Disable Random Posters

Description
This mod allows you to selectively enable and disable the random posters that are auto-generated by the game.

WARNING: This mod conflicts with the "Psi Overhaul" mod in such a way to cause the game to crash. See discussion below.

Why?

I really like the WOTC photobooth, however I find that the game creates so many random posters that the ones I personally choose to create get lost in a sea of auto-generated ones. This causes me to lose interest in the photobooth after a while and create fewer posters as the campaign goes on. By disabling the random posters, your hand-crafted posters stay special!

Options

With Mod Config Menu, you can chose to enable or disable different types of posters. They're all disabled by default.
  • Soldier KIA
  • Soldier promoted
  • Soldiers bonded
  • Mission finished

Compatibility

The mod overrides the following classes:
  • X2Photobooth_StrategyAutoGen
  • X2Photobooth_TacticalAutoGen

Unfortunately this means it's not compatible with the newly released Configurable Headshots mod. It may be possible to use these mods together and disable only mission posters, but I haven't tested that yet. I'm exploring alternatives.

Bugs/issues

If you have the end-of-mission posters disabled and choose not to create one at the end of a mission, you will see the last poster created in the Skyranger return-to-base loading page, which will be a poster unrelated to the mission you just finished.

If anyone has other issues with the mod please post a comment. Thanks

There's NO Effect at all ! - Posters are still created - what a Pity

This has caused crashing for me at the end of missions, had to remove it.

This has been related to post-mission pre-promotion screen crashes in my games (On the skyranger when a poster should appear on the stats screen.) . The Community mod launcher says there are no mod conflicts, but it may still be a mod conflict that it just isnt picking up on. I have a 300~ modlist so i wouldn't be surprised.

While some of the crashing was happening mid-campaign, the testing i did to figure out which of my mods was the problem i did on gatecrasher.

Im theorizing that maybe since it crashes on gatecrasher, maybe the game is trying to get a poster to use as the end-of-mission poster but cant find one, so it just, crashes.

So if I use this, I will see my own posters instead? Sounds great.
Mid-campaign activation is safe?

@Thunder It's a base game problem that has cropped up lately. Several mods that make edit to core configs are having this issue; delete the core game config files and restart; the game will rebuild them with the mod functionalities included. should fix it. I unfortunately have to do it before every start up. super annoying.

Interesting, I do not experience that. If you do not have Mod Configuration Menu and the WOTC Highlander installed I would recommend them as potential fixes.

It always works well at the beginning and always stop working after some months of a long campaign. At that point there is no way apparently to make it work again.
I start new campaigns often and this is repeating it self each time, with me not touching the mod settings at all.
Also I'm using the mod launcher and apparently I don't have any incompatible mod that uses the same files as this one, including the ones you mentioned here that I don't use.

This is one of the most important mods for me, since I share the exact same feelings about posters, I like them but I want to use them without the random generated ones that just spam.

Did anyone find any workaround to make it work again once it stops?
