers. How many? There's no limit! Scroll or Drag&Drop.
  • More intuitive with built-in overview!
  • More information: PCS', Health, Abilities (Shows You The Skills), Stats, Armor, Primaries, Secondaries, Pockets...
  • 100% controller compatible!
  • Configurable with Mod Config Menu, but also standalone!
  • Includes a squad size setting!

Not included:
  • A fix for spawn points when you use more than 9 soldiers. See recommended mods below.

Known Issues:
  • Armory Screens reachable from the Squad Select Screen have a Hotlink to Geoscape. DO NOT CLICK IT. IT CAN CAUSE THE GAME TO LOCK UP FROM AVENGER DEFENSE. This is something I can't easily fix.
    The same applies to a Training Center button. It is not supposed to appear.

How do I increase my Squad Size?

It has a built-in way of choosing the squad size, either via MCM or via the local config file.

If the built-in way of modifying squad size breaks with your setup, you can disable it in XComGame.ini

Recommended Mods:

FAQ:
  • How do I increase my Squad Size?
    • See above.
  • Why does this not include a Spawn Point fix?
    • I wanted to make it as compatible as possible. Since other mods are addressing this issue, I didn't add it.
  • I don't have MCM. How do I configure the mod?
    • Start the game once. It will create a file: "C:/Users/%USERNAME%/Documents/My Games/XCOM2 War of the Chosen/XComGame/Config/XComrobojumperSquadSelect_NullConfig.ini". There you can adjust the same values exposed to MCM.

Thanks:
  • Highbob for ShowMeTheSkills, ideas of which I borrowed.
  • LeaderEnemyBoss for ShowMeTheSkillsRevived, ideas of which I borrowed.
  • DerBK for ABA2, because the mod is balanced around 6-8 soldiers. Without it, this mod wouldn't exist!
  • xylthixlm for helping me with some math.
  • .vhs for upgrade icons and the thumbnail. It's great, don't you think?
  • xymanek/Astral Descend for providing me with more feature requests to implement. Also for poking me to do the update.
  • All other modders who had to hear my random ramblings about the mod and provided feedback.

I have a bug where one soldier's menu is not shown unless I remove him or another soldier from the squad and add again.
Does anybody have the same issue or know how to fix it?

Not in my experience, but use something like MSI Afterburner to check.

If you're not already using the Highlander then add it, also have a look at "Tactical HUD Lag Fixes": https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3018494559

Am I right to assume that this mod eats up RAM? Because when I issue orders with squads >6, the game noticeably lags a bit.

Does this mod work ? I tried a lot of diffrent fixes but no matter what I do my squad is stuck at the base 4 soldiers.

only the very first mission start with my selected squad (i pick 8)

but the very next mission it return back to 4

@Dragon32: thank you. you are exactly right.

For anyone wondering, its the basic ability of the class that your rookies get promoted to (i.e. ranger basic ability is slash, grenadier basic ability is launch grenade).

@Sunbach
iirc it's whether or not to show a class' basic abilities

What does "Skip Initial Abilities" in the mod setting do? a youtuber Odd suggest to turn it off but it's on by default
General Anakin Skywalker 27 Apr @ 10:16am 
We can only select 6 soldiers even if we change the config

No issue with this mod ( issue is raised by warning regarding deployment area, despite having said mod).
