You did the full collection? Im going to be updating that when I get done with a few more mods! It'll be epic trust me bro!

Viper I am looking forward to your class pack I'll need it because I went to your collections and downloaded every single enemy mod and difficulty mod /= I'm about to suffer to so hard /=

Sad about the no plans for playable aliens but thanks anyway, I knew it was a bit of a big ask since I suppose there's a reason you don't see many attempts at it.

Allies Unknown though, that's an interesting thought, always did think it was a bit of a shame that the Sangheili were the only species to get a unique class they can get so if you ever did do something in that regard, that'd be super neat.

Looking forward to the new class pack.

You liked this one? It was made at the request of a friend, I personally don't like it haha.

Sadly, no plans for playable aliens. I'm not familiar enough with them to even begin doing that O_O

I will, however, be releasing a massive class pack with the updated and fixed up classes, as well as a few new ones! That should give you plenty of options to customize your soldiers! Will take a look at Allies unknown though...

Do you think you might have plans in the future for playable Alien classes? I know there's Allies Unknown and the Playable Aliens mod by Reality Machina but that one is showing it's age and honestly, it kind of feels like the Aliens don't really have much going for them, barring the Viper since she has the Viper Redux.

It also doesn't help that half of the abilities for them don't work, perhaps because of a mod conflict on my end but stuff like Rupture and Killzone for the Andromedon and Muton just don't show up for them in-mission.

If not, that's fine but I just wanted to ask and either way, I'm looking forward to whatever you come up with. This class in particular was fun to play around with.

I.. I dont think there are enough perks to do that to be honest. Working on some new stuff though I think everyone will enjoy! A new engineer class that can summon 2 different kind of drones and an upgradeable turret, a bruiser with strong close range capabilities, and a combat medic that "aggressively" heals team mates! Plus new templar classes and a complete overhaul on the SPARKs

Will there be a fire class?

Yes. I will update it when I have time. New computer so i gotta figure out how to access and update these

@death viper-I pulled up your other files (Psi-Priest, Hacker, Med Snip) and the config file doesn't look like Storm/Geo classes, and I could not find the file that looked like the mage classes. Haven't look into the blood classes yet, but do any these need the assist kill scripts need to be added to those as well?

Ah, i see. It just increases the odds that a rookie will promote into said class? If I'm getting that right, that's good to know.

@Vorpal Spoon - Oh, sorry about that. I forgot the original value of +NumInDeck=1. It is the frequency of when rookie will be promoted into that particular class compare to the rest of the classes.

For example, if you only have vanilla base class, Ranger/Grenadier/Specialist/Sharpshooter all have +NumInDeck=4. So, when rookie got promoted, they will have equal chance to promoted into one of the four classes. However, if you set, say, Ranger to 2 that mean Ranger will be about 50% less to be promoted into and the inverse is true as well.

Modder just set this value for how rare they want the class to be. I forgot that the original value, so, I just pick the value that I vaguely recalled lol. I set all my class to +NumInDeck=4 as I don't like to play favorite but you can change to whatever value you want.

NumInDeck is how many "cards" of that class are in the "deck" for you to pull from when you upgrade your soldiers from rookies.

@Lanford-So when I located the mentioned files, both have the script "+NumInDeck=1", not "2".
I did as advised, but is there a reason for the value being a difference of 1?

Freakin hilarious

@Viper-It's showing you're online; you could chime in at any time...

@Lanford-Thanks man!

@Vorpal Spoon - Just copy and paste +KillAssistsPerKill=4 into XComClassData.ini below +NumInDeck line. So that it should look like this

+NumInDeck=2
+KillAssistsPerKill=4
+bCanHaveBonds=true

If you use his other classes, you have to put +KillAssistsPerKill=4 line in as well. Don't worry if you already use the class as kill assist is retroactive.

@Lanford-I have this installed. Should I included this in the data file? I have one in my team roster but had yet to use her. I also have Viper's Geomancer, would that require +Kill AssistPerKill+4 script, and where would it be place in he class data ini. file?

I found the issue why the class seems to not level up. You forgot to put +KillAssistsPerKill=4 in your class data ini. So, the class only got XP only on their kill and not from all other sources. So the class level extremely slow as they need to score kill by themselves.

This also not affects only this class but all of your proficiency classes. Maybe not the one that is redux version as the +KillAssistsPerKill=X should still exist on the base class ini.

Could you please provide a breakdown similar to your Geomancer?

Im going to be updating the weapon's cache mod to include a unique weapon for them that inflicts hyporthermia! Should be fun!

Not sure where that issue would come in. This mod doesnt handle any promotion besides the actual ability tree. Do you have mods that affect soldier XP?

Any update on the level up issue?

My characters using this class will not level up from squaddie no matter how many kills.

Sounds like a conflict with another mod sadly.

Just a thing,the class running animation is still the gun instead of the the templar type run,look weird since its a gauntlet primary based,and yeah I have the animation patch,only happen with this class tho,others gauntlet based like Templar Knight work fine.
Also since they don't have momentum,a range weapon like a pistol would be cool to have at least for the pistol slot if you don't have the Cache mod,perso I added it since,yeah,it make it better/versatile.
Beside that,pretty unique and cool

I added this, geomancer and blood clases and it disabled other classes, i cant find the config line to enable them, where i can find it ?

I should note he has only been wounded once, and has never gotten the shaken status.

Somehow I have a character with this class that has slowly but surely lost all Will. They started at 60 and are now at -7. Only that character has had that happen to them from what I have seen.

This is mostly just a heads up of a potential bug, I do not expect that it can be fixed on the current run.

I saw that you are going to make a bow class, Iridar's Perk Pack has some animation for the templar class called IRI_TM_SoulShot

Hope it helps.

what difficulty mods do you recommend to be played with these classes? Because of how strong all of them are you probably need Reshi's Ethereal Restoration or his Reqiuem mod to be a challenge...

no at least not by Viper

Will this class eventually be made into an rpgo specialization?

@Taco Fixed.

Something appears to be broken with their Proficiency class perk. It isn't showing up and notes an ability on their sheet currently called "Missing 'LocFriendlyName' for 'None'" and shows a blank icon.

All required items are installed.

Ill try to release it in the next few days. Been pretty busy looking for work lately. Lost my job and I need something asap haha. If anyone knows any work from home jobs, definitely hit me up. I could work on these mods in peace knowing I have a steady income :D

But to bluntly answer your question, as soon as possible. There might be 2 / 3 classes left plus the templars

I have a question I wonder if you could answer.

I'm very interested in the classes your doing but I'm holding off to see when you did all the classes you wanted with your mod so I can try them all in one playtrough ( at least try as there is A LOT ) .

So I guess my question is is there many more coming before I can try them ?

Also a follow-up question if its still a ways off which classes would you recommend the most to try then ?

Please note that tough I think I'm not doing to badly english is not my 1st language so I re-wrote this a few times to clean it up as best I can so if something is not clear on my end sorry in advance.

Nice to have you back!

good to see you back man

good to see you back was worried for a minute there

Oh cool, all your stuff had disappeared

Nevermind about the weapons, I see it's the Templar Gauntlets and the Psi Amp. All good. :)

Class name is incorrect in the description.

Otherwise, this sounds promising. What sort of psionic weapons are talking about here? Asking that, since I am not sure this will work with Covert Infiltration.

You're back!
