[WotC] Bronzeman Mode

Description
Tactical Legacy Pack update:

At the moment, I'm pretty sure that there are some issues with this mod WotC + Tactical Legacy Pack. This may take some time to iron out, so thank you in advance for your patience.

===========================================

Adds "Bronzeman" mode, sort of like Ironman lite. No saves during a mission, but you can save all you want back on the Avenger. This means you can't repeat a turn, but you can restart the whole mission. Gives you that Ironman feel with 100% less campaign-ending squad wipes.

To start a Bronzeman run, create a new game with the "Bronzeman Mode" checkbox checked.

You can also convert an existing non-Ironman campaign into Bronzeman Mode, and you can turn it off for any existing Bronzeman Mode campaign. To do this, you need to install MCM and open the mod options menu from the Avenger screen. For obvious reasons, you aren't allowed to disable Bronzeman mode during a mission. ;)

Steam Workshop Link for MCM (optional): https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=667104300

The rollback feature is now official, but requires autosaves enabled to work. The rollback feature will try to find the last Geoscape autosave from the same campaign. Just be careful: if you've played around with autosave settings recently, your last Geoscape autosave might not be when you think it is. If you'd rather not see the rollback option, you can opt to remove it from the mod options menu (requires MCM) or directly from XComBronzeManMode.ini.

Version 3.0: War of the Chosen edition

- This version works with War of the Chosen, but does not work with the base game. For a version that works with the base game, go here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=623894318

Version 2.0: DLC friendly edition

- Now works with Alien Hunters and Shen's Last Gift DLC selection menu.
- Added optional MCM menu.
- No longer allows you to enable Ironman if Bronzeman was selected.
- Compatibility fixes, no longer overrides UIPauseMenu. Still overrides UIShellDifficulty.

Version 1.0: Alien Hunters edition

- Now works with Alien Hunters.

@haite, there is an iron man backup program, download it, it saves your file directly as you play just press windows key then press save iron man. it is called ironman save backup...it is quite intuitive and quite easy far better than bronzeman

Mod works great but has a significant flaw, Bronzeman selector overlaps with advanced options, making it impossible to see if i hvae advanced option on (it only happens if someone has a lot of those possible options due mods, but its still big issue)

Lost a save file in legend ironman. This would had saved me. Do bronzeman/honestman, NO ironman, people.

Consistent crashing at the beginning or end of tactical layer iirc, most likely due to mentioned TLP issues as there are no other conflicts and has been narrowed down to this mod.

Has been like this for long, doesn't seem like it'll get an update, sadly.

Quick question:
does this mod still has issues with the Tactical Legacy Pack?

Low FPS on the geoscape is usually indicative of a Mod Class Override (MCO) conflict. They're the only type of conflict that AML will identify so use that if you're not already.

Maybe its due to the "better second-wave supprot" indeed from other comment

I find out this is the specific mod which causing my geomap frame drop sinificantly from 200+ fps to below 20. I know its not the creator's fault, just due to some weird conflict with other mods. Leave a comment here for the others to potentially solve their problem.

Can't get this to work with A Better Second Wave Support, what's the workaround?
Kevin from HP Customer Service 30 Nov, 2023 @ 2:53pm 
can we get this to play nice with better second-wave support without using the workaround?
