Scaling Skulljack Chance WOTC

Description
Changes the normal Skulljack hit chance (not the hacking chance) to scale based on the attacking soldier's Aim stat.

Just a quick and clean edit to skulljack melee attack hit chances. Requested by users of the WOTC Grimy's Loot Mod - PCS Expansion.

This mod was made for WOTC in the WOTC Modbuddy. It may work with the legacy game (pre-WOTC) due to how it was implemented, but if it doesn't, I won't be providing a non-WOTC version.

INI Values
SSC_BASE_CHANCE
Modifies the minimum chance to hit with the skulljack melee attack
Default: 60

SSC_AIM_DIVISOR
The number to divide the soldier's Aim by to get the scaling bonus. For example, if the soldier's Aim is 60, and SSC_AIM_DIVISOR is 3, the bonus to hit from Aim will be 20. Lower numbers provide a higher bonus.
Default: 3

Known Issues
None

Compatibility
Modifies the skulljack and skullmine abilities' ToHitCalc post-creation, so this will be compatible with everything that doesn't modify those two lines of code.

Just finished a campaign with about 280 mods, this one included, and had no major issues! Thanks for putting this up.

Thanks, very useful. I set it up like this so my rookies will have 75% while my colonel rangers & specialists will have 90% (and more with Soldier Development mod).

SSC_BASE_CHANCE=10
SSC_AIM_DIVISOR=1

I'm even considering giving a skulljack to my snipers now, as a last resort "get off my lawn (i.e. rooftop)" measure. Eating the feedback damage might be preferable to getting "bonked" by a Lancer x)

Is this safe to add mid campaign? I just found this mod and realized how much I needed it :)

@pauloel7 Yes. It's listed in the game as an objective item and thus blocks concealment. Has nothing to do with this mod. Would be a different mod to include that fix.

My question relates to a vanila bug, doesn't it? Figured form fall'17 fix notes...

Use http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1134322341 to modify tags and help with uploading. It's 1000x better than the ModBuddy uploader.

The mod preview image is a jpg in ther root folder of your mod that's called ModPreview.jpg. All other images are set using the Owner Controls on the right side of the mod page.
