Pistols Get PistolStandardShot

This mod is for INI editors (modders). Use it as a prerequisite to your own INI compilation. I made it for WOTC, but its technically compatible with any XCOM 2 version, but I will only support WOTC configurations.

-= USAGE=-
It allows you to:

- Add Pistols to Rookies, or any other basic (custom) class without giving the ability via Ranking.
- Add Pistols to Templars without giving them the ability to use it manually. Yes, your Templar can use a Shadowkeeper, or the Chosen Pistol.

In short, any class not competent with a pistol that gets equipped one becomes instantly competent. This is how it should have always been from day 1. It's how Autopistols work in WOTC.

-= REQUIREMENTS =-
Once you install this mod, your mod should also remove PistolStandardShot from the Sniper Class ranks, as it is no longer required and will lead to duplication. The ability is now weapon dependant. This is in DefaultClassData.INI, replace it with something more fun like BloodTrail or whatever you want. Put ReturnFire there, and put something else above. Your choice.

You will need to edit the 3 loadouts for Rookies in DefaultGameData. Your new lines should look like this, and should replace the loadouts (dont add this, overwrite).

Loadouts=(LoadoutName="RookieSoldier", Items[0]=(Item="KevlarArmor"), Items[1]=(Item="AssaultRifle_CV"), Items[2]=(Item="FragGrenade"), Items[3]=(Item="FragGrenade"), Items[4]=(Item="Pistol_CV"))
Loadouts=(LoadoutName="RookieSoldierM2", Items[0]=(Item="KevlarArmor"), Items[1]=(Item="AssaultRifle_MG"), Items[2]=(Item="FragGrenade"), Items[3]=(Item="FragGrenade"), Items[4]=(Item="Pistol_MG"))
Loadouts=(LoadoutName="RookieSoldierM3", Items[0]=(Item="KevlarArmor"), Items[1]=(Item="AssaultRifle_BM"), Items[2]=(Item="FragGrenade"), Items[3]=(Item="FragGrenade"), Items[4]=(Item="Pistol_BM"))

Any fresh recruit now comes with a pistol by default.

Not supported (as in I cant help you more than whats written here), they wont be able to use it properly anyway via AI. They might have it though, and you might be able to make use of it if you control them. And if you dont, the gun looks cool anyway. I dont use this, but heres how to do it.

The loadout for Rebels:

Loadouts=(LoadoutName="CivilianMilitiaLoadout", Items[0]=(Item="MilitiaRifle_CV"), Items[1]=(Item="Pistol_CV"))
Loadouts=(LoadoutName="CivilianMilitiaLoadoutM2", Items[0]=(Item="MilitiaRifle_MG"), Items[1]=(Item="Pistol_MG"))
Loadouts=(LoadoutName="CivilianMilitiaLoadoutM3", Items[0]=(Item="MilitiaRifle_BM"), Items[1]=(Item="Pistol_BM"))

You will need to mod rookies in the DefaultClassData file.

bNoSecondaryWeapon=false
AllowedWeapons=(SlotType=eInvSlot_SecondaryWeapon, WeaponType="pistol")

Note that a Rookie that ranks up doesnt get a pistol and thus loses all knowledge how to use it, so the abilities wont linger and pollute your ability bar. It's great. Also, if you dont perform this step, your secondary weapon box will be locked or not appear at all.

Templars are easier. Just add this and it works out of the box in DefaultClassData.
AllowedWeapons=(SlotType=eInvSlot_SecondaryWeapon, WeaponType="pistol")

-= CUSTOM MOD PISTOLS =-
V2.0 supports feeding this mod an array of pistols that should be updated. Use this mod's CONFIG file and update it.


-= LIMITATIONS =-
AUTOPISTOL:
You cant give Autopistols to anyone else, because it causes animation problems. Sorry.
If you're curious, the bug is that when firing, the unit will hold it's main weapon AND the autopistol at the same time and it looks awful.

REAPERS:
The Claymore is a Secondary weapon, you cant give pistols to Reapers. I wanted too also, i feel your pain.

NEW GAME ONLY:
You really shouldnt use this in the middle of a campaign. Once you start a campaign with this mod, if you remove this mod your soldiers will NOT suddenly remember how to use a pistol, its gone.

BALANCE ISSUES:
This is entirely up to you to decide if a Templar with a Shadowkeeper or Chosen Pistol is overpowered (i wouldnt think so). I also think Rookies with Pistols is a good help for super early game, and you might consider it cheating.

-= FINAL NOTE =-
It took longer to write this description than to code the actual mod. Hope you enjoy the tutorial.
