[WOTC] Mission XP

Description
Overview:
This mod adds the per mission XP concept from LW2/LWOTC, whereby soldiers get a certain amount of XP for completing a mission, regardless of whether they get any kills or not. I always felt that the killassist feature in vanilla was lacking, something that became painfully apparent in the multi-squad setup with CI, where you may not even get to kill all enemies on the map.

The amount of XP granted as well as the fraction of XP granted if the mission is failed is configurable. Essentially, each surviving soldier gets XP equal to (Number of initial enemies on the map)/(Number of XCOM soldiers on mission) times the DEFAULT_MISSION_XP_WEIGHT factor in XComMissionXP.ini file.
Note that because I play with Lost disabled, the the current XP weight might be too high for setups with Lost and multiple factions. In this case, you may want to reduce it in the abovementioned file to whatever you want.

Requirements:
WOTC expansion obviously
X2WOTCCommunityHighlander (any version)

Important notes/Compatibility:
  • I have tested this with vanilla and CI, so should be compatible.
  • Should be ok to install mid-campaign, as long as you load into a strategy save.

Credits:
  • Pavonis Interactive for creating LW2 in the first place and extending the longevity of this wonderful game
  • The usual suspects over at the modder's discord (Iridar, robojumper, Xymanek, RustyDios, Σ3245, TeslaRage 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

Units still get XP for kills with this mod, correct?

Just finished a campaign with about 685 mods, this one included, and had no major issues! Thanks for putting this up.

I really like the idea of this mod (Great idea General Disarray!). Has anyone tweaked the XP Weight with THE LOST in mind and what value worked for you?

And please remove any max level soldiers from the formula so that there's no waste of XP when max level soldiers are taken on missions (except when there are exclusively max level soldiers on a mission).

Hi! Thank you for the mod. Instead of lowering the XP boost, could you boost it a bit and completely remove the old way XP is granted (kills and "assists")? That would be how Long War 1 Rebalance works and it's perfect. At last I wouldn't be tempted to spawn Lost or reinforcements just for extra XP.

@General Disarray a wish for a mod: add a bool flag, which will allow to enable MINIMAL XP mode.
by default: ur mod just ADD mission XP (it's nice for those, who doesn't kill, but those who get kills will get x2 XP anyway).
Minimal XP mode: everyone in squad get minimal amount of XP:
if squad mate's earned XP < misson XP = get mission XP;
if squad mate's earned XP > mission XP then = own earned XP (u are fine by urself, u don't need any XP boosts)

@General Disarray, Compatible with LWOTC and mod jam?
