Soldier PSI strength & Skill.
« on: January 24, 2025, 09:03:55 am »
When I start a new game it always displays my soldiers PSI strength & skill right off the bat which I don't want.  Can someone tell me which option or mod controls that?  I've tried turning off "PSI training at any time", "PSI Strength Evaluation" and "PSI Strength Improvement" as I'd rather not know my soldiers PSI stats until I get the PSI-lab.

Or is displaying all stats standard?
Thanks.

Please upload a saved game where we can see this.

And a screenshot showing the issue, just in case.

Ok, hope I'm doing this right...

Also I just want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding as in the old Vanilla Xcom you never saw your soldiers PSI strength or skill stats until you had the PSI-lab.  Is Open Xcom the same, or are all soldier stats visible right from the beginning?

I tried Alt+print screen to take a screen shot, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks.

I even tried just resetting OpenXcom to it default config, started a new game, and it's still showing my soldiers PSI Strength and Skill right off the bat.

I did adjust the Soldiers starting stats, could that be causing it?

Ok, I altered the values and the problem disappeared. 
Thanks very much.

Just out of curiosity what's the max value that will work?

You cannot change the starting psi skill in the save file.
Any change will break it.

Other attributes (including psi strength) you can change.

Thanks Meridian.

Being able to tweak your soldiers starting values is awesome.  I mean it could be done in vanilla Xcom, but it was a pain as you needed a hex editor.
