[WOTC] Shaken Scars are Back!

This is the War of the Chosen version, the non-WotC compatible version is here:
[Non-WOTC] Shaken Scars are Back!


Yes, the little feature which slowly turned the naive rookies you started the game with into grizzled looking veterans by the end is back. See the Unfortunate Rk. Flores above, sporting one of the vicous scars from the Alien Hunters DLC after her brutal first mission.
Sadly, shaken soldiers gaining a random scar (if they weren't already scarred) disappeared with the patch which accompanied the release of "Anarchy's Children".
This loss was a bug not a conscious designed choice by Firaxis btw, since the code was still in place, but deffective due to a change elsewhere. In fact with War of the Chosen, they specifically still do a shaken check, even though "shaken" no longer exists in WotC, simply for the random scar! Still didn't fix the bug though. This is not linked at all to the new "shaken" status linked to the fatigue system. To the end user, it means some, but not all the time when a solider is gravely wounded.

The XComShakenScars.ini file can be edited to makes scars more frequent if preferred. Comments included in the file.

Special Thanks to the lovely Guadalupe FLores, who due to a fortuitously timed save became the repeated "crash test dummy" while working on this mod.

  • Cinematic Rapid Fire, which gives Rapid Fire and Chain Shot their cinematic camera back which was removed in the patch ages ago. Also gives the Reaper Banish ability the same improved look.
    
  • Variant Power Armour Arms, which unlocks some variant Wraith and Warden armour arms parts which were hidden by Firaxis.
    
  • Less Overwatch Lock Ups!, which attempts to fix the visualization lockups during complex Overwatch/Reaction fire situations.
    
  • Better Armory Item Stats, which tweaks the stats display of weapons, utility items and upgrades in the Armoury, including displaying Critical Damage, Armor Pierce and Shred for all appropriate weapons.
