I think it would be possible to add a command or prompt within the mod itself to search if there's already a character with the same name and use its model, no?

So if I already have Jane 'Quiet' Kelly in my character poool, will your mod use the one I already have with her armour, her class and head appearance?

yes you can change the armor there too. it literaly says :

; If true, Jane Kelly will use the custom appearance defined below
; If false, Jane Kelly will use her Tutorial appearance defined in XComGameData.ini

so change to false and she uses xcom armor

@tilarium There is a XComJaneKelly config file under : C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\2336174862\Config
I don't think you can change the armor, though, but the starting class is here.

Hello,
I have used this mod for quite a while and it worked flawlessly so far.
I'm also currently trying to code a mod meant to add back the narrative part of the tutorial, including a rework of the Commander mission rescue (without all the forced tutorial inputs and explanations), and have already used your mod's code to spawn Peter Osei and Ana Ramirez : this part works so far, but, as I have reused almost everything, I was wondering if it would OK if I were to release it one day on the workshop.
Also, I haven't still resolved the case of Jane Kelly, but, as I am planning to have her spawn on the battlefield (instead of the team or the ship), I might have to integrate your mod for this (instead of using it as a dependency) : would that also be OK ?
In any case, I would give credit and link here in the description.

Where does one go to configurable how Jane looks in Gatecrasher? Wanna start her off in some armour and change her specialty from Ranger to Intelligence Officer. Not finding it in the mod section of the options menu.

or CC as while not exactly a requirement is set up in a way that requires ini edits if you don't use this mod

if you don't want to use either CC or IO the games tutorial default of ranger works perfectly for Jane (i'd also only get this mod if using IO as it's required otherwise just use the Demos&Replays character pool)

Great mod, though you can actually just add Jane Kelly from the Demos&Replays character pool into a non tutorial enabled game and it will keep all her unique interactions including the comments made by the chosen.

Right now the mod crates a duplicate in case you play with the tutorial.

how will this function for RPGO?

Jane Kelly does work with LWoTC. If you use only the starting soldier mod she will appear as an original/vanilla WOTC Ranger. If you use Shiremects Proficiency Classes and the Jane Kelly plug in she will appear as an Intel Officer but only have 7 ranks. Crasher class works fine. Hope this helps.

Will this mod work with LWOTC if one doesn't use the Crasher Class mod as well, i.e. will Jane show up as a LWOTC class, or will she show up as a WOTC ranger?

When playing with the tutorial enabled it creates a duplicate copy of Jane Kelly. Due to how the second mission autofills the troop slots, the Kelly added by this mod can take priority of the slot.

hey big thanks for making a mod that has my favorite Character into the game outside of that tutorial. she kicks major butt.

Part of me hopes for a Peter Osei and Ana Rameriez mod, along side a mod that has Elena and Mox as seperate Hero Units along side a random Reaper and Skirmisher

The slider controls how often cosmetic components of a mod or dlc are used in random character creation. In this case I think it is the casual vest Jane wears.

What is the slider for in the gameplay options?

Hello. Nice mod you made here. In the ini you said to uncomment these line to go back to 13 soldiers instead of 14 with your mod, I dont understand exactly what it means and what I should do. Also how to make her start with her soldier gear instead of her civilian one? Ty

Unfortunately I don't believe that's easily fixed. XCOM can be quite finicky about weapon colour and tends to ignore the setting and use the default until you manually customise it. You can, however, change that default: Iridar has a mod that does that that's worked for me.

@Lago, When tweaking CustomAppearance in the XComJaneKelly.ini I am able to replace Jane Kelly with a class and soldier of my choosing. However, the color of her weapon remains the same beige color that you can see in the mods previews. Which is actually no color at all. You can of course fix this in the Armory once in game. However, I wondered if it was possible for you to correct this behavior? Thank you for this awesome mod!

I'm looking through the config settings and I don't see a way to adjust her Combat Intelligence. Am I blind or is this not a feature?

How do you adjust her starting outfit and what does the gameplay options slider actually affect?

