Advent to T'au Empire [WOTC]

Due to reports of issues with the vanilla XCOM2 game launcher, my recommendation is that you use the XCOM2 Alternative Mod Launcher (AML) in conjunction with this mod. You can find the AML here: https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher

REQUIREMENTS
Required DLC:
WOTC
(The mod may work without the two DLC below but there will be missing animations and particle FX)
Alien Hunters
Tactical Legacy Pack

Required Mods:
Community Highlander
Alien Hunters Community Highlander plugin (if you have this DLC, if not, skip it)
Animations and Sockets Supplement

DESCRIPTION

This mod converts Advent forces to those of the Tau Empire from the Warhammer 40k universe. Like my other Advent changer mods, this is a partial conversion and only affects the tactical layer of the game. The strategic layer, including the tech tree, is totally unaffected. Units drop corpses depending on what they replace so tech and campaign progression remains the same. All hostile units, including Advent Troops, Aliens, Chosen and Alien Rulers, are replaced.

If you would like to know more about the Tau Empire, you can read up on them here:

My expectation is that you would probably enjoy the mod more if you go into it without knowing exactly what to expect, but, if you must know what enemies have changed into what, you can see the list below:

Generally speaking, I will say that Tau units tend to use more direct fire abilities and fewer disabling abilities compared against Advent. As a result, you may see higher casualties when using this mod compared to fighting against vanilla Advent units; I certainly did.

I do not guarantee compatibility with any other mods but I only anticipate conflicts with mods that affect Advent characters and AI scripts. See the Known Issues section for known conflicts. Some of the mods I used during my test campaign, and can vouch for, include [WOTC] Mission Overhaul: Core, Increased Pod Sizes by Force Level, Golden Path Mission Revamp and A Dance of Avatars and Chosen.

ANTICIPATED QUESTIONS

Vanilla/LW/LWOTC version when?
Afraid not.

Chaos/Eldar/Halo Advent replacer when?
I am not willing to commit myself to making any additional Advent Replacers at this point.

Playable Tau when?
That will probably be my next project. No estimates on when it may be complete at this point.

KNOWN ISSUES AND CONFLICTS
Known Conflicts
-[WOTC] Enhanced Ragdoll Physics and FX (Overrides enemy archetypes)
-[WOTC] Yellow Alert Gameplay V2.0 (Had issues with this mod breaking AI when I tried it with Advent to Galactic Empire so I would expect it to cause issues for this mod as well)
-The Hive (Overrides Chryssalid)
-Still Stop Wasting My Time (Seems to cause lengthy lockups during tactical missions when reaction events occur [i.e. bladestorm and overwatch shots])

Other known issues include the following:
-Third Party Factions, like Black Legion or Dark Eldar raiders, do not appear to trigger ruler reactions.
-When not posing as a civilian, the Guevesa Sicarian Infiltrator uses Faceless proportions in cinematic reveals. (At the moment I can only fix this by disabling the civilian reveal cinematic as well, so I'm not doing it)
-Some Tau Advent units were observed spending all of their actions on movement (despite viable targets) during a UFO mission when fighting against Lost when XCOM has not been revealed yet. They attacked normally again once XCOM showed itself.
