It still works. Check to make sure you don't have any other AWC mods that can cause a conflict.

Does this still work? Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if I'm supposed to do something other than subscribe, but it's not working for me. :(

I love this mod and the whole idea behind it - the customization is great.

Does work when you select a soldier in the barracks and then select AWC abilities. There's a little button at the top.

In case anyone is wondering, the workshop folder ID for this mod is 897239708.

I confirm is still working, i started a part of Lw2 recently
however, you must use it in the barracks only !
after training and changing soldiers will not work
return to avenger , choice barrack , select soldier 100% work

Alright, thx anyway. Enjoyed it while it lasted!

Sry, I no longer have the means to support this mod.

Started another LW2 campaign on a whim and started fresh. Mod's not working. I've tried a couple of the other mods, unloaded this one and loaded it again to no avail.

i had the wrong version of this mod and it didn't work, so i unsubscribed and then subscribed to this one, but it still doesn't work, and i get a warning every time i load a game that it is missing the mod. any ideas how i can fix?

no

Is it possible to add option to add more than one scientist to work in the AWC?

Anyone know if this conflicts with Perfect Info or Additional Icons? For some reason, those don't work anymore & I believe this is the latest MOD which I've downloaded.

Hey, Leoli, any chance you got that mod you were making up and running? If so, I could use it as well, otherwise I'm gonna have to figure out how to hack together something along the same lines using the mod toolkit, after a day of downloading, haha.

Ahhh, alright. Overrides it is, then. I'll have to use the mod tools. If I can get the thing to work, I may post it on the Workshop. I'll mention you for your help on it if I do. Thank you again.

You cannot just change those files as they are not getting compiled when you start your game. Mods work the same way, making any change to a none *.ini in my mod for example will have zero effekt on your side. You gotta write your own mod or maybe edit an *.ini in a way that those perks appear.

Ran through that file and also looked at this thread and applied its solution:

Still can't get Lone Wolf to appear on my Shinobi. Do source files require overrides, clearing Config folder in documents, or new saves for their changes to take effect? I can't find anything that says they do.

Ahhh. I literally just had a thought that it might be a single line of code preventing AWC learning of any skill detected in their natural tree. Which is why I couldn't find it. Then you post that exact thing seconds later. Didn't think to look in the source files, though.

I've found it and will mess with that. See if just deleting it is fine or if a new section needs to be written. Thank you for your time, quick responses, and informative responses so far.

look for this function, it return the eligable Abilities for Offperks:
In LWAWCUtilities.uc function GetValidAWCAbilitiesForUnit(...)

I'm new to modding XCOM 2 (Just got it this week), but have modded many dozens of game before, including in this code. That crossclass thing. I assume it means things either can't be learned at all or can't be learned by other classes.

However, Lone Wolf, Bladestorm, Damn Good Ground, and others on most of the trees are all learnable through the AWC, just not by a class that learns them.

I can't actually find this crossclass array you mention other than a single line in XComClassData.ini that says it completely removes "Vanilla" LightningReflexes from being able to be learned by anyone.

I looked through all the large ini files and ones related to the soldiers and still can't find what's preventing AWC of same-class abilities.

to learn abilities through the awc the ability must be marked as crossclass and be the crossclass array.

(2nd Half.)

Certain class things like Squadsight restrictions are there, but they are only preventing the Sniper from learning certain abilities that have nothing to do with its actual tree. There are no Squadsight restrictions on something like Damn Good Ground or Serial, but Sharpshooters still can't train them in the AWC.

I actually deleted the entire restriction section in that ini. While my Specialist can now get Rapid Reaction from the AWC when before she couldn't (It was a restricted ability.), she still can't learn any actual Specialist class tree perks I passed up on during her promotions.

There's a class tree restriction thing going on somewhere, but its not in that ini. I plan on figuring out where it is. Maybe in Core or Overhaul.

@Vulpes
I've researched the AWC on the LW2 wiki. Lone Wolf can be obtained at Level 1. Heck, the code in the actual file reads like this:

"+AWCAbilityTree_Defense=(Level=1, AbilityName="LoneWolf"

The restrictions are in specifically the "XComLW_AWCPack.ini file. Supposedly, the entire AWC code is in there. There's a description line that reads like this in there:

";;; Restrictions ;;;

; unit cannot get AWCAbility if it is of type RestrictedClass
; unit cannot get AWCAbility if RestrictedAbility is on either class or AWC list"

The coded section after that descriptor is supposed to contain the restriction codes. The thing is, "RestrictedClass" does not come up anywhere in the actual code of that .ini. The GremlinHack thing you're describing does not actually exist in that .ini file.

(Cut short because of character restriction. This should really be a forum post with how long it is.)

