I figured out how to add more UI buttons! Now time to test it. UPDATE - The finished mod (Beta) is here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=626371463&searchtext=

I've been trying to mod the multiplayer squad editor, but haven't been able to change how many UI buttons appear (currently six). There's an important bit of code in UIMPShell_SquadEditor which calls various functions in UIList: m_kSlotList = Spawn(class'UIList', self); m_kSlotList.InitList('', listX, -400, Movie.UI_RES_X - 20, 310, true).AnchorBottomLeft(); m_kSlotList.itemPadding = listItemPadding; There's also this in UIPawnMgr: //this is the MP squad loadout we're checking for the units to spawn simulated function SetCheckGameState(XComGameState MPGameState) { CheckGameState = MPGameState; } function bool DefaultVariablePredicate(Name VarName) { return true; } Would really appreciate some help to figure out what to do next! Has anyone looked at this themselves? If so, have I overlooked something obvious?

Bump. Anyone got any ideas about how to mod the multiplayer menu UI? UPDATE - The class that displays the squad selection screen in multi. is UIMPShell_SquadEditor_Preset . I tested this by removing this UI screen entirely.

I think it would be very cool to fight hordes of advent in multi. So, I've been trying to mod squad sizes in multiplayer, by editing class UIMPShell_SquadEditor. I also tried referencing the base class / Mod class in Xcom.ini and creating a separate extended class of UIMPShell_SquadEditor (I copied the file and changed values like listItemPadding and m_NumAllowedUnits in the InitScreen function and in DefaultProperties). But so far, I haven't seen any change in the Squad Editor UI. But I'm new to UnrealScript. I have been able to change health values in multi, by editing an INI file in ModBuddy. Has anyone succeeded in making a multiplayer mod yet? Have I followed the correct approach so far?

Ever since my first XCOM multiplayer game I've thought - Wouldn't multiplayer be so much more fun if there was no unit limit or 16/ 24 units per team instead of just 8. I think the main part of the mod would be tweaking the Edit Loadout UI. It would also allow for small squads of XCOM soldiers vs numerous aliens. Also, perhaps units could spawn in waves? I'll consider making this mod myself. I'm curious if it's possible to make mods like this without Hex editing?

Is it possible to edit classes such as XGAIBehavior without using a Hex editor? Hex editing looks like quite a daunting task :wacko: , I'd ideally just like to make a few small changes and test them in the game. I'd appreciate any advice you can give :smile:

I've also been thinking about making the AI more challenging by setting all the alien units to patrol mode from the start of the game, since they mostly just do nothing until they spot the player's units. Did you have any luck in changing the AI's state to active? By the way, those .ini tweaks won't effect the battle AI on Classic/Impossible mode, since the MaxActiveAIUnitsis is already set to -1 for those. Also, the Lurk settings only effect how the UFO ships behave in the strategy part of the game.
