Fix Merged PCS

Description
Description
Allows you to fix soldiers who have been affected by the merged PCS chip bug.

The Bug
A PCS chip equipped on a soldier sometimes disappear, but the soldier keeps the stat bonus. The game then allows you to equip a new PCS chip without losing the previous stat bonus.
This can lead to soldiers having crazy high stats.

Usage
  • A new "REMOVE MERGED PCS" button will appear for soldiers affected by the bug.
  • Clicking on this button will show you a list of PCS chips which were merged with the soldier.
  • Clicking on any item in this list will remove the chip from the soldier and add it back to your inventory.
  • Once all merged PCS chips are removed, the button will disappear.

Notes
This mod does NOT actually fix the bug. It just allows you to fix soldiers affected by the bug.
The bug occurs if a PCS is applied from the loadout screen when launching a mission. To avoid this bug, apply PCS chips through the Armory.

Compatibility
No class overrides. Compatible with vanilla and Long War 2.

Can someone tell me if this was fixed either by the WotC or the Highlander pack? I Have looked but I cant find an actual answer. thank you to anyone who helps me out. I am sure that I am not the only person wondering this.

@shavy:

As I stated before, the problem was "it resulted in my Sharpshooter having a negative dodge stat."
The negative dodge stat wasn't too harmful in and of itself, but I think that the same 'debuff' could happen to other stats that PCSs increase, such as Aim and Health. (It'd only lower them, not make them negative.) But I'm pretty sure it just has to do with the timing of when you get the "all PCSs are better" upgrade.

Without getting too technical, I think this was the problem.
If a PCS gets merged onto a soldier *before* you get the PCS upgrade, removing the merged PCS *after* you get the upgrade will actually permanently lower the stat the PCS was improving.

so would you explain why this a problem? i didn't quite understand that.

I don't even know if the issue I have is fixable, and it's not a huge deal (to me), but I wanted to at least let it be known in case somebody else experiences the same issue.

I got some of my PCSs "merged" before I got the upgrade that improves the PCSs. I then downloaded this mod and used it to remove a Dodge PCS, but it resulted in my Sharpshooter having a negative dodge stat. I figured the reason was because before the PCS upgrade, it was +18 Dodge, but after the PCS upgrade, it was supposed to be +24, but since it was merged, it wasn't upgraded.

Basically, the merged PCS on my soldier had the stat increase of the original PCS, but when removing the merged PCS, the mod was decreasing the stat as if I had the upgraded PCS, taking away more than it should.

@Toni:
Can't see it mentioned in the WoTC Highlander change log [github.com].

I don't know if Firaxis fixed this in WoTC.

But yeah, great mod.

@GauravDas:
I see it's been a while, but in the hope you're still maintaining this, back may of last year you said, "Yes, this mod is not required if you are using LW2 1.3 or the Community Highlander."

I would think it should be safe to assume then that if WotC alone didn't fix this issue, the WotC Community Highlander probably does?

Gave this a thumbs up in any case, since it's a relatively elegant workaround for an otherwise very annoying and hard to squash bug.

I've got this bug multiple times. Would be cool if mod could be updated for WotC.

Out of curiosity, does this work with War of the Chosen and is it even still needed?

You should mention in the notes this is not needed with LW2after version 1.3
