Hitman? Monarch?

This mod does not appear to work for Long War 2 anymore. With only this mod and the LW2 mod enabled, the fist mission will have no objective and no future missions will ever spawn.
If you intend to run a LW2 campaign and are having a gamebreaking mod conflict, please consider disabling this one first to see if that fixes everything. =)

But that would require people to actually read those instructions.

I'm sad.

Ironically, all squad icon mods are still working for LWoTC. But not their life-saver selector mod :)

Game crashes instantly to desktop upon starting Gatecrasher on my end with this mod enabled. I do not believe this is compatible with LWTOC on Beta 2.

Are there any squad management mods for WOTC like LW2. Been searching for about a day and couldn't find one.
Sofakingcool 1 Oct, 2018 @ 9:49pm 
Someone plz make WOTC version
The Lord Of Lmao 3 Jul, 2018 @ 4:04pm 
Any chance you could port these over to flags too? I want the squad icons on they're armour too that would look sick xD
LeMarteau 23 Mar, 2017 @ 11:06pm 
Do you know how it would be possible to make the squad icons bigger on the map? Should we run the idea by Pavonis? Or would a mod make it possible? I've seen many nice squad icon mods and made one myself and I find odd that we can't see them proprely in the game.

Your better selector mod is awesome by the way! :P

The Great Garrus 30 Jan, 2017 @ 9:38pm

This is only for Long War 2. There's no squad icon selector in vanilla. Or squads.
Robo | TinyRick 29 Jan, 2017 @ 2:13am 
Does the LW2 mean it is compatible with LW2 or that it requires LW2? I don't want to play LW2 before I have finished the vanilla game.

This is great thank you

Savegame compatible ?
Darius Wolfe 24 Jan, 2017 @ 7:52pm 
Do you know if it's possible to disable squad icons via an .ini or any such?

Would love a crimson omen from gears of war icon.

@RJ.. Thanks much for the new size scaling screen configs..

I'll push my luck a bit further. Then.. can its Top-Left corner be relatively "flushed" slightly underneath the default selector arrows area, please?
Currently, it overlays the left-side Squad list panel.
robojumper  [author] 24 Jan, 2017 @ 2:27pm 
Added some config options for scale and size of the screen.
VeeDemo 24 Jan, 2017 @ 3:00am 
Not really sure if this is the place for asking for new Sqaud Icons, but could you make a icon with a bow and arrow on it? Does'nt need anything else.
robojumper  [author] 24 Jan, 2017 @ 2:52am 
@ava
Yep. like this.
ava 24 Jan, 2017 @ 2:43am 
Do the icons for this have to be in a specific dimension/format? I guess png with a transparent background and something like 256x256px?
CrudeCardinal 24 Jan, 2017 @ 12:40am 
@robojumper
Idk, use your creativity
robojumper  [author] 23 Jan, 2017 @ 11:46pm 
@RAGE QUIT LIFE
Tell me what Icons.
CrudeCardinal 23 Jan, 2017 @ 5:28pm 
could you make a mod to add more icons by any chance?

robojumper  [author] 23 Jan, 2017 @ 1:44pm 
Hey everyone. If you want any icons for your squads, just send them to me and I'll make a separate mod for the icons you send me. Please use common sense for telling which icons are appropriate.
robojumper  [author] 23 Jan, 2017 @ 10:19am 
@MiZta_Z0mbie
Just look at some other mods and how they did it. You need the 45 GB SDK though.
MiZta_Z0mbie 23 Jan, 2017 @ 10:14am 
Is there a tutorial somewhere that shows you how to make these Squad Icons?
Not a Bard 23 Jan, 2017 @ 8:45am 
@MegaTiny, I'll give that a shot. Waiting 10seconds for some processes to finish is much better than restarting the game and losing (a tiny bit) of progress.

@MegaTiny, thanks for the mod! This is a much more pleasant interface.
Zyxpsilon 23 Jan, 2017 @ 8:39am 
Thanks for this.. you just saved me at lot of code-silliness for my own small custom set (will be integrated into qUIck_LW2).

PS; One small request.. can the screen area be made configurable via INI settings? Like 7 or 14 per rows, etc??
Lora 23 Jan, 2017 @ 8:32am 
Just wanted to thank you robojumper for all the wonderful mods you make! =)
Evil_Kitty 23 Jan, 2017 @ 6:38am 
nice one
Whoa it is I, Gill 23 Jan, 2017 @ 4:04am 
@robojumper though waiting ten extra seconds after the load prompt shows up does fix it completely for me. I only get it if I 'press any key' as soon as it appears. That isn't false, and while correlation != causation I hope it helps some people!
Whoa it is I, Gill 23 Jan, 2017 @ 4:02am 
@robojumper Sorry the 'They said they did this to fix other bugs like enemies shooting through the walls and floors, at the cost of some stability' is just paraphrashing something the devs said on reddit and I'm jumping to conclusions falsely, which makes me just as silly as the person blaming your mod for the bug...

I didn't have this bug before I installed Long War 2, but your points make me think it's likely just the straw that broke the camels back on my mod list. Thanks for clarifying!
robojumper  [author] 23 Jan, 2017 @ 3:28am 
@MegaTiny
Everything in your comment is factually false.
1. The bug has been present since day one. While some mods might have made the bug worse, it's a vanilla issue.
2. Caps lock issues the Content Manager to fulfill all loading requests immediately.
3. Long War 2 does not modify the loading process. The World Data build has been made single-threaded which makes the visibility calculations make less mistakes.
Whoa it is I, Gill 23 Jan, 2017 @ 3:06am 
@Master Roshi ._. The 'under the avenger' bug is caused by Long War skipping several things in the loading process (similar to you pressing capslock to skip it, which could cause the bug in Vanilla). They said they did this to fix other bugs like enemies shooting through the walls and floors, at the cost of some stability.

If you want to avoid it completely just wait an extra ten seconds or so after the 'press any key' prompt. Since I started doing this I haven't seen it once (except for when I forgot and kicked myself for being hasty).
robojumper  [author] 23 Jan, 2017 @ 2:11am 
@Professor Spank It
Sorry about that. It's fixed now.
PotatoAim2k1 22 Jan, 2017 @ 10:14pm 
Nice mod, but one major problem: For me, it causes the squad management menu to stay open when you try to view a squad. The window never goes away, making it difficult to customize soldiers and squads.
DERPKING1991 22 Jan, 2017 @ 8:52pm 
Be carefull this may give you the "under the advenger" bug like it did me
JLtheking 22 Jan, 2017 @ 7:47pm 
Wow. Robo being on point as usual making everyone's lives better. Good job!
Hoki 22 Jan, 2017 @ 7:38pm 
no.

the squadsytem is part of the LW2-mod. its cpntent that doesnt exist in vanilla game.
76561198049919792 22 Jan, 2017 @ 6:31pm 
what is this
Do not play LW2 can use this MOD?
