1.2: [ATTACH]5332[/ATTACH]

How to install:

- Install the file using Modding Tools in the launcher and exit the launcher (or manually unzip the archive into assets/mods/minibar-soldierrole).

- (On Unix-like systems, or if you know how to do it) Apply the patches from assets/mods/minibar-soldierrole/ to game files and possibly assets/mods/xce/ files.

- (On Windows) Go to assets/mods/minibar-soldierrole and run minibar-soldierrole.bat . It will patch necessary game files and create backups of them with the .minibar-soldierrolebackup extension.

Changelog:

  • Apply properly to X:CE 0.27.

FAQ:


  • The TU bars are sometimes mis-aligned.
    This is a bug in the progressbar drawing, not in the mod. It has been fixed in X:CE 0.25 . You can try to edit assets/scripts/combatguiexport(_large).lua and decrease widths of xxx_hpbar items by one as a workaround (and it will only mitigate the mis-alignment, not fix it completely).
  • Is this mod compatible with mod XYZ?
    The mod uses a text patch utility that is quite intelligent about merging changes even to files that have been modified. Unless something changes exactly the same items as this mod does (which is unlikely) , there should be no problem. Since other mods seem to work by replacing files as a whole rather than patching them, it is recommended to install this mod as the last one.
  • How do I update this mod if the game updates? Is this mod compatible with game version x.y?
    As said above, the mod is good at patching files even if they have changed slightly, so if the game updates files relevant for this mod and overwrites the changes, it should be enough to apply the patch again (and possibly revert it first). If there will be any problems, the patch utility will report problems while applying the changes (you may need to run the patching from a command shell to see the error messages). Generally, if anything else fails, resetting your game to its original state (e.g. verifying game files in Steam) and applying the patch again should work.

For some reason I have black spots where the role should be shown. Could it be because all roles I have are custom created?

Additional Info:

Using it on the most recent v1.7 gog install. Other mods would be Skitso's 2k Mappack, Rank Insignia & Femonauts but I doubt there is a conflict. Minibars is installed last so nothing should have overwritten it.
