You can add me on Steam, or on Discord as just "XpanD". Discord may be easier.

Thank you for the quick response! I did try rebooting my PC but same issue occurred. What's the best way for me to send you my log file & settings? I don't seem to be able to put attachments here

Just downloaded it to check, and my game seems to open okay with both mods active.

I'd be kind of curious to see the log output here, but I don't think this CAN be an incompatibility; both mods are fully self-contained and don't do anything that could be incompatible with any other mods, other than maybe overlapping a command or two.

I feel like the "mod stays active despite being unticked" thing is important, here; it sounds like something in your setup is keeping files stuck in inconsistent states. Unticking should always work; this removes the mod from the engine config (XComModOptions.ini) the game uses to decide what to load.

If you haven't yet, try rebooting your PC. That might clear out ghosts in the system like this.

I also posted this to the other person's mod page too if you wanted to see about reaching out to ∑3245 directly

I think I may have found your first incompatibility?

I’ve used the mod “[WotC] UC - Character Pool Restoration” by ∑3245 (link below) for years with no issues, until after I downloaded your mod. After starting the game via AML, I get a "appDebugMessagef" notification with the message: "Error detected attempting load of package: WotC_Misc_CharPoolToJSONUtil", which is something from ∑3245’s mod. After that, the game gets stuck and won't start unless I uncheck ∑3245’s mod.

When I do uncheck ∑3245’s mod, the game runs like normal, except their console commands don't work. However, your mod’s console commands are now always available in my game whether I have your mod checked or not.

Do you know of a solution to this or what may be causing this?

Have you seen this?

This is an incredibly narrow request, but would it be possible to implement a force return to Avenger command, or do you know any way of doing this? I have an ironman save at the final mission that I want to go back to the Avenger screen from in order to get a screenshot of the soldier list in the barracks. I can't find any way of doing this. Some talented mod author is maybe my only hope!

What he said.

Console is enabled with the "-allowconsole" launch argument outside of the game itself, ironman won't affect it. Assuming you're using the Alternative Mod Launcher (which you probably want to be), just go to Options > Settings and add it at the end of the "Active arguments" box. (with a space between it and the previous entry)

Once this is done, hit ` or ~ to open the big console. May be different depending on keyboard layout, just try a few keys. Make sure you use the big console, not the small single-line one at the bottom of the screen.

@Dragon32
Do you know of a way to enable the console in Ironman? I am hounding for it

@SlowPokeDerp
Yes, add the mod and enable the console in launch options

Is there a way to use this during an Ironman playthrough?

Got that on the list along with a few other similar testing commands, no ETA on it yet though.

can you add knock out unit?

Aaaand another big update. (for FindX fans anyways, though ToggleFreeView got upgraded a bit too)

You're welcome! I do want to add a few commands like that eventually, especially now that I've gotten some practice in with Quantum Supremacy. Not sure what that'll look like (or when it'll be) yet, though.

@XpanD
Thank you for this wonderful mod.
Is there a chance that you could add the "GiveSoldierAWCAbility" command (as from Grimy's Console Commands) and also create/include a new one to be able to delete a soldier ability?

Huge update today! Check the Change Notes page for all the goods.

(@General Anakin Skywalker: this also has the captured soldiers fix in ListSoldiers)

Yeah, no crates but mission success still so that's good enough for me. Thanks for the mod!

Nope, WOTC only, sorry. It's unfortunately not feasible to keep up two separate builds for two (very) different versions of the game.

(also, worth noting -- confusingly enough, ForceCompleteObjective is only for strategy objectives and does nothing in tactical, despite what some sites say)

Can I get this mod to work wth xcom2/LW2? Stuck on alien activity beginning of AvengerDefense and the vanilla ForceCompleteObjective doesnt work. I can force end mission but lose ... Ironman of course. Restart Level etc. nothing works, last straw here ...

