[WOTC] Disable Automatic Posters

Description
Mod Description
XCOM2 takes a bunch of squad photos / posters automatically during the game. An automatic poster is taken at the end of every mission, one is taken when a soldier dies, one when a soldier is bonded and one when a soldier is promoted.

Most of these photos are rubbish quality, for example having soldiers facing the opposite way, bad zoom levels, pixelated graphics and various other problems. So if, like me, you prefer having your photobooth containing mostly manually taken, expertly curated photos of your favourite characters, rather than automatically created garbage, then this is the mod for you!

This config only mod makes use of some recent CHL changes (currently in beta) to disable these automatic photographic abominations and send them back to the abyss from whence they came.

Notes
At present, this mod relies the latest BETA version of the Community Highlander so please use this if you want the mod to work properly. Once the changes get migrated to stable, I will update the notes.

Feel free to adjust the individual flags in the config file if you want to keep some of the automatically generated photos, but not others.

Ok, I figure it out. It was because AML applying the files from stable version, probably causing by verifying during update. I deleted stable version, now it's all working again.

There shouldnt be any changes in the most recent beta that change this but mods can override the CHL behaviour with MCOs, the only ones I'm aware of are after action extended and configurable headshots, both of which override the bit that takes the auto memorial photo when a soldier dies but I'm not aware of many that override the others. It would depend on your modlist - I'd advise standard troubleshooting steps first, clearing configs etc. but will look into it more if I get other confirmed reports.

Finally I don't have to delete all those posters to contain my OCD and I can use Psi Overhaul!

FYI this also stops your storage space being filled up so if you have low storage space this helps even more

LMAO! "0 Combined Kills! Let's celebrate with a crap selfie!"

This looks like a great mod! I wanted to try something like this, but I got put off by how huge of task it seemed to be (I settled for a simpler solution myself). Great work!

Oh thank god, finally a version of this that is compatible with my other mods.

Link fixed - also added the BETA CHL to list of required items for now, until it gets pushed to stable

@rich1947p this doesn't have that mod's compatibility issues, and also actually works properly rather than inconsistently.
