@Thathat

excuse me. i'm sorry to be a bother, but i made it all the way up to the last mission in base xcom 2, and the spartan 2 class just stopped working. i have the long war perk pack active, but the screen says the class name and says my troop needs to be a brigadier to have one of the base abilities.

I've tried to look for solutions and couldn't find anything, so i'm crossing my fingers and reaching out to you.

any idea if this will ever be made to work for vanilla again? ive got the version that works for WOTC but really fancy playing a LW campaign again and i enjoyed having spartans leading my trooper squads.

Looks like all the files inside the main mod file has disappeared. I had a look at the main mod file and it is coming up as an empty file.

can you atleast goddamn mark that this mod is broken

I tried to run in Vanilla but as said, needs long war perk pack, but not for the third row, but because it takes some abilities from it.
It should then have it as "required items" then, having it is not optional.

how i can equip other pistol than the basic one...

@NoX I just tried this and it didnt work. i followed NickG posting to a T but im not sure what went wrong. And im not sure if will be getting another mod like this one for a long while. It sucks cause i realy enjoyed this mod alot

I'm not sure if anyone can help, but could it be possible to fix the mod so that it uses Long War pistols? As it stands these guys can only use the tier 1 pistol.

I revamped this class into a boba fett-style bounty hunter with a gauntlet and a sniper rifle. The left tree has defensive flamer perks, the middle tree has sniper and utility pistol perks, and the right tree has long-range offensive rocketeer perks.

I found a solution. Just copy the old mod file into the mod folder for xom2. Take a look at the post of NickG from 29.Jan.

But thx for the reply :)

hmm might be that they changed LW2 after i made this thing, i really have no clue nor even the tools on my pc, anyone who can and feels like fixing it: take the mod, modify it to your need.

Got the same Problem as SonOfMan, dont have any abilities :(

No worries I use your mod for WOTC, but recently went back to Long War for squads and other gameplay mechanics. Thanks for the response either way. Keep up the good work.

Yeah this one is kinda on the powerfull side. dont take a squad full of them unless you laughing at advent tears.
choice in my case, and simple ignorence: at the moment i toyed with it, i honest didnt even know how i got it to work, it was a LOT of trail and error.

@son of man, im sorry, i have no idea.

Anyone having an issue when promoting your Spartan for the first time the ranks and abilities are completely gone? Unable to promote due to this bug. Currently, using the Long War 2 mod. If anyone has a fix...I would appreciate it.

Oh shit, is it even MORE OP? Because the original could kick some ass compared to the rest of the classes. Also, I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, is there a mechanical XCOM reason shields cannot be restored during a mission or is that a choice?

@Dmandorf it has the shield skill, it has the icons, but some of the skills are different, my version is a bit more...potent.

@Darmandorf you can still use the original mod if you put it in your XCOM 2 directory.

Go to " Program Files\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\808175375 " and copy the whole " 808175375 " folder and put it into the "Mods" folder in " Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\XCOM 2\XComGame ", if you don't have a "Mods" folder create one. Lastly, rename the " 808175375 " folder that you just copy/ pasted into your "Mods" folder to "Spartan-IIClass". It will appear in your XCOM 2 launcher and your game will recognize it as usual.

Well. the original mod got fucking deleted this morning, so I hope this is at least similar because I was right in the middle of a campaign and I am so irate.

Doesn't really work with LW2

not really compatible with lw2

@KuroKy you dont, its made with the perk pack in mind, not LW2 in its entirty.
ill allow anyone to take what is here and make a full non WOTC LW2 version since im only concerned with the WOTC version from here on out.

How do we unequip the default lowest-level pistol in LW2...

WOTC compatible version to be found HERE:

Commanders, Good news from the front. i have the custom abilities up and running after re-building it basicly from the ground up. now just some CTRL-C/V work for the correct abilities and all will be fine and ready to release. expect it today.

after fighting with it for 6 hours now: i have some good news and some bad news.
bad news: the WOTC modbudy is, out of the box, the worst piece of junk i have ever seen.
i literally had to mod the mod tool to make it work propperly.

the good news: there is progress, but its still not doing what i want it to do.
we are probably speaking hours rather than day though.

beyond that, Spartan A291 is correct.

Well... sh*t

Not so simple. Until Thahat has an idea for potential fixes there's no telling how long it'll take to correct the issue. It's entirely new code that doesn't necessarily play by the same rules as vanilla XCOM did.

