[WOTC] Just For The Challenge: Alien Rulers

Description
OVERVIEW
Just for the Challenge: Alien Rulers disables all DLC items from the Alien Rulers DLC.

As the name suggests, this mod is for players who want the DLC just for the challenge of killing the Rulers but without any of the power creep items.

Hunter Weapons
The Locator Beacon POI will not grant you the Hunter Weapons. Instead it will reward you with supplies for your scanning time.

Also, Experimental Weapons research and Hunter Weapons' schematics will be disabled so you won't be able to build them.

Alien Rulers Armors
Alien Rulers will no longer drop special corpses so you won't be able to perform their autopsy. Just for safety, I also disabled the research projects.

As an alternative reward for your accomplishment, each Ruler will now drop:
  • 1x common corpse of their species
  • 1x Elerium Core
  • 1x random Superior Weapon Upgrade
  • 1x random Superior PCS

BUG
Minor cosmetic bug: with DLC mission enabled, the axe, the pistol and the rifle will appear in the Hunter's Lodge as if you had them.

I would need to override an important class to get rid of this. A suggested companion mod will hide this cosmetic issue.

COMPANION MODS
I recommend the following mods:

COMPATIBILITY
This mod overrides XComGameState_PointOfInterestHunterWeapons.

Most features should work mid campaign but it is obviously meant for new campaigns.

CREDITS
I'd like to thank dotvhs for making the mod thumbnail.

@TheDuke37 Or, and hear me out. You move along and don't use the mod?

Or, and hear me out. You just don't use the rewards?

Thanks. On that note, do you know how to disable the panic effect the ruler armors have? I love their looks but I hate the fact that the panic aliens because of how cheap it feels.

@Syro System deleting everything in ModFolder/config/XComGameCore should do the trick!

Is it possible to use this mod to disable only the weapons but still be able to collect the unique corpses and build the ruler armors?
