Lag Free Engram Unlocker

Description
Unlocks engrams by player level.or all at once. Ignores engram point requirements, but will consume the points so make sure you have enough if negative engram points on the user interface will bother you.
Config heading is [LFEngramUnlocker]
Set config option RequireLevels to false to ignore player level
Set config option ForceUnlockAll to true to unlock engrams that are normally gated behind either kills or accomplishments such as TEK.
Does NOT unlock engrams that are hidden, to keep admins in control of their servers.

Basic concept of how this works: (technical in nature so people can copy and make it their own, or just understand it)
When a server boots, it spawns a persistent actor, which binds to the spawning of characters to apply the persistent engram unlocking buff. It also periodically scans for any players missing the buff (random time between 500 and 720 seconds).

The buff, when applied, duplicates the engrams array into an array that can be manipulated, binds to the level up notification for characters and then begins looping through 10 engrams every 0.2 seconds to evaluate if it should unlock them, based on the ini options you\'ve configured. The loop continues using timers and get index/remove index until the array is empty, to avoid the lag frequently experienced with bulk engram unlocks. Each levelup will trigger copying the engrams array again, which should ensure all engrams are looped through. I know 10 engrams every 0.2 seconds seems slow, but that\'s still 3000 engrams in a minute and gives no lag whatsoever.

I've had 2 crashes now with this mod and the crashstack confirms it was this. Would also stop working after mindwipes were used if I didn't have the setting to learn all engrams regardless of level, can post the errors if needed for fixing

Great mod working good with current version of the game. I have a lot of pain in my hands from my 15+ years of gaming so this helps a lot! Working perfectly!

I never had this problem on my server, but I appreciate that you came back and fixed it because the mods I've put in add a lot of engrams, so there was a fair chance it could have happened.

Should be fixed in my update today. I hadn't been in the ADK since last June or July, sorry :P

Having an issue with this mod(Kinda major, but not really?) When hosting a server w/ it, if someone applies a level up and proceeds to die while the engrams are unlocking, server crashes(My guess is it's trying to apply an engram unlock, but can't, because there's no living person it's trying to apply it to?)

See discussion for what I did to get it to work (for the most part).

Can someone point me to where I active this mod? I have it installed but it either doesn't work or it isn't activated. I've searched for documentation but I can't find anything.

Can we have an INI option to slow it down further?
