[WOTC] Crouch Lower

Mod of Peek from Concealment by Anisotropic that extends from only high cover to all covers. Now you can run up to low cover without being discovered!

Additionally, applies the "grace tiles" concept to outside of concealment so you can stay invisible to enemies while unconcealed and behind cover. I didn't like that I was activating pods while taking high cover, even if I was unconcealed.

Mod Config Menu settings (overwrites Peek From Concealment settings):

• CONCEALED GRACE TILES - When you are concealed, number of tiles allowed to step into an enemy's detection radius if your final position is behind cover. Default 2
  
• UNCONCEALED GRACE TILES - When you are not concealed, number of tiles allowed to step into an enemy's visible radius if your final position is behind cover (i.e. before activating the pod). If you get too close behind low cover, you'll still get discovered. Default 2
  
• AUTO HIDE DETECTION ZONES - Game does not allow modding enemy detection radius, we have to rely on flag indicators. This briefly turns off the red detection zones when you hover over safe parts. On by default
  
• Options to change the cover types or disable above features

My own UI Fix is implemented so no need to download the original author's.

Will produce "conflicts" in AML launcher with the required mods. Usually it won't cause issues in game, but a few people might have issues (due to rare config load order differences). if so, you will have to comment out these lines from XComEngine.ini from Gotcha Again (by putting a ; in front of them):
;+ModClassOverrides=(BaseGameClass="XComPathingPawn", ModClass="XComPathingPawn_GA")
;+ModClassOverrides=(BaseGameClass="UIUnitFlagManager", ModClass="UIUnitFlagManager_GA")
if you uninstall this mod, uncomment those lines.


Additional Improvements
-better detection than base game for multi tile units
-removed overwatch warnings if unit has shadowstep (Gotcha Again)
-improved cover checks: less than 45 degree cover angles now require adjacent cover in the enemy direction (disable-able)
-prevented hiding in low cover if you have height disadvantage
-added correct pod activation indicators
-changed default grace tiles from 3 to 2
-rewrote ui code so you dont need peek ui fix mod anymore. (It's more efficient and routes all detection checks to one function, which means that the flags are 100% accurate and what you see is what you get)
