How would someone find the class names for these classes, so that you can use them to add an item to them?

Asking so I can allow them to equip the Kinetic Smite Module mod

it is ok to ignore that warning

Im using the Community Highlander and installed plugin stated in the description and unsubscribed to Tons of Utility Items. Instead I use "[WOTC] More Base Utility Slots" as suggested from Superseded Mods

In the Alternative Mod Launcher (AML), obviously it says that I had missing dependencies which is expected. Question is, is it okay to run it?

unable to use spark specific tools like the ordinance launcher on the sparks from this mod but spark classes from other mods work

Awesome thanks man! Great mod btw

ya go ahead, some perks are reworked from the LW2 perks anyways

Hey can I use some of these perks for a spark mod I am making?

@seanthepain
With the Community Highlander (use this since it has bugfixes and is needed for a lot of mods), you can just use -bg-'s plugin mod rather than TOUI. Ignore AML saying it is missing dependencies, it will work fine.

is tons of utility items absolutely needed? I was having issues with that mod in particular

How would I go about giving these sparks AWC abilities? I have bAllowAWCAbilities=1 set but nothing appears in the 3rd row of abilities.

anything that integrates the new promotion screens mod should use the workaround, even if you don't enable that particular mod manually.

I can’t get the sparks promoted. It takes me back to the soldier list like others said. I’m using the highlander and I don’t have new promotion screens because it’s with RPGO. I’m using your spark mods and armor mod and these mods
- Expanded repair bay
- Spark Arsenal
- PGO Bridge - Spark Arsenal
- Useful Autopsies: Advent MEC

To anyone not able to get the New Promotion Screen mod to work, first go here:
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=729610025
Its the SPARK Custom Class Support mod that is causing the problem.
Go into the comments and follow these instructions, they worked for me at least:

-Downloaded Gus's fix (the one posted on Oct 30th 2018)
this one https://www.dropbox.com/s/ewdruaznut921rm/SPARKCustomClassSupport.zip?dl=0

-Am using the Alternative Mod Launcher. Opened up this mod's folder through it, and clicked+dragged the extracted files from Gus's download and replaced all.

-Re-loaded my file (saved it at the glitchy Choose Class issue) and hit Promotion, took me to the Choose Class screen and I could choose a class!

And a day later the fix I mentioned below is no longer working. Curse these fickle ones and zeroes. It might only work for the very first Spark you develop. Now that I have a second Spark, I get kicked back to the Armory list screen when scrolling over to it while in the Soldier Abilities menu

/shrug

For those of you using the New Promotion Screen mod (https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1124609091) , you can make it work without any ini edits.

When moving to promote your Spark into one of the eight LW Classes, it won't work when you hit Promote Soldier in the Armory. However, it will work if you select another soldier, select Soldier Abilities, then use the arrows at the bottom (or Shift/Tab) to scroll over to the Spark. You'll get a small menu to pick whichever of the eight classes you want (or the basic Spark Class from SLG).

Hope this helps

still not working for me, but i noticed that the plugin for use instead of ToUI dosent seem to have been touched for a while. could it be an issue? i've wiped my modlist enough times to tell that it does this on its own, but i've never used the ToUI version. can anyone having issues with it confirm if they are using the highlander version, otherwise i'll have no idea why it still dosent work XD

Is there a way to give them ability points per lvl?

LW Mec armors shows up fine in the Proving grounds though.

Having same issue when built or using the start with spark mod, it will come as a basic spark with no skills and prompt a promotion. However it just goes back to the soldier list and will not let me choose a class. I am using the RPG overhaul and the Metal over Flesh mods. As well as Flamethrowers for Sparks. Not sure if there's a conflict.

The new promotion screen mod above is not compatible with this one, just tested after some troubles myself. It also doesn't seem like the author is actively maintaining that one anymore, so just disable/unsub that one.

The spark class says Choose Spark, and yes, custom class support is on for sparks :(.

did you have the custom class support installed? Does the spark class says "choose spark"?

hey -bg-, having same issue; when i try to promote, it goes straight to the armory/soldier screens. Have you had success with deleting the ModOptions, as in the guide you linked?

