Update: I tried to remove "[WOTC] Community Promotion Screen" mod but the game still soft lock me in tutorial. So please disable skip unnecessary popup during the first tutorial mission and reenable it later
Sunbach 28 Sep, 2024 @ 6:10am 
NEW PLAYER BE AWARE: if you enable tutorial and have skip unnecessary popup on AND you install "[WOTC] Community Promotion Screen", after you rescue the commander and return to base, the game will tell you to promote Jane Kelly and the game will soft lock, meaning you will be stucked on the soldier ability screen, no back out button, you cant press esc to go back to the avenger. This bug only happen in tutorial, if you play the game normally then it work fine with [WOTC] Community Promotion Screen mod

For those who can't make adding additional alerts work:

Go into the mods config folder. Create a new text file there called: ISL_Settings.ini

Place your additional ealert commands there, as the defaults file is for use only by MCM and will not read any additional ones placed within it.

StiryMixy 15 Jan, 2023 @ 5:41pm 
I did as instructed when adding more alerts to skip

found "eAlert_ItemReceivedProvingGround" in launch logs

put it in the config under SkipInfoPopups, +InfoPopupsToSkip="eAlert_ItemReceivedProvingGround"

Hey guys, is there a vanilla game/non-WOTC equivalent of this mod?
TundraWolf 21 Sep, 2022 @ 11:51am 
I was starting a new game with this mod, RPGO+LW2 Classes and Perks and the tutorial activated (Because I don't like skiping the cut scenes) and then I hit a wall. When you have to promote Jane Kelly, the game should show a pop up (and also maybe a class intro cinematic, I don't know/remember because LW2 CP has different classes that don't show intro cinematics), the thing is that because that pop up was blocked and the flag to advance in the tutorial is tied to clicking the pop up, well I got stuck, the only way out was Alt+F4.
So disabling the "Skip Popup" option, until the end of the tutorial, fixed it, I would guess that the same goes for the class cut scenes.
Anyways, don't get me wrong, this mod is amazing, just for the skip Avatar camera pan alone.

Quick test had this working fine for me, even with 400+ mods including LWOTC. If it's not just user error and there is an issue with freezes when leaving the geoscape, it's either rare or takes a while to happen
Иваныч 19 Apr, 2021 @ 11:03pm 
With this mod, the game periodically freezes when you exit the global map.
0A0 9 Mar, 2021 @ 10:46pm 
This mod can solve freeze after mission on geographic map I think ,with Geoscape Room Hotkeys:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1538377657
this mod also. Just go to geographic map-click hotkey fast before infos appear.
Enlonwhite 31 Dec, 2020 @ 3:21pm 
this is a must have, for replaying the game....so much a must have.
THANK YOU KongMD!!!!
BlazinHothead 16 Dec, 2020 @ 10:42am 
"Skip Avatar Camera Pan"
This. Right here. Thank you.
Thalioden 12 Dec, 2020 @ 11:03pm 
Sadly, this mod conflicts with [WotC] RW Realistic Facility Upgrading .
Snip3s 24 Oct, 2019 @ 7:16am 
just call it no more pop ups haha
Snip3s 24 Oct, 2019 @ 7:15am 
Dude it took me over 45 pages to find this mod again you really need to change the name to a simpler one haha
Dragon32 15 Oct, 2019 @ 11:12am 
@Evil incarnate
Works fine for me too, have a read of what I posted in June and the links I posted back in March.
4rrakis 15 Oct, 2019 @ 11:08am 
Works fine on my end.
Evil incarnate 15 Oct, 2019 @ 11:07am 
Mod causes a game breaking bug that makes the game hang going from geoscape to avenger, don't use this!
Gaalidas 20 Sep, 2019 @ 1:24pm 
Odd thing... this mod seems to have never actually worked. I've been having an issue where, after showing the regions I can connect my contact to, it suddenly zooms in on a random location on the globe and just hangs there, with no way to exit except by console or alt-F4. I'm unsure if this mod is to blame, but I did take a look at it and all of the things it claims to prevent are still showing so... it's failing royally.
CallSignAlza 9 Jul, 2019 @ 9:21am 
You are my god for making this mod.
Csimbi 21 Jun, 2019 @ 12:33pm 
Ah, might be something similar.
I try to avoid it when I can, but sometimes I forget and then I have to start all over from the last autosave :-(
Dragon32 21 Jun, 2019 @ 12:24pm 
@Csimbi :
Not sure if it's your problem but there's this warning for "WotC: robojumper's Squad Select":
Known Issues:
Armory Screens reachable from the Squad Select Screen have a Hotlink to Geoscape. DO NOT CLICK IT. IT CAN CAUSE THE GAME TO LOCK UP FROM AVENGER DEFENSE. This is something I can't easily fix.
The same applies to a Training Center button. It is not supposed to appear.
Csimbi 21 Jun, 2019 @ 11:09am 
Hello,
when I go back from the hologlobe to the Avenger, the game seems to hang.
There's music and everything, but there's no menu or buttons to click.
I assume this is the softlock others describe below.
One thing: this happens only when I go the hologlobe directly from the armoury, after making changes to the equipment and then I click the arrow to go to the Avenger.
Does it help tracking down the problem?
Thank you!
Dragon32 20 Jun, 2019 @ 9:17am 
@McGibblers:
Not having any problems myself, read those troubleshooting links I posted in March.
Dęąth Viper 20 Jun, 2019 @ 8:25am 
please fix holo globe issue. It crashed my game several times but then I load game without this mod and boom no crash. please fix! thanks in advance
Carbonated Spinach 14 Mar, 2019 @ 3:24pm 
I have run into the same issue as Ghake, when exiting the globe, it softlocks.
Dragon32 9 Mar, 2019 @ 4:23pm 
@Vorcheski:
Not getting that myself, have you tried the basic Mod Troubleshooting advice?
That recommends the excellent Community Mod Launcher [github.com], which everyone who uses mods should be using.
This guide gives some more detailed advice on using the Community Mod Launcher: Troubleshooting: Mods not working properly / at all
If you've just switched from the Firaxis Launcher, or are forced to use it, read the "Mods not activating/deactivating properly in WOTC" section of Mod not working? Mods still have their effects after you disable them?
Zhake 9 Mar, 2019 @ 2:46pm 
Please address the issue of when exiting the hologlobe, you won't be able to click anything inside the Avenger, forcing a game restart.
[ATS] Theaq 22 Jan, 2019 @ 6:21am 
Thanks @KongMD. I had subscribed but it didn't install. Unsubbed and resubbed and it worked!
KongMD  [author] 21 Jan, 2019 @ 5:08pm 
@Rik You need the Highlander mod enabled.
[ATS] Theaq 19 Jan, 2019 @ 2:33pm 
Causes crashing immediately when I load my game (WOTC). It's the only mod I have installed. No crashes with mods disabled.

