@MrCloista this solved the problem, thanks so much!

Ohhh yea no that makes sense. You need to remove the 'unique equipment category' setting for pistol in this mod (xcomgamedata I think) I set that so that Sharpshooter can't have pistol in both secondary and sidearm slots

@MrCloista yeah it doesn't make much sense to me either, I just wiped my configs and tried again to be sure and the problem is still happening. In the Akimbo's loadout pistols are locked with the message "MAX 1 UNKOWN WEAPON CATEGORY PER SOLDIER", stops happening when I disable only this mod.

@Jason strange, this mod does nothing to create lockouts for the weapons themselves so it shouldn't touch other classes at all.

Currently, if I have just this mod + dependencies and Iridar's Akimbo + dependencies, enabling this mod makes the Akimbo unable to equip pistols.

; Possible values for `MinComInt`
; eComInt_Standard,
; eComInt_AboveAverage,
; eComInt_Gifted,
; eComInt_Genius,
; eComInt_Savant,

; You can have more than one line here. The chain will trigger for soldier class that has not met the barracks limit defined in `Limit`
+RescueClasses = (ClassName = "CWCR_Tinkerer", Limit = 2, MinComInt = eComInt_Gifted)
+RescueClasses = (ClassName = "Keeper", Limit = 2, MinComInt = eComInt_Gifted)

What is this option?
Does that makes those classes always PSI capable?

@MrCloista Thank you for the update (and the mod ; this is still my favorite classpack so far)

@Epigamesh - bug fixed thanks for the report.

If you have multiple Reaper overhauls active things are going to be a bit fucked up. Them having Fan Fire at squaddie is possible with how the sidearm deck works for MY Reaper, but it's entirely random. Like I said you can delete configs for anything you don't want, but consider how this is setup to use the Dedicated Pistol Slot in a wholly unique way and you'll understand why I don't recommend mixing it with any other classes I haven't already supported, it's a unique balancing method you'd not get for any other classes.

Okay. The issue is I want to ignore your recommendation to not mix other Prof pack lol. I tried commenting out Proficiency’s classes, disabling them, and stopped after realizing I’d have to drop all the Fearthebunnies MOCX stuff, along with having the Prof classes on missions. Too integrated into my campaign.

And…the biggest reason..,somehow ended up with your Reaper with fan fire as a squaddie perk, Remote start as a first choice. On Gate Crasher. It was four trees of terror for Advent when I finally got to the Promotion screen ( almost every OP perk just in difference places on your tree) but would’ve been too much. I had Prof Reaper, Knoxx Reaper, and Recruitable Reapers active.

Odd, because I did try these last campaign w/o issue so I’m not sure what config I *didn’t do* to result in the above. Bummer man. The Tinkerer, Assault, and Reaper would go well with my setup ( I use a lot of classes).

@jahsinha you'd delete the changes to the vanill classes in the configs, but that would be very unbalanced. And no the smg isn't a core requirement, but is the intended balance.

One more: How do I use only the two new classes?

Is the SMG mod a hard req?

@epigamesh thanks for the continual feedback, please post in your dedicated discussions thread.

And I'm back (again) after having finally begun my new campaign (I'm really apreciating this class pack so far), and found new small bugs :
After having promoted a tikerer and an alchemist, the two soldiers were asking to be bonded, but the bounding command was disabled for the tinkerer (but enabled for the alchemist, so I could bound them anyway). I feel like there could be a missing line bCanHaveBound = true for the tinkerer (and the assault) in the XComClassData file (but haven't tested it properly so far ; and with my pretty extensive modlist, the strangest incompatibilities are not to be excluded).
Also, when receiving a reaper, I remarked he could equip a pistol even though he shouldn't (and I really don't know why).
If I find anything else when playing, do you want me continue to comment here - and kinda spam the comment section (or prefer discussing elsewhere ? Or even not at all, if I'm just being bothering x'D)

Not sure if it is intentional too or if it might cause a future bug, but the end of the random ability deck from templar side arm doesn't end with '//' : (AbilityName="SpareShells", ApplyToWeaponSlot=eInvSlot_Pistol)

Hello,
I might have found a small bug too when playtesting for my future campaign : it seems that the alchemist can always equip a pistol in his pistol slot, even when he shouldn't. I have compared the ini files with the alchemist mod and the line that should remove the initial pistol (-ADD_SLOT=(SOLDIER_CLASS="RustyAlchemist", WEAPON_CAT="pistol", ALLOW_EMPTY=true)) hasn't the same format as the one in the alchemist file (which contains a lot more blank spaces). I remember having read somewhere it could lead to not being taken into account so I tried to copy the exact line in my personnal config tweaks and then it worked as intended (no problems for me anymore, but I figured you might want to know about it)

@laserbelly it's designed as an alternative, and the faction classes would have compatibility issues, so it's best not to. @Epigamesh hanks i'll check that out.

Hello,
I might have found a typo in the XComClassData, in the RangerSidearm deck : the line "(AbilityName="LightningHands", ApplyToWeaponSlot=eInvSlot_Pistol)" doesn't end with ", //".

Does this mod play well Proficiency Class ? Or is it best not to.

Huh thought I'd fixed that, good spot thanks

There are missing parenthesis in the ability to slot reassigment ini
+WeaponCategorySets=(WeaponCategorySetName=NewMelee, WeaponCategories=(wristblade, shield, sword, combatknife)
+WeaponCategorySets=(WeaponCategorySetName=sawedoff, WeaponCategories=(sawedoffshotgun)
+WeaponCategorySets=(WeaponCategorySetName=knife, WeaponCategories=(combatknife, sword)
+WeaponCategorySets=(WeaponCategorySetName=Holotargeter, WeaponCategories=(holotargeter)
+WeaponCategorySets=(WeaponCategorySetName=Arcthrower, WeaponCategories=(arcthrower)

A class pack in and of itself can't cause crashes (cos classes are just config edits), it'll be one of the required mods you are having the issues with.

I've been having a lot of issues with the game crashing. But only when using this mod pack, using other mods didn't cause it. Has this been a consistent issue for other players?

This will override that mod, honestly it is also better balanced.

How does this interact with your other mod: Empowered Templar?

Considering testing for CI was what got me started modding in the first place, Yes, Yes it is.

Btw, based on the name and one of the companion mods listed, was this mod made with Covert Infiltration in mind?

Praise the PEXM/MEME team for another banger mod! Looking forward to using them in action, not entirely a vanilla + class collection but one of the closest I've seen that's of great quality.

Yea it is, missed it off the list good spot.

Wait, if the Tinkerer uses a LW2 Gauntlet, shouldn't the LW2 Secondaries mod be a requirement?

Yeah it'd be compatible, but it's definitely not the intended balance, let me know how it works out.

I have one question. I have the Almalgamation Set of Perks currently running, is this pack compatible with those as my Jane Kelly is stil the original Ranger and no changes to the Faction Heroes have been done.
