yes

Thanks for pointing the way. I assume that I just comment out the +OfficerSoldierClasses = AbiziOfficer line, right?

The relevant lines are in XComGame.ini config file:
[WOTC_DSL_Rusty.X2EventListener_StatusOfDSLRusty]
+OfficerSoldierClasses = AbiziOfficer

Mind if I ask how to remove the yellow bar that said 'Officer Class' in squad loadout?

I found it distracting as, while it consider to be officer, it not really officer in term of WotC context. So it kinda like over emphasize this class as so special while other soldier beneath him/her.

ill give it a shot after i finish or my game corrupts lol: I don't wanna mess anything up - my game has been "stable" so far - thank you so much for responding and the attentiveness

you mean that the class description "Battlefield Tactician" and the text below it doesn't show as in the pictures in the mod page?
That's weird. Try resubbing to the mod, and check if the file XComGame.int has indeed this text...

sorry to bother you w more questions: i am getting a block of nothing when i try and reclass to your officer - they are able to take the role and use the skills but in the description of the class there is nothing but blank space - i could pass a pic along if you need to see it in action.

The answer to that can probably be found in the localization of Rusty's Detailed Soldier List mod, as that is the thing adding that sign in the first place.

quick question: for a personal throughput i like to think of this role as a "Squad Leader" within the Squad Management mod setup.

Is there a way i can change the name from "Officer" to "Fireteam Leader" - I love the idea of reserving a spot for them and wanna elaborate on it more maybe in my private runs

@mynameactually - there's no harm in using both, the abilities are new internally. But yes, it WILL probably be a bit weird!

I'm guessing I probably shouldn't use this with your other officer mod. lol

k, np, if it doesnt happens for u on reloaded tactical save, then i still have a modconflict even with only basic stuff loaded,
thx for the class

well, in my previous campaign I had this animation glitch out on some soldiers, in my current campaign this glitch still didn't happen to me, so if I can't replicate this issue, then I can't possibly solve it, especially when this perk is not even mine, I just use the same perk from Iridar's mod. So there's really very little I can do about it.

the glitch happens on any! reloaded tactictal save(wonder why not with denmother), i tried it several time with different missions with true primary and only cosmetic and basic mod like highlander, still happens, the reason i do it so often cause im looking for a conflict which let this glitch happens anytime with denmother(even on new tactical map without reloading) or ur mod or grapple like abilities(from enemies)

I never saw the reposition doing damage thing, but I'll try to replicate.
As for the grappling gun glitching out, yes, I know, but I don't think I can do anything about it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't...

TRUE Primary secondaries can be used as a full replacement to non-true version.
It should still work with stuff that expects to see non-true version.

maybe cause of the pistol and primary secondary(pistol in primary slot cause awkawrd behaviour like no stab(instead it uses slash)) with knife skills, im currently trying to switch to true primary, just need to find the conflicts with my current modlist

and when u use an officer and (re)load a tactical save, it either crashes or load, but then t-pose on grapple skills(officer, not denmother)

when deployed together with denmother or another officer(for test)on a mission, denmothers (and the second officer) reposition skill does 1 damage.

@lordabizi Like I said. It is only a minor issue. Nice to know. Thanks for the information.

This is general (True) Primary Secondaries jankiness, that I can't do anything about.

@lordabizi This is minor but when choosing to display a soldier as this class in the character pool the weapon is not visible.

@lordabilzi that is "Once an engagement has started...."

@lordabizi I find their command ability to be the perfect answer to many sticky situations. Once and engagement has started I often centralize this class so that many soldiers are able to be given a command. Command is a fabulous ability, perfect for this proficiency class.

Yes, I agree, I also use this class to scout mainly, but usually it comes down to some big and scary engagement where they need to do something more useful then holo, and then throwing a flashbang, especially with Sting Grenades is very helpful. So that's my rationale for hybrid holo/grenade build. And I usually try to force-feed the last enemy kill to the officer if possible.