@Leoli I haven't had XCOM on my PC for at least a month now. How thoroughly have you tested it? Maybe Lone Wolf is just on, like, fifth level of AWC abilitites?
And effecitively, there *are* class-based restriction. For example it's set so that anyone who has GremlinHack can't get Bladestorm. On practice, all Specilists can't get Bladestorm.

You mentioned editing the "XComLW_AWCPack.ini" file to allow classes to train perks they didn't choose on level. However, I can't find any code in there that actually has class-based restrictions. It says it restricts trainable perks both by class and if they have another perk that synergizes with it too well. The latter is there and I can remove it and it works. I still can't do something like having my Shinobi take Blademaster on Promotion and then take Lone Wolf through AWC, though.

Great mod man, thanks!

@mcb0001 The LW2 mod folder has a file called "XComLW_AWCPack.ini" that decides who gets which abilities. It has an "exceptions" section on the very bottom of it that - for example - makes it so that anyone who has "GremlinHack"(which is to say every Specialist) can't roll an ability like bladestorm. Thare are others that are included in this section of balance's sake, but if you get into the file with Notepad++, I'm sure you'll find your way.

So, to answer your question, just go to "Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\897239708" and find the "XComLW_AWCPack.ini" file. Edit the section on the bottom of the file(whcih you will prefarably access with Notepad++). Doing this should allow you to make tweaks you desire.

Is there anyway to get same class perks that I don't choose on leveling up into the respec AWC?

it wasnt commanders choice per se. but how i went about getting it, I think Second wave remasterd, one of them anyway came up as mod conflict in alternate mod launcher or me, however now i have no idea as at the time i wrote that slternate mod launcher had done several updates to include the Run WotC button and other stuff. soo disregaurd, it seems i was impaitient sorry. it had been mentioned and i recieved a similair error. which was very lemming of me, sorry

with the lw 2 update from september is this mod still working for you guys?

I dont get it what has Commanders Choice to do with this mod?

Damn, I swear we used to be able too edit comments, So i do appologize if i come off sounding like a whiney **%^*& On my birthday. Forgive me since i am so old, and ether thought i could edit my post or didnt realize I had made such an error to begin with. Thank you for any insite / imparted wizdom. I am greatful. thank you.

hey sorry to bring back vipers comment from a month ago but i am suddenely not able to use commanders choice, on restarts, no matter if i go throgh and actually attain the upgrade or start solders with squadie or higher,. tried killing commanders choice reloading after a xcom start with out the mod. tried wipeing the modconflict=. ini blah im not sure whats got that licked so i am only inqusitive here i have finally got alomost everything except that to my liking now i cant get that part its like 3 steps fprward only to find out the rugs been pulled entirely

Ok it's done: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1129770962

That would be very nice.
Thanks for your work.

I will make a new none LW2 but WotC mod this week.

Would you have a plan to update a version for WOTC?

ok. then it has to be the other one. thx

right, that I didn't know when I replied to you. Nevertheless, I can tell this mod only does change your soldiers if you click the "Accept"-Button inside the selection screen. If you never clicked it and you soldiers got screwed anyway then it wasn't this mod. There is no code present which operates outside of the selection, but a function which detects if you are in the armory and spawns the respec button.

Right. Thanks for the swift reply. I am playing LW2, I do know how the AWC works there. I am asking this because I got some stuff happening in me campaign that could either stem from this mod or the Veteran Training: Defense Matrix mod, which are the only mods in my load order that tamper with AWC. If you don't know what it does, see here:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=630074091&searchtext=defense+matrix

Now, the 'mentor perks' from that mod are implemented like the 'hidden' AWC perks. These 'mentor perks' are awarded at random when a training session ('patrol') is over, they are not meant to be deliberately chosen.

However, I had one of my dudes get one of those mentor perks after he got promoted afer a mission, and the dude had never lead a patrol. So the 'get-hidden-AWC-perk-on-promotion' functionality is still there somehow, and I was wondering which of the two mods was messing with it.

many thanks for the swift reply :)

@iriemk If you ask this question then you are either not playing LW2 or you play LW2 and you don't understand how the AWC works there.

Is this mod messing with the hidden AWC perk too?

Goto C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500 and copy any folder to c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\xcom 2\xcomgame\mods (your harddrive letter might differ from mine)

hi just asking, is there any alternatives for me to use this mod other than through steam workshop? because i dont have a constant access to wifi, and my mods disappear when i starts steam offline.

any standalone / nmm pack i can get somewhere? or atleast a workaround for me to use this mod with steam offline? thanks

@Gurren_lemfox Good :)
Have fun!

@vulpes it works now i jut forgot the tree locks out after your soldier advanced class , just reroll and it all fine and dandy

@Gurren_lemfox You can follow the guide in the description. In addition to what you've done - which is increasing AWC level cap, you also have to add possible abilities for each AWC level.

if I ever update this mod, I add a option to insta train them.
