Just installed the game recently with all my mods after about a year. I discovered that in latest installation this mod's proving ground projects have cost "0 Black Ice encryptions". This also happens with my other mods, like "Proving ground overhaul". I have 3 researches "Spare Parts I", "Spare Parts II", "Spare Parts III" giving 20%,30%,30% cost reduction. I tried disabling all other mods except this one for existing save and it didn't help. Looks like something changed in a base game so that ArtifactCost may go down to 0.

War of the Chosen Version

Here she is! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2280597326

Please Enjoy! :steamhappy:

Also any word on release?
Cody Bayliss 20 Oct, 2020 @ 7:30pm 
Also I think that she should have the effect of the Black ICE rounds effect in her shots. Because it is derived from her, so it would make sense for her to utilize it as well.

Ps, as I said I hope it releases soon, it is just so cool!
Cody Bayliss 20 Oct, 2020 @ 10:28am 
Please do release it soon! It looks so awesome!

But I am very excited for the ICE Codex to make a return.

You could also delete your config file, located in Documents/My Games/XCOM 2 War Of The Chosen

i look forward to the black ice codex for wotc.

there are many posts on the work around for the mods.

1. Open ModLauncherWPF.exe. It's located in XCOM2/Binaries/Win64/Launcher.
2. Old launcher will appear. Select wanted mods.
3. Start the game. Red screen will appear, but this is okay. hit escape until red screens gone.
4. Close the game with alt+F4.
5. Open new launcher.
6. Select wanted mods in new launcher.

@Exsanguinius: Glad you like the Flame Viper. She exists for WoTC. :steamhappy:

@Xarkorrn: The Codex for WoTC is done. I tried to fire up the game and finish testing, but it looks like Firaxis has pushed out a new launcher that doesn't work well. It doesn't recognize Mods unless you use AML (at least that's all I know currently).

From there, I've experienced an issue in game regarding Soldier Promotion. I don't use anything that Mods that part of the game, so maybe a rare edge case? Not sure yet. :steamsad:
Grimjack Hex 21 Jun, 2020 @ 11:38am 
very much enjoy flame viper. i'd like to add this too for WOTC. hugs : )
Alex Poland 18 May, 2020 @ 10:36am 
@Ashlynne_Lee Any word on the WOTC Release? Perhaps you could just release what you have right now if you aren't working on it any more?
strider_serge1 9 Nov, 2019 @ 4:18pm 
Great to hear it's still being worked on! Looking forward to having your full alien pack for WotC.
Alex Poland 8 Nov, 2019 @ 12:20pm 
@Ashlynne_Lee Do you plan to release this alpha version to the public at some point?
Alex Poland 1 Nov, 2019 @ 11:03pm 
@Ashlynne_Lee Great! I hope one day you revive her for us all :D
Ashlynne_Lee  [author] 31 Oct, 2019 @ 6:33pm 
Hi! I acutally do have a WotC alpha version of the Black ICE Codex. I'm playing with her right now. She looks a little different and has an icy mist particle effect that follows her around... pretty neat! :steamhappy: She never was quite done and then I got into some table top gaming development.

