WotC: robojumper’s Squad Select
My personal take on a Squad Select Screen! Completely built from the ground up!
Features:
- User Interface for more than 6 soldiers. How many? There’s no limit! Scroll or Drag&Drop.
- More intuitive with built-in overview!
- More information: PCS’, Health, Abilities (Shows You The Skills), Stats, Armor, Primaries, Secondaries, Pockets…
- 100% controller compatible!
- Configurable with Mod Config Menu, but also standalone!
- Includes a squad size setting!
Not included:
- A fix for spawn points when you use more than 9 soldiers. See recommended mods below.
Known Issues:
- Armory Screens reachable from the Squad Select Screen have a Hotlink to Geoscape. DO NOT CLICK IT. IT CAN CAUSE THE GAME TO LOCK UP FROM AVENGER DEFENSE. This is something I can’t easily fix.
The same applies to a Training Center button. It is not supposed to appear.
How do I increase my Squad Size?
It has a built-in way of choosing the squad size, either via MCM or via the local config file.
If the built-in way of modifying squad size breaks with your setup, you can disable it in XComGame.ini
Recommended Mods:
- Mod Config Menu , if you want to have a UI for config.
- Allow for larger squads , if you want to bring more than 9 soldiers, or
- alternatively, the [WOTC] Core Collection Meta Mod which also provides larger spawn points.
FAQ:
- How do I increase my Squad Size?
- See above.
- Why does this not include a Spawn Point fix?
- I wanted to make it as compatible as possible. Since other mods are addressing this issue, I didn’t add it.
- I don’t have MCM. How do I configure the mod?
- Start the game once. It will create a file: "C:/Users/%USERNAME%/Documents/My Games/XCOM2 War of the Chosen/XComGame/Config/XComrobojumperSquadSelect_NullConfig.ini". There you can adjust the same values exposed to MCM.

- LeaderEnemyBoss for ShowMeTheSkillsRevived, ideas of which I borrowed.
- DerBK for ABA2, because the mod is balanced around 6-8 soldiers. Without it, this mod wouldn’t exist!
- xylthixlm for helping me with some math.
- .vhs for upgrade icons and the thumbnail. It’s great, don’t you think?
- xymanek/Astral Descend for providing me with more feature requests to implement. Also for poking me to do the update.
