About this mod Machine translation

Allows you to rename any mind-controlled or hacked enemies during a mission. Works with aliens, robots, and even turrets.

Why should you name your pet? Well, that's more fun than calling your dog 'dog'. Of course, it usually doesn't last long, but Psi Operative with Domination can make them part of the family, so make them feel welcome.

If you want to see your pet's name on the debrief screen when it earns a reward, unfortunately you'll still see its template name. However, my other mod Mission Award Variety does support your custom names, so grab it if you want your pet to go down in history!

Known issues:

  • Once your mind control or hack wears off, your pet will go back to his original "name", which is kind of lame, but I haven't figured out how to keep it without going above and beyond the course.
  • If your pet is the last unit in the team and you try to select another unit, its name will temporarily revert to the old unit, but will return next round (if it is still under your control).

compatibility:

Doesn't override any classes, so it should work with most mods. Specifically, I've tested it using popular mods that modify unit flags:

Digital Health Display - Work

Display health values ​​- work

Additional icons - some work; the name in the lower left corner is accurate, but the unit logo name is still the template name

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
