[COMPILATION] Final Mod Pack (FMP)

[Ednew]

Hi People, I have FMP 3.2 (FMP=Finap Mod Pack) with OXCE 6.6.1. (this is the stablest version for me, tried 7.8, but results in crash...) My question is: WHAT EXACTLY are commendations/promotions good for? E.g. Purple Heart, Black Cross... The UFOpedia shows me when my soldiers earn these but it shows NOT what they actually GET after these. In a prev. version of X-Com Files, when I played in 2020, I think the soldiers also received some stat bonuses / boni   Is it the same in FMP, but I have to dig... maybe deeper into UFOpedia? Could You pls help me? Many thanks in advance. Happy New Year!

I have not touched FMP in ages, but as far as I recall, the original(ish) commendations either did nothing or gave tiny amounts of bravery. Not seeing any soldier bonuses in FMP or FMPE, either. So, probably nothing.

If so, then basically all the commendations are is the glamorous part of your soldiers' record. With soldier diaries, there's a giant amount of information stored for each soldier, which you can see and reminisce about. Find your deadliest Muton killer, best sharpshooter, the guy with 300 missions in Antarctica, etc. Not that any of this protects these celebrity grunts from eating hot flaming plasma next mission.

X-Com Files, Piratez and probably a few others indeed give you stat bonuses for getting commendations. Quite a lot, too.

Also, isn't FMP on 3.3 now? And if OXCE crashes on you, the better course of action is to report it in the OXCE subforum, because at least for FMPE, nothing guarantees 6.6 will even remain compatible with future versions of the mod.

I believe you are correct. Stats topped out at like 80TU's (could be boosted to 100 w/Muton armor). And firing maxed at like 120 I believe. But with StormTrooper armor could be brought to 140.
If you were lucky, a soldier might max out a point higher to round off the integer

It's not rounding, secondary stat gains converge to 0-2 per improvement. That one extra point is the 2.

OXCE 6.6.1 is ancient; more than 2 years old. I take no responsibility for anything.

I tried to load this mod up but it doesn't show up as a mod option.

Exactly the same problem here!  :'( What am I doing wrong?

Of course I am using OpenXCom Extended (version 7.8, still waiting an automatic update to 7.9).
I downloaded the mod from here: https://mod.io/g/openxcom/m/final-mod-pack.
I copied the "Final Mod Pack" folder to "mods" folder.
Then I launched a game, but I don't see the "Final Mod Pack" after I pressed "Mods" button...

Well, maybe the mod is so old, that it works only on non-extended openxcom?
Then I downloaded "Final Mod Pack Extended" from here: https://mod.io/g/openxcom/m/final-mod-pack-extended-addon.
Also copied the content to "mods" folder.
Launched a game, but still nothing new appeared in the list of mods.

The install tutorial (https://youtu.be/L1WUpX9n7gY?t=22m36s) is outdated. Modern interface is different. I think that this link should be removed.

Please, help!  :'(

is the "mods" folder the same one as shown in Options>Folders?

anything in the logs?

did you scroll to bottom?

[Vakrug]

Oh, I am an idiot not very observative person... 
Final mod pack is actually listed inside "Enemy Unknown" dropdown option! Who would have thought? XComFiles mod has it's separate dropdown option, and I expected the same from FMP.
Nevertheless, thanks for reply.

Also, OXCE updated literally just now. Could it be because of my previous post?

Without a save I can't say anything. This has never happened before.
