Is there a list anywhere of things that can be included? For example, if I want to add Scanning Protocol, how would I include that?

@michael
Do what you want rather than expecting someone else to

@Dragon32 I don't understand. What do you want me to do?

@michael
Be the change you want to see in the world, start a Discussion and do the legwork

I'm guessing everyone subscribing to this mod will have a similar list of abilities to add. Surely there's a simple example of everything most people will want to add so that we can simply copy and paste that and then tweak as necessary; rather than go through 60+ comments looking for things to add? Better yet, a mod config menu in-game would be best, but I have no idea how much work that would involve. I'm grateful for the mod and don't want to be making demands or anything.

@e☆zy t@rget Thanks man.

I guess it should look as followed, but I was not able to test it yet:

+OverwatchAbilities=Overwatch
+OverwatchAbilities=SnapShotOverwatch
+OverwatchAbilities=PistolOverwatch

Thanks for the mod! Please explain it to a newb what should I change in .ini to make it work in LWotC?
I change it like this according to the description:
....
+OverwatchAbilities=Overwatch ; .....
+SnapShotOverwatch
+OverwatchAbilities=PistolOverwatch
....
I suspect I did something wrong. Please explain.

can anyone help me add long watch to work with ever vigilant? sick of the sharpshooter using their pistol

could you make a version where Ever Vigilant activates like Deep Cover does (no attacks made during the turn)

@Brucer
Looks like the right format for this mod's .ini if it's not working maybe the ability name is wrong. Best place I've found to find those is a mod's localisation files.

How do you add abilities to this? I'm trying to add Focus Fire from the officer list but Ever Vigilant doesn't activate still.

Currently set as: +EverVigilantIgnore=FocusFire

Any way to make EverVigilant cast multiple skills, like maybe Shieldwall Overwatch?

Off. LWOTC discord has a phone verification so I can't ask them. I'm currently testing this to see if I can get it to work in a LWOTC + RPGO build. I'll holla if it works.

So, this mod still doesn't compatible with LWOTC? Or am I missing something?

Btw, anyone needing to add the "Mark Crate" for Supply Raids, it is:
+EverVigilantIgnore=Interact_MarkSupplyCrate

You misspelt ‘stops’ in the first sentence of the description. No big deal; just thought I’d point it out.

@MergingApollo Did you ever figure out how to get this mod to work with LWotC? :)

@Veehementia Understood, thanks for the heads-up. I was not aware they had a discord! my prayers may have been answered.

@MergingApollo Probably the ability name has changed. I don't use LWOTC, so I don't know what the new name might be. You'll have better luck looking for yourself in the mod files or asking in their discord.

This mod does not appear to currently be working in LWOTC, even with the added +OverwatchAbilities=SnapShotOverwatch in the XcomGame ini. Is there something else that needs to be done, some other mod folder that should be looked into?

@Danik

I am sorry for my ignorance, but where do I change "SnapShotOverwatch", in which config file?

@Veehementia Ah I see it now, thank you so much!

@Optimum If you've found the ability in the localization, you should've noticed that above the name you see in-game there should be a line like this: "[nameoftheability X2AbilityTemplate]"
The name you need to input in the list is the one in place of "nameoftheability". This is true for almost all the abilities in the game.

Hello! I'm trying to have Ever Vigilant work with Long Watch (am using LWOTC), and am unsure of the naming conventions I should be using to add it to the list. I've found the ability in the localization folder but it's only stumped me. Any insight would be appreciated--thanks!

@Riekopo It means that the original mod was only for vanilla XCOM 2, while this one has been updated and fixed to work on WOTC.

I don't know what that means.

@Riekopo It's a "now it works for wotc"

Is this a bugfix or just a change?

@Nekcyc, спасибо большое!

Может кому и помогу:
мод с LWOTC вызывает вылетание на рабочий стол при загрузке! (Не всех миссий, именно тех, вероятно, где и он должен работать. Например освободить заложников и тд.)
Нигде про это не писали, и вы не представляете, сколько раз я переустанавливал LWOTC и XCOM.

Thank you @Dragon32!

@PopsurSocks
Best bet for finding an ability name is looking in a mod's localisation file. For "Free Load Anytime" I've added
+EverVigilantIgnore=FreeReload

I'd like to add the free reload from Autoloaders to this list but have no idea where to look for that type of action or others, where can we find the names of these actions to add to the mod .ini file?

I got Fortify to work with:
+EverVigilantIgnore=Fortify

I'd like to add 'Mark Supplies' from the resource extraction missions. Anyone know how to do that or how to find the ability names?

OIC...
add +OverwatchAbilities=SnapShotOverwatch in the Config/XComGame.ini

@aceboy_21 What's to explain? If you're using LWOTC, and want to make SnapShot Overwatch work with this mod, you must add the "SnapShotOverwatch" ability below "Overwatch" and above "PistolOverwatch" in this mod's config file.

Could you please explain for dummies...

For LWOTC users: add "SnapShotOverwatch" below "Overwatch" and above "PistolOverwatch" to make it work with Ever Vigilant.

TY

This mod works great in LWotC!

Id like to add a couple abilities to the list: Fortify and 'mark crate' (from the resource extraction missions). Anyone know how to do that, or how to find the ability names?

@fluppagus Issue should be fixed with today's update. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Update: I tracked down the first version of this mod on Skymods and it did work so something has changed with this mod between this version and no to break it for me at least

Hey I just completed a play through where Ever vigilant was completely broken and wouldn't trigger under any circumstances.
To trouble shoot I just started a new game with 0 mods, got through gate crasher and used console commands to rank up a specialist to ever vigilant and tested to see if it worked.
It did so I reloaded back to the geo-scape with Reliable Ever Vigilant installed and it immediately broke again. Any idea whats causing this? It was working fine for me back in June (I think)

@aramil_333 Yes, I know, I've fixed it with the latest update.

Have reactivated this mod after you reverted to older version on 20 July, and so far no issues or crashes. So it seems that something in your update may have been causing the problem.

By the way Veehementia, I have a Save file for a mission that crashes upon load, if that would help.........not sure how to get it to you though.

I can confirm same crash as Glorfinder and cube-m, prior to when you reverted the mod back to older version on 20 July.

It would crash at mission load into the tactical battlescape.

Crash log:

[0436.22] Critical: appError called: Assertion failed: appErrorf [File:G:\BuildAgent\work\9a884cb2af69f6ff\main\XCOM2\Development\Src\Core\Src\UnObj.cpp] [Line: 2456]
Failed to find function None in XComGameState_EffectEverVigilant Transient.XComEngine_0:XComGameStateHistory_0.XComGameState_42737.XComGameState_EffectEverVigilant_0
Stack: Address = 0xccd648dc (filename not found) [in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\XCOM 2\XCom2-WarOfTheChosen\Binaries\Win64\XCom2.exe]

Since it referenced problems related to Ever Vigilant, I disabled this mod, and the crashes disappeared and mission started and ran normally.

(I haven't tried re-enabling the mod since you reverted back to older version yet; I'll reactivate and use it again now.)

I had the same crash issue and couldn't figure out were it came from. Glad somebody did it for me ! However now the ability doesn't trigger at all (my soldiers don't enter overwatch at all after moving). I am using LWOTC.

@Veehementia It happens at mission start, it loads something then sound and video blocking and crashes to desktop. I tried the update prior to reply, it works fine now, I start a new mission like always with any problem. The changelog description seems to fit my situation, I have actually two or three soldier with Ever Vigilant... Thank you for the reply and the fix :D

@cube-m Alright, reverting to previous version for now.