Hey -bg- , I came back to Wotc after a long hiatus. So glad to see you and your mods are still around

you probably cleared the config (or have a folder structure that overrides all changes) that list the sparks here as elligible spark class for the other mod

@-bg-

I can not make the MOD work. I built my first SPARK and it always goes wrong when I try to enter the promotion screen. I also can not put him on a mission. Basically an unusable drive, the most I can interact with it is change appearance. Any idea what might be making him get into that kind of BUG?

Can't get it to work either.

Did all the steps like said, runned the game once and when I tried to load a save it was showing all the mods missing, closed, relaunched, reloaded the same save and this time all the mods were considered activated and no file missing, but still, when I've built a new Spark and tried to promote it, the only class appearing was the default class. Weirdest thing is that the classes appear in character creation, but not in game when I have to select a class for a spark.

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=625230005 do the same steps except you want to use the war of the chosen folder in your documents

Emm.. Could you be a bit more clear? I mean, sorry if I sound dumb but, how do I do all this? Clearing the config and deleting which local files? Never had to do it before so I don't know.

that looks like a config loading problem, clear your config and unsub this mod -> delete the local files -> resub the mod

Don't seems to work for me. When I come for promoting a freshly made Spark, the only class choice appearing is the basic normal spark, nothing else. I was using other Spark classes mods before and they were appearing on the class choice screen, but no sign of those from this mod. So I tried to remove all the other classes mods for Sparks, but still nothing.

@Franimus
Great thanks.. Finally it works again. :)

@OverEnglishMan @MuddyBonkers I had the same problem, and gus' fix posted in the other mod worked for me. There is also a WOTC version of that mod that yet another person uploaded that allegedly works as well.

@Muddy & Skar
Ah, I was worried it was just me - here's hoping we get our fabbo SPARKs back soon!
Also inferno cannon ftw

posted the same in SPARK Custom Class Support. I am sure -gb- knows about it and already going to fix it :-) . had to start a new campign, no sparks were usable. as soon as it fixed I am on...

Currently not working for me. When I go to promote my SPARK into any of the custom classes, I get a UI-less armory screen that just sits there forever. Occassionally I can still get into the escape menu, sometimes my SPARK shows up visually. No menu's. I tried to see if it was a mod conflict, but had no success.

Bummed me out a bit becqause I'm loving the expansion, and mec classes are one of my favorite modifications to xcom2.

I can send you files or screenies if you need them for bugfixing? Figuring I'm using too many mods for that to be much help, but I figured I'd offer. Really want my mec classes.

@-bg- Is this mod compatible with A Better Barracks?

overdrive is a normal spark squaddie perk, these mechs have different squaddie perks

Seems to replace Overdrive?

Thanks for the response. I'll try chrcking other mods.

cannot reproduce, LW mecs are repaired normally on my side, you might have some other mods that modifies how soldiers heal work and it affected this mod as a side effect as it might have expected only normal SPARKs can use the spark healing project, but the SPARK custom class supports changed that.

When I assign a Spark to Engineering for repair, if it is a LW Mec class,
it doesn't repair completely, even when I get the motice tyhat the repairs
are complete. If it is the Spark class, it does repair completely.

@-bg- The Community Highlander just updated FYI

i use world war l, and this mod makes the lost zombies invisible, i have rly no clue why this even happens, i dont think u do anything with zombies at all or !?

@-bg- Thanks for the reply. Love this mod

The grenade part should work together, spark launchers have the same setup but they won't count as grenades, and I will release a community highlander plugin to make this work with community highlander's item slot features.

@-bg- I have some questions. 1) Does the grenade glitch mean we need the perk from metal over flesh in order to use them or do they not work together. 2) Are the steps to working the SPARK launcher the same as in vanilla. 3) Does this conflict with RPG overhaul and the Community Highlander? and 4) Community Highlander is reportedly making a "more utility slots" function. Does that mean we could use that instead of "Tons of Utility items" cause that reportedly doesn't work with RPG.

@Derejin. What other spark mods do you use? None of the ones I tried seem to be compatible with this mod, including ammo pocket, GTS perks, and one that should allow the use of ability points.

you have way too many mods for me to pinpoint it, especially you have a lot of mods that modifies equip behaviour, I wouldn't be surprised if someone coded it badly and hardcoded classes for heavy weapons. You need to keep disable half the mod and find out which mod when enabled cause the behaviour, then see if you can config it to accept other class or tell the author to support multiple spark classes.
