@RustyDios Hey, the pause effect of Omega Berserker proc inconsistently: in a mission i had the Omega Berserker + 4 mutons (after killing 20 enemies) and the last pod was a Berserker Queen + 5 mutons. The Omega didnt pause the timer (on F1 said it would), so i frost it and kill. Then the pod with Queen activated and the timer paused (even when i stasis her). Maybe a conflict with the both effects on 2 units?

ah allright, and i meant both, thx for the detailed answer, now i got it :D

Or do you mean .. can this mod disable the Chosen pausing the timer? In which case, no. That is not an easy thing to stop, it is hardcoded into the Chosen reveal sequence

Yes I got that. The console command works on the timer. It does not care for the how or why the timer was paused, it will just resume or pause it.

So.. a Chosen enters battle and pauses the timer, you use the console command to resume the timer .... the Chosen is still on the field and will just pause the timer again on its turn .... ...

i meant disable the pause for chosen, thought i wrote it

They should. But if you are fighting a Chosen it will pause the timer on its next turn anyway, so would be pointless.

do the consolecommands work for chosen aswell(Resume), if not, is there a way to remove the timestop in an ini?

this mod is amazing, not sure how i haven't seen it sooner

Thats exactly how it works.

Sorry about that. I'll look into seeing if I can make the trigger/conditions ignore stasis .. I'm making no promises on that though!

Just to clarify the chain of events so I can test it myself .... timer active with '5' turns... ruler appears... timer pauses with '5' turns ... ruler gets put in stasis... timer active with '5' turns ... player turn ends... alien turn ruler is still in stasis, timer is active ... alien turn ends ....
.... player turn begins... timer decreases to '4' ... ruler comes out of stasis ... timer pauses on '4' turns ?!

Does sound like how it played out

it did restart but it gave me one less turn to get to the hack. (had no tech specalist so no gremlin)

Hmm, the timer should stop again though once they are out of stasis ... it should pause anytime an active ruler can target an XCOM member through LoS

Thought that was the case but wanted to let you know just in case. I only noticed when i failed the mission. lol

No that is not intended but I can see why it would happen.. the ruler can't 'target' XCOM and therefore pause the timer. I'm afraid that is an odd interaction that I'm going to have let pass though, or the Rulers would be stopping the timers just for existing in the mission.

Nice catch, not much I can do about it. :)

Did you know that if you stasis a ruler the timer starts again. Is that intended

Glad I could help you set it up exactly how you want for your game :)
Have fun :)

That way saves a lot more time and looking so yup I'm sticking with it for now :) Thanks for all the help RustyDios, really appreciate it :)

It shouldn't 'hurt' because if my script can't match/find the enemy template it just won't add the ability... but you won't need the different _Diff_x versions

If you are looking through the ABA files, the best way to search is in the Localization\XcomGame.int file and do a search ( ctrl+f ) for "X2CharacterTemplate" ... this will highlight all the template names, like so:

[_TEMPLATENAME_ X2CharacterTemplate]
strCharacterName="_INGAME_NAME_"

... which should help you find everything you want.

Also remember to save a copy of your edited file, in case this mod gets an update, so you can easily re-install your changes :)

That's great thank you again! Went through all the sub-folders for ABA (Archons -> Vipers) and copied and added any enemy that had the 'M4' (ArchonM4 as an example).

Would you need to add in the one's that include the _Diff_1 (ArchonM4_Diff_1 as an example) also?

My heads telling me yup and that this was a stupid question o.O

So in this mods files config at, you want to add them to the XComRulersPauseTimers.ini
you can this file at;
(drive):\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1975138210

In that file find the section that has;
+RulerTemplate =

and copy/paste/add more lines with the templates of the enemies you want (you can find template names either in the ABA mod, or in the linked guide above ... iirc the ABA Primes are all like SectoidM4 )

Hope that helps :)

@RustyDios Thank you so much that was wrecking my brain as to what or why!!! I can live with it knowing what it's for. I'm the person who doesn' t TAB after every move so having the game tell me whats about to happen (Lost killed....before actually killed o.O) was driving me stray.

If I can ask for more advice please, what lines should I be looking for/add in this mods ini to include the ABA Added primes? The A Babies Advent mod by the same author removes their ruler reaction but I like that feature, I just want time to struggle/fight with the.

@CptnHappyTimePie the log messages in the corner are a remnant of using the X2CommunityHighlander BETA, it helps with ease of access for debugging the features in the BETA to have an on-screen readout of what is being presented to the log :)

These messages are hidden when the X2CHL BETA is moved to the Stable release. Hope that helps you understand what is happening and why :)

Also really glad that it's not a problem with this mod :) :)

Apologies, BETA's are Yellow & CommunityHighlander, not this mod. No offense intended, copy pasta error just

Games fine, no crashes, just started new campaign using this BETA and the Yellow BETA too (loving the pod jobs - Pod Managements!!!) config folder cleaned, using AML and generally hand check each mod (ini stuff only Im no coder).

Only started yesterday and I'm commenting on the mods I've updated since then. Any help would be appreciated please.

That's all I managed to screen grab I'm afraid. Always after ALIEN ACTIVITY and just before My Turn, it's like the games telling me engine or script or something stuff?

Can anyone shed some light on what might be the cause of 'log' type messages appearing in the lower left corner of the screen when in game (only during misions not Avenger or GeoScape)

What would you like to know? I can walk you through setting it up for custom enemies, but I recently updated the default config to work with all base game rulers, the CX HIVE Queen, cloned alien rulers and the corrupt avatar 'ruler'.

this is a great mod!! is there a guide on how to use this mod, im a bit slow on things like this, i don't understand command/code

Should be safe to add mid-campaign... maybe not mid tactical save.. hmm I supose I forgot to note that in the description... fixed :)

I had to cheat with "tatc" once because of a similar reason, so this will definitely come in handy. My only question is can this be added mid-campaign?

Very awesome. Well done

Didn't know I wanted this! Thank you!

Thankyou Iridar :) Couldn't do half the stuff I've done without your help and support on the discord and the wiki :)

Congrats on release!

Thank you, this is amazing! Now the question is whether I should restart my campaign (again) to unset double turn timers...
