Could you make a pseudorandom version like the one normally implemented in EW?

The EW system first gives you 1 of each class.

After that it creates a deck of 16 cards, 4 of each class. Discards 3 of them, and shuffles that deck of 13 cards.

And those 13 cards make up your first 13 promotions.

Just asking because my first playthrough with your mod, I got like 3 snipers and 1 assault after my first mission.

Then like 4 more snipers after I promoted 8 rookies in march.

I think that would pretty much defeat the purpose of the mod, and you already have the possibility to modify the EW standard "deck of cards", like for example 1 card each and only 1 random card removed, via ini-file.

But just to make sure: You did recognize that the upper values represent probabilities and the bottom values max number of each class?

If all classes had 25% chance each and you got 7 snipers out of a total of 8 it sounds like the probabilities are biased somehow and I probably need to run some more tests to verify that the random part of the mod is still working as it should.

Could you make a pseudorandom version like the one normally implemented in EW?

The EW system first gives you 1 of each class.

After that it creates a deck of 16 cards, 4 of each class. Discards 3 of them, and shuffles that deck of 13 cards.

And those 13 cards make up your first 13 promotions.

Just asking because my first playthrough with your mod, I got like 3 snipers and 1 assault after my first mission.

Then like 4 more snipers after I promoted 8 rookies in march.

I've just seen something that seems to indicate that there's something fishy going on with class assignment on vanilla EW, probably the latest patches broke something. Someone put a post on the 2K forums regarding getting only Snipers a couple of days ago. Then today, I got the first 4 promotions each of each class, but then the next 5 soldiers were all Supports.

We were seeing that in Long War and thinking it was something we did, but the code looked like it should be working. But no evidence the patches messed with this part of the code.

I've been trying to adjust class probability to my likings and finally got what I wanted. :smile: I made CreateClassWaitingList function to count for existing classes in barracks and adjust probability accordingly, so the more of the class X you have, the less probably you can get it for the next promotion. Uploaded it to "Interface and Gameplay Tweaks" mod.

For anyone interested how it works:

private final function CreateClassWaitingList()
{
    local XGStrategySoldier I;
    local int J[5];

    J[0] = 0;
    J[1] = 0;
    J[2] = 0;
    J[3] = 0;
    J[4] = 1;
    foreach m_arrSoldiers(I,)
    {
        if(INT(I.GetClass()) > 0 && INT(I.GetClass()) < 5)
        {
            ++ J[INT(I.GetClass()) - 1];
            ++ J[4];
        }
    }    
    m_arrClassWaitingList.Length = 0;
    m_arrClassWaitingList.Add(4);
    m_arrClassWaitingList[0] = BYTE(J[4] - J[0] + 0);
    m_arrClassWaitingList[1] = BYTE(INT(m_arrClassWaitingList[0]) + J[4] - J[1] + 0);
    m_arrClassWaitingList[2] = BYTE(INT(m_arrClassWaitingList[1]) + J[4] - J[2] + 0);
    m_arrClassWaitingList[3] = BYTE(INT(m_arrClassWaitingList[2]) + J[4] - J[3] + 0);
    return;
}

+0 reserves the space for tweaking probabilities.

function XComGame.XGTacticalGameCoreData.ESoldierClass PickAClass()
{
    local XComGame.XGTacticalGameCoreData.ESoldierClass chosenClass;
    local int I;

    chosenClass = NeverGiven();
    if(INT(chosenClass) != INT(0))
    {
        return chosenClass;
    }
    CreateClassWaitingList();
    I = Rand(INT(m_arrClassWaitingList[3]));
    if (I < INT(m_arrClassWaitingList[0]))
        return 1;                           // eSC_Sniper
    if (I < INT(m_arrClassWaitingList[1]))
        return 2;                           // eSC_HeavyWeapons
    if (I < INT(m_arrClassWaitingList[2]))
        return 3;                           // eSC_Support
    if (I < INT(m_arrClassWaitingList[3]))
        return 4;                           // eSC_Assault
    return 0;
}
