[WOTC] Squad Manager

Description
Overview:
This mod aims to bring the squad functionality from LW2/LWOTC to vanilla WOTC. As of this moment, this is currently in BETA and things might get changed (enhanced?) in the future. For now, this is just a QoL improvement, allowing you to create and outfit squads and send them into missions. Unlike LW2/LWOTC, there are no tactical benefits associated with keeping soldiers assigned to the same squad, but in any case, feel free to use it for all your role-playing needs. If you want the former, check out Squad Based Roster mod here (with the standard warning about it being in BETA yada yada...)

Requirements:
WOTC expansion obviously
X2WOTCCommunityHighlander (any version)

Other notes:
  • While it may be installed in an ongoing campaign, I would highly recommend starting a new run. Otherwise, you may experience oddities such as not being able to assign soldiers currently on covert actions to any squads until they are back at the Avenger.
  • Based on my preliminary testing and helpful reporting by several others, it seems to be working well with Covert Infiltration. One issue currently being reported is that when deploying covert actions, the soldier/crew slots may be filled incorrectly. I am looking into a potential fix, but in the meantime, if you select another squad from the drop-down menu or manually empty the slots first, it should work properly afterwards.

Credits:
  • Pavonis Interactive for creating LW2 in the first place and extending the longevity of this wonderful game
  • Peter (LWOTC dev) who has been very patient and helpful with all my noob questions
  • The usual suspects over at the modder's discord (Iridar, robojumper, Xymanek, RustyDios and countless others) for indulging, inspiring and assisting me through this and countless other small mods that will probably never see the light of day

Hello, great mod but im a bit confused, i put to a squad of 8, and first mission 8 show up, its the blow up statue at the start, but on second mission even if says 8 on mod, and 8 on the config file, only see 4? any clue whats going on or i am being blind and dumb, ( prolly )

It made LWOTC bug for me (the enemies start with a very large detection area). Do not use these mods together, they are not meant to.

Hello! Glad that one worked out.

@Dragon32

Aaaand that test just happened; the new mod works, no CTD, not even a delay. So I guess "Full Shadow Report" will replace "Show Enemies and Terrain on mission planning" in my load order.

Hey, nice to see you again, I often see your comments on mods, so it's good to finally say hello. xD

I'll test that mod out, and report back my findings probably later today.

RustyDios re-worked that mod:

Not sure if using that helps?

ACTUAL UPDATE!
I figured out what's causing the CTD. I found a crashdump in AML, read that and it lead me to the actual culprit of the CTD:

https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1183583781

Disabled that mod, loaded up the game, ignored the warning, and... no more crashing in the armory squad view, oddly enough.

Which is very... odd. I suspect the only people who can figure out why these two mods are the ones who made them.

It's also possible that these two mods play nicely together, and it's a 3rd mod I have that is causing the issue between them (very possible since there are currently 366 mods enabled). If anyone knows how to share a modlist, lemme know. Perhaps someone will see what mods I have running and manage to figure this out.

To anyone reading this I would consider the mod:

WOTC Show Enemies and Terrain on Mission Planning

As a soft incompatibility for the time being