I'll keep an eye out for an update, then! No rush, it's not a big deal. Seems like once a bond lv1 is formed they get raised to 7.5 minimum anyways, which is pretty much good enough as far as I'm concerned

I'm not sure how many crates it'll count, but it should count the mission as a success at least. Let me know!

Does EndBattleForceWin also complete optional objectives like getting those supply crates in those supply raid missions? Had a mission where the map broke, so I'm wondering if it'll give me those.

Not currently, but it's on the list of things to look at. Would be nice with all the new bond overhaul mods on the Workshop.

Is there a command that can increase Compatibility between soldiers (not bond level)?

Hmm. Thanks, Rusty. I'll have to check this out if I run into this again.

CI already has it's own command for that, on the Geoscape with the mission open (ready to launch) use "ForceAbortSelectedInfil" and it should auto-complete the mission for you.

endinfiltrationforcewin. is this a possible command you can build? Endbattleforcewin has been a life saver in bugged tactical missions and lets me go one with my life w/o cheating - I won but due to some endless spawn or some other nonsense, I can't progress. Recent bug is is trying to launch a CI infiltration after 250% and the map won't load - ctd in the opening cinematic. yes, I can binary search and all that but I'd rather cancel the infil or win it and move on. Possible?

Yeah no problem !
I'll try to find another way to see the state of my captured soldiers, to see if they died or not

Huh, that's definitely not intended. Taking a break for a bit, but I'll see if I can reproduce that whenever I start a new playthrough. Thanks for letting me know.

Only the soldiers we have in our ship.
And if we add "true", we see scientist and all the others stuff but not them

I don't fully remember how I set that up, but what does ListSoldiers show?

Can we see our soldier captured?

"SetSelectedSoldiersStat eStat_Hacking VALUEHERE" should work there, it's part of the Additional Soldier Console Commands mod. (might be eStat_Hack instead)

Is there a command I can use to increase a soldier Hack Status ? I am trying Vipers Hacker class, but hes Hacking skill is to low for my taste. LWOTC + TedJam .Thank you

You'll need the console enabled to use any commands, vanilla or modded. Not sure if there's a way of doing the launch argument thing with the vanilla launcher (or maybe through Steam?), but AML is nice enough to have that I'd recommend just using that for everything anyways.

I see, do I need the AML to use normal commands as well? its kinda nutty they kinda not let you use it

Copy/paste of an earlier post of mine for enabling the console:

- in AML, go to Options > Settings
- click into the Active Arguments box (not Quick Toggle Arguments!)
- add -allowConsole at the end (with a space between it and the other arguments)
- click OK
- restart game if it was open
- hit ` or ~ (or sometimes @, ' or AltGr + ö) to open the big console, \ or | to open the compact one

That should get the console up and running. Note that you'll want to be running the Alternative Mod Launcher for this, though that's generally recommended anyways. (as vanilla has some serious issues)

Hey question, I am looking to use this mod, but having issues getting the command menu up anyway? any way to fix that before I use the mod?

your a bloody legend mate worked perfectly,

Do you still have the "-allowConsole" launch argument enabled? Good first thing to check.

If that doesn't work... Copy-paste from a guide I wrote a while back: "hit ` or ~ (or sometimes @, ' or AltGr + ö) to open the big console, \ or | to open the compact one"

Not aware of any mods force-disabling the console or doing anything else to it, but you may be on a different keyboard layout? Worth trying those other keys.

any idea why console commands might be disabled entirely like do any other mods override use of tilde key or anything? it worked fine and then halfway through campaign stopped activating.

XpanD : Thank you very much

GiveRandomRookies can technically do that, but it's just a wrapper over the MEME Give Soldier Command mod. I'd recommend grabbing that mod for this purpose.

Is there a console command to create new recruits or new soldiers ?

Nice, thanks for confirming.

EndBattleForceWin works on a Chosen Stronghold Assault if you have completed the first rooms and are in the main chamber.

FYI, the EndBattleForceWin will complete a Hostile VIP mission (capture them without killing them) successfully.

Thank you xpand!!!!! :D
