Added Gamepad support.

fixed a minor bug not selecting the very first item (cosmetic change only)

Updated to work with Mod Config Menug (MCM) https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=667104300

My Mod seems to interfere with the tutorial and the Sgt. Kelly Promotion making the game stuck there, anyone else having the same problem?

<<Fixed it>>

New Update: If you respec a soldier in the AWC it will now also respec the AWC ability -> opening the Screen for selection again. Does the same as hitting the respec button, but in a more "legit" way

big update, no more overrides!

made some quality of life changes to the code

added bDisableSecurityOnRespecBtn. This can only be activated in the config and MCM, but will let you choose an AWC perk without having an AWC or having a Perk unlocked. This is for soldiers which for whatever reason never got an awc perk or the retroactive fix is not working or other reasons (mod conflicts) which messed up your soldier not getting an awc perk.

{console command for AWCranksbarracks}
1) command only works inside armory
2) wont work at all before AWC built
3) wont work for soldier who is ready for promotion
4) will force popup on soldiers who already got an AWC perk
5) will reset soldier's awc rank unlock after class retraining complete

{console command for AWCranksbarracks}
1) command only works inside armory
2) wont work at all before AWC built (sure?, I look into it)
3) wont work for soldier who is ready for promotion (can't change)
4) will force popup on soldiers who already got an AWC perk (intended)
5) will reset soldier's awc rank unlock after class retraining complete (intended)

1) works anywhere really from the strategic spaceship (except of course the map) down to the actual soldier abilities page (might have to refresh the page by going back then forth)
2) yeah, if you set it before it'll (the yellow icon) still be in the upper right corner...and upon completion they'll all move to random spots
3) no worries...just feedback =)
4) ditto
5) no, you don't understand that last. read it again. in other words it'll remove my console command and reset to the old memorized random location (did you know that? is okay if you do and i'm misunderstanding 'intended')


all this depends upon, of course, one either not using the ini files OR adding the mod during a campaign

oh, and a request: that old mod had this:

"choose perk from: ALL PERKS, CROSS CLASS PERKS(with or without perks from own tree) with either ALL or a RANDOM SELECTION of the above"

so i subscribe to it to check out his config files (if any) and play a session with your mod disabled so i can figure out WTF he's on about and if he can actually deliver on the "in class" perk choices.

*sigh* 2 hours of extensive testing all for nothing. The 'inclass' option never worked as intended (vanilla, new campaign, all DLC, using console commands to get AWC facility and promotions)...i'm going to try and disable all DLC then test once more. wish me luck...
Not so far...going to disable the his version of the security override...
No. Never worked as advertised. A pity. Plus the repec button that appeared wasnt sized correctly...which makes me believe he never tested it.

uhm...so it seems like new recruits aren't set by the ini file as far as what rank the AWC is awarded. (back to random)
double checked the ini file itself, and it's fine as far as i've edited it for rank 8.

now, it could be quite possible that i've farted around with a dozen mods (subbing and unsubbing, and in some cases resubbing) which could have screwed up something in the recruiting menu....which in turn affected this mod.
I'll most likely have to start a new campaign to test this theory.

hopefully the issue fixes itself. until then this post will stay

setting the rank won't do anything until the awc is build and as far as I remember it won't work on soldiers recruted afterwards. It checks the event the awc is build once and that it.

ohhhhh. okay, that's great news: knowing i didn't screw up and it's working as intended. All i have to do now is manually using the console to set rank every time i recruit a batch. I can live with that =)

Besides, with the new tweaks you allowed i'm merely adding another of the three first rank perks allowed for each class. (after that i can use my polynomial rank mod to figure out when my soldiers reach rank 9 to use the console to add a second rank perk, and so on)