Okay but when do you think it will be updated?

@Thahat, contact the modder Musashi, gunslinger and pistols guy he's pretty helpful.

@The Doctor, its 99.5% updated, but its the most important and stubborn .5% that i cant get to work propperly, im stuck on my custom shield and bash ability not showing up. already have a request for some help up on the reddit but.. this might take some time to be honest, because i dont have a clue what im doing wrong. if you know anyone that can fix missing locfriendlyname for none, let me know

When do you think this mod will be updated for WOTC?

Yeah, apparently correct on that. He ran into a wall with the Officer and Perk Packs, so back to waiting on Pavonis for those.

i suspect the perk mack may be a bit of an issue as he'l run into the same shit i am, the perks and the language files have changed quite a bit.
than again if he gets it quick and fixes it up that saves me some figuring out. we'll see :)

Was really just curious, works fine either way. And yeah, by default they have six shield charges. Comment was more along the lines of the other mod having gotten a custom shield perk working (I think) as you'd mentioned that being an issue. On that note, though, NStriker's been going through and converting the stand alone Long War mods for WOTC so the Perk Pack may not be that far off.

well to be fair if i would put recharging shields on id nerf the shields to like 2-4 health instead of the i think 6? they have now (havent used my own mod in a long time lol)

Ah, I see. You may want to speak to the individual who reworked Metal Over Flesh for WOTC, as I understand it they've allowed SPARKs to be upgraded to add shields on as an additional trait. Shot in the dark but they might be able to offer a bit of insight on the problem.

nope, no shield recharge, didnt need it either really, its was already OP enough as is.
havent actualy dug into recharging as actually getting the shields to work consistently was already a chore..
update on WOTC version of this: i have 99% down but SUPER frustratingly enough once again my custom abilities seem to have issues actually being displayed in the level up tree.
just like the first time i made this thing.
as soon as i figure that out its just a matter of selecting the right skills for a spartan to make them fast, agile and dangerous.

i really did like "you come too close i auto-shoot you" skill from the LW perk pack. may have to port that over seperately. first getting the shields and the pres B to bash to work though..

Btw, did the original version of your mod have shield recharge? For the longest time I was using Nafnaf's OG mod that this was based on and just sort of took it for granted when shields went down during a mission. I thought it was part of the game mechanics and limited as such until I saw a few other mods that allowed for shield recovery over time. Tried to go into the code of that mod and figure it out myself (and hopefully impart the trait to my Spartans) since I figured it to be part of the existing class perks, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out which line of code did it.

Hi there~ looking forward to seeing this class again. So recently this mod, "https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1124609091" came out, that allows three columns for skills. :) hoping to see your spartan class mods with three skill columns. If not~ two works too. Cheers~ and thanks for your hard work

@Spartan A291 good call, personally im in camp "well fuck im not going to get a 3 column index anytime soon" so for now im going 2 column.
easy enough to go hero mode later.
ive got the basics going, but some problem with my custom abilities (the shield and hitting them in the face wont show up just yet, and fuck up the progression so im working on it ;) )
fancy spartan icon and everything works so far at least, so thats a big plus!

Not the LW perk pack itself and still hoping that Pavonis is just being kept silent by the NDA rather than abandoning their mod, but on the off chance that you go ahead without a WOTC version of the perk pack... this may be of some use, hopefully.

Can you please post a link for the LW perk pack so we can get it easily?

well i already have downloaded the WOTC mod tools and im some way into a campaign so if the perk pack doesnt get updated i could probably wrangle something up.
will probably just make it a new mod and keep this one as legacy for people not going over to WOTC

cant wait

this currently requires the long war perk pack, and the perk pack currently causes crash to desktop. concider this dead in the water for WOTC as long as the LW perk pack is not updated untill further notice, and then some beyond that if there are additional issues.
ill be playing WOTC first to see what everything should be doing anyway.

if the perk pack doesnt get updated for the LW perk pack, i might scrounge up a WOTC-only version. (should be enough fun perks i can use now that we have 3 more classes to choose from)

So what's the chances on this either being edited or a version released that's compatible with War of the Chosen? Cosmetics seem to be largely fine but class mods crash the game on launch, apparently.

thanks

@ferocious gummy bear, im guessing you are missing the long war perk pack, or LW2, (i recommend the former) its a requirement.
