hello I'm new .. but how does the mod translate? thanks

I cant believe no one has made a mod that removes the 5 hour passage of time that occurs when landing and taking off, like, its so stupid, i wish i could remove it, makes no sense and only punishes you uneedlessly for considering your options that require travel.

People don't read.

the comment below you literally linked to a wotc compatible version

does not work with WOTC. Crashes on soldier list view

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1125698656 is the updated one apparently

when someone's profile is listed as 'private' it's a good bet they're just trolls.

@madoc4214: He wasn't talking "condescendingly" to anyone, -bg- just stated the obvious that ANYONE that spends even a second thinking about it should arrive at...

Understood. It's too much trouble to simply put a note in the description so people don't have to assume, guess, or read 7 pages of comments to know if it works or not. Instead you have to speak condescendingly to people asking about your mod.

for old mods, assume it is not compatible until said otherwise.

someone else made the wotc version, search for it.

That would be useful information in the description. Is there going to be a WOTC version?

This mod is not compatible with WOTC

When in the training center, selecting "start training" at the bottom will cause a crash with this mod. It should bring up a list of soldiers instead of crashing. I can repeat this and have verified this crash does not happen when only this mod is disabled.

there's a standalone toolbox someone made. i really should check that out to see if it gives everything i've gotten used to =)

ya delete the config from lwtoolbox is 3, delete config from this mod is 1, not deleting is 2

@ Yamino. good for you. that wasn't even remotely my point, but thanks for implying i need to painstakingly clarify my talking points so people can't jump in with unfounded claims of some other mod generating lag for them.
"So, yeah. choose between (1) longwar/toolbox info stuff (2) laggy as &$% geoscape (3) nice hourly countdown for events"

-bg- ahhh...all info was gone from soldier list when i tried that overwrite deletion in lwtoolbox. I swear community highlander claims to show defense now in that list (or was it just in the individual soldier panel?)

So that *new* update to the XC2 version would make it directly compatible with WotC.. right?

also another WOTC update: for the soldier list, I decided to just make a new mod for it, and make it show will and other info as well because it's going to overwrite the whole thing.

highlander stuff will work fine because they aren't actual overwrites, it only lags if there are 2 overwrites on the same class.

@macelharen: This + Community-Highlander doesn't generate ANY lag for me...don't use MCM through, just thought I'd mention it, since iIrc there were people reporting that getting rid of it had removed that lag at some point in time.

non-WOTC warning: for anyone using mods that display information about soldiers in the main soldier list, the fix suggested by -bg- (to deal with geomap lag) eliminates said info. it's all gone. blank.

So, yeah. choose between (1) longwar/highlander info stuff (2) laggy as &$% geoscape (3) nice hourly countdown for events

So, I made a quick-and-dirty update of this for WotC here . This only does the main upcoming events queue, though, the main reason -bg-'s doesn't work with WotC directly is that the code for soldier timer displays is much more involved; I just wanted to get my event timers back asap, so I stripped out that part. I'm doing remaining mission time and possibly grimy's aim bar next.

Possibly the most important trick(s) any player should have.. more so now with WotC gameplay mechanics of simultaneous events. Soooo -- yes, please -- asap. :)

please let us now about WotC compatibility, this mod is NEEDED

Mod needs updating for WotC. When clearing out a facility, I get a CTD whenever I go to the armory to view my soldiers.

Hello,

After following the instructions to the letter, I still don't have this events display in hours. I've reinstalled, I followed the three steps in your link up top, and it still doesn't work. What else can I try?

go to XComEngine.ini in the mod's config folder and comment out the overwrite with UIPersonnel_SoldierListItem

So this is the mod that is killing my Geoscape FPS when LWToolbox is installed.

Is there not a simple set of instructions one could follow to fix this? From looking at the comments, it seems someone knows how, yet there are no instructions posted.

Otherwise, sadly, I cannot use this mod as LWToolbox anchors a bunch of mods.

Just forget almost anything from what i wrote below.. must have been heavily tired and didn't realize everything i really need (for precise tracking of many types of Hours) is certainly present in the Avenger screen and its usual Event Queue List.

So don't bother fiddling with that solid code just for a small (supplemental) Barracks insert. Move along & i am sorry for having brought up a "feature issue" that rationally isn't & never has been.

OH.. but i *did* that small easy edit to your XComEngine.INI file straight into the mod.. but sadly, we just lose the "Barracks Timing" feature while doing so.
Thus.. i was just trying to find out if some new code logic could be scripted to prevent the guilty override process and thus allowing LW2 (Toolbox, etc) to co-habit with YOUR choice of better gameplay principles.
Gee -- i honestly don't understand why in hell they couldn't include this great QoL device straight into LW2 as a feature. Maybe they'd still need anyone's (you!) permission to do so?

In the meantime -- we lose some very good tracking toolset to monitor when exactly the injured or "In-Training" soldiers can return to fillup timely tasks within their usual pre-determined Squad.

You CAN use this mod if you go to config and remove the UIPersonnel_SoldierListItem override.

I really-very-absolutely-incredibly miss this must have QoL friggin' multi-Timing device of yours -bg-. More so than ever since these new LW2 slow/hours to react are much too tight & must be monitored very carefully to at least stand a small chance at optimal decisions.

I've got this stealthy SharpShooter on the edge of receiving a precious AWC pistol perk while a pending important mission needs him. Pull him out of training is so weird when 6 hours instead of 10 can make all the difference in a brutal world... Available or not.

Please do your best to update it, asap. ;)

@Cesa97☹
Works fine for me (and has done for months. Have a read of these:
Mod not working? Mods still have their effects after you disable them?
Troubleshooting: Mods not working properly / at all

man after installing this mod my game freezes after a turn, is it this mod that is causing it?

Embarrassing. Thanks

it's a class overwrite conflict that causes performance issues, see the comment below on removing overrides. The folder is <steam location>/steamapps/workshop/content/258500/621756954/Config/XComEngine.Ini

holy smokes. I installed this and my fps tanked. I uninstalled it and my fps went up. I have a slower cpu. I think something in this mod taxes it. And this switch was the ONLY thing I did. Hallow globe went from 23fps to 94fps after uninstalling. I know crazy.

@Nitewolf, Which file have you edited? How is it the game performing after you edited the file?

You are a legend, sir. Thank you!

yes.

Lol, I would never realize this one was causing the major slowdown. You said there was a guide, where can I find it, @-bg-? I mean if I delete +ModClassOverrides=(BaseGameClass="UIPersonnel_SoldierListItem", ModClass="UI_NewSoldierListItem")
from your mod, I will still get the other functionalities and it won't conflict anymore with LW Toolbox, right?

it's a class conflict bug ever since May update, there's a guide to resolve this by limiting features

Confirmed huge performance drop overall with LWTools installed. :/

Oh I see. No wonder you hadn't already done it. Thanks for the response.

That won't work, unless you are ok with the hours not updating at all until you go o another screen and come back.

Hey @-bg- I know you are busy but would you be willing to update this to use UIScreenListener for UIEventQueue_ListItem and UIPersonnel_SoldierListItem? I would really appreciate it. I love using this mod. Thanks for considering it.

SMTP(ersonnel) is just fine with SG/DLC, btw.

Sorry -bg-, since Show Me The Skills/Personnel isn't being supported anymore, I need to use Long War Toolbox, which refuses to be compatible with this

@Zyxpsilon Thanks for answering! Now I know on what aspect these two mods are incompatible.
