Custom Number of Tactics Slots

Custom Number of Tactics Slots (CNTS)

I feel that the game's default number of tactics slots at all levels is woefully inadequate at higher difficulty settings, and it only gets worse if you use custom difficulty mods. The Advanced Tactics mod is a huge help for enabling more options to use in your tactics commands, but you are still limited by the lack of slots to implement them. The purpose of this mod is to reduce the amount of micromanagement required by providing players as many tactics slots as they need to automate even the most complex of tactics for their characters by increasing the games inherent limitation of 50 tactics slots. I have provided balanced versions that scale your number of slots based on level and the Combat Tactics skills as well as versions that will just give you X number of slots immediately.

Common problems:

Problem - Party members standing around doing nothing in battle unless manually directed, not following tactics.

Possible Issue 1 - You put more tactics slots in the exptable (also add in any from the combat tactics skills to the total) than the hardcoded limit in the scripts. This causes the tactics system to break for any character over the limit and no tactics will work.

Solution 1 - Reduce the tactics slots given in the exptable, or increase the limit in the script using the ini file in the later versions.

Possible Issue 2 - Something is preventing my scripts from running (mod conflict, or game version issue) so the games default tactics slot limit of 50 is in force any if you have more slots than that you trigger the issue and the tactics system totally breaks.

Solution 2 - Remove any conflicting mods and/or follow the DAO ultimate edition install instructions as needed.

Problem - Tactics slots keep getting blanked out.

Issue - Something is preventing my scripts from running (mod conflict, or game version issue) so the game resets to default tactics slow limit then my mod puts it back to the modded limit afterwards, and you lose anything in the slots that were removed then re-added by my mod.

Solution - Remove any conflicting mods and/or follow the DAO ultimate edition install instructions as needed.

See the optional files for installation instructions for the game versions (ultimate edition, and possibly some others) that break the default mod install method.

DAO mod manager is the only supported DAZIP installation method!

Make sure you only have one exptable in the override directory at a time (other mods, particularly Combat Tweaks, also use a custom exptable so it will need to be deleted). If you want parts of both you'll have to manually merge them into a single file, which is just
