[LWOTC/RPGO] Overflow Ability Points

Description
Overflow Ability Points allows players to gain extra ability points in the late-game by bringing max rank soldiers on missions.

If you win a mission and there is at least one maximum-rank soldier, a dialog box will open at the end of the mission before the mission summary. By default, you will receive 2 Ability Points for every max rank soldier on the mission, but this is adjustable in the config files. Due to modding constraints, the AP is awarded to the shared XCOM pool rather than to the individual soldier pools.

A version of NotSoLoneWolf's Overflow Ability Points mod tweaked to dynamically support soliders with any number of max ranks, because even though Flawless exists, some might still prefer the behavior of this system instead (or "in addition to," if you're feeling particularly spicy.)

Much of the credit goes to NotSoLoneWolf for the original mod, available here:

Thanks to the XCOM 2 Modding Discord for providing advice on bugfixes and additional tweaks! Special thanks to RustyDios in particular for overhauling the mod script for greater compatibility -- frankly, it's more their work than mine at this point.

This version is hard incompatible with the original version, as it uses the same mod ID.

Additionally, it now requires the Community Highlander due to changes made to accommodate soldiers of any rank.

thx for answer!

@2oldcat
that would be because this is a version for Long War / RPG Overhaul, as stated in the title, both of which handle soldier ranks differently. the situation you have described sounds like it's expected behavior to me.

WOTC + WOTC Flawless + [WOTC] Overflow Ability Points = working
WOTC + WOTC Flawless + [LWOTC/RPGO] Overflow Ability Points = not working

the update worked for me, the images in flawless are popping up now, might be cosmetic but it sure made it feel good. Thanks for the mod support, much appreciated :D

Sorry for not replying. I've not looked at the code of this mod in a while, but I see the issue. It's using Flawless assets, and probably overwriting them (maybe based on load order?) because it's including them in its own files. Which, yeah, I can see how that'd break things.

I think all I'd have to do for a "quick and dirty" fix would be...remove the image from the textbox and the Flawless files from my mod, and that should probably fix the issue. I don't know enough about the UILibrary filepaths for basegame images to try and point it to something else.

I will say that while it's possible to run with Flawless, it's by no means, uhh, flawless. "If you're feeling particularly spicy" was my way of saying "they won't crash but I make no guarantees about potential issues." This is one of those potential issues I envisioned.

I'll have a poke around in the code.

@lety4ayavoropaeva I too am experiencing this conflict with the Flawless mod and see others mentioning it. Seems weird since this mod author even mentions using the two mods together in the description. But this mod definitely is blocking the images from showing in the Flawless mod and not sure it can be fixed because of how the code is written.

There is a small problem while running another mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1127174933 with this one. When I start - and it breaks the Images showing at the end of Mission when Flawless triggers.

Do you have any suggestions where to dig to fix this? As far as I know - the other mod also tries to open a text box at the end of mission/

Done. Can't believe I didn't realize that one sooner. :P

Could you please add in the description (the first short sentence), what this mod does?
