Description:

This is a simple mod that will display the class icons for non-standard Hero classes instead of the faction’s icon.

The class icons will show in the promotion screen, soldier list, soldier details, and in the tactical list.

NOTE: This mod does nothing special on its own. It requires OTHER mods to add custom hero classes with unique class icons before you will see anything special.

• X2WOTCCommunityHighlander v1.24.0

• Q: Why is <insert class here> icon not showing up?!
• A: This mod swaps out the faction flag icon for the class icon assigned to the class.
  
  • Verify the class itself has a valid icon image which displays content.
  • The simplest way to verify a class has a properly displaying class icon is to use Yet Another F1.
  • Go into a battle with the class, hit F1 on the unit and look in the upper left-hand corner. Whatever image you see in this screen should be the same image you see everywhere this mod touches.
  • If it looks like there is no class icon showing, the class may have set the class icon to a blank image on the assumption that the class did not need a special class icon due to Hero classes normally inheriting the faction flag instead of a custom class icon.
  • If you wish to revert a class to using the faction flag icon, comment out or delete the +IconImage="img:///SomeExampleClassIconString" line in the XComClassData.ini definition for the class in the class mod.

These mods will keep the custom icon from displaying.

• [WOTC] Detailed Soldier Lists: Use [WOTC] Detailed Soldier Lists Redux instead.

• Shout out to the community highlander folks who helped me get this feature into the Highlander.
