@alastrianna yes that would be cool. we had somethign similar in xcom: eu/ew where u needed to complete some task and rewarded with medals which gives u some small boost.

I would hope it works with WOTC, seeing as that's a requirement! :)

I would add the possibility of adding features, for example +1 to Willpower, such a medal can give motivation to act and fight 💖

Confirmed. Works with [WOTC]. Thanks for the mod 💖

Is there a way to visualize more than 10 soldiers who have a specific medal?

In LWOTC some missions allow you to have 12 on the field, and on the medal board you can only see 10 (even though they are correctly awarded to the other two).

i have a couple suggestions: a way to optionally attach powers to a medal, a way to "stack" medals, and a way to make them persist through playthroughs and make them attached to the character pool or smth

Loving this mod, I came here to request the same as Edward; if we can award medals multiple times to the same soldier that would be awesome, to keep track of how many times they achieved them, not just once!

really cool mod, I'm a big fan. I have just two requests:

1. I cannot scroll on the medals board when looking at soldiers. I see the scroll bar, but I can't get it to move. This may be an error on my end though.

2. Can you make it so medals can be awarded to the same solider multiple times, and the mod would track how many they have of each?

Again, awesome mod, thank you for taking the time to create it!

I wish they did affect gameplay and came with buffs or skills attached. With a toggle to make it cosmetic only if the player chooses. But I'm sure that's not a trivial task but maybe in a future update as we love this mod.

No. He specifically said that it was an executive decision.

Was hoping AgRipnus could enable multiple awards.

this would be awesome if had controller support

This is sooooooo good! The only other thing I wish can happen is for this to be inherited in character pool somehow, letting me see what medals my soldiers from past playthrough have earned (also keeping them if they were loaded in my next game :p

No, unfortunately. Hopefully some great modder can make an add-on? :)

Was wondering if you could show multiple awards in a soldier's record?

It would be awesome if the icons were visible in the KIA epitaphs.

Really awesome mod just wish there was a way to award them automatically from what troops do in a mission.

No, unfortunately. But you can repurpose existing ones.

Can you delete a medal ?

+1 to the suggestion by @Daddy Takeda below. That mod might be the silver bullet we need! Thanks for your awesome mods @AgRipnus

To follow up on what I commented earlier and what you replied, you might be interested working with this guy for the event listener and fixing the micromanaging issue : WOTC Nice Mission Debriefing

@呕泥浆
Good, glad you fixed it.

@Dragon32
You were right，after adjusting the file encoding, it's no longer showing squares or garbled text. I really appreciate it!

@呕泥浆
Check the text file encoding. I think it needs to be UTF-16 LE-BOM for both .chn and .cht

I tried creating a .chn file to localize the UI into Chinese, but ended up with only blocks and garbled text.
I'm not sure why this happened—it didn't occur when I personally localized other MODs.
Has the author considered Chinese localization?

"Pack some 64x64 images in a .upk" is a thing done with the modding tools. If you want to give it a shot:

https://www.reddit.com/r/xcom2mods/wiki/index/

Specific to adding images to a .upk:
https://www.reddit.com/r/xcom2mods/wiki/wotc_modding/icons/

It would be possible with an extensive system of event listeners and unit values. Stuff happening in a mission and triggering things in strategy has been suggested before in this and other mods of mine. The reason you don't see it, is because I don't have the knowledge of that aspect of the game to make it yet. I don't think it's hard to learn, but it's not trivial and not something you can pick up while doing other stuff.

@grammarsalad
I agree, I played with this mod a couple of hours and although it is very fun feature, it is a lot of micromanaging, to remember what medals you have and what everyone has done in a mission. It would be nice and a lot more smooth if medals were coded to be given automatically upon meeting the requirement(s).

How do you "Pack some 64x64 images in a .upk"?

Is it possible to make it so that metals can be automatically assigned under certain conditions (e.g. getting 10 kills, or surviving bleed out)?

Me again, sorry. It would be nice that medal icons already used be hidden in the icon's selection box.

Oh, just gonna mention this too, but as someone else mentioned, there's either no way to delete a medal we created ourselves, and that's quite annoying actually, OR we failed to find how to do it. Hope this option come in a future update! :D

Thanks for this, this is very precious! There's a bug though, quite annoying imo, and it's you can't "back" from the page using the right button of your mouse, unlike everywhere else in the game. Don't know if it can or should be fixed, but thought about mentioning it just in case.

I just spent hours trying to go into this mod in order to see if I could tinker to make the medals give soldiers bonuses related to how they got them. Credit to all of you modders out there for getting this stuff made because I have an insane headache now and no progress to speak of. AgRipnus, I am in favor of adding utility/perks attached to these medals. They don't even have to be balanced.

You don't. It's a safety feature to prevent people from accidentally deleting a medal that is owned by a soldier. Medals you don't want can be left blank or can just be repurposed.

Possibly a silly question - how do I delete a medal I unintentionally created?

Ah. Yes I can. I didn't think to look in the commander's quarters, I rarely go there for anything.
Thanks. :>

Can you not just give him the medal in the commander's quarters?

Greetings. After completing an eight-person retaliation mission in LWOTC TedJam, I went to hand out a medal to a soldier who did really well, only to find that this particular soldier was not on the medal list; only the other seven soldiers were present. I suspect this was due to the eighth soldier being renamed mid-campaign, after a viewer of mine assumed control of them via a Twitch redeem.

The Repairman aka Dragon deserves his medal. Thanks. :<

Awesome, thank you!

Medals from one save can't be moved to another running campaign. But the LogMedalsToConsole command should log the medals in your launch.log in the correct format to be added in the XComMedals.ini under the existing default medals for a new campaign.

Is there a way to transfer the custom medals that I created from one save to another? Or maybe make them in a local mod? Thanks!

I've mentioned before that not allowing multiples of the same medal on the same soldier is an executive decision. I do not plan on adding it to this mod. This does not prevent any other modder from making it as a separate add-on, they are more than welcome to, but it's not going to come from me.

Are you planning to fix it so if a solider earns more then 1 of the same medal it will show up as something like x2 next to like say if they get hurt on more missions the mod will display more then 1 purple heart per wound?

@tiktaalik
I think Y. Valerunner knows that they can , they just forget to and so want something to force the choice on them.

You can award medal in the avenger screen, post mission.

I would highly recommend a way to force the medal page, or auto-award some medals to certain things.

I recommend after the Skyranger lands, but before the loot table is shown. I always forget giving these out and I feel bad for my soldiers.

That would break balance. So no, it won't be cool.

Adding medals for units that accomplished certain difficult tasks and giving them perks/stat increases (as in XEW) would be quite cool indeed

@ Evil
Yes
