[WotC] Remove Dark Event (Grim Horizon Lite)

Description
** This mod makes Dark Events permanent. They are removable only by covert action. **

The player can initiate a covert action in the Resistance Ring to remove a random active Dark Event. This requires a high level of influence with the faction and a faction soldier of rank Captain or above to initiate. There is a risk of injury, ambush, and capture. A cost of 35 intel is required to remove one of these risks.

Remove Dark Event mod is a bit buggy. See pinned discussion below.

Edit config values in the XComRemoveDarkEvent.ini file.

[RemoveDarkEvent.X2StrategyElement_DarkCovertActions]
MINIMUM_RANK=5
INTEL_COST=35
MULTIPLES_ALLOWED=true
REQUIRE_FACTION=true
ALWAYS_AVAILABLE=false
INFLUENCE_LEVEL=eFactionInfluence_Influential

NOTE: The minium rank in the config file must be an integer value between 1 and 7 (8 if using the Brigadier rank) (1 = Squaddie).

Edit the time to complete the covert action in the XComGameBoard.ini file. The left side of the equation is the difficulty level, the right side is the hours to complete.

[CovertAction_PrepareDark X2CovertActionTemplate]
MinActionHours[0]=168
MinActionHours[1]=168
MinActionHours[2]=168
MinActionHours[3]=288

MaxActionHours[0]=240
MaxActionHours[1]=240
MaxActionHours[2]=240
MaxActionHours[3]=360

NOTE: The hours to complete should be a multiple of 24.


FAQ:

Is Grim Horizon required? Yes. This mod automatically enables Grim Horizon. Without Grim Horizon on, the Dark Events will often disappear before you can initiate or complete the covert action. Which makes them pointless. And you love/hate Grim Horizon! That's why you're here!

Is this compatible with Long War of the Chosen (LWotC)? Yes it is. Thanks to ragnakore for confirming this.

What difficulty are the default settings for? I suggest reducing the default settings for Commander and Legend difficulties.

Where are the config files? Typically they are found in Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1548905424\Config

When will the Remove Dark Event covert actions start showing up? For Remove Dark Events to appear in the Resistance Ring, you must have the proper influence with the faction. After that, it is random whether or not they are available during a particular month. There is a config option to force Remove Dark Event covert actions to show up every month.

Does this work mid-campaign? Yes. This mod requires the Grim Horizon setting enabled. The mod automatically enables Grim Horizon if it wasn't enabled at the start of the campaign. Removing this mod does not disable Grim Horizon for your current campaign.

Does this work with other mods that add new Dark Events? Yes. This mod selects from the "active" Dark Events list (see this mod's profile picture), to which all permanent Dark Events are added.

Try that?

Hey, so I'm at the point where most of my soldiers are Seargeant or higher in a new campaign with this, have done many covert ops with all factions and still haven't had one to remove any dark events. They're beginning to become unruly and I just had four added within the last 7 in game days to a total of 14. Is there some trigger I'm missing to unlock these missions or is it broken?

I had 6 dark events stacked before I could even reach the base mod influence required and got wrecked by a combo of show of force, armour, extra support, and better weapons. became impossible for any mission lol.

Still, fun while it lasted.

Sorry about your troubles. CTDs are usually a sign of some sort of mod incompatibility.

i am running into a problem that CTD's my game.

I run a covert infiltration mission chain to remove the dark event 'Dark Tower'
I infiltrate to 250%.

After i finish the mission, whenever i go to A mission loadout or my armory to see my soldiers, i crash to desktop.
Just before is totally fine.

The grim horizon mods:
soci grim horizon lite redux
wotc grim horizon text fix
wotc grim horizon fix
wotc remove dark event ( grim horizon lite)

added enemy that is present, the viper king.

if i disable thse mods; i can't complete the mission as the relay becomes a inactive object without HP or a trigger for the mission.

Also i can't find the name of the dark event to remove it by command. I can't test removing the DE that way for obvious reasons.

To my knowledge i have succesfully removed other DE's withotu an issue.

A thought occured: i do not see the mission in the Covert ops. could a possible issue lay with the fact it's no longer in the CO list?

does this remove permanent dark events from Lwotc?

Thank you :steamthumbsup:

@ShinyNobody

You can set ALWAYS_AVAILABLE=true in the config file for this mod. I don't know of any console command to remove Dark Events.
ShinyNobody 9 May, 2023 @ 6:32am 
Is there a way to force such a mission or a command to remove one? i just got an dark event but did not miss a mission top prevent it. so i am ealry and stuck with a annoying one. but because i did not miss a mission i want to remove it
