the rank of brigadier hasn't been changed, not sure if that was intentional or not, but I find it funny that after sergeant major my soldiers are just immediately bumped into brigadier generals lmao

@roadblock101 - When I have a moment, I will look at this. I think I may have inadvertantly changed something :/

Seraph - its actually an easy fix. Go to the mod file location on your computer.

Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1130154571.

Open Up Localisation and open up XComGame in an editing tool.

Copy the below into the file underneath the line that says ShortNames[7]="Cmdr"

RankIcons[0]="UI_Library_Military_Ranks_K.Rank_CadetS_K"
RankIcons[1]="UI_Library_Military_Ranks_K.Rank_TrooperS_K"
RankIcons[2]="UI_Library_Military_Ranks_K.Rank_VeteranS_K"
RankIcons[3]="UI_Library_Military_Ranks_K.Rank_GuardS_K"
RankIcons[4]="UI_Library_Military_Ranks_K.Rank_SergeantS_K"
RankIcons[5]="UI_Library_Military_Ranks_K.Rank_LieutenantS_K"
RankIcons[6]="UI_Library_Military_Ranks_K.Rank_CaptainS_K"
RankIcons[7]="UI_Library_Military_Ranks_K.Rank_CommanderS_K"

Click Save and you should be done.

The above seems have (assume accidentally) been deleted from the file.

Similarly, if you like the rank images from any of these you can move them around as desired by calling it like the above :)

@SeraphMD Sam here for me

In my game, the Skirmisher rank icons have been changed to the custom soldier icons instead of the custom Skirmisher ones. Anyone know why this is?

It works with custom classes unless they have specified their own internal overrides.

To clarify, this works with custom classes as well? Except the custom icons?

@Microsoft Word - I will have a look at re-enabling however if you want to do yourself you can find the files in

Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1130154571.

Look for the localisation file and you can tweak till your heart is content :)

Hey, love the concept of this mod. Now that the WOTC Leader pack is out, do you know if you'll re-enable the officer ranks? If not, mind pointing me in the direction of the files I'll have to tweak to put them back myself (for my own use of course, not re-uploading the mod)? I understand you're not modding a whole lot these days but any help would be appeciated. Thanks!

@Poul - Nae bother at all :)

Thank you! Im using it for the proficiency class mod and edited them to use your ranks apposed to the vanilla ones.

@Poul - Firstly I would assume that you would seek my consent in regards to using the icon if you intended to use in a custom mod.

Secondly it would require changing a few things within the files which would not be completely complicated should you wish it :)

How would I edit a custom class to use your icon for their rank?

What blows my mind is that this is the only military rank mod for WoTC.

That is because they have continued to use vanilla or custom ranks within their class. ;)

Been using your rank mod sense getting WotC a week ago. Was the best one I found where I liked all the ranks. One thing I've noticed though, which is a bit confusing, is that while the name changes stay, the rank icon defaults to the basic one for all new classes that are modded into the game.

So I love your mod, but I now have the RPG overhaul and it adds and 8th rank, I was wondering if you might make some sort of update for this?

I appreciate your work, any news on updating this for the wotc long war leadership mod?

@Thefunnone1125 - Absolutely no bother! :) Feel free to do so, this mod being one of the first to be so extensive in terms of changes that way, is designed to act as a template for other modders and private changes :)

No problem man, I still subscribed and rated up. I just went into the ini and moved things around for my own taste.

@thefunnyone1125 - the faction ranks, titles and icons are exactly how I want them to be. I may make changes in future but not at the moment. Thanks for comment.

@setmad - nobody forces you to use the mod.... yes there is only one commander but you forget, the non-human/other factions have a completely separate purpose from XCOM therefore I am sure they too have commanders out there ;)

But no......I will not delete my mod because of it (lol).

Totaly dislike to this mod, autor, pls, delete your mod, because there can be only one COMMANDER(Bredford voice)

No love for Sparks? Other than that looks like an awesome mod. Would love to see a spark update. Your rank icons are really nice, my kinda style. Love the different rank names for the reapers and skirmishers, really fit their respective factions.
Only other complaint would be the reaper ranks seem out of order. I think the operative(2) symbol can be used for comando(1), while the agent(3) symbol can replace operative. Then the commando(1) can replace agent(3). Sentinel(5) and special agent(4) could be swaped. And master(6) and commander(7) could be swapped.
Basically along the line of more "lines/chevrons" and more "orange balls/orange diamonds" constitute a higher rank.

Thanks

Not at the moment however it will in future when I get around to addressing it ;)

Does this works with the Long War Leader pack for WOTC now ? Thanks :)

In that case @Scarecrow next update I will see if they now work :)

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1203072817 A port of the Long War Leader pack for WOTC. Please re-enable the Officer ranks.

ty for the response, atleast its something to look forward to. atm using another rank mod that allows me to set the soldier ranks to my prefence, but would love to use this one since this one has all the ranks and i know for sure works with your officer mod, wich also btw love the icons for myself but would like to see official looking ranks myself. just my prefence :D. and not being a modder makes it hard. :D

Will perhaps implement however unfortunately as with all my modding work atm I do not have the time to address, update or change anything at least for the next 2 months. Extremely busy which is unfortunate and frustrating as I love doing my stuff!! :p

was wondering if its possible and fairly easy to make this compatable with MCM so at the least we could easily change the ranks ourselves to what we perfer for all the classes/factions and also with your officer mod, (witch i love btw :D ). the hard part i imagine would be making so icons could be changed somehow by the user , using MCM .... just a thought.

Thanks for job. IMHO, you should make icons smaller by 30% - so they do not conflict with the text

I too was thinking that when creating it however at the moment I believe their rank icons are using the standard ones in vanilla. I Shall however investigate that as I want that aswell. First I will need to make some jazzy icons and then change their ranks accordingly

I do like the updated icons to go with your Officer class with all this ranking. Though I wonder, would it be possible to give the faction heroes seprate ranking systems? I feel they're seperate enough that they would warrant having a different ranking system. Or at least maybe if there was a way to mod Templars to use PsiOps ranking system instead of the normal system.
