For anyone looking at this mod, it doesn't work with normal WotC. Here is the WotC compatible version https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=852360493

I see no save scum button what so ever. Just "Load Game".

There is a LW variant of this mod that apparently does work with WotC, as long as your squad has a default soldier class [ranger, specialist, sharpshooter, grenadier] with it [or so the messages report].

The game also does not appear to be saving die rolls, though I think it is keeping track of reloading saves, as continuous efforts at trying to scum out a better RNG resault tend to gravitate toward the FAIL end of the spectrum.

Don't hold your breath. The author of this hasn't been online in nearly a year.

WotC?

Why doesn't this have a duplicate posting on the nexus? I can't imagine the reasoning. It would take 5 minutes. Please stick it up there. A lot of people don't like the Steam workshop UI or mod implementation. Can you put it up there for us?

Put it on the Nexus, please!

Sweet. It will be greatly appreciated ISky

This mod is broken in LW2, not sure if it's a basegame change or an LW2 one, but it fails to patch the templates, so you end up not getting the ability.

I went ahead and edited it to use a newer, more compatible method. Normally I'd ask the author prior to releasing, but seeing as gamedevjosh hasn't even been on Steam for over 90 days, that's a little less than possible.

I'll be posting it shortly. GDJ, if you come back and want me to take it down, let me know.

Compatible with LW2?

Thank you!

I just wanted to say that this mod is godlike, i used to spend like 20 mins just reloading the save because i was unsure whether the game had random seed or it was just f***ing wid me. THIS WAI XCOM 1 BEST XCOM.

Do you plan to update this so SPARKs can do the roll directly instead of having to switch to a human soldier, roll and switch back?

is this meant to eff up the sound

Found another mod that will break the Scum Roller. It is this one:
"Craft Loot! Build Weapon Mods and PCSs"

Never got this to work. Oh well...

I have 80+ mods running and HAD the problem that "Save Scum Roller" refused to work from some point on. The solution was "simple", just took a lot of time. I tried "Save Scum Roller" with any other mod combination, untill I found the one responsible.

If you use https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=642064130 "Tactical Advent Officer - Do you fear grenades?"-mod "Save Scum Roller" will not work.

I've been using this mod for some time and it always worked,
But now I've installed some other mods and the button is no longer visible in missions.

Might that be interference from Weapon Stabilizing? That's the only mod I installed that also adds a tactical button.

Same issue as Spikeruth: the button is not showing for me (yes, even for new missions).

The button for me isn't showing

Ahahahaha....casuals.

Seems to give me the same result when I reload and use it, then reload and use it again. Not so much resetting the random number seed rather than just advancing the tracker as if I had taken a RNG-based action, or so it seems.

Love it. Made a particularly tricky level successful.

Thanks for this.

Thank you good sir

It's not working.

I've grown to love this mod since my initial skepticism.

This doesn't work at all

Updating... it works, I am an idiot, I forgot to enable it. Good work, and thanks.

This doesn't work. I've missed the same 65% shot 10 times in a row with this mod.

nexusmods please

Could you please upload this mod on Nexusmods?

A very useful mod

Any link to download that mod for those of us outside steam?

Does this mod also work on Mac? I turned it on and started a mission but I couldn't see the save scum button in the button layout.

@daddy kon no but you can retrain the rangers to take phantom.

I have 3 rangers with Shadow Step that ended up getting the hidden skill Lightning Reflexes (which is TOTALLY useless with Shadow Step). This was the last dam straw. Will this work to change the hidden ability if I load my save right before promoting him at base?

If this mod had been out at start I would have been pretty interested. But since I already played through most of the game, I've gotten used to the Edge of Tomorrow style idiocy I can get up to with the fixed RNG. Instead of scummiong a single action you scum the entire turn until every piece falls into place.

Tk the reason for that is that while mods are fine with the Xcom team they really don't *want* people to save scum.

the mod isnt showing up for me in the launcher, please help?

I still don't understand why this isn't default and rolls aren't made at the time you take your action.

@gamedevjosh Could you possibly also upload this to Nexusmods ?

Good thing this mod exists. Its possible to change the outcome of a action but the chance is low and i dont know what causes the change. Would be so annoying to load a game 100 times before some magic fairy lets you hit.

Sad thing is this was a option in the expansion of the first game. You didn't need to mod it in. They took it out, no reason to do that. Think it's just firaxis being pricks so they can sell it to you again in the expansion for this game.

I dont even have an abillity. :S

Thank you so much! I can actually enjoy the game now, so you are one awesome dude!

Finaly, propper rolling instead of stupid pregenerated seeds! I would have tougth firaxis learned we hated that in the previous game.

you have to use the ability twice for anything to change

it does not reelly work for me :S it took time before i saw it wouldent work if i fired it up during a mission, well im past that now on a new one, i tried to move the entire squad, i even saved one who did not move yet, as i read somewhere a squad move would reroll chances. even so im stuck on needing to hack one of the scanning towers amd i get same result every time, wheather i move or dont move the last unit before i do it... and i cant see any "save scum" button like in one of the screen shots you have, not sure if it would be thjere or is just for show

"Note: Currently if you fire up a save game inside of a tactical mission, this mod will not take effect until you've returned to base and you go on another mission"

Jeezus. I hacked a Advent Mec 36% chance, and went with my ranger to swordkill the captain and grab that loot right next to him... She never picked up the loot, instead after she killed her she was stuck in animation so i had to reload....

Now i came looking for answeres because i had to load a previous old save and i'm trying to do the same shit to get back where i was.... BUT I CAN'T DO THE HACK!

I thought the game would give you the same roll when you loaded, but hell no. It has now failed the hack 14 times. To bad this won't help eather. WTF can a motherfucker do. I want to continue with the choices i took last time and have the same outcome. The game crashed, i had to load.

Gawd, i'm glad i didn't try ironman.
