Customizable Ascension Cap (4.0.X)

Description
For Stellaris 4.0.X 'Phoenix'

Are you tired of playing modded Stellaris only to be tempted by the idea of an Ascension Tier 38 Forge World? This might be the mod for you!

Dynamic Mod Menu is only required IF you want to access the menu mid-game without using console commands,

Description
This mod allows the player to set the Ascension Tier Cap (ATC) via a custom GUI at the start of the game. When a new year starts, any worlds exceeding the ATC will be set back to the cap.

How to use
1. Start game
2. Change the middle number with buttons to the left or right (or do nothing)
3. Press ESC, Enter, or click the close button at the top-right of the window.

The Lock Button
When pressed, this button prevents you from making ANY changes to the ATC for the rest of the game. If you enabled it by mistake and/or didn't make a save beforehand, enter the following console command below:
effect remove_global_flag = CAC_locked_flag

Multiplayer/Mid-game installation
This should be fine in multiplayer, and only the host should have access to the mod menu. If not, the host should enter the following console command with nothing selected:
effect set_country_flag = PM_CAC_host

Compatibility & Load Order
Should be compatible with everything.
Load anywhere.

Performance
Should be a lightweight mod, and I could probably optimize it a bit more.

A more technical explanation
So because I can't stop the Player from clicking the Upgrade Ascension Tier button (without doing horrible things, anyway) and the fact that the effect is handled in-engine, this is one of the few ways you can actually implement a cap to Ascension Tiers. (The other way is modifying stuff in 00_defines, but it isn't dynamic.)

okay so i figured out what was goin on and this is pretty much on our whole group for not figuring this out sooner. the cap does work, but we're so used to the button greying out we thought we could go further. so yes it is working, it just leaves a waste your unity button behind lol.

oh i set it at the start this isn't a mid game download. still messing with it off and on in a copy of the save to see if i can't get it to lock at the number i set. if i figure anything out on my end i'll post it up here or anywhere you recommend, cuz this mod was very useful in our last playthrough before planetary ascension got reworked... we had a lot of issues when people had 1 mega world and it counted for -100% empire size... seems that still causes issues so been limiting people to 13 to prevent that.

Did you wait until a new year starts? As mentioned in the description, I can't stop you from clicking the button, so the best I can do is cap it occasionally.

so i set the a cap in my groups current modded game, mostly to prevent an overflow that was happening in our last one when someone went to ascension 25+ on their single world, set it to 13, and people including myself as the host can still go past it. i've tried changing the load order putting it before and after other traditions mods, as far first in the order and dead last and still no effect. i'm not sure if this mod is doing what it used to anymore.
