ToolBoks Custom Mod - Display Soldiers' XP During Tactical Mission

[bokauk]

It's been mentioned to me that people are interested in implementing the "Display XP" feature of ToolBoks, for use in other mods.

Rather than re-invent the wheel when the work has already been done, I'm happy to share how I did it. It's no big secret, I'm just useless when it comes to documenting things as I find them and then quickly move on to the next thing that interests me :smile:

I do however, admire those that take the time to document their findings and write up helpful articles, especially the efforts of Amineri, dubiousintent and others :smile:

The file and location of interest for the XP mod is:
XComGame > UIUnitGermanMode > UpdateHeader

Line 33

Change this:

AS_SetSoldierInformation(m_kUnit.SafeGetCharacterFullName(), m_kUnit.SafeGetCharacterNickname(), class'UIUtilities'.static.GetClassLabel(m_kUnit.GetSoldierClass(), kCharacterSoldier.m_kChar.bHasPsiGift), class'UIUtilities'.static.GetRankLabel(kCharacterSoldier.m_kSoldier.iRank), kCharacterSoldier.LeveledUp());

To this:

AS_SetSoldierInformation(m_kUnit.SafeGetCharacterFullName(), (((("XP: " $ string(kCharacterSoldier.GetXP())) $ " / ") $ string(XComGameReplicationInfo(class'Engine'.static.GetCurrentWorldInfo().GRI).m_kGameCore.GetXPRequired(kCharacterSoldier.m_kSoldier.iRank + 1))) $ " ") $ m_kUnit.SafeGetCharacterNickname(), class'UIUtilities'.static.GetClassLabel(m_kUnit.GetSoldierClass(), kCharacterSoldier.m_kChar.bHasPsiGift), class'UIUtilities'.static.GetRankLabel(kCharacterSoldier.m_kSoldier.iRank), kCharacterSoldier.LeveledUp());

You'll need to make room for all those extra bytes, so I removed the "else" part of the first "if" statement, which relates to multiplayer.

The if/jump addresses will be put out, so they will have to be updated.

Here's a ToolBoks Custom Mod so you can easily use the bytecode for your own mods :smile:

Hope this helps and saves people some time :smile:

Always happy to help if I can, you only need to ask, although I'm a bit out of touch with any recent breakthroughs.

I don't frequent this forum as much as I used to, so any other questions about ToolBoks and the features, it's probably best to catch me in the ToolBoks thread or send me a PM :smile:

[johnnylump]

Thanks, bokuak!

[Neonin]

The race is on to duplicate this, modify it into displaying Mobility (the Holy Grail itself) or both... ;)

[johnnylump]

Well, ideally we'll be able to get both XP and mobility on the character card in the Strategy Game, where it would be most useful -- bokuak's method has helped me figure out where to do that ... now it's just figuring out how to pass the right data to the actionscript.
