A tough problem - Changing the number of character slots in MP

[cow99]

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?

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=
