Perk Pack - A Better Barracks (WOTC)

A pack of 25 (for now) perks used by some of the classes in DerBK's A Better Barracks mod, plus some miscellaneous ones of my own.

Click here for a list of perks and what they do.[docs.google.com]

I created this mod with the intention of eventually using it with LWOTC, which currently conflicts hard with ABB and many other overhaul mods, but functionally the perks will work with whatever. These perks can be used to mess with existing vanilla or mod classes via ClassData.ini files (or even to make a brand new class). On its own with no edits, this mod will not do anything.

All perks have been tested to ensure they are displaying properly and won't break the game. Almost all of them have been tested for functionality as well (only Interrogator and Trial By Fire need that part confirmed as of right now). Not all of the perks show up in the HUD or when viewing soldier info with F1, but they all will show in the armory.

While I will do my best to address bugs (with whatever help I can get), I will not be addressing balance issues in this release, as I wanted to stick true to the source material.

You need Ketaros 2D Package and Chimera Squad Ability icons otherwise some abilities will be missing icons. If you have Mitzruti's Perk Pack, you don't need Chimera Squad Ability icons (although having both does no harm other than bloat).

Due to what this mod does, running it alongside A Better Barracks is redundant and potentially disastrous. There are no other conflicts that I know of.

- Anatomy won't show the armor piercing on attack previews, but it will function properly when making the attack.
- Tear Down doesn't show a preview of affected tiles like Remote Start does. It works this way in ABB as well.
- The code is likely full of redundant stuff. This is because I don't know how to code. The best thing I can suggest is to just not think about it.

- Add more perks, once I get past the problems I had with getting them to work.
- Maybe add some more config options. Boundir's Ability Editor already offers quite a bit of control, but if you need something not already handled by those, let me know.

- DerBK for making A Better Barracks (which I copy and pasted copious code from) as well as for allowing folks to use it for their own mods, and answering some of my questions.
- shiremct for making Proficiency Classes, which I grabbed some code from for the Trained Sniper ability.
- bstar for getting me started with the mod tools and answering some more of my questions.

(If I need to credit anyone else, let me know and I will do so ASAP.)
