Cost Based Ability Colors

WOTC port by shiremct:
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1289686596

If you sometimes simply forget to use single-AP abilities like aid protocol, quickdraw or reload before shooting, this mod is for you.
It changes the default ability icon colors to reflect their action point cost, so you can see in a glance which actions will end your turn and which won't.

Green = free action
Blue = using ability will not end unit's turn (like a "blue move")
Yellow = using ability will end unit's turn (like a "yellow move")

I haven't tested this mod for DLC abilities because I don't have the DLC and I'm not planning to buy it (yet).
If you are getting wrong colors, feel free to post the corresponding ini override settings, so I can put them here or into the mod's default config. The same also applies for any other mod adding abilities.

If you have problems distinguishing colors, you can change them here: [Steam]/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/651306416/Config/XComCostBasedAbilityColors.ini
People with red-green-blindness seem to have problems to distinguish green from yellow, so you can set the free action color to white by changing AbilityCostColor_FreeAction="ffffff".

Incompatible Mods:
Free Reload (actually this mod is now unnecessary, because my mod contains the same functionality, see the screenshots)