This gives me great physical pleasure.
ShooterACW 16 Nov, 2018 @ 8:57pm 
I have the same issue as JerC, sometimes when exiting strategy map to avenger the HUD goes away and I just see the avenger rendered... can't select any options or do anything. I then exit with the console. Here is the log output:

@Dragon32: I feel you on the misclicking, sometimes I wish I'd get a confirmation click for dashing moves since I've lost more soldiers than I can count by misclicking those lol
Dragon32 1 Nov, 2018 @ 11:26am 
@KongMD:
As long as it's optional (which seems to be your philosophy) then that's cool with me. Personally I like to keep the confirmations and most notifications, I'm terrified of mis-clicking or otherwise missing something.
KongMD  [author] 31 Oct, 2018 @ 6:45pm 
I've been toying with the idea of removing that 'Confirm Ability Selection' popup you get every time you select a skill during soldier promotion. It's a minor annoyance for me, but if it bugs more than just me, I'll take a look at removing that confirmation dialog.
KongMD  [author] 31 Oct, 2018 @ 6:42pm 
Done. I re-implemented the Skyranger Lift Sound Fix so that it would work properly.
KongMD  [author] 31 Oct, 2018 @ 6:09pm 
I understand why the Skyranger lift sound fix I included isn't working. Will apply a fix.
KongMD  [author] 31 Oct, 2018 @ 4:49pm 
Thanks for the reports, everyone. Can you take a screenshot next time these issues show up? Also, it'll be helpful to know if you are using default mod settings or have changed the default settings.

For the Skyranger loop issue, can you reproduce it reliably with a specific save? If so, it'd be great to have that to troubleshoot.

Try this: Turn on the Debug Logging option in the settings, and forget about it for a bit. When the issue occurs, paste the last lines in your logfile at a text hosting site like Pastebin or Hastebin and reply with the URL. That'll help me narrow the scope of the problem.
Lux Manifestus 30 Oct, 2018 @ 2:40pm 
Confirm the skyranger sound loop
Seti 30 Oct, 2018 @ 10:14am 
The Skyranger lift sound gets stuck sometimes, never stops so i have to reload. Also sometimes the text in menus disappears so there is nothing to select.
Jersee 29 Oct, 2018 @ 4:07am 
I don't know if that's the mod that cause this, but I assume so with the instant Avenger transitions. Occasionaly when I return inside the Avenger after the hologlobe my view is stuck, I see the interior but no buttons or any icons and I am unable to do anything, forcing me to restart the game.
Azure 27 Oct, 2018 @ 6:04am 
played with this on tonight and its as good as i had hoped
Lux Manifestus 26 Oct, 2018 @ 12:54pm 
Great mod. May I suggest another feature that would greatly streamline gameplay on the strategy layer? Removing all the confirmation message windows for all the normal and rudimentry decisions that are repeatedly made would speed up the strategy layer and make the game less obtrusive. An experienced player does not need any confirmation safeguards yet they must constantly be closed whenever playing through a campaign. Also, any informational or advisory windows are not necessary for the experienced player and would not be missed. Thanks.
