About This Mod

This is a complete overhaul of MOCX character generation (cosmetics ONLY).

Major Features
  • Iridar’s Appearance Manager Support
  • The Appearance Store from the Character Pool will be inherited correctly, which is where the IAM magic happens. Only works for the unit given back to XCOM, NOT the MOCX units themselves.
  • Expanded Uniform Options
  • MOCX Uniform configurations expanded to include tattoos, scars, patterns, and tinting.
  • Customization of Reapers, Skirmisher, Templars, SPARKs, and Proxians
  • Hero units are now generated so they no longer steal regular soldier’s names. Also allows for Hero units to be assigned a custom hero class when captured by XCOM.
  • Character Pool Class -> MOCX Dark Class Support
  • Allows mapping character pool preferred class to the Dark Class used by MOCX. Meaning, that if you have a Dark VIP flagged as a Ranger it will spawn a MOCX Dark Ranger. When that Dark Ranger is captured and converted, it uses the regular MOCX rules for the counterpart class it gives to XCOM.
  • Character Pool Backstory Support
  • Allows inheriting the character pool backstory when converting from MOCX -> XCOM.
  • ADVENT & EXALT Nationalities
  • Add ADVENT & EXALT nationalities with unique flags. This makes sure MOCX units have the correct nationality applied to them without requiring third party mods. When using MOCX as EXALT 1.4 it will switch from ADVENT to EXALT (can be turned off by configs.)
  • Advanced Recruitment
  • Base MOCX limits new recruits to Sergeant rank at most (they can level like normal after recruitment). This is now exposed to configs and supports MOCX recruiting all the way up to Brigadier General level units (requires manual class modifications of the Dark Classes to support Brigadier General rank abilities.)
  • Allies Unknown: War of the Chosen Edition Support
  • MOCX now recruits Allies Unknown species*. This will apply cosmetics, character pool looks/backstories, give racial abilities/stat modifiers to MOCX units, and grant the AU unit when captured. Any activated abilities granted this way will NOT have AI support and not be used by MOCX enemies.
  • Requires additional dependencies NOT listed as a hard requirement for this mod. Please add the dependencies listed below to enable AU integration.
  • Musashis RPG Overhaul Support
  • Now has built in support to auto-swap the soldier given to XCOM to a Universal Soldier so it plays nice with RPGO. Can be turned off in configs.
  • Mod-Added MOCX Dark Events
  • Now has the ability to patch any mod-added Dark Event so that they will only show up while MOCX HQ is active and not destroyed.

NOTE: This does NOT change class structure or AI behavior.

Configuration

This mod replaces and upgrades the rules for how MOCX interacts with the Character Pool. All configs can be found in XComDarkXCom.ini. For full information, read the documentation in the config file.

The default configuration shipped turns ON using the character pool, turns ON mapping based upon preferred character pool class, turns ON Rookies being used for any Dark Class, and allows BOTH Soldiers and Dark VIPs to be pulled for use. Also, if using Allies Unknown, default is turned ON to allow AU units to be generated.

Rules Changes
  • Allow MOCX to map character pool characters based upon preferred class
  • Allow random generation of characters as well as using the character pool
  • Allow Rookies to be used for any MOCX class
  • Choose whether to allow Soldiers, Dark VIPs, or both are to be used from the character pool
  • Configure which character pool preferred classes map to which MOCX Dark Classes
  • Configure Hero classes for mapping to MOCX Dark Hero Classes
  • Configure gender recruitment guidelines to support all male, mixed, or all female barracks recruitment (both Character Pool and random soldier generation)
  • Allow Allies Unknown species to be used by MOCX and, in turn, given to XCOM when captured (non-Hero units only)

Installing

This works best with a new campaign. If installed mid-campaign any unit added to MOCX HQ after installing will behave correctly.

FAQ
  • Q: I am trying to use character pool units, but all I get are randoms!
  • A: Check your configuration. Verify that bForceCharacterPoolClass flag is off to pull all CP units.
  • Q: How many Character Pool units will MOCX use over a full campaign?
  • A: The default MOCX barracks is 10, with squads of 4 – 6 per outing. Over the course of a campaign MOCX can use 30+ units.

Console Commands

Adds a new console command, RegenerateMOCXCrew, that allows for rebuilding existing MOCX crewmen. To view the current crew, use PrintMOCXCrew.

  • RegenerateMOCXCrew can be invoked without parameters to rebuild ALL crewmembers.
  • RegenerateMOCXCrew [string NameOfUnitToRebuild] allows you to rebuild a SINGLE crewmember by passing in the name of that unit (which is First Name and Last Name)

Core Dependencies

Allies Unknown Dependencies

Customizer+ is designed to auto-detect Allies Unknown and will ONLY attempt to introduce AU concepts if it is present. Without AU installed, these features will be turned OFF by default, regardless of configs.

Compatibility
  • MCOs for MOCX around generating characters and giving them back to MOCX.
  • Fully compatible with Rebellious MOCX.
  • Supports all MOCX cosmetic overhauls.
  • MOCX units do NOT respect Gender Bias, so instead use the built in configs.

Thanks
