Thanks Rusty, all working now.

Yes the AML is the better launcher (use the 1.6Beta Release, its stable and so much better than the 1.5)

@hott3
iirc that should be fine, if in doubt try them out together -- it might require some config work, I'm sorry I honestly can't remember

Thanks for the mod! I'm going to use it in my LWotC game along with "[WOTC] LW Mecs As Sparks" mod. Will it will go fine?
Eversor 23 Mar @ 1:51am 
Yes on review I do have a couple of spark mods but not a lot. Appreciate the advice.

I'm using the original launcher, there was another thread I'd read that said it was better than the updated one.

Is this what you're recommending?

This mod is just the framework for adding classes, and that sounds like a class you have added. Going by the name I would guess something to do with Vipers Class Pack maybe ?

I've never seen that error when playing modded xcom2, are you using the Alternative Mod Launcher ( if you are not, you should be as the 2klauncher is unreliable at best and at worst just outright broken)
Eversor 22 Mar @ 9:50pm 
I'm getting an odd problem that I think is related to this mod.

Firstly when attempting to load xcom there's this error about 'cannot determine mods that were used', which has come up before and results in it unselecting a bunch of stuff.

I thought I'd selected all my mods back, but when attemping to load the file I get the message "vcp_sparkclass is required for this save", which as this is about the only spark class mod pack I have I assume it's related but there's no mod on the launch menu by that name.

Any ideas what the name of the mod is that shows up on the mod launcher that relates to "vcp_sparkclass"?

So a heads up this does not work with WOTC GTS Perks For Spark Units it causes a softlock just beforewhen the spark unlock cinematic plays.

Pretty sure I tested this with the Starting Spark mod, without any issues .. are you positive this mod caused your crash ?
Ludwig, Shadow Protogen 30 Sep, 2024 @ 5:28pm 
I realised when using Starting Spark mod with this, Gatecrasher mission starts to lag then crashes the game.
Could you add a note in this mod that a classless Spark does not work with Starting Spark mod?

@RustyDios brother ur mods are just masterpieces... lovin all of it, keep up the great work buddy
TGalaxy 20 Sep, 2024 @ 3:30pm 
@Scroller & @RustyDios thank you so much y'all, hope u guys have a great day
Scroller 20 Sep, 2024 @ 11:24am 
@RustyDios - I knew there was something I was forgetting.
RustyDios  [author] 20 Sep, 2024 @ 11:15am 
This is just the framework for allowing you to choose dedicated classes for SPARKS.
So 'yes' it will work with Iridars SPARK Arsenal ... but ... you'll want to find a "spark classes" mod that actually utilises those weapons/perks ...
Scroller 20 Sep, 2024 @ 10:13am 
@TGalaxy - I've had both installed and running together for a long while. Unfortunately, its been so long, I can't recall if any tweaks were required.
TGalaxy 20 Sep, 2024 @ 5:18am 
does this works with iridar spark arsenal?
MrT 2 Apr, 2024 @ 6:32pm 
Update. Was finally able to recreate the bug after removing this mod. A troop mid infiltration became a combat engineer. It seems I gotta do more testing removing one mod at a time. -.-
This one appeared when I reached psi tech.
Sorry for the confusion.
MrT 31 Mar, 2024 @ 10:05am 
I got to the first retaliation with the bug so far under control. I'll be sure to drop a comment when I unlock sparks and start testing your setup!
MrT 31 Mar, 2024 @ 10:03am 
I am using All Soldiers Gain XP.

Went over the issue on discord. I was depending on 'Disable Any Class GTS Redux' to only promote into universal soldiers. Worked fine for my last play through. Zelfana seemed convinced it wasn't enough and got me to try 'Choose My Class' which seems to have gotten me around the issue while causing other minor bugs with the XP mod.

I'll double check alchemist. I thought I just cleaned my classes up to try fixing it.
RustyDios  [author] 30 Mar, 2024 @ 8:11pm 
Do you have any mods that do auto-promotion, or AllSoldiers Gain XP ??

