Note that it is possible to increase squad size in bottom of the mod and that it will override skyranger_capacity value.

Also note that it is currently NOT possible to select WHO will be soldier 7+ if squadsize is increased.

Finally note that this code is currently highly experimental and that some changes to getcapacity function for EW with regards to blue shirts may be negatively effected. I have really no idea... As I have not even played the HQ Assault Mission where blue shirts are supposed to assist.

How do I install this on toolboks?

By copy&paste to notepad and save as squadsize011.txt in toolboks custom mods folder and then using the toolboks custom mods tab...

Just a note on skyranger capacity, if I make it any number over 12, the game hangs after selecting a continent.

NUM_STARTING_SOLDIERS=12 <-- The problem

[Pixeh]

I wonder if there is any way to restrict any of the additional squad slots for a specific class, like a seventh squad slot but for SHIV only.

It has been briefly discussed in the past but I don't think anyone ever got around to implementing it.

Maybe in a future version.

NUM_STARTING_SOLDIERS=12 <-- The problem

Except my number for that is set to 100 :ermm:

That's seems weird.

I guess it is possible that something is changed in Enemy Within that breaks the game for more than 12 soldiers :(

Do you have a save game with more than 12 soldiers present in barracks that you can use for testing, just to make extra extra sure it is really not lack of soldiers?

[Vengashii]

Yes I do. What do I need to do with it? I thought changing the .exe wouldn't work unless with a new game.
