[SOCI] Chain: Rescue Resistance Leader

Description
Overview
Do you play with Starting Jane Kelly? What if she gets killed by the ADVENT scums and you are left with no Resistance Leader?

Enter this mod. Introduces a new CI chain (CA -> Infil) to rescue Resistance Leader as long as you have less than 2 in barracks (configurable). It is an alternative to training the class you need via GTS. By default, the reward unit will get minimum of Genius Combat Intelligence. Technically, you could configure this mod to rescue any types of soldiers you want. Please take a look at this mod's configuration file for more information. Screenshot shows a sample of how it can be configured for Keeper class from Iridar's Denmother mod.

Can I enable this mid campaign?
Yes, that should be fine. Removing mid campaign may break things though.

What about mod compatibility?
Should be compatible with almost anything. If you see any issues, please let me know.

  • Covert Infiltration - Made for CI.
  • LWOTC - No way.
  • WOTC Use My Class - You can use it concurrently with this mod but this mod will not respect character pool class. Sorry.

Requirements
Required mods are required except for Prof Jane Kelly (soft requirement).

With this mod's default configuration Prof Jane Kelly class is a required mod because that's the soldier class of the unit to be rescued. If you change the configuration and specify a different soldier class, you don't need it.

Credits
  • NotSoLoneWolf and Xymanek for Strategy Overhaul, of which many of the codes were repurposed for this mod. The very modular nature of CI has made it possible for small modders like me to build mods like this.
  • RustyDios for coming up with a use case for this mod. I have had it for a while but was hesitant to release it.
  • Mr Danger Dude for code support and testing for compatibility with `Viper` character templates.
  • Folks over at MEME Discord who has always welcome my mod ideas!
  • All modders from XCOM 2 Modding Discord!
  • Buying me a cup of coffee keeps me going![www.buymeacoffee.com]

Let me know in the comments below if you have questions!
I hope you will have fun with this mod, I know I did. Thank you for reading!

Hi @TeslaRage, is it possible to:

1.) set out a timeframe for when this chain can trigger. This can just proc whenever in CI, so if I set the minimum to 2 and start with 1 soldier, I could literally get a mission within the first week to rescue someone, which seems way to early.

2.) Respect character pool settings. It just generates random soldiers rather than picking who I set out for the respective classes.

Still a great mod, thanks a lot!

indeed ... and you can make crazy stuff with it. like make it a chain to get a spark

Scratch my confusion. It's adding a chain to rescue a field support soldier. Just properly read that mod's description (teach me not to go mod hunting at 2am) and it has a config to fire this chain too.

it is not necessarrily correct that no other soldier can have this class, also everything can be changed in the config. If she would be the only one being able to have this class wouldn't this mod be useless?

I'm confused. I have Jane Kelly in my gatecrasher squad (from starting Jane Kelly), she has the resistance leader class (from the prof class mod). I get back to the avenger. This mission instantly pops. She's not dead, which is irrelevant, becuase it's looking for her class in the barrack. But she's in the barracks with this class so surely it shouldn't pop. If I change the limit to 1 or 0 it still pops. Why is it 2 by default anyway? If she is alive you only have 1 in the barracks. So you are always going to have less than 2 WOTC_APA_DirectorKelly class soldiers. Since she is the only one who can have that class.

@TeslaRage - Is it intentional that you have no hours in XComGameBoard for the covert action? All Covert actions in CI have hours.

@Flambeau200061 Fair comment. Updated description.
Flambeau200061 9 Oct, 2022 @ 1:40pm 
My bad, guess I misinterpreted " if she falls to the hands ..." as "has fallen ..." (as with Mox in the Prologue), which actually would be a cool story by itself imho. But then "if she falls to the hands" is not exactly the same as "if she gets killed", so the wording is a bit open to misinterpretation.

@Flambeau200061 Its explained in the mod description. Its not about rescuing Jane Kelly, its about getting a replacement for Jane Kelly (which is a special class with Proficiency Plugin) if she dies in your campaign.
Flambeau200061 9 Oct, 2022 @ 5:33am 
Perhaps a stupid question, but required items says "Proficieny Class Jane Kelly" - obvious. But that mod says required item "Jane Kelly Starting soldier". So now I get her as a staring soldier. How am I going to rescue her if she's not captured? Or can I just ignore/disable that requirement?
