One of my favorite classes, hope you keep this updated, did not know this works with Reaper Reworked. Good to know.

Oh for sure, still around, I still do a few personal mods for one off games. Every once in a while though I get that Xcom itch which makes it fun ha ha, just waiting for that to happen again that's when I'll likely update all the classes and fix the Skirmisher animations on the Killer class.

Oh nice you're around still! And don't worry, do things at your own pace! Modding is supposed to be fun first and foremost :D

@IconOfEvil appreciate the support! I really do want to get back into this eventually, just after the harddrive crash and lining everything back up with proper steam id's for the workshop and setting up the tools is an adventure in it's own right at times.

As for the invisibility, it's even been a while since I've played Xcom, but I want to say it was not breaking invisibility even on the enemy turns at times when you should be revealed by being run up on. But it wasn't an always happening thing, just hard to pinpoint.

But yeah I think I just used Brigadier rank at the time since everything seemed to be going that direction. There's a lot of adjustments I'd like to make, but I just have to get back into the flow of things.

@Gava I thought the being invisible on your first strike was a feature of the class, not a bug. I mean it works pretty perfectly, I thought it was THE feature. It's only your actual target that doesn't see you first - if he's surrounded by friends, the Shadowstalker will get found, so it's not like it's unbalanced. I thought the point was to eliminate stragglers, etc.

If you do ever get back to modding and updating these classes, I do hope you keep this aspect, since sometimes it doesn't work, mostly does.

Also, a suggestion, why using Brigadier level rank? It throws off non-LWOTC games whose classes goto Colonel as usual. Why not just put them at Col for non-LWOTC versions and fill up the XCOM tree, or better yet make another tree?

Hope to see you back

Any idea why i can't select shadow strike? Its the only ability greyed out on all my Shadows.

Thanks for the replies.. this class kicks ass!

@Jepakazol That's good to hear! Actually this is probably the most complete of the 6, if any changes they'd be minor or to fix some bugs, like I believe there was one where you're basically invisible even adjacent to enemies.

As for saving changes if you want to keep it the way it is now just copy XComClassData.ini from your workshop folder for mods. And just overwrite the updated one with that file when it's updated.

...\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\2114087397\Config

@gava if you come back and change this class, I will be glad for copy of the original one. This is by far my favorite class

@TROCH22 Like Jepakazol said, you may need the LW extended perks for the Brigadier promotions. I can't remember exactly as it's been a couple of years (Might be coming back soon to revise them all though) but it should work with or without it you just may not see those ranks without it.

@TROCH22 - normal WOTC

I see 7 ranks. Is this for LWOTC or normal WOTC?

this class can kill with the wotc combat knife and stealth mechanics without reveal, works very well actually.

@Rusty | SkyPaladin It's been a while, I believe my original intention was for that to be the case. But I don't think it worked as expected, it was on the to do list to work out. As it stands with these classes I want to come back and fix/update them someday, but since the hard drive crash I lost everything. It would take some work just get everything back in order again and pickup where I left off. But it's not completely out of the question.

I expected Rangers to be able to silently taken down enemies with their swords, but was very disappointed once I started playing X2 to discover it reveals them. Is this class able to kill with a sword without being revealed?

Very good class u have here, hope u keep this updated, very useful.

Any plans to make it LWOTC compatible?

@nickmorris72 - vector is OP with this class.

My team -
Valkyrie - Gives the shadowstalker +2 damage buff
Psi Overhaul - Chaplain Class - gives the ShadowStalker +4% buff
ShadowStalker

ShadowStalker traits
Traits:
- serial
- the one that i forget its name that shots from shadow are crit

He cleans the final level by himself, in a single turn, on Legend, with Increased Pods size

Love this class, my favourite in the entire game. I've altered the config so it can also use shotguns )although I admit it's now massively OP) :). QUESTION: is there any way I can tweak the config further so I can select "tactical rigging" in the training centre? Can't see it available at present...?

@Nemo Hmm... last I remember it should be working properly, haven't touched this in a while so maybe something new changed it, I'll take a look next chance I get.

I tried this today. Every time I get a kill it breaks concealment. I use the vektor rifle and have the "kills with vektor rifle don't reveal you" ability. If it left her concealed It would be awesome. I love the idea of the class, but with stealth breaking all the time I feel let down.

One of my favorite classes. I use it almost from the day it was out.
After lots of practice my shadowstalker is the only must-have unit in my army.

@Gava In the short term a simple edit will make the class only available through the GTS. My style of play uses stealth a lot so abilities like target definition are very good for my game.

@silverleaf1 Thanks for the feedback, I haven't touched these classes in a while. Had life jump in the way with a good ol baseball bat. But I'm actually considering coming back to these classes to finish them and work on rebalancing. No set date or anything but it's been on mind.

@Gava This is my opinion but "target definition" seems like a very high level ability. It fits in very well with the class but should perhaps be available at a higher rank.

Best class ever ! Good job !

@Dellar Also it won't behave like the Vektor Rifle either, that requires changing some other factors that aren't as simple as this one is.

@Dellar I won't be able to get super in-depth with it, but there's a few guides online that should be able to show you how to do it. The location for this mod is ...\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\2114087397

You just change some of the info for XComClassData.ini in the Config folder. Keep in mind it is possible to break it too, so adjust at your own risk!

@Gava another question tho, if I change it, will it have less proficiency than the vektor rifle just like with the assault rifle? if so, how can I change it to be like the vektor rifle?

@Gava no worries. I would love to be able to change it myself, what would I have to change and to what?

@Dellar Sorry meant to get back with you sooner, but I don't believe the Darklance works for them. It's been a while since I adjusted the class but I don't think I included that as a weapon, it's an easy manual tweak in the class info if you want to change it for your game though.

The less proficient thing is basically just it gets one less stealth check. It's basically the stealth mechanic that's built into the Vektor Rifle, how you can stay hidden for longer. The Assault rifle will reveal you eventually after a few shots.

And sorry again it's been a while, I don't remember exactly, but I don't believe it will get the GTS upgrades. That may be something I look into in the future when I return to modding. Maybe even their own GTS upgrades if I wanna go crazy with it.

another question, can the shadowstalker equip Darklance and use it effectively? it's the signature sniper rifle of The Hunter.

Quick question: what do you mean with less proficient with stealth when equiped with an assault rifle?
Does the class also get GTS skills? Or does it benefit from both the ranger and reaper upgrade?
Thanks for the mod! Really like the class! @Gava

No rpg just regular classes. I am gona just the other class mods I am using to see if that is the problem.

@ScrmblesThDethDealr Hmm... this shouldn't overwrite anything so not sure what's going wrong. These classes don't work in RPGO if you're using that, that's something for later.

Disable any class isn't required but was just curious if you had it or not and it disabled for some reason. I tested it just now with just the required mods and it worked and also tried with about 90 other mods and they still popped up, if I run across a conflict somewhere I'll post here.

Should I be using Disable any class? I have added many classes and they all work. These aren't showing up. Something is conflicting but I have so many mods at this point it's gona be impossible to figure out which one..

@ScrmblesThDethDealr Yeah I haven't made any changes to this one and it's been working. If you have Disable Any Class Wotc make sure they didn't disable if they did that for some reason.

These work? I have all the requirements so if there is a mod conflict I have no idea what it might be because I have plenty of class mods added to the game but these aren't working for me.

@aredenrare Thanks! I appreciate it, still looking into tweaking a few things if some abilities turn out redundant or counterproductive especially.

Great class. I Love it!!!!

Truly looking forward to try this class out. Seems very interesting in my point of view;)
