Latest Update (2.2)

  • New Feature: Units spotted via Battle Scanners or Scanning Protocol should now display line of sight icons.
  • Fixed the line of sight icons flickering when quickly moving the mouse.
  • Fixed a vanilla game bug where dark VIPs were using the wrong indicator arrow icon, the friendly VIP icon (blue bust with XCOM logo), instead of the appropriate dark VIP icon (red alien bust). This is so we can use our own custom icons for spotted and squadsight status against a dark VIP. Happy assassinations, everyone!
  • Line of sight icons are now temporarily suppressed when the over the shoulder camera is active, since they are not representative of the unit's current location.
  • Turned down the suck on predictions involving peek flanking. This should resolve a few instances where the wrong icon was shown.


Installation
Just unzip to your mods folder. (Note that the folder inside the zip is called "Flank Preview" to maintain compatibility with a previous version of the mod)