If you're just running this without Crasher or Inteligence officer? She's jsut a regular Assault class so probably not?

is there a perk mod this doesnt work with? i've been trying to get her to work correctly but her perks get borked when i try to play with her. works fine in the mission and everything though.

Esta fantastico el mod Pratal Mox y Elena Dragunova ,bradford quedaria super para los que jugamos con el mod operación oculta que no permite hacer la mision de los abandonados

can you do one for pratal mox and elena dragunova?

Anyone know if this mod works with the starting soldiers mod?

Can you do a Mod for Tygan & Lily Shen to be playable in WOTC?

The Jane Kelly this mod spawns is a new soldier. Once she's spawned you can customise her like anyone else, but a new Jane Kelly will spawn every campaign so those customisations won't carry over.

is there a way I could go about adjusting her appearance for different outfits if using outfit manager?

The fact that this says "Viper Befriending" leads me to want to set up a deliberate chain of references (EG: Bondmates with a "Allies Unknown Viper" recruited from some new-arctic operation, ETC).

This has no bearing on the mod, I just wanted to share my sense of humour.

Agh if you have uniform manager and had some uniforms from a different campaign and start another it will generate the double Jane Kelly on the tutorial missions since it takes it like character pool

Thanks for the cool mod!

you can get her at the start of any game by doing the full game intro missions this will make her your first soldier and also doing this will not effect any chars form your pool or even any starting options you have edited into your game and adding in a mod like commanders choice with other class mods means you can make her any class hell in one of my games she is a tech speacialst hacker in another she is a normal spec class working as a healer

Thanks man

The Chosen quotes fire if you name a soldier Jane Kelly. She's just a pre-customised soldier, not a special unit type.

@Lago it is? You mean there’s a way to get the tutorial Jane Kelly using Starting Soldiers? With the Chosen quotes and everything?

If you mean the look, you can turn any rookie into her as she uses regular soldier customisation. If you mean the class, the way to do that would be to download the Use My Class mod. Then any soldier called Jane Kelly will promote to the class you give her in the character pool.

Is there a way to recruit crasher jane kelly mid campaign? I wasnt able to get the jane kelly starting soldier mod at the beginning

It's unnecessary with Starting Soldiers.

Is this compatible with the WOTC Starting Soldiers mod? Or do they conflict? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1147925885&searchtext=Starting+soldiers

to any that have the bug with only one person in the gate crasher mission it is due to you having not allowed the game to fully update the ini files this is why the second time you start one it will have more soldiers in it the way around this is the same as for any added mod you MUST LAUNCH THE GAME TO THE MAIN MENU then quit and relaunch so the ini files write fully and save this will ensure they all work and dont cause weird bugs like this have found this with a lot of mods and this always fixes it so i suggest that whenever adding a new mod that you do this simple step to ensure all is loaded and setup as it should be by the game

@Wazanator Had you the standard vanilla Operation Gatecrasher or was it a modded one?
I use [WOTC] Covert Infiltration and my first "modded" mission (Operation Gatecrasher) was with Kelly only as well. As I dealed the mission with one (heavily wounded) soldier, I did not need a restart and could take a look if this is just a case for the first time.

Had an odd bug where on a fresh install Jane Kelly was the only XCOM operative on gate crasher. Starting another campaign fixed the issue though. My guess is possible mod conflict but I'm not sure where. Not a concern because as I said start a new campaign but in case anyone runs into that issue as well try doing that.

Great mod Lago! This plus the Intelligence Officer class mod are a lot of fun

It's no big deal, I can just mess with her every campaign start, was just wondering if there was a way thank you!

The mod gets Jane Kelly's appearance from its config file, and it'll use that every game. You can edit the config file, though.

Is it possible to add Jane Kelly to your character pool after you get her from this mod the first time and then keep that one with new campaign start?

Ty very much.

You could reconfigure this mod to add a different character, but it doesn't have support for multiple. There's a mod called Starting Soldiers though if you want to completely customise the starting team.

Great Mod! any chance extra characters can be added to the files on my end or would that require them to have their own mod?
