[WOTC] Soldier Info Redux

Description
What is this?
This is a WOTC update to a small Grimy mod Tactical Kill Counter , not to be confused with my other recently released redux Tactical UI Kill Counter mod !
Grimy was a great modder that has stepped away from the modding scene, with the instructions
that his mods can be used, updated etc as long as credit is given. So thank you Grimy!

Features
  • Displays a unit's kill count and kills required to level up in the Tactical HUD.
  • Slightly adjusts the Soldier Info names layout for clarity.
  • Fixes class icons for Civvie's/VIP's
  • Fixes class icons for Advent/Aliens under mind control or from Double Agent
  • Fixes class icon of the Commanders Avatar to not be hard coded to the psi-op icon
  • Optional Extra to give the Commanders Avatar a NickName.
    Yes Really! See the localisation file.
  • Display's a units Class Name under the name/nickname fields
  • Uses newer CHL methods to get soldiers Class and Rank Icons
  • Uses newer CHL methods for Factions to use CHL 1.24 Stacked Icons
  • Respects Bond Icon Flags and Colour Coded Bonds
  • Works with Hero Class Progressive Icons
  • Respects CHL Focus Bar
Should work with all CHL Versions (LWotC, CI ... RPGO)

Config and Options
  1. Option to use a full count or short count for xp/kills. Defaults to short.
  2. Option to just have the class icon fixes and name to nickname swap
  3. Option to have the Nickname in the small topline display. Defaults to not included.
  4. Option to use either a localised string or promotion icon. Defaults to icon.
  5. Option to add unique 'class/rank icons' for any template ...
  6. Option to name the Commanders Avatar, yes still really!
Overrides
UITacticalHUD_SoldierInfo SetStats
I can't think of any other mods that do so...

Known Issues
  1. Psi Overhaul v3: when used with this mod the option in Psi Overhaul v3 to colour units names should be turned off (it is off by default)
    Kirukas LWOTC ModJam also turns this feature 'on', so you need to switch it off here if using this mod too.
    Fixed in v1.1 .
  2. NewSkirmisher(Rebalance + New Perks) Patch Version: this mod will conflict due to using its own version of UITacticalHUD_SoldierInfo for the unique action stacks bar. That mod could achieve the same results by updating to use the CHL focus bar ...
... Bug Reports welcome as always

Credits and Thanks
HUGE thanks to GrimyBunyip for the original vanilla mod, linked above.
MANY thanks to Wolf Renegade [6thAB] and DarthMagus for making me aware of the original and it's issues in WotC. I hope I addressed all your concerns.
As always much thanks and appreciation to the XCOM2 Modders Discord, for constant support!

~ Enjoy !! and please buy me a Cuppa Tea [www.buymeacoffee.com]

Thank you for the updates. Mad respect for this modding community.

As someone who is really bad at recognizing the classes based on their icon (especially with class mods), this mod is very useful.

I installed the Highlander and the game now working and not crushing. very helpful mod by the way. now I dont have to worry if the game just forgot to put a plus on the icon of soldier or he actually dont have enough XP.:steamthumbsup:

This mod is working with Unit Flag Extended and Detailed Soldier List Redux .... I can't confirm about their "earlier versions" ...

(I have many other mods and I dont know with who it doesnt compatible)

Is this mod working with Additional icons and Detailed soldier list? the mod is crushing my game when i loading a save.

Should be fixed now :)

OH!!
Sorry.. my local settings vs workshop defaults
Good catch, I'll update that to set the default flag correctly again

After 15.8. update, mod stopped showing xp numbers, so I had to manually edit config file. I think "bNO_NUM_DISPLAY = false" did the trick, it was set to true by default.

Try taking them on a mission.. iirc, LWotC has a "has been on a mission" requirement hidden into it's promotion rules ...
