All this does is change a 0 to 1 in one line of a Highlander .ini file.

I assume it is already integrated into X2WOTCCommunityHighlander v1.29.0 or LWOTC.

Because in the last campaign I played without this mod and there were periodically 10 of my soldiers landed on a mission.

what's the config file for this mod? how do i change max soldiers size or the skyranger capacity?
Elder 21 Jan @ 8:55am 
Is it fine to remove mid campaign? Going back down to six but finding this mod scatters my soldiers all over the place
Razeluxe 5 Nov, 2024 @ 3:58am 
Or change the "Skyranger_capacity" to 12 in the DefaultGameCore.ini
Razeluxe 5 Nov, 2024 @ 3:35am 
@Spooky go to XComMissions.ini and then edit any line with MaxSoldiers=8 or any other number to MaxSoldiers=12 .

can anyone answer this im having hte same issue on "How do you edit to allow for more than eight soldiers to deploy? I have edited the ini file to allow for 2 extra tiles and have changed RoboJumper's mod to allow for 12 soldiers in a squad, but whenever I try to deploy soldiers on a mission, I can only select 8 of them." thank you

I really doubt that could be caused by this mod. All it does is change a 0 to 1 in one line of a Highlander .ini file.

I keep getting crashes on the Alien Nest and Lost Towers DLC missions, does this mod not affect those?

When changing or updating mods it's often a good idea to clear out your user config files. Perhaps they got screwed up somehow.

I can confirm that for whatever reason downloading this mod breaks character aesthetics.
I tested it on 2 separate computers with different builds,

>First, I had my mods, started up the game, and it works.
But when I added this and relaunched the game, the characters broke.
(Relaunching over and over again gave the same result, even when disabling then re-enabling mods)

>Second, I launched the mod alone on a different pc and the same thing happened.
(Relaunching over and over again gave the same result, even when disabling then re-enabling mods)

But by turning off mods, unsubscribing, and launching the game, quitting out, and resubbing just to launch it again magically fixed the issue so..

Probably something else is causing an unknown problem with this mod from the base game because neither the mod itself or the way it was resolved had anything really to do with character creation...

I think its just really really strange glitch that occured..

@CotaEvandro well this is specifically for WotC?
Phil Leotardo 3 Dec, 2023 @ 12:53pm 
terminus is right, this mod crashes my game aswell, apparently it has the base game and wotc version in 1
Dragon32 23 Oct, 2023 @ 7:43am 
@BUFFMANN42069
You just enable it in your mod launcher
MONKEMAN32 23 Oct, 2023 @ 12:47am 
uhhhhhhhh how do i use this mod?
Dragon32 1 Aug, 2023 @ 4:55am 
@TheSharkJuggler
This only affects the deployment zone on the tactical map. If you're having problems outfitting a squad then it's not this mod.
TheSharkJuggler 31 Jul, 2023 @ 3:01pm 
How do you edit to allow for more than eight soldiers to deploy? I have edited the ini file to allow for 2 extra tiles and have changed RoboJumper's mod to allow for 12 soldiers in a squad, but whenever I try to deploy soldiers on a mission, I can only select 8 of them.
Dragon32 7 Jan, 2023 @ 12:49pm 
@Terminus1
It's not this mod, this mod is just changing one line in a text file.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say in the last sentence but maybe you mean "World War L"?
Terminus1 7 Jan, 2023 @ 12:02pm

I'll be waiting! :p
SMmania123 29 May, 2022 @ 3:45pm 
@=[NK]= Col. Jack O'Neil, @Chargerrich, and @XpanD. Ya'll going to lose your freaking minds when you see what I'm working one when it releases lol :steammocking:
Chargerrich 6 Mar, 2022 @ 10:23am 
Well.. damn... i run 898 mods... so I generally do not complain about errors lol. However over 200 of those are voice packs and another 300 are cosmetic :)
=[NK]= Col. Jack O'Neil 8 Jan, 2022 @ 6:47pm 
I have about 500 :/
TexasTwoStepGaming 8 Jan, 2022 @ 3:42pm 
@XpanD do you have a list of the 280 somewhere? Curious what that looks like lol
XpanD 27 Aug, 2021 @ 8:14am 
Just finished a campaign with about 280 mods, this one included, and had no major issues! Thanks for putting this up.

