X - Really Useful Ideological Roles

The mod allows you to use the skills of ideology specialists from the "Ideology" DLC once a day. All skills, all specialists.

The mod also removes restrictions on "non-core" jobs for specialists (as in the "Capable Specialists" mod). Role descriptions are also changed - I removed all references (that I found) where it says that specialists will refuse to do something (unfortunately, only in English, the game refuses to accept updated translations - translations built into the game were stronger). Shooting masters are able to fight hand-to-hand, and melee masters are able to use firearms.

The job patch is universal. It will work for all roles added by other mods. With patches for shooting and melee are a bit more complicated - they need to be written for each specific specialist. If you have the "Vanilla Factions Expanded - Pirates" mod installed, the pirate captain will also fight hand-to-hand. I'm not aware of any other mods that have roles with restrictions on shooting and melee combat (if you know of one, please write me and I'll add support for it).

The patch for skill application rollback time (up to 1 time per day) applies only to vanilla roles. I could have made it universal (like the patch for jobs) and it would have worked fine (tests passed without errors), but there was no point. Generally, the roles added by mods have adequate time specified as it is. Sometimes it's even only a few hours (that is, a universal patch would have messed them up), and if it's more than a day, it seems justified. Minor edits were made only in "Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Memes and Structures" (adjusted the rollback time for applying skills in some specialists, removed references to refusal to work in a couple of specialists). In other mods I know of (for example, "Alpha Memes") nothing needs to be corrected. But if there is a request (and you can justify that the rollback time is too high/low) I will add support for any mod (it's a matter of a few minutes).

Mod can be safely added and removed at any time.
