[WOTC] [BETA] Extended Information Redux
Extended Information is a UI enhancement mod and a rewrite of Perfect Information. 🎯
Its goal is to provide maximum clarity about what’s happening on the battlefield.
From displaying hit, crit, graze, and miss chances in flyovers and ShotHUD to shotbar, precise damage previews, and enhanced tooltips, this mod gives you the information you need to make smarter tactical decisions. ⚔️📊
Most of these were ported from the unreleased development version of Extended Information developed by Mr. Nice and sebkulu 👍
- 💯 Accurate flyover percentages – flyovers now correctly display hit/miss/crit/graze chances, accounting for all bonuses and penalties. No more missing "100% hit" overwatch shots!
- 💻 Firaxis launcher compatibility – this mod is listed as a WotC mod in Firaxis Launcher, making it available while playing War of the Chosen. AML is still recommended
- 👨🏻💻 Hacking preview – now shows correct percentages and includes a detailed breakdown of how these values are calculated in ShotWings. Applies to Full Override as well. Hack rewards are now shown above ability descriptions
- 🎨 Colored values in ShotHUD – min and max damage are colored orange instead of green if there is any overall bonus damage from perks or abilities. Graze and C-DMG values are colored green and yellow respectively to match their corresponding default shot bar colors
- 💥 Critical damage bonus – is now displayed for missing perks and abilities such as Lethal, Alpha Mike Foxtrot, Deadeye, and Precision Shot
- 📏 Damage modifier ranges – damage modifiers are now shown as ranges where appropriate in ShotWings, for abilities and perks like Deadeye
- 🛡️ Ablative HP flyovers – flyovers now correctly show hit/miss/crit/graze chances on shots that only damage the ablative HP, instead of just displaying "Protected!"
- ⚓ "Grappled" – is now shown in a flyover during Skirmisher’s Justice and Wrath abilities
- 🤝 Aim assist – is now disabled automatically on game launch when it is deemed unsafe to use (if LWOTC is detected or Highlander’s bDisableAimAssist is set to true). In this case, Mod Config Menu displays a warning, and users may prevent aim assist from being disabled automatically with a new checkbox "Confirm Unsafe Aim Assist"
- ⚔️ Expected damage – is a new stat in ShotHUD representing weighted average damage. When aiming at the current target with the selected ability, what is the average damage you will do, considering hit chance, crit chance, dodge, graze band, weapon damage with all damage modifiers, and bonus crit damage. Can be enabled in Mod Config Menu
- 🛠️ ShotHUD layout – now provides more customization options for stats such as graze chance, critical damage and expected damage. Instead of predefined layouts, you can now choose which stat appears in each ShotHUD slot
- 🧠 Preview status effect chances for stat contest abilities, like Insanity
- 🍀 Preview status effect chances for static chance abilities, like Void Rift. (disabled by default)
- 🐍 If you’re aware of the unreleased development version of EI – its bugs were fixed, like an incorrect damage preview and viper’s tongue pull animation
Not all changes have been extensively tested. May contain bugs that are not present in the original mod. 😇
- 💀 Kill chance – new stat in ShotHUD. When aiming at the current target, shows the probability of killing the target considering hit chance, crit chance, dodge, graze band, damage, crit damage, enemy HP, shields, block, and passives
- ⚔️ Expected damage for AOEs – extend expected damage calculations to explosives and cone-based abilities
- 📜 Combat log
Unlike the original, this mod now requires X2WOTCCommunityHighlander v1.22.0 or newer. ℹ️
This mod overrides the following classes:
- X2Action_ApplyWeaponDamageToUnit
- UITacticalHUD_ShotHUD
- UITacticalHUD_ShotWings
- UITacticalHUD_Tooltips
- UITacticalHUD_Enemies
✅ Safe to add or remove mid-campaign and in the middle of a tactical combat save.
⚙️ Safe to replace Extended Information, however EI settings will NOT carry over to EIR.
- [WOTC] YAF1 Autopsy Required Extension (thanks to RustyDios)
- [WOTC] Tactical HUD Lag Fixes – might be compatible when following instructions for Extended Information on their workshop page. Superseded by Highlander.
- [WOTC] Complicated Red Fog – untested with EIR. EI does not display the correct hit chance on the flyover when the enemy unit has red fog.
- WOTC – Extended Information!
- Perfect Information
- Tactical HUD Shot Bar
- [WotC] RW Realistic Aiming Angles – EIR doesn’t read the values from this mod
