Advanced Armours For WOTC Factions

Allows soldiers of the three WoTC factions to use some of the advanced armour from XCOM’s Proving Grounds.

* Not compatible with mods that add new soldier classes *
I suggest using All Armours For WOTC Factions instead if you’re using custom soldier classes, and you don’t want to manually edit ini files to make them work.

Can use Spider Suits and Wraith Suits

They cannot use EXO or WAR suits, or the unique Alien Hunters DLC armours.

Always start a new campaign when turning this mod on. Do not try and turn it on part-way through an existing game.

Warning: Does not play nice with mods that add new soldier classes!

No soldiers other than the vanilla XCOM classes and the WoTC Factions will be able to equip EXO, WAR, Spider or Wraith armours unless you open a text editor and do some ini editing. Instructions on how to do that below. Sorry for the inconvenience, but there was no better way to do this.

The reason is that, in order to make this work, I created two new catagories of armour and assigned the various proving grounds armours to one or the other. These need to be flagged as AllowedArmours in an X2SoldierClassTemplate in order for that class to wear them.

1) Find the folder where this mod is installed on your hard drive
(this is probably "Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent2685001128941500")

2) open the file XComClassData.ini in that folder, using any text editor. you’ll see a list of entries like:

[MyClass X2SoldierClassTemplate]
+AllowedArmors="soldierHeavy"
+AllowedArmors="soldierLight"

….where MyClass is the name of the soldier class.

3) Add another entry for your modded soldier’s class and hit save. Voila, it now works correctly. You can find the correct name for the SoldierClassTemplate by looking in that mod’s XComClassData.ini file.

if you wanted to give a class only one type of suit, then only add one of those lines with the +, soldierHeavy is for the EXO & WAR suits, and soldierLight is Spider & Wraith
