XCOM 2 - WOTC : Ini config files not working?

[JackSparrow1973]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows how the ini files work now

 

I've been trying to change DefaultClassData.ini in the config file however the changes no longer appear ingame. I haven't tested on a new game and in the original Xcom it worked just fine.

 

Is something else modifying the class abilities?

I'd recommend modifying this one instead:

My Games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame\Config\XComClassData.ini

After some testing...

 

I noticed the XComClassData file in My Games is actually a generated duplicate file created by DefaultClassData.ini in the game folder.

 

I tested it and it seems the changes actually work - AFTER starting a new campaign. Which makes it VERY difficult to test. I must have replayed the first 3 levels 5 times by now only to glitch out missing a bracket here, spelling mistake there...

 

Argh! Anyone know a way to force the game to apply the changes without starting a new campaign? Like in the original?

If you launch the game using the Community Mod Launcher and remove the -review command line argument that'll take you to the Developer start-up screen. You can (apparently) start a Tactical Quick Battle there. I believe you're then able to add in various troopers and enemies using the console. Not something I've used myself though.

 

Edit: Ah, Tactical Quick Launch. A video:

Thanks found another solution, it seems mods work just fine so I downloaded the "Progressive Less Anarchy mod" with the simple script to load the mod and moved the XcomClassData.ini file to the folder, works fine now!
