About this mod
Pick a perk from any level when levelling up your soldiers. Create powerful soldiers at lower levels. Works well with Training Roulette.
- Permissions and credits
I recommend that you install this mod using Long War Mod Manager (http://www.nexusmods.com/xcom/mods/620/?). Alternatively you can use PatcherGUI 7.1 or better if you wish. This has been tested with Long War beta 15f but it should work with earlier versions.
There are 2 versions of this mod in the download zip file. The "CommandersPerkChoice Second Wave.txt" version will create a new second wave "Commander's Perk Choice" option to control whether or not this mod is enabled and MUST be installed using Long War Mod Manager. The "CommandersPerkChoice.txt" version will enable this mod for all games, and can be installed with Long War Mod Manager or PatcherGUI 7.1 (or better).
This mod allows you to pick a perk from any level when levelling up your soldiers. You can now create some very powerful soldiers at lower levels.
When a soldier has a promotion available, the left/right arrow buttons that normally select the next/previous soldier will now cycle the perks up or down the perk tree. You can thus pick a perk from any level of the tree when levelling up. This only applies once the soldier has been assigned a class. The 3 individual perks per level are still mutually exclusive.
This mod is recommended for use with the "Training Roulette" second wave option.
This does not work with MECs (because Training Roulette is unavailable for MECs), or for Psi.
This mod can be a rather OP, so you can limit the number of future perks selectable by changing the MAXLEVELS alias value before you install it.
Find this line in the patch file:
ALIAS=MAXLEVELS:<%b 6>
and change the number after the %b.
Allowed values are:
1 = Normal level up. You cannot pick perks from any future levels. This is standard level up behaviour.
2 = Pick perks from the current level or the next above it.
3 = Pick perks from the current level or the next 2 above it
4 = Pick perks from the current level or the next 3 above it
5 = Pick perks from the current level or the next 4 above it
6 = Pick perks from the current level or the next 5 above it (allows any level). DEFAULT.
1.0a Initial release
1.0b Fixed bug when more than one promotion was available. Added MAXLEVELS config setting
1.0c Same as 1.0b but bundled with second wave version
1.0d Fixed possible crash when loading the SkyRanger when this mod is installed. It was more likely to occur when selecting MECs or when loading more than 8 soldiers.
