Sadly it looks like we'll never get a WotC update

I keep searching for a WotC soldier class that feels half as good as these, but with no luck. I love all four of them, way more than vanilla classes.

Can you please make this mod compatible with WOTC?

The lack of this mod for War of the Chosen is why I still haven't picked up WotC and why I probably won't until it does, or someone manages to make a mod that feels as good as this one did in vanilla XCOM2. Sword and sniper rifle seems so freaking weird at first but once you adapt to it, it feels incredibly natural and amazingly enjoyable to use, and the supports have a proactive shield ability rather than an RNG defense boost ability made so much more sense.

I hope you have time to update this someday, Xylth!

I loved playing with this mod. I hope it will get a WotC update someday.

By the way, not sure if it's been asked before, but how does Focus (first reaction shot will not miss) interact with Lightning Reflexes (first reaction shot against user will miss)? Which wins?

so i'm using LWPP and a few singular class mods, will this add all these classes or replace some of the current ones in game already?

Playing the Vanilla class packs makes me realize how much I love this class pack.

Ok not the answer I wanted to hear but I underetsnd. Thanks for the good time I had with your mod!!

I'd like to do an update, but it's going to be a lot of work, and I have other projects that are higher priority. Maybe in a few months, but no promises.

Any plans to port the mod to WotC or to create a separate WotC compatible version of this mod? Love the Shadow Ops classes and it would be a blast to use them in my WotC playthrough.
P.S. Pretty please ;)

The only vanilla mods that will work with WotC are *some* purely cosmetic mods.

this mod will not work with WOTC just a heads up

The combat engineer is currently broken. I can seem to use it's abilityes. Everything else works great!

Went back to this mod while playing vanilla again. Please keep this updated for War of the Chosen! Don't want to miss out :)

This mod is causing significant fps drops on the geo-globe map. Is there any fix for it?

and also can you make this compatible with Tactical Rigging Mod or tell me what to input in the INI codes so I can add grenade/ammo pockets to your custom classes please?? Thanks in advance

how do I disable the hunter class?

Is there a list of which of the class abilities can be gained via AWC? The ability tree Google Doc doesn't say which of the class abilities can be gained through AWC. There's the AWC-only section, but that's for the AWC-exclusives.

Great, thanks!

ShadowOps_SnapShotOverwatch

Do you know what is the ability name for Snap Shot Overwatch? I want to add it to the INI for Overwatch All/Others ( ID 621695447 ) so I don't have to manually select my Snap Shot Hunters when using that mod.

Thank you! All of this mod is Great. (-:
Did you find the Unreal 4 code to similar to any other language? I've programmed in a few languages, and Unreal 4 code just looked like punishment from an angry god to me.

@xylthixlm thank you for the quick reply!

@VaultWolf this is for people not using Long War Perk Pack. It doesn't include the additional soldier rank and third column of ability choices that LWPP or LW2 adds.

What is the difference between this mod and your Shadow Ops LW mod? Would I be missing out on anything not using the LW version?

@XenoFractal no. Use "LW Combat Engineer", "LW Dragoon", "LW Hunter" and "LW Infantry".

Hey xyl, is this the version we should use with the newly released LW 2?

@Lago, new simplified Chinese localization and a couple of minor bug fixes.

What's in the update?

Hmm. Is it normal for those inside the smoke grenade radius to lose concealment?

For those who wanted just the items from this mod, they're now available as a separate mod: Item Pack .

They're all as AWC-friendly as possible. Obviously something like Improved Suppression isn't very useful as an AWC ability.

Are there any beyond those listed that would break with the AWC? Planning on putting most of the unused abilities there.

@Lago: Yes, the script code is identical between the two versions, only the config files are different. Swap away.

Given the internal restructuring of this mod in the most recent update I can't help but wonder if it's essentially the newer LW version with the original ability trees. If that's the case does the code for the newer abilities exist within it? There are several abilities in the LW version (I don't use the Perk Perk) that'd I'd love to swap into this, in particular moving Suppression to a default ability and making Coup de Grace oppose Bullet Swarm.

@pintocat: Just a recompile against the new patch for safety. There shouldn't be any actual changes.

There's no change log, but I guess the updates are for the patch changing UI?

But in turn those special units have less generalist capability than the infantry, making it remain appealing. They're well designed classes.

the dragoon (100% paladin skilltree) is a frikin' beast! the hunter's habilities are a great mix on both melee and sniper rifle, two completely opposed weapons both for range and risk for the soldier, the infantry is...welp...pretty balanced, it's also good to have one or two in a mission to feel like the "special" units are more "special", AKA if you see the grenadier/artillery as your footsoldiers the other classes seems to be...not so special, but the infantry makes to look like the other classes are "special units", like in PD:TH or PD2

The UIArmory_Promotion conflict is safe to ignore.

Can the UI changes all be safely disabled? I'm showing conflict in the UIArmory_Promotion as well as UISoldierHeader. I found the ini had an option and said it was safe to disable the Soldier header but I didn't see anything for turning off the Armory promotion change

Incidentally, is there any way to remove that "shadow ops has updated" message every time I complete Gatecrasher?

Got the launcher, turned out to be Reliable Smoke of all things.

I'm running about 450 mods, and it doesn't show up any conflicts, although the old one conflicted with? Tactical force? Another class mod

That would be a mod conflict lago. You should get the alternate mod launcher, shows any conflicts between mods

It's inducing fairly bad lag for me too: I don't get how a class mod would do that but it appears to cause me minor tactical lag and severe geoscape lag. It's a shame because I really wanted to use some of these classes, Hunter especially. I've been looking for a good Sniper/Sword class for a long time.

Really nice and fun class !
I just found the Hunter a bit weird (and don't use anymore the sword :/ ) and, maybe the dragoon a little bit overpowered like "I shale stand in front of all the enemys and do a lots of damage", but it's really a good mod !
Thanks !

id love to be able to get just the equipment that comes with this mod

@Jack O'Niel this is a known issue, pretty deep in the comments here. Been around for a while. At some point the OP narrowed it down to two lines of code, a bug that is covered up in the base game but his mod brings back to the surface. C'est la vie.
