oracle1990 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hey so quick question about female soldiers in game. I (and I expect I'm not alone) would prefer not to have female soldiers forced upon me. Will there be a way to turn this option off? Yes, it is an option: Do not play the game! Yes, I get a litle pissed when I see comments like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oktober Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Yes, it is an option: Do not play the game! Thanks for being helpful! Not really sure why my preferences for play have anything to do with your blood-pressure rising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Try opening up soldiernamesfemale.xml in the assets folder and look at the tags labelled "chance=#" and change those numbers to 0. That might work the way you want it to. To make it easier you could maybe just delete or rename that file and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 To make it easier you could maybe just delete or rename that file and see how it goes. There was a comment where someone deleted the file and it appears to have just made females invisible in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 There was a comment where someone deleted the file and it appears to have just made females invisible in the game. Only post I saw related to that said 'some stuff from the assets folder' and didn't mention the soldier name files specifically. I couldn't tell what had been deleted so assumed it was animation related as it was the animations that were affected. Won't know unless someone tries it and posts back about the effects.

Oktober Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Ah ha ha ha okay so this is kind of fun! I'm in the wrong folder, looks like. I messed around with that soldiernamesfemale folder and I only succeeded in limiting how many names they have to choose from! Half my team is still missing their Y-chromosomes. I just need to find the right folder, I think...nothing is standing out, yet, though. Edited June 19, 2012 by Oktober Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oktober Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hmm. There's some spoilers in this stuff. Whoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oktober Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Won't know unless someone tries it and posts back about the effects. Okay so I've been messing around in the assets folder for a while, now. Deleting stuff from the soldierimagesfemale folder renders them invisible. Changing the "chance=#" to in the soldiernamesfemale folder breaks the game. Setting them all to 1 doesn't have an impact on the regularity with which female soldiers are assigned to the team. It just gives them a very small pool of names from which to choose. I thought I was on to something with the gameconfig folder, but despite the fact that it has a "SOLDIER GENERATION VARIABLES" section, the only thing under that heading is the soldiers' age-range. There's a way to modify the cost to recruit soldiers in there, so I may be able to just cheat my way around the issue by dismissing female soldiers and just hiring tons of them on the cheap until I have enough male soldiers to fill out my ranks. I'm needing to uninstall and re-install, though. All my monkeying around has rendered the whole thing pretty unstable. I can't shake the feeling that it's somewhere in there and I'm just not finding it. I dunno where else to look, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkArk Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I have to wonder Oktober, why are you posting this in the female mod section, it seems horribly off topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Yeah this seems to be something tht fits under an "anti-female mod" topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oktober Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Well seeing as how female soldiers are now part of the game, wouldn't messing with how they're implemented be a "female mod?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 quite possibly but its a different modification from what the topic is about and you are essentially hijacking the thread. It would be more considerate of you to make a new thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenonaut Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Oktober, if you read back a few page, someone already posted the way to have an all male or all female team. Just follow those instructions. Original x-com had both, I am a fan of the original and so adding female troops makes perfect sense. Moving on.

Chris Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 There's a command in gameconfig.xml that controls the % chance of female soldiers spawning. Just set it 0% if you want no women and 100% if you want all women. Simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Sorry Chris that's too easy. It needs to be just a little more complicated otherwise it just doesn't seem worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schneckk Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hm, this looks very interesting, how it goes? I really hope it is not abandoned, I like this style more than in game womans.

ElTee Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 There's a command in gameconfig.xml that controls the % chance of female soldiers spawning. Just set it 0% if you want no women and 100% if you want all women. Simple. You sure about that? I set it to 100, but when I started a new game, a 'David Cook' was there.

Khall Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I think he's a custom soldier, I seem to remember also getting a David Cook. Maybe the command doesn't take custom soldiers into account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElTee Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Well, that'd be a shame if I wanted to play an all-female game but I get 60-80 male soldiers, since chances are most of the people who bought that kickstarter-tier were male.

Khall Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 There's another command in the gameconfig that sets the % of custom soldiers spawning, so that would probably solve it. It's set to 5% by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