I just booted up the SDK and ran into some unexpected build errors with all of my mods so something changed with my environment. I "think" I've got it figured out, so I've got her project loaded up and am going back through it to remember where I left off. I think there was just some minor stuff with the rewards from her research. Other than that, she was done other than testing if I remember right. :steamhappy:
Alex Poland 24 Oct, 2019 @ 8:59pm 
I'm begging you: Please update this to WOTC @Ashlynne_Lee
Haybusa 16 Sep, 2019 @ 8:19pm 
Such a cool Alien, still have this scoped out
strider_serge1 26 Aug, 2019 @ 10:27pm 
Are there still plans to make a WOTC version or has that project been abandoned?
Ashlynne_Lee  [author] 15 Jul, 2019 @ 11:38am 
@Syro System: I do not think that would cause a conflict. Black Ice Rounds are simply looking for a Bluescreen Round in your HQ Inventory to use as a cost. So, as long as the Base Template has not been removed, renamed, deleted, disintegrated (even if meta data such as Damage has been modified), it should be fine.
Syro System 10 Jul, 2019 @ 6:26am 
You said this mod conflicts with mods that rename, replace or remove the bluescreen templates, but how about a mod that simply edits the damage numbers? Does that still cause a conflict?
cuckooman 7 Jun, 2019 @ 12:43pm 
Seconding a WOTC version.
Jakesullycom13 26 Feb, 2019 @ 11:27am 
WotC version or we riot!
jonlevir 6 Jan, 2019 @ 10:06am 
Favoriting so that when it's updated for WOTC I can get it into my game.
VoidLight 14 Nov, 2018 @ 2:54pm 
Yea an WOTC version of this would be epic.
HolyFarglesnot 4 Oct, 2018 @ 11:07am 
Glad to hear your alive! Good luck, and thanks for the work!
DeyVoid 7 Sep, 2018 @ 6:46am 
Glad to hear you've been chugging away at updating it to wotc! Def one of my fav enemy mods out there. Not enough Codex mods out there
Ashlynne_Lee  [author] 5 Sep, 2018 @ 6:41am 
@themidnightfoundation: Yeah, sorry for the delay. :steamsad: I do have a working version, it's just not polished or fully tested. I was working on a new Specialist Rifle to include as a research project as well as a slight change to how the Black ICE Protocol ability works. I got sidetracked and haven't been able to circle back.
President Jyrgunkarrd 2 Sep, 2018 @ 2:39pm 
I just want the author to know that I visit this mod every day just to see if maybe it has yet been updated for WotC, and shed a single tragic tear every time. ;.;
alp.witcher 18 Jul, 2018 @ 5:10am 
1+ WOTC
Joe Marotta 7 Jul, 2018 @ 6:52pm

Sir Luis 14 Jan, 2018 @ 9:41pm 
can you pretty please make two more verisons of the Black ICE Codex. my idea is a elite Black ICE Codex which is you know just more brutal tbh.... and last but not least a Black ICE Codex ruler. the Black ICE Codex ruler has to for sure be brutal. like brutal.........
HolyFarglesnot 22 Dec, 2017 @ 3:37pm 
Sweet! I love all your work so far, so I can hardly wait for it to come out!
Ashlynne_Lee  [author] 22 Dec, 2017 @ 1:44pm 
Yup, I am alive! :steamhappy: I do have a working version of the Alien unit for WoTC, but it's not polished or tested enough to release. She looks a little more flashy which I like! I still need to finish the research items as well. I don't really have a timeline atm due to work + holidays, but she is coming along. Thanks for the interest! :steamhappy:
HolyFarglesnot 22 Dec, 2017 @ 1:13pm 
Glad to hear your alive out there! Great mods, and completly nessecary. Got an ETA on the update?
Dai 22 Dec, 2017 @ 11:04am 
Would love a WOTC version
necro55 9 Dec, 2017 @ 6:19pm 
Any ETA on a WotC version?
Indestructibirb 5 Nov, 2017 @ 9:53pm 
IMHO Bluescreen rounds are strong as is but the bluescreen grenade I almost never use... maybe let her build a buffed grenade instead of buffed bluescreen rounds?
ErikVeland 24 Oct, 2017 @ 4:25am 
Very happy to hear this!
Wolf-Rayet 23 Oct, 2017 @ 11:53am 
Great to hear :) Thanks
Ashlynne_Lee  [author] 20 Oct, 2017 @ 1:41pm 
@Wolf-Rayet: Yep! Her game unit is finally done (which took forever). She looks a little different with some new particle effects and carries a new gun. I'm working back through all of her abilities now; cleaning up code, reworking the visualizations, adding back the particle effects, etc. It's a slow process, but it's coming along. She's definitely coming back. :steamhappy:
Wolf-Rayet 20 Oct, 2017 @ 10:19am 
Any WOTC progress with this mod? Love to have it back.
ErikVeland 3 Oct, 2017 @ 5:13am 
Very happy to hear these are getting updates for WOTC. Added just that extra needed challenge for Commander difficulty and much more spice to the game.
