[WotC] Jane Kelly Starting Soldier

Description
Features
This mod adds everyone's favourite ballcap-wearing, viper-befriending, tutorial-surviving Ranger to Operation Gatecrasher in the regular campaign.

By default, you'll get Jane Kelly (in either her opening cinematic casual outfit or classic Tutorial armour, you choose) as a Squaddie rank Ranger on Operation Gatecrasher. As well as being thematic, this adds some more tactical options on an otherwise pretty repetitive mission.

Pretty much everything about this mod is configurable: you can change Jane Kelly's class, starting rank, appearance, name, everything.

Requirements
None, although given this is a mod for Gatecrasher, it won't do much for an ongoing campaign.

Compatibility
It should be compatible with anything that doesn't completely replace the Gatecrasher starting squad. It uses the same method as Starting SPARK, so anything that works with this should work with too.

Recommended Companion Mods
  • Crasher Class by Kiruka: A custom class specifically for Jane Kelly for LWotC.

  • Intelligence Officer by shiremct: A custom class specifically for Jane Kelly for Proficiency Class Pack.

  • Rescue Denmother by Iridar: I referenced this mod extensively to figure out how to make this. It's a great mod in its own right, and it comes with a cosmetic set that looks a lot like Jane Kelly's casual clothes with armour and rigging, so it's also worth picking up if you want to give Jane a more stylish look than her grey tutorial armour.

how will this function for RPGO?

Jane Kelly does work with LWoTC. If you use only the starting soldier mod she will appear as an original/vanilla WOTC Ranger. If you use Shiremects Proficiency Classes and the Jane Kelly plug in she will appear as an Intel Officer but only have 7 ranks. Crasher class works fine. Hope this helps.

Will this mod work with LWOTC if one doesn't use the Crasher Class mod as well, i.e. will Jane show up as a LWOTC class, or will she show up as a WOTC ranger?

When playing with the tutorial enabled it creates a duplicate copy of Jane Kelly. Due to how the second mission autofills the troop slots, the Kelly added by this mod can take priority of the slot.

hey big thanks for making a mod that has my favorite Character into the game outside of that tutorial. she kicks major butt.

Part of me hopes for a Peter Osei and Ana Rameriez mod, along side a mod that has Elena and Mox as seperate Hero Units along side a random Reaper and Skirmisher

The slider controls how often cosmetic components of a mod or dlc are used in random character creation. In this case I think it is the casual vest Jane wears.

What is the slider for in the gameplay options?

Hello. Nice mod you made here. In the ini you said to uncomment these line to go back to 13 soldiers instead of 14 with your mod, I dont understand exactly what it means and what I should do. Also how to make her start with her soldier gear instead of her civilian one? Ty

Unfortunately I don't believe that's easily fixed. XCOM can be quite finicky about weapon colour and tends to ignore the setting and use the default until you manually customise it. You can, however, change that default: Iridar has a mod that does that that's worked for me.
