Covert Experience

Description
What this mod does is simple, and helpful. Whenever you do a covert action it gives you extra experience. How much extra experience is related to the FL you are currently at. If you are on FL 5 you can get 1-5 extra experience per covert action. I mainly made this mod to make it easier to level up a backup team via covert actions.


This mod works Also works with CI, sadly does not work with LWOTC

@huntersorce20 yes, that is how it roughly goes.

so, for example, if i set the covert action kills to 3, and the FL is 5, then for a covert action the game will select between 3-8 xp randomly to award, am i understanding right?

@huntersorce20 the formula cannot be changed in configs. Its a 1 to max FL bonus to EXP (picks randomly) gained from covert actions. So Covert action gives 1 EXP and then the bonus is added. the min/maxcovertactionkills is the default amount (normally 1, but I made it three) you can modify that but the bonus cannot be changed.

ok, i didn't see anything related to force level in the configs, so i got confused. so if i were to set the covert action kills to 3, like this,
+MinCovertActionKills=3
+MaxCovertActionKills=3
then how does that translate to xp based on fl? is it xp per kill=fl or something like that? i'm just a bit confused on how to balance the configs since idk how force level exactly relates to xp based on kills on covert actions since i can't see that formula in the config.

so normally covert actions provide 1 exp per completed covert action. This mod makes it give 1 to max FL of exp per covert action.

@huntersorce20 by editing the code of covert action EXP itself, you cannot edit said data in configs.

how does force level relate to xp at all? the configs don't show anything related to force level, and the base soldier kill/xp formula is unaffected by force level. see here for details: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/eutkny/xcom2_detailed_soldier_xp_and_leveling_post/
anyway, what did you change that makes force level a component of how much xp a soldier gains on a covert op?

@stout_drawl4 yes in the sense it will not affect it. Covert actions will still only give exp to the soldiers who go on it. All soldiers gain XP will only give XP to everyone based on kills.

Is this compatible with All Soldiers Gain XP?
