Essential Mods:

Built-in Mod Config Menu Legacy

Original version:

WotC：

This is the "Chosen One (WotC)" version. If you need the original version, please download this:

The basic idea is that all the slots are arranged on some kind of ellipse that you can roll (in any direction) when you have more than 6 soldiers to send.

feature:

UI for more than 6 soldiers. How many? No limits!

The built-in overview is more intuitive!

More info: PCS', Health, Abilities (shows your skills), Stats, Armor, Primary, Support, Pockets...

Bad math and 3000 lines of code!

100% controller compatible!

Can be configured using the Mod Config menu or used standalone!

Includes squad size settings!

Does not include:

Fixed spawn point when you use more than 9 soldiers. See recommended mods below.

Known issues:

The armory screen, accessible from the squad select screen, has a hotlink to Geoscape. Don't click on it. This may cause the game to lock up. This is a problem I can't easily solve.

How do I increase my squad size?

It has a built-in way to select squad size via MCM or local configuration files.

If the built-in way of modifying group size breaks with your settings, you can disable it in XComGame.ini

My personal take on a vanilla Squad Select Screen! Completely built from the ground up!

The very basic idea is that all slots are arranged on some kind of ellipse and you can scroll (infinitely in either direction) when you have more than 6 soldiers to send.

Features:

User Interface for more than 6 soldiers. How many? There's no limit!

More intuitive with built-in overview!

Bad Math and 3000 lines of code!

100% controller compatible!

Configurable with Mod Config Menu, but also standalone!

Includes a squad size setting!

Not included:

A fix for spawn points when you use more than 9 soldiers. See recommended mods below.

Known Issues:

Armory Screens reachable from the Squad Select Screen have a Hotlink to Geoscape. DO NOT CLICK IT. IT CAN CAUSE THE GAME TO LOCK UP FROM AVENGER DEFENSE. This is something I can't easily fix.

THE same applies to a Training Center button. It is not supposed to appear.

How do I increase my Squad Size?

It has a built-in way of choosing the squad size, either via MCM or via the local config file.

If the built-in way of modifying squad size breaks with your setup, you can disable it in XComGame.ini

Recommended Mods:

Mod Config Menu, if you want to have a UI for config.

FAQ:

How do I increase my Squad Size?

See above.

Why does this not include a Spawn Point fix?

I wanted to make it as compatible as possible. Since other mods are addressing this issue, I didn't add it.

I don't have MCM. How do I configure the mod?

Start the game once. It will create a file: "C:/Users/%USERNAME%/Documents/My Games/XCOM2 War of the Chosen/XComGame/Config/XComrobojumperSquadSelect_NullConfig.ini". There you can adjust the same values exposed to MCM.

DerBK for ABA2, because the mod is balanced around 6-8 soldiers. Without it, this mod wouldn't exist!
