There is updated version of this mod:
Made by Noveva, link to that mod:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2848335074

Interestingly, if you try this with singleplayer, it gives you a Medical Doctor to start out with your Captain and Mechanic instead of an Engineer.

doesnt seem to work for us, we're running a RP campaign with 14 players and they get random roles assigned

not sure, but i think u need to use allowalways="true" at all roles

initialcount="1" is needed to submarine editor

ill try to test it out brother =-]

Can anyone confirm that it works indeed?

The mod has been updated. Please have a look and test it!

I would use it again if it was updated

I'd love it if you can update this mod since it no longer works. I've posted the error message so you can debug&fix it. If you'd like you can patch it.

Yes please, very interested. Would look forward to an update

Hi all!

it may seem that latest update has broke this mod and you are unable to enable it without getting an error that disables the mod again.

He didn't say to fix it, he just declared, he wants update.

Why? It works...

pls update

ok ty

No, this mod touches only the jobs.xml file.

Does this edit the human.xml file

I doubt that there would be mod for forcing one of each class. But it can be done easily, we can discuss it privately.

Not sure were else to ask for this, is there a mod that attempts to force 1 of each class or a way i can customize this one to do that? I've been testing a pvp ship that was based around the idea 6v6 one of each class but game have awkward problems with class stacking.

Dear Followers! It is not my mod's fault, same thing reported at Into The Abyss mod.

I have been having the same issue as Daddy for a couple of players on a campaign. They were medic and engi if that helps.

well made! Im really thankful you spent time creating such a useful tool.
honestly, great work!!

I never received similar report or experienced issue like that. Could you explain why do you think exactly, this mod causes skill lose for you, please?

I think this made us lose skills every time we docked..

Thank you very much! If anybody having any issue, feel free to contact me, or maybe better to write it up here, to let others see the solution for the given topic.

Thank you Mason. The new patch should help with a lot of issues we've been having. I'll keep advising crew that didn't get their pick of role to reroll. Thanks again!

It turned out, it was an issue from the original gameplay.
In their latest hotfix they declared:

"We have just released a patch to fix issues in the latest update. Notably, character resetting between multiplayer campaign rounds and issues with job assignment have been addressed."

As it is in the description, I removed the auto team balance from the roles.
The mod does exactly what it needs to. However, sometimes there is circumstance, when you are selecting a role, (usually at the very beginning of the Campaign/New Campaign) and one or two players are getting different roles instead of the desired one. We met with this phenomenon few times, but we were able to solve this issue by creating a new character while we are in-game on the submarine. (Tab/Human figure icon/Select the role that you want again/Create new) [This will go live when you start a mission or docking into an outpost]
Unfortunately, I have no power beyond that, there is nothing that I could tweak in this mod regarding the random role selection. As I mentioned, the chances are low, but if you would get it, the solution is above. Hope it helps for everyone!

Mason, after getting used what this mod does, I consider it essential. Thank you for this mod, Mason!

Hi Mason, I was hosting the game with Geronimo where we had issues. No Role Balance and submarines by Fox (The full line, R0-Q Rorqual Heavy Freighter was in use at the time) were the only mods present. Geronimo was unable to join. Geronimo verified files and preloaded No Role Balance before trying to rejoin. I reformed the server without No Role Balance and they were able to join. We also had instances of players not getting their picked class even after I advised everyone to leave secondary roles blank. Any idea why this might have happened? Can you make some suggestions that might help us getting the mod working for us? I hope this is helpful.

Can anybody else confirm that they having similar connection issues while using this mod?

we are running just this mod in a playthrough. so far it seems to not always work or at times prevents people from joining the session.

When latest Barotrauma update kicked in, we started a Vanilla campaign while using this mod & it works perfectly.
(The update did not affect this mod)

any word on a update?

Must-have mod

This is best mod. Thank you for this mod!
