GAAH! It was a mod that disabled the standard classes; doesn't say anything about doing so in the description though.

@3D Master
This isn't my mod.

I don't think I've got any class mods that disabled the basic classes; because I remember several base class mods showing up before I installed your mod.

Also, didn't you write that the mod would put the class set in the character pool, along with two random ones? Well, I just promoted three rookies to squaddie; two of them were set as rangers and the third samurai; yet none of them were given these classes as options in the promotion screen.

@3D Master
Some class mods will disable the base game classes, maybe that's happened to you?

Also weird RNG and XCOM 2 kinda go hand in hand.

I have picked classes with this mod now for about 8 soldiers, the one class I installed this mod for: "specialist" has yet to show up as an option. (In fact, it has yet to show me any of the vanilla classes, only modded in classes). How come? How is it possible that this game, even with your mod in about 7 or 8 campaigns now early game, doesn't give me a bloody specialist. Arguably the most important early game class; so you can remote hack things that have a timer on it.

I am using 585 Mods. Yes, a lot, but I've chosen them very carefully. I can assure with 99,9 %, that no other of these mods tweak the number of choices as a "hidden feature". I went through all mods again, and don't see any relevant for this issue. The mods, that have something to do with promotions are:
amalgamation promotion assistant
Community promotion screen
[Wotc] Stats on new promotion screen

I also use Xylth's GTS (WotC). Can this interfere with the promotions? The number of choices there is also set to 5 (identical to promotions).

Other than that, I don't see any conflicting mods. AML also does not show any conflicts.

Are you using another "tweaks" mod that may also be setting the number of choices ?

@dragon32
Luckily I am still at the very beginning of my campaign, so it was no big issue to start over again. Unfortunately both of your suggestions did not fix the problem. Still only three choices. Thats in fact an issue, with almost all almaganation classes in play. Some more choices would be nice. I used this mod in several campaigns, without problems until now.

@Nephyral
Try clearing your user config. files, or maybe it needs a new campaign.

Changing XcomChooseMyClass.ini to "NumClassChoices = 5" still gives me only 3 choices. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

I have encountered a bug while using the mod. When I go to pick my class, the menu is empty.

Any chance it would be feasible to allow NumInDeck overrides via config here? Especially if it were possible with substring/regex matching, that could make it possible to weight Amalgamation specs.

@bashkimo
Just open the .ini and read it, it's pretty obvious

How to increase choices to 5. I mean which line in config.ini
Tx in advance

Really great mod when you have pretty much 100+ classes. Makes every run different if you set yourself with rules such as I only check the first 5 for unique roster. Kind of like an rpg if you will.

@StickyBackPlastic
I don't really follow but you can't just add values into .ini or .int files and expect the game to understand what to do with them.

So I tried to piggy back mod using this mod with regards to keeping the original Armory Promote Rookie button active in via the INI file, but adding in lines to the Localization file XcomGame.int:

[UIArmory_MainMenu]
m_strPromote=WHATEVER WHATEVER eg

naively hoping it would take effect - but it didn't. Was hoping somebody could shed some light on this to highlight my idiocy.

This is heavily based on Commander's Choice and has many of the same minor issues (using the arrow keys on a class' ability tree to navigate to a promotable rookie will promote them randomly like the base game, etc.).

In the latest version of "Commander's Choice" you can disable these keys in the config. If such a function is implemented in this mod, many will be happy.

Figured it out! It was an INI issue w/Amalgamation.

I just started a new campaign, and no classes are showing up for promotion. I am using Amalgamation classes, but the rank-up screen is blank. Any advice? Thanks! This worked in my previous campaign from July.

hey man, im trying to use this mod in LWOTC whilst also running amalgamation classes; ive set the .ini file to supposedly show 5 classes but it doesnt do this, its shows me only a choice of 2 classes :')

@Shiremct Thank you for the super fast update!

@Mr Nobody
That's not what random means.

so basically ther assesd during combat and how they preform dictates the jobs they can do

@Alucard : testing it out says yes

@Egir : if you change the .ini it should take effect the next time you play the game

@Krimi : Afaik, this only allows you to promote into classes that any normal soldier could. Therefore you wouldn't be able to have the Hero Classes as part of the selection, unless the base rookie was also of the hero character type, and so far far all rookies are not of this character type.

Hello. Is there a chance to the list a promotion to the special classes of the game? Reaper/Skirmisher/Templar. Thank you

Question: can I edit the in to change number of classes proposed during mid-game? Or do I need to start a new campaign?

For LWOTC, is hidden potential still working with this mod?

If you run this mod with "Show Stats on New Promotion Screen" ... there is built-in mod<>mod compatibility to show the stats on the class selector screen :)

Any chance of solider stats on the class selector screen?

Hi, does it needs a new game or work with a game already started?

@danila.shestopalov You need to edit the mod's .ini file. You can find it in your Steam directory: \Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1467643380\Config\XComChooseMyClass.ini

Note: If you use the Alternative Mod Launcher (AML) you can find this path by selecting the mod and looking at the "Inspect" tab.

You say that number of offered classes can be changed, but I found no way to do so. Where should i look exactly?

would it be possible to have, in a future update, get kind of a blacklist where i can put in class templates that will never be chosen at promotion? This way i could easily make classes GTS trainable only with configs

The disabled classes from Disable Any Class is not always consistently referenced - I've tried several methods to make sure that mod's variables were initialized before this one builds the choice decks, but sometimes, it requires you to go in and re-save the Disable Any Class choices in the mod menu to get it to pick them up.

Not sure how to get around this currently. I need to check out Rusty's new version to see if there is a better tie-in with it.

Great mod, the main function of multi-class select works. But I still have the promotion on mission complete screen and it doesn't seem to respect my disabled classes.

For some reason every time the first Guerrilla Ops Mission all of my Rookies auto-promote into random classes without giving me a choice. I've got a few different class mods running, but as far as I can tell that isn't causing the issue. Any help on this?

So @CaptainPetRock did notice/confirm that the mod does roll the same choices over and over again at the start of campaigns. Looking at the src code, is it possible to generate a random number at campaign start and save it off somewhere and use that to add some additional randomness?

@Gerishnakov Thanks mate!

@Jess https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1780885899&searchtext=rookie%27s+choice

Can this work with vanilla or is there a vanilla version?

Ini file is in 1467643380 folder in steamapps/workshop/content/xxxxxx/

OK

Was refering to @TrooperCoon

@Tot
Which classes? This mod doesn't add any.

Disable Any Class isn't even showing these classes on the list for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i can guarantee this mod still works with robojumper's squad select @Frizzledian12, something else might be the problem

Figured out what the cause was. Not sure how or why but robojumper's Squad Select causes this mod to cease functioning...

classes seem to still show up even with disable any class
