[WOTC] LOS Preview Ability

Description
Adds an ability to all soldiers to preview LOS range by tiles, even beyond movement range.

This lets you measure LOS edge more easily and provides LOS indicator against allied units and civilians.

Now also have an ability to preview the movement range of enemies.

Also added ability to preview carry-able bodies, no more guessing where your downed soldiers are.

Known Issues:
- Only tiles of the same elevation + lowest elevation checks whether LOS is blocked, this is due to performance constraints (< 10 fps if all elevations are checked), however units of all elevations are still checked and highlighted if visible. (Uses same system as existing LOS checks, so it may have a small chance to lie)
- It has to take a spot on the ability bar, originally I plan to let it use the command bar at the top right, but there's a lot of bugs when attempting to add an ability there (which explains why overwatch/evac all use the bottomn ability bar and the command range button from the LWS mod places its button outside of the bar)

TODO:
- Dynamically change radius based on LOS of source (currently is fixed to same range as default LOS)
- Highlight objectives

You may disable/enable this mod any time, but the button will not be added until you start a tactical mission with the mod active.

Problems? Follow this guide first! it may solve your problems (applies to all mods) http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=625230005

Compability Info:

Not sure if it's possible to be fixed but if you're previewing movement or bodies, you can switch between targets with tab but you can't go back with shift.

for those who only want the corpse location and not the other features.
Inside the config file, will be as below. Self explanatory

+SHOW_BODY_PREVIEW=true
+SHOW_MOVE_PREVIEW=false
+SHOW_LOS_PREVIEW=false

thanks to the Modders for this helpful tool

Get the "Remove Missing Mods" mod to unbind mods from your save

I download this to try it and didnt like it, so I disabled it, and now my save is saying it requires it and doesn't work at all properly. :( Might even have to go all the way back to a save before I installed it, which was miday through the last mission. :(

You can place them at the end. Just need to open up the ini file in the mod and set them to like 2100, 2150 and 2250

My one big gripe is that these are ability buttons. Otherwise a great mod!

It would be great if you could at least place the abilities at the end. Otherwise, good mod!

It's in this mod's Config folder.
<Steam>\SteamApps\workshop\content\268500\1123163799\Config

You can find a mod's unique ID from its URL.

The file XComLOSPreview.ini doesn't seem to exist on my config folder. Is there anywhere else I can take a look?
