I made some my version of Player only death door
Use it if you want

It just use all +ExcludedUnits = in https://pastebin.com/zmsvDXiB (enemy only)

How would this play with alternate bleedout mechanics?

Hi there! Death's Door from DD is one of my favourite aspects of it so I'm glad to see it imported to one of my other favourite games. Wanted to ask if installing it in the middle of a playthrough would at all corrupt my run? Apologies if it's an obvious question, I'm wary of how much XCOM 2 likes to break over nothing.

if im using MOCX initiative mods, does the whitelisted, e.g soldier also apply to them?

White list for excom doesnt work properly.

[DeathsDoorWOTC.X2DownloadableContentInfo_DeathsDoorWOTC]
DLCIdentifier="DeathsDoorWOTC"

; Here you can change the list to be a whitelist instead of the default blacklist
ConvertToWhitelist = true
+ExcludedUnits = "Soldier"
+ExcludedUnits = "ReaperSoldier"
+ExcludedUnits = "SkirmisherSoldier"
+ExcludedUnits = "TemplarSoldier"
+ExcludedUnits = "SparkSoldier"
+ExcludedUnits = "AdvPsiWitchM2"

i toss grenade on enemy in first mission and instead of dying "death's door" appears above his head and he stays alive with 1hp

DD2 just remade the system for it, it could be a neat bit of inspiration for this mod.

it is an ability like any other

I just had this funny question: Can I use a mod like Advent Research to assign the Death's Door ability randomly to enemies not covered under the blanket rule defined in this mod's XcomGame.ini?

I suppose it is not possible to have a condfig option to allow crits to bypass the effect at this time. Seems like an underrated mod in general.

could you make it so this works only a percentage of the time?

depends how it works under the hood. Can't say I've tested and I would guess it bypasses this as well.

Thanks! And another question: The Fanatic Inquisitors in A Harder War: The Fanatics have an ability to instantly kill dazed soldiers, bypassing Sustain and whatnot. Not much of a stretch to say that such an ability bypasses Death's Door as well?

"The ability will not trigger for units that sustain the killing blow and subsequently they won't gain the associated debuff."

Interactions with Sustain and similar abilities?

Should be somewhere in the game install config directory, unless LWOTC has its own custom resistance dudes

How do I add the ability to Resistance soldiers? (for the retaliation quest, not sure if it is only a LWOTC thing or not)
can't find it in DefaultGameData_CharacterStats.ini
great mod btw, saved me a lot of S/L time lol

see the pinned discussion

The biggest issue is Sectoids and Psi Zombies. A Sectoid once killed also kills the raised Psi Zombie, but with this mod, the Psi Zombie survives when it shouldn't.

Honestly, Psi Zombie run killer tbh tbh

This makes alien rulers an absolute nightmare when combined with Alien Rulers Regen and Cloned Alien Rulers, nothing worse then one of them escaping through a portal thanks to deaths door kicking in.

As for the Lost, with the amount of mods I run they kind of became a joke, for I could usually slaughter them whole sale before they could even get close to anyone, so with deaths door, it makes them a serious threat even with high damage setups.

Changes should work mid playthrough, will not work mid mission

BTW, would I have to start a new playthrough for this to take affect? Because I think part of my problem has been trying to test this on the Reaper-Skirmisher mission.

Thank you for your response and help. So in doing so it now looks like this without the units that were present there before.

; List of units that do not get the ability
+ExcludedUnits = "Soldier"
+ExcludedUnits = "ReaperSoldier"
+ExcludedUnits = "SkirmisherSoldier"
+ExcludedUnits = "TemplarSoldier"
+ExcludedUnits = "SparkSoldier"
+ExcludedUnits = "AdvPsiWitchM2"

you need to add them to the "excluded units" array which become a whitelist with the ConvertToWhitelist = true option like so:
+ExcludedUnits = "Soldier "
+ExcludedUnits = "ReaperSoldier "
...
You then also probably want to take out the existing ones as you don't want to give to ability to those

When trying to enable Death's Door for only soldiers, should it be like this?
ConvertToWhitelist = true

Soldier - regular soldiers
ReaperSoldier - Reapers
SkirmisherSoldier - Skirmishers
TemplarSoldier - Templars
SparkSoldier - Sparks
AdvPsiWitchM2 - Commander's Avatar

Because I've been trying a couple of times and it still hasn't worked. I recently added the extra space, so I'm going to try that out now.

To be honest, this was a bit of a joke mod I made in one night and for whatever reason decided to release publicly. Balancing was not really a concern and it is configurable so you can do whatever you want with it.

Perhaps, but mechanically speaking, it makes the Lost monstrously, disproportionately more dangerous, ESPECIALLY if someone's using one of the mods that replaces Lost with something else like Orks or Flood.

Besides. The operative word there is "were".

The Lost were people too

lol why does this also give lost the ability of death's doors kinda dumb so sadly have to unsub

@[DG] Z Type Knight You are free to make and release those mods, and I do know how darkest Dungeon works. I just felt it would make more sense (inc xcom) for it to be universal but there are directions how to make it only affect xcom side.

Awesome. Two more things we can borrow from Darkest Dungeon:

1. Stress-induced heart attacks (triggers if Will reaches zero, has their HP lowered to 1, or insta-death if already on 1 HP.)

2. Afflictions and virtues (Negative traits already sort of serve as afflictions.)

One more thing: In Darkest Dungeon, only you get the benefit of Death's Door. Your enemies die instantly when their HP hits zero. Can attest as I have played Darkest Dungeon myself.

@h4ilst0rm Sure! I don't want to step on any toes. Just trying to save people's time :p

You can do whatever you want. I still reserve the right to delete any unrelated posts but sharing your ini tweaks can help other people and is most definitely relevant

@h4ilst0rm Sorry, just wanted to understand more how it worked. I'm still tinkering with the mod, very interesting so far! Thank you for it.
I've noticed that by default, the lost also gain Death's Door. I think I got them to be exempt, would you mind if I leave in the discussions the ini params for that?

Interesting mod, makes it more unpredictable.:)

@CaseyAnthony Well the ability is pretty much sustain without the stasis, and both would break if given to Captains or Codices

@Kolonel Kimchi Everything is possible, but I wanted to keep it close to the source material.

@Haite As stated in the description, sustain triggers first. The unit wont get the debuff and as it is left with one health they cant trigger deaths door until healed. Sustain makes the unit untargetable and immune for the remainder of the turn so its stronger as aliens can't just double tap if out of cover

How does it interact with sustain abilities? Does it trigger first, or later, or replace them?

is it possible to add a stun effect on death's door proc? It would prevent the disincentivizing of mutual flanking since you could end up on a trade instead of just a kill.

why did you add an unrelated bug fix that has nothing to do with the mod

As a man who has suffered SEVERAL out of nowhere crit-through-full-cover-from-full-health deaths in the early game where you just aren't given a say. This is a godsend. Thank you.

Amazing work ... Darkest Dungeon took xcom's vipers .... and xcom gets Darkest Dungeons deathblow resists//deaths door .... an amazing exchange ... Slowly, Gently, This Is How A Life Is Taken... And Now The True Test... Hold Fast, Or Expire?

Just remember overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer, commander o7
