Does it work with WOTC?

Is there a WOTC version of this mod, under a different name?

Yes it works

Anyone know if this works as of 2022?

Hm... tryin to find a mod that makes it so that overwatch is applied to all characters (enemies including, and those who can actually overwatch) at the end of the turn. i want fire fights where moving at all means chancing getting shot.

I know theres dark events that give the enemy overwatch when your concealment breaks but thats not good enough. i need every single possible overwatch to just auto apply where ever possible for all sides.

Haha I feel your pain. Good luck with that.

Thanks Nemo, and thanks for your input comments on other mods! I'm coming off a hiatus and reading through hundreds of mods comments to see what needs tweaked!

Highlander fixes the bug, allowing this mod's config to work as intended.

Without the fix, only REACTION_FINALMOD is relevant (it will be used in every case, regardless of dashing); the other, dash-specific setting is completely ignored by the game.

With the fix, you can set them to different values and they'll work as expected.

@nemo, does that mean we don't need this mod if we use highlander? Or highlander just fixes the bug, and then allows this to work correctly?

If anyone's looking to use this mod, or do the .ini tweak themselves, be aware:

The "dashing" mechanic straight up DOESN'T WORK in vanilla. The game will use the regular reaction penalty (REACTION_FINALMOD) regardless of blue or yellow moving. It's only relevant if you set them to different values, though.

Community Highlander fixes this.