@lordabizi I always do my best to help those that create the mods we all enjoy. My most recent play is also on Commander. A lot depends on style of play. Mine takes advantage of stealth. Scout/sniper is a big feature in most missions. I have watched videos of other players that play in ways that do not focus on stealth as much but that are just as effective. Snipers/marksman advance very quickly in my games. I really like the Proficiency Classes which make up the vast majority of classes I use. I also use Grimy's Anarchist class. The grenades do less damage but there are more of them. I find removing cover is more important than the damage done by grenades.

Hmm.. yes EXP might be a problem. Right now I'm playing on Commander so EXP is not an issue, but in my next game in Legend I'll see how slow it is. If I'll feel it's too slow I might make the kill assist stat lower (so they'll get more exp with less kills)....

although looking at the stats from my own game, they typically get an average of a kill per per mission, which is surprisingly high.

Anyway, thanks for all the feedback! I really appreciate it.

@lordabizi Completely agree on rapid targeting.

@lordabizi I am preparing for the final mission and still did not make maximum rank with this class which is partly my fault because I really spread out experience among soldiers. A large force pool is very durable against losses. My key focus in this class is skills that do not break stealth since, especially in the early game, a key focus is recon. One of my best soldiers in this class has been on twelve missions and has only two kills.

Thank you for the reply! My go to build is:
Rapid Targeting, Full Kit, Bomb Belts, Vital Point Targeting, whatever in Major rank (depends on what squad I run with this officer), and Sting Grenades.
I might adjust this slightly based on what the xcom row has, or what the squad is.

Unfortunately it does seem like Rapid Targeting is too valuable to pass on...

@lordabizi I have not ranked one all the way up yet.

@lordabizi A more precise answer. Rapid Targeting, Field Medic, (Later Electronic Surveillance if still dealing with the Chosen Assassin), Revive, Anti-Venom. Basic function: Scout/Medic

@lordabizi I mostly use the same builds on most classes. I use the skills that do not break concealment the most since this class performs recon. I always take the perk that gives the medkits more charges since medic actions do not break concealment. Once the squad is larger I take a reaper on very dangerous missions since the Proficiency Class Reapers easily can go into and out of concealment. The rapid holo action is also very good. I can tag two enemies since I take that action.

yeah, that's great! That's exactly how I play it myself!
Can you comment on which specs you use? I know I mostly use almost the same build on all of mine (hyrbrid holo/grenade spec), but it's interesting to see what others can come up with.

@lordabizi Here is how I am using this class. I increase squad size by one with Robojumper's mod and use a mod that allows me to create squads. Each squad has one battlefield technician. This class is very fun to play. Soldiers in this class do not tend to get many kills but often help other soldiers get them. Their ability to support combat can not be underestimated. I have had several battles that could have turned out very differently without the support of this class.

wow, thank you, I'm very happy to hear you find it useful!

@lordabizl It is easy to underestimate just how useful this class is. Thanks for creating it.

That's very cool :) Yeah, in my game I also barely use the pistol, I only use it on the last enemy of the map to get some kill exp if possible. Glad to hear you're enjoying this!

Thanks for the update and making a fix/change for the med kit bug. I just love the base mechanic of appointing a move to anther soldier. I ended up merging this class as a base, along with K's officer class. End result is a true field general support class. He hardly uses his own weapon, his attack move is basically surveying the battlefield and using another solder as his attack move.

While this is true, on the other hand I don't want even more people to mistakenly bug shiremct for things that are unrelated to his mods :}

Wow this completely flew under my radar! This looks cool, I feel like it should have the name "proficiency" Somewhere in the title so people realize its associated with proficiency classes

Thank you Deadput, hope they shall serve you well :)
And yes, if it can be done it can be great, since then one will have two options: only get the new perks with your perk pack, or get the full LW2 experience with Favid's mod.

Awesome to see your class released! I hope to give it a spin sometime, I might go to the perk-pack and remove the ability altering stuff if it's easy enough to do so in a day, to make the perk pack more appealing.

Thanks! Looking forward to hear how terribly they will die! :)

Well done! Can't wait to drop one into my campaign.

Congrats on release!

Thank you~~

Congratulations. Awesome work

Congratulations

Terror from the deep when?... 🤣
