@kyloben89 (and anyone else that wants to change the number of class options:

Navigate to your steam workshop install file Config folder

X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1942730184\Config

Open the XComRookiesChoiceWotC.ini file with notepad

At the end of the file on line six find the entry "MaxChoices=3"

Change the 3 to 7 (or whatever number of class options you desire)

Save the file and exit notepad.

Hey, amazing mod but I was wondering, Xylth's GTS shows current soldiers in barracks and available of the class when you are selecting what class to train a rookie in the GTS. Is there any way to integrate that into this mod, or is that something that only works on the GTS?

If somebody wants to have the Stats panel with this mod, just subscribe to [WOTC] Stats on New Promotion Screen (if you haven´t already) and add to its Config/XComUI.ini:
+DisplayMappings=(ScreenClass="UIChooseClass_RookiesChoiceWotC", PositionProfile="PawnRight")

anyway to cut out certain classes from the list?

Sadly, I think that is a bit beyond my limited skill but I agree it would be handy! If I see a mod that will show this I'll link it here.

Is there ever going to be a GTS training that can be train for zero day?
Thror 30 Mar, 2021 @ 12:37pm 
is there any way to incorporate a stats panel into the 'choose a class' page, similar to 'stats on new promotion'? playing with NCE/lwotc means some soldiers just arent suited to certain classes, and currently this leads to clicking promote, checking what classes the rookie could be, hitting esc to go back and look at stats, and then doing the promote again, selecting an appropriate class for the soldier.

Thank you for the mod and for the directions how to alter the # of classes showing! Commander's choice wasn't working for some reason but this is working perfectly. To let you know, for me the folder name/# was 1942730184 as opposed to 1580764750.

my modded classes are not appearing, help?

Bugged, does not work.
Canidaeus  [author] 7 Feb, 2020 @ 1:53pm 
If you just want to pick from all the classes, then Commander's Choice would be a better...choice.
You can use the ini settings to increase the selection to the total number of available classes though:
In the mod directory (by default) C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1580764750\Config
is XComRookiesChoiceWotC.ini
In that file, you can change MaxChoices=3 to however many classes you have and future promoted soldiers will have access to all classes.

Or just get RPG Overhaul, and Commander's Choice.

How can i make it so More then 3 classes appear when i lvl up a rookie, is there a way i can increase it so it displays all classes insted of 3

Re: A question if you don't mind: This mod still obeys to GTS restrictions, right? So +NumInForcedDeck=0 Class should never appear as a random option?

Yes, I have not altered the behaviour so it still obeys the following conditions:
SoldierClassTemplate.NumInForcedDeck > 0 && !SoldierClassTemplate.bMultiplayerOnly

Canidaeus any update for GTS version? Naturally i post on original author's page first but xylthixlm is silent so far. He might be no longer interested with original mod. His mod is really one of a kind on Workshop.
Lebowskichild 24 Dec, 2019 @ 3:39pm 
@InterventoR, thanks for the heads up. Not quite sure how a mod that allows the player to choose soldier class at level up has issues with any missions though.

Maybe I'll try this mod instead just to see how things work out.

That mod and its companion mod Use My Class (WOTC) allegedly has some issues with pre-determined missions (ex. Shen's Last Gift), according to some reports. I prefer less "invasive" version to pick, if any. Thanks again Canidaeus. I hope you can get permission for GTS version as well. For reference, i'm planning to use 3 pick for Rookies and 6 pick for GTS setup for a relatively balanced and thematically "make sense" setup. (Since i'm using a lot of Classes.)
Lebowskichild 22 Dec, 2019 @ 3:53am 
Well, at least people now have a choice. Thanks for the quick response.
Canidaeus  [author] 22 Dec, 2019 @ 3:49am 
Heh, its the same thing, but as I was asked by a few people to update my mod I did that without knowing the other already exists.
Lebowskichild 22 Dec, 2019 @ 3:46am 
Is there any difference/benefit to using this mod rather than [WOTC] Choose My Class?

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1467643380

They seem to do the same thing but thought I would check for any difference on your end.
Canidaeus  [author] 22 Dec, 2019 @ 3:44am 
It was fairly easy to convert, but I haven't been able to do much testing, so if it doesn't work fully let me know and I will see what I can do to sort it out. I can have a look into the GTS mod and see if that can be converted.
InterventoR 22 Dec, 2019 @ 1:40am 
That was fast, thank you. Do you think that Xylthixlm might update his mod as well? If not, maybe you can port his work too, with his permission perhaps?