Also the Alchemist doesn't have a RPGO spec, you don't need the class in RPGO, as the Immolator mod on it's own has all the Specs ..
MrT 30 Mar, 2024 @ 12:06pm 
This bug is being a real pain in the ass. Instead of immediately after gate crasher a promotion Covert op seems to have triggered it instead? I'm wondering if it's another mod that allows multiple promotions to stack is somehow a part of this?
MrT 30 Mar, 2024 @ 8:42am 
I've been missing resistance DLC apparently so going to give it another test run.
But yes regular rookies were getting promoted to seeming random classes although many seemed to roll Alchemy, there were some others mixed in.
I'll see about putting some screenshots in my steam to link.
RustyDios  [author] 29 Mar, 2024 @ 2:25pm 
Okay, thanks for the report, added to my list of things to investigate.
Oh, final check.. this is somehow making non-spark soldiers get normal class promotions?
MrT 29 Mar, 2024 @ 12:51pm 
RPGO Second wave option.
RustyDios  [author] 29 Mar, 2024 @ 11:19am 
Interesting... Commanders Choice (the bugged mod) or Commanders Choice the RPGO Second Wave option ?
MrT 29 Mar, 2024 @ 10:50am 
Something about this mod has been triggering automatic class selections for my rookies after gate crasher.
I'm using RPGO with commanders choice and hundreds of mods but once this one is removed the bug stops.
Tempted to try some spark mods but this one will have to wait. :' )
RustyDios  [author] 23 Oct, 2023 @ 12:30pm 
For THIS mod.. it should only be doing it for SPARK units... but there's a similar function in the one I based the update here on (Choose My Class) and in my redux/update/extension of the After-Action Report UI. (as well in RPGO and LWOTC and CommandersChoice)

For all class promotions past rookie the AAR screen works as intended, its just the rookie>squaddie rank that has this issue.
RustyDios  [author] 23 Oct, 2023 @ 12:26pm 
It was an intentional setting, as promoting a "rookie" SPARK from the after-action report has the high possibility of completely negating/skipping the hook this mod needs to allow you to choose the class, potentially leading to a broken unit
BlackAsher 23 Oct, 2023 @ 11:53am 
Goddamnit nvm, I just found the line in the inis. I've wasted so many fkn hours
BlackAsher 23 Oct, 2023 @ 11:47am 
I'm not sure if this is intentional but the promote button for rookies after finishing a mission is blacked out and can't be selected in the after action report, I have to promote all rookies from the armoury instead. It even happens when only this mod and its dependencies are used, and any videos I've found of streamers using this mod also seem to experience this.
ShinyNobody 2 Sep, 2023 @ 1:02pm 
Okay, thanks for the answer :steamthumbsup: i missklicked on aml on the wrong mod XD. sry
RustyDios  [author] 2 Sep, 2023 @ 12:18pm 
This mod does not adjust perks in any way
ShinyNobody 2 Sep, 2023 @ 10:43am 
The supernova area seems to be wrong. it is shown to large.
RustyDios  [author] 3 Jul, 2023 @ 7:09am 
Yes. Modular Sparks only cuts out the "vanilla" spark tree afaik .. so you could easily make a SPARK class with a new name, that uses the MW-tree
seby marx 3 Jul, 2023 @ 4:10am 
Can I somehow make this work with the modular spark mod to have a modular spark class and a non modular class like the mechatronic warfare spark?
RustyDios  [author] 12 Mar, 2023 @ 3:55pm 
Mod description or the discussion, even includes links
wolfboyrota79 12 Mar, 2023 @ 3:40pm 
Can I get the names of the mods that do that?
RustyDios  [author] 12 Mar, 2023 @ 2:55pm 
You have the mods that enable the other classes right?
As this is just the framework that allows those mods to add classes. Without extra classes/mods the only option you would have is the Vanilla Spark
wolfboyrota79 12 Mar, 2023 @ 2:48pm 
Well recently the classes don't show up when I go to select promotion and the vanilla spark class is still there instead of the "Do not use" class.
RustyDios  [author] 12 Mar, 2023 @ 12:12pm 
The only known conflicts to me are the two other mods that came before this
wolfboyrota79 12 Mar, 2023 @ 11:52am 
Is there a mod that stops this mod from working properly?
RustyDios  [author] 22 Jul, 2022 @ 11:01pm 
The issue is the 2k Launcher. I strongly advise you to start using the AML.
Youngbones 22 Jul, 2022 @ 6:41pm 
When I subscribe like I usualy do to install a mod, this mod and the ones required doesn't appear in my mod list in the 2k launcher, so i can't activate any. Anyone also has this?
CyberNeo 21 Jul, 2022 @ 8:52am 
I want to make an Class Pack Mod where I include Advent Classes into the game. I thought when you get the class "ADVENT" then you can choose an Subclass like "ADVENT TROPPER".
RustyDios  [author] 20 Jul, 2022 @ 6:01am 
Yeah, sorry. I think we're loosing something in translation here.

Maybe what you are after is something like Choose My Class ?

But normal soldiers in XCOM2 don't have 'subclasses' , they don't need them. ??
CyberNeo 20 Jul, 2022 @ 5:23am 
I mean a mod like your Mod only for specific Soldier Classes. I wanna know if there is a Mod exists.
RustyDios  [author] 20 Jul, 2022 @ 5:07am 
Well to be fair;
>> adds subclasses for normal soldiers

... is a little vague tbh. And also is a question that has nothing to do with this mod.

Unless you are asking for -spark- classes to go with this, in which case the question is answered in the description and the accompanying discussion thread.
CyberNeo 20 Jul, 2022 @ 1:57am 
RPGO is a no go for LWOTC.