@CMDR: Mandalorian
OK cool, glad stuff's working for you
Alan 10 Jun, 2021 @ 12:59pm 
@Dragon32 - Looks like I do not know what I'm doing, i needed to get the Mod that allows me to activate the mod, its working now, phew... Only took all day! Thanks for responding though as you clearly did not have to.
Dragon32 10 Jun, 2021 @ 6:37am 
@CMDR: Mandalorian
In what way?
Alan 10 Jun, 2021 @ 5:32am 
Not working for WOTC...
Dragon32 18 May, 2021 @ 4:33am 
@MMF
Unlikely. It changes an .ini value in the Highlander and that's it. See this:

Turtle 17 May, 2021 @ 8:36pm 
are this mod, make idle supression mod not working?
Dragon32 30 Mar, 2021 @ 7:16am 
@[B*G]BENSON
Use a launcher that's actually good:

BENSON 30 Mar, 2021 @ 6:52am 
Apparently this mod is for XCOM2 only and thus wont load if playing WOTC.
o0Zeke0o 13 Mar, 2021 @ 10:44am 
Alright, so then i can confirm the mod is working (i never tried larger squads without this mod but didn't have any bug so far like other people said)
Vortex ♀ Pixalation  [author] 13 Mar, 2021 @ 9:52am 
Just fixes spawns, the sky ranger box already holds 9 not sure it needs bigger
o0Zeke0o 13 Mar, 2021 @ 7:13am 
Does this mod make the blue skyranger zone look bigger too, or does it just fix the spawnpoints?
Kresso Thaan 3 Jul, 2020 @ 8:55am 
ok thx for the answers
Dragon32 2 Jul, 2020 @ 6:45am 
@Lord Liamk
This mod doesn't set the squad size, it allows larger squads you've configured with other mods to spawn correctly.
For any mod to have an effect in game it needs to be enabled in the launcher you use.
Kresso Thaan 1 Jul, 2020 @ 7:44pm 
do I have to activate it somewhere in the game menu ? because the maximum number of units I can select is still 6
Let That Sink In 17 May, 2020 @ 8:17pm 
I love it when I deploy my 12 man squad and half of them are already on the site t-posing to keep the landing zone clear.
Dragon32 17 May, 2020 @ 4:19pm 
@capitaine raynor
Can't you set the starting squad size in MSSU to 8 and so it'll max out at 12?
capitaine raynor 17 May, 2020 @ 1:44pm 
hey ! I use More Squad Size Upgrades but I would like to go up to 10 or 12, which mod for wotc?
a replacement mod or an additional mod
I find it hard to find myself in mods sometimes

@blackhorse307
Are you using the Highlander?
blackhorse307 15 Apr, 2020 @ 2:53am 
im having an issue where i selected a 10 man squad. and the 10th man appeared under a building un able to move. i have MCM and robo's squad mods. any ideas what i need to do to fix the issue?
Vortex ♀ Pixalation  [author] 1 Mar, 2020 @ 5:41am 
You are welcome and yes, that would achieve the same effect!
Lebowskichild 1 Mar, 2020 @ 1:23am 
@Vortex, I understand.

Thank you for the explanation. In summary, I can use the Highlander only without this mod to get the same result. However with this mod I can track the change much easier and as I cannot see a reason for this mod to be updated any further, I would not need to worry about my changes being overridden.

Maybe that info would be handy for others, and could be put into your description.

Either way, thank you for your work and a very useful mod.
Vortex ♀ Pixalation  [author] 29 Feb, 2020 @ 4:23pm 
This mod only exists because of that HL change, by itself this mod does nothing, as only a HL can change that variable, the reason I made this is so that people unfamiliar with INIs and configs had an easy way to change the HL's settings, I also created to avoid overwrites when the HL updates as the HL defaults to off, this mod will always change the HL even if it gets updated unless the variable name gets changed

hope this makes sense ! sorry for the long explanation :)
Lebowskichild 29 Feb, 2020 @ 5:15am 
Hi @Vortex. Has this mod been integrated into the Community Highlander?

There is a setting in the XComGame.ini in the Highlanders Configs the same as this mod. What is the benefit of using both?
Vortex ♀ Pixalation  [author] 21 Jan, 2020 @ 7:05pm 
It does not get overridden or it shouldn’t as long as the WOTC HL is installed
TennoTea 21 Jan, 2020 @ 1:57am 
Does this mod get overridden by other mods? I ask this because I did a hard reset by reinstalling WoTC and the mods of about 500+ and this mod, the supposed fix for that, did not work because my starting squad of 10 are all over the building instead of the landing zone. PLease help?
