All values work but the abilities dont any ideas?

ive deleted the comman infront and it shows as

;Allows the soldier to walk through walls, the same ability the Wraith armor confers.
bWraith=true

For those who can't find it, it is directly inside the Steamapps file, probably not in XCOM's file (I couldn't find it inside it even with the search bar) use the search bar within the steamapps file and it may appear. It can take a couple minutes for some odd reason for it to appear
Hopefully this can help.

For help finding the ini, try steamapps/workshop/content/268500\620633882 it may not be the exact numbers of my file but it will be one of them files in the content file.

I just copied this message from a previous page that somebody else wrote because I was able to find it there, thanks random dude :praisesun:

@Dominus Thank you So much, was about to start tweaking looking for that.
angeluz665 22 Apr, 2024 @ 4:55pm 
Thank you so much, this mod makes getting familiar with the mechanics/strategy of the game really easy for a new comer.

I can build the vest, and I can see it in the inventory,but when I try to equip it to a solder, the vest never shows in the list of the solder's equip-sable list,why?

@Crimson Eye Raven try steamapps/workshop/content/268500/620633882

Can anyone tell me how to find the mod files since the Launcher changed everything?
I can still get them to work, just cant customize any of the values.
Savar Belmont 29 Oct, 2022 @ 10:26pm 
yes

Can I make multiple vests? I want to make like an A team of veterans and they're just stat max'd more or less to whatever their class is.
Vegeta002 23 Sep, 2022 @ 9:23am 
It would be nice if this came with several different vests, allowing for vests with multiple different configurations of stats at once.
blahturretx 22 May, 2022 @ 8:30am 
@Killer23 I think I know why. For some reason, anything that boosts your soldier's Will will actually reduce it by that amount. This makes any item that boosts Will more hurtful than helpful. The easiest way to fix this is to remove the Will bonus you get from the vest.
Killer23 7 May, 2022 @ 4:26am 
everytime i use the vest,all my soldiers comes back at max fatigue,can you explai why?
totoro 3 May, 2022 @ 12:29am 
@bambambeans try going to steamapps and then "workshop", "content", and peep through all those. one of the numbers in content is xcom and one of the numbers in that number is this mod. it won't say .ini at the end of the file, but it is NOT the .Xcommod
LachoTalko 19 Feb, 2022 @ 7:14pm 
Can't find the file to edit the vest, there's no mods folder in the described directory
GUTS 2 Feb, 2022 @ 4:24pm

(AbilityType=(AbilityName="Sustain")), \\

i just want the sustain ability and am not sure how to add? plz answer thnks

Would be nice if I could add lines for psi offense, like 'givePsi' or smthing. giveCriticalChance worked tho.

Nice! I have a lot of SuperMen!
MOD需要修改文件,在电脑里搜索cheatvest文件夹,在Config里,找Xcomcheatvest.ini文件,用记事本打开,找那些用分号开头的行,把分号删掉(只删除分号),除了2行,CostAlienAlloys=5喝CostElerium=4,如果删掉做甲就不只是花一块钱了。:steammocking:
KepinDeBrahmanto 23 Jun, 2021 @ 5:27am 
In case anyone still haven't found the .ini file, it might be in

SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\xxxxx\xxxxx just look for the mod folder there. I had to check one by one too.
TITANMASTER25 19 May, 2021 @ 12:30pm 
I can't find the Mods when I try and follow what you wrote, what do I do???
Aurora 2 May, 2021 @ 12:53am 
There is no Mods folder in my XcomGame directory. What do?
Brain_is_Back 4 Apr, 2021 @ 11:37pm 
Still, i can use this mod well. I translated this mod into Korean. I want you to add this file to the mod.

