@fearlessiron no, I was trying this and had a problem where AML would hang when scanning mods:

What ended up working is launching AML inside steam as a non-steam app

@miku567 I'm also on Linux and AML works for me. I've used the approach described here (the "easy way" one), have you tried that?
miku567 30 May @ 5:20am 
@fearlessiron yeah I'm on linux

Hey miku567, thanks for reaching out. Are you playing in an environment where you can't use AML?

As XpanD wrote, I'd have to compile the mod against the WotC SDK and create a separate release to make it work with the default launcher.
XpanD 29 May @ 8:00am 
That'll be the vanilla support, think that would only be fixable with a separate WOTC-only release?

For what it's worth: There's a lot of mixed environment mods like this, voicepacks in particular. Vanilla and WOTC use separate development setups, and the full WOTC SDK already takes up 100GB just on its own.

I believe this (+ the awkwardness of maintaining two builds) is why a ton of mods are WOTC-only, even if they could technically work on vanilla as well. Easiest to just grab AML to make all that work. (and to get its other fixes and quality of life stuff)

The official launcher aka not AML marks this mod as incompatible with WOTC, incorrectly. Can you fix this?

Is there any mod that give information about items in Black Market?

Very nice mod. Thank you. When used in conjunction with [WOTC] Filtered Menus , they overlap. What I did was change the configs on Mod Menu for BMSS:

Stat Panel Location X: to 1340
Stat Panel Location Y: to 340 (optional)

or

Stat Panel Location X: to 280
Stat Panel Location Y: to 390 .

Just in case someone also uses it and encountered the overlap. I prefer the first option

Cheers from Brasil

Thanks, copyrite!

Great mod! You went above and beyond with the configurability, and hats off for version controlling it too!

The latest update fixes the problem that the Psi Offense stat was never actually shown. By default, it is now shown when the Sectoid Autopsy has been completed. There is an option to disable that requirement, though, and always show Psi Offense.

Good to hear that it works for you now, SimoneP! Thanks for reporting back!

Hi fearlessiron,
after unsubscribing and trying succesfully GitHub v.1.0.0, I resubscribed to updated Steam version, and now it worked.
I'm wondering if the first update downloaded on July 19th was corrupted and caused crash.
Now everything seems to work fine.
And apparently, at the moment no conflicts with other mods (and I am playing with 800+ mods).
I also tried different load orders but I did not notice any difference whatsoever.
Sorry, for false alarm.
SimoneP 21 Jul, 2023 @ 3:17am 
I'll give a try as soon as possible, but probably not today, sorry.
I keep you informed.
fearlessiron  [author] 21 Jul, 2023 @ 12:26am 
@SimoneP Thanks for reporting this. Does reverting to v1.0.0 solve the startup problem for you?
SimoneP 20 Jul, 2023 @ 11:33pm 
It partially conflicts with [WOTC] Soldier Info Redux, or at least something appears not to be displayed correctly in that mod.
In any case, before 19th july update, "[Vanilla/WotC] Black Market Soldier Stats" mod was working in my LWOTC campaign, but after the update I had to disable it because it prevented the game to be loaded.
Aks 20 Jul, 2023 @ 1:41pm 
For LWOTC?

@AD
intel is very usefull, because Genie receive more ability points as standard Soldier.
Dragon32 20 Jul, 2023 @ 2:38am 
@AD
You need to be using a mod like "Point-Based Not Created Equal"
AD 19 Jul, 2023 @ 11:20pm 
no intelligence is useless, dont think there are difference on the soldiers stats other than intelli.
fearlessiron  [author] 18 Jul, 2023 @ 2:26pm 
Adding combat intel would break the mod for vanilla. I might at some point do a companion mod for WotC that allows to show combat intel.
IceColdHeart 17 Jul, 2023 @ 11:37pm 
why dont display Intel States?
from Standard > Genie?
fearlessiron  [author] 15 Jul, 2023 @ 8:46am 
Yes, I've tested the mod with LW2 and had no problems.
Ensais 15 Jul, 2023 @ 8:38am 
Is this compatible with LW2?
p6kocka 14 Jul, 2023 @ 9:18pm 
Thanks
fearlessiron  [author] 14 Jul, 2023 @ 2:48pm 
Yes, the stats panel is added to UIBlackMarket_Buy via a screen listener.
p6kocka 14 Jul, 2023 @ 2:12pm 
Thank you for the mod. It´s very handy. What´s the name of the UI screen you have put the stats pls?
UIBlackMarket_Buy ???
