For that we wouldn't be able to thank you enough ❤️

Oh certainly - Il see about getting a standalone version released, to make it easier for those who don't want to build in modbuddy to just config edit schedules.

We're sure that RustyDios has a mod that edits waterworld schedules to include various others. Stukov and ourselves also have custom schedules related to our streams/packs. All of these remove the original schedules by config, which is unreliable at best.

Thought is: with this tool, using edits to it's config individuals can replace the schedules this imports with the schedules they individually use.

Thank you so much for fixing yet more of Firaxis broken nonsense 👍

It can. Its a fairly generic replacement script to match MissionName, sType, and MissionFamiy in XcomReplacementmissions.ini. You are welcome to implement it as you would like, but if multiple mods are attempting to replace the same missions, it may try to add a duplicate key and not read it in.

Thank you for clarification.

Is the code able to remove both LWOTC and WOTC schedules?

Ask because if it can, it could be used as an essential tool and then loaded with the schedule configs from various pack authors by players/authors to suit individual needs.

Fantastic work either way, as always.

the schedules themselves are in an ini. the code is to force remove the old schedules in lwotc and then apply my new ones.

Question: are the schedules being edited by code or by configuration?

(Can't download right now to ascertain for self).

@marshmallow justice - no clue, as dance of avatars and chosen is not in the MJ+ collection, so not something I use or provide compatibility with.
@william - not sure what happens if you don't have the required mods, either WW will break, or those specific enemies will not generate and be missing. Since this is replacing schedules, and WW has fixed enemy encounters, there is not fallback if using diversity pods, or pruning encounter list.

How does it impact with the mod "[WOTC] A Dance of Avatars and Chosens"? It is a mod that adds the 3 chosen to the final section of waterworld against the Avatars.

Prior to this mod coming out, I used to use that to make waterworld harder for Mod Jam. But I assume since this is rewriting schedules and all sorts of stuff for LWOTC/MJ, best case it becomes non-functional, worst case it borks both mod sections?

i dont have the frost legion mod, but i have all the other enemy mods. should that be fine?
AKA Illogical  [author] 7 Dec, 2023 @ 10:03am 
Yes, alien mods and supporting packs. I currently just don't use AP grenades or laptops, but they are designed with the collection in mind, so they will remain.

Thank you, @RustyDios and @lordabizi for the explanation. I still have a lot to learn, so I really appreciated.
@AKA Illogical: I assume you are refering exclusively to the alien mods of ModJam, correct? I use more than 90% of the MJ collection but not every single mod (you neither, as far as I know). Anyway, thank you for keeping ModJam alive.

Im also not going to add the 60+ required mods that make up aliens and their abilities that are being added. Il just add mod jam Refinements, since that will say "hey, this is mod jam content"

This mod allows me to force an update to the AssaultAlienFortress_LW to replace schedules. Since LWOTC (and more then likely vanilla) caches the schedules at game creation, it was causing numerous issues when trying to update them. This mod will do nothing without LWOTC, and will break without the Mod Jam+ Collection
lordabizi 6 Dec, 2023 @ 11:36pm 
Rather, Waterworld is just a fan nickname for the last mission. (the internal name is something like AssaultFortressLeadup)
RustyDios 6 Dec, 2023 @ 11:15pm 
WaterWorld is the internal name for "Operation Leviathan".. the final mission.

This mod adds extra enemies and integrations from LWotC and the Mod Jam+ Collection to this mission ..... at a guess ;)
Aquiles 6 Dec, 2023 @ 10:54pm 
What is Water World? I use ModJam and never heard of it.
Cylindryk 6 Dec, 2023 @ 10:33pm 
Okay, but.. what does this mod actually do?
Latis 6 Dec, 2023 @ 7:28pm 
this adds new enemies?
RustyDios 6 Dec, 2023 @ 3:45pm 
Congrats on release!!

Does this work with CI?