USE ALTERNATE MOD LAUNCHER. its pretty much a requirement now
Captain Obvious 26 Feb, 2021 @ 11:40pm 
Hi guys,
Since the new launcher I can't get this to work with WOTC.
I tried the below instructions but there is no "XComGame/Mods" folder for me to put it in.
Any help would be appreciated.
(I legit HATE the new launcher for messing this up)
藏剑待龙回 15 Feb, 2021 @ 4:06am 
why this mod can't use?
Germanfragger 13 Feb, 2021 @ 4:51pm 
cant find the .ini
Adam Jensen 007 4 Jan, 2021 @ 6:38pm 
Yeah the mods works I did not remember for a long time but your steps are correct thanks
jbkilroy 4 Jan, 2021 @ 6:29pm 
Here is how I managed to get the mod to work in WOTC and confirmed that the stats you edit in the ini will appear in-game. First, I unsubscribed from the Workshop mod and downloaded the Nexus version. (I'm not sure if this step is required) Extract the mod and put the CheatVest folder in Steam\steamapps\common\XCOM 2\XComGame\Mods (I know that's not the WOTC folder)
Now go to
Documents\My games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame\Config\XComModOptions.ini
and under
[Engine.XComModOptions]
enter the line
ActiveMods=CheatVest
Save the file, then make it read-only. The game will remove the line if you don't. Now the vest will be available like it should and has all the stats you set in the mod's ini file. Make sure the mod is checked on the manage mod screen, even though it has the warning saying it's not compatible.
huntergx 4 Jan, 2021 @ 5:21am 
If this mod is not available, can try to delete this mod folder from workshop folder and download it again, I fixed this problem form this way
Adam Jensen 007 25 Dec, 2020 @ 7:31pm 
I tested it again and it works those were instructions I told you before. You ARE NOT doing it right

Siwkann 25 Dec, 2020 @ 6:32pm 
@Adam Jensen What does that prove? That .ini may as well be used for vanilla xcom 2. Show me a screenshot of the cheat vest inside the game with windowed screen so we can see the title of the game. Like this https://imgur.com/a/QMsly8f
Adam Jensen 007 25 Dec, 2020 @ 4:05pm 
@P.M. This is proof https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2334827829&fileuploadsuccess=1
I don't have game installed but you edit these. It works 100%
Siwkann 25 Dec, 2020 @ 3:13pm 
@Adam Jensen Proof.
Adam Jensen 007 25 Dec, 2020 @ 3:04pm 
but no other vest mods can be allowed
Siwkann 25 Dec, 2020 @ 2:44pm 
Doesn't work with WOTC. It appears in the launcher but not in-game (To buy at engineering)
CyanFire 4 Dec, 2020 @ 4:52pm 
I also can't find it in-game. I researched hybrid materials, checked all the engineering tabs, and just don't see it.
Tigermask809 23 Oct, 2020 @ 1:04am 
WOTC compatible?
Savar Belmont 20 Oct, 2020 @ 10:48am 
its with the other vests if the mods active
Kill Jester 20 Oct, 2020 @ 9:00am 
Where can this be bought? I have edited the files alright and everything just isnt showing up in the build items menu. Am i missing something?
superman81906 7 Oct, 2020 @ 7:21pm 
@TeeJaaY Quit crying. Maybe ask some questions if you don't know how to use mods. I don't know how to mod very well and through effort, have made multiple personal use mods using this one as a template. If you can not handle a simple mod, how are you going to handle life?
Savar Belmont 13 Sep, 2020 @ 12:00pm 
@TeeJaaY wow... two seconds of required work as it's meant to be customized to the player. So difficult... Let's try actually attempting to use the mod... Then come back here and apologize.
ArkonisAelir 12 Sep, 2020 @ 8:06pm 
@TeeJaaY The mod works fine. It ain't its fault you don't know how to make config .ini edits.
TeeJaaY 12 Sep, 2020 @ 7:27pm 
pity this thing dosnt work at all. just gives 1 health and lowers mobility. lame. no way to alter it or actaully make it uselful. crap mod dont use.
Undecimber 29 Jul, 2020 @ 5:18am 
can not be finding in WotC, WHY?
Online Addict 10 May, 2020 @ 1:40pm 
Would be nice.
aylwin.s 10 May, 2020 @ 9:31am 
Out of curiosity, is there any way to add critical hit to the mod?

I tried adding the line
"GiveCrit="
but it doesn't work
