Commander's Choice [WOTC & Vanilla]

Description
This mod is compatible with both Vanilla XCOM 2 and War of the Chosen.
The mod may be marked as incompatible with War of the Chosen. This can be ignored. The mod is classified as a vanilla xcom mod to maintain cross-compatibility.

Commander's Choice
Commander's Choice lets you set the class of any Rookie who is ready to rank up to Squaddie.

Any rookie ready for promotion will have a Commander's Choice button in the Armory Soldier Menu.
By Default Commander's Choice disables the Promotion Button for Rookies on the After Action screen (screenshot 3).
The Promote button on the Armory screen can optionally be disabled as well. This behavior can be customized in the ini.

The Commander's Choice button will only appear for Rookies that have earned but not yet received a promotion.
The PsiOps and Spark classes are not supported, for lore and mechanical reasons. The Commander's Choice button will not appear for these classes.
All other class, including custom classes, are supported. The only requirement is that the class be available to rookies for promotion.

In my case, as boyrdee mentioned,

I changed the following:

SteamLibrary/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/688405905/CommandersChoice.XComMod

[mod]
publishedFileId=688405905
Title=Commanders Choice
Description=Description of My XCOM 2 Mod.
tags=
contentImage=
RequiresXPACK=true


And then modified:

c:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\688405905\Config\XComCommandersChoice.ini

[CommandersChoice.UIScreenListener_CommandersChoice]
;Disable Next/Prev Soldier buttons if either is rookie ready to level up?
;Default: bPreventAccidentalLevelUp=True -> False
bPreventAccidentalLevelUp=True -> False

After changing the value from True to False, the Commander's Choice menu appeared.

Hope it would help.

WORK FOR ME MISSING CONFIRMATION BUTTON

Confirm unlike Telcontyr before, the following addition of RequiresXPACK=true, enables CC from the New Mod Launcher for me.

The only fix that worked for me was installing the "Alternative Mod Launcher" from github and Commanders choice works now !

@LeoArcticaa how did you fix it?
LeoArcticaa 28 May @ 9:49am 
Nevermind I think I found or fixed it.

I just resubbed and now the commander's choice option is at the top of soldier tab when you go to promote them, for me it was above the Customise button.
LeoArcticaa 27 May @ 11:49pm 
Theres no option for commanders choice anymore, just promote solider :<
