Missions Beneath Suspicion

Abstract
This mod introduces a quick way to disable the presence of Rulers or Chosens from specific missions.

Overview
Why on earth would the Chosen come to interrupt XCOM while they rescue some unconscious dude in the middle of the Lost city? This clearly does not seem important enough for the Chosen to interfere. Some missions are just beneath the suspicion of the Chosen, so they have no reason to be there. This mod creates a configurable list of missions, on which the Chosen will not be able to spawn. This is done by using a CHL event. In addition, this mod also includes another config list for missions on which Rulers will not be able to spawn. This is done by creating a new sitrep (Remote Region) that will only spawn on these missions, and that has conflicting tags to the Ruler tags.

Configuration
The list of missions for each of those lists is inside XComGame.ini. Readers are advised to not add missions where the Chosen are scripted to show up into the "ban chosen" list, such as the Chosen stronghold mission etc.
By default, this includes the crate extraction mission, and the recover expedition ("turret+truck") mission.


Compatibility
LWOTC has its own logic for spawning Chosen and Rulers, so this will absolutely not work there.
In CI, this will NOT affect Infiltration missions. Therefore, if playing with CI, then it is recommended to only add missions which can only be assault missions.
Hive Queen and Spark Ruler are supported by default.

Required Mods
CHL, obviously.

Known Issues
If the Ruler was meant to show up on a mission that is configured with this mod, and it got cancelled because of this mod, it might still count an appearance of that ruler for the purpose of "this ruler can only show up X times, after which it won't show at all".
The Remote Region sitrep may appear on some missions twice. This is harmless.



Acknowledgements

If this is a question then I did not get it.

This is a very cool mod but I'm curious and worried by disabling missions that I will be increasing the chance of Chosen/Ruler appearances on enabled missions.

Specifically for amubhses you don't need this mod: there's a base game config for mission familities that chosen cannot appear on. Ambushes are there by default. The reason I can't use this config for the purpose of this mod, is that the two targeted missions share mission family with other mission types on which chosens are ok.
Look for the "ExcludeChosenMissionSources" config in XComGameData.

Could I configure the ini in this mod to do the opposite? Like allowing Chosen to show up on ambush missions so I have a reason to be worried about ambushes?

on the mission types supported by this mod, Supply Extraction, and Recover Expedition, you should not get the Chosen spawning at all when using that mod.
You can add other missions to this list, but you'll have to do it yourself. If you do see the Chosen on a mission supported by this mod, then something is not working.

does this work out of the box so that no chosen spawn period or do i have to do brain surgery on the game to even get it to work like that

this is a base game sitrep. I think it used to be a GTS Unlock back in pre-wotc XCOM2.

which sitrep is that lightning strike one from?

For the base game missions, you can see it in the default config folders, under the DefaultMissionDefs.ini file.
For modded missions, you need the XComMissionDefs.ini file of the mod that adds this mission.

Is there a way to get a list of the specific "MissionName/sType parameter" of missions?
