Vektor Crossbow for LWOTC

*The Crossbow does not use "standard shot", most abilities that trigger off standard shot will not trigger, however some, like Hit and Run, have been included.

You NEED either Long War of the Chosen
Or Long War of the Chosen (Experimental) for this to work,
but I removed them as requirements since choosing one or the other would throw missing requirements for the one you're not using.

This mod creates a new Weapon Category: crossbows which is enabled by default for a handful of common LWOTC Classes.

The crossbow itself is a ''slow" weapon like a sniper rifle:

The standard attack requires 2ap to fire, if the shot misses, or the target is killed, the firing unit remains concealed.
The magazine can only ever hold a single shot, which must be reloaded after every shoit.

The alternate attack can be fired for 1ap but does not crit and always breaks concealment.

The weapon itself has fixed damage by default and does not graze, so it always does the expected damage value.

It is best at close range and suffers significant aim penalties at longer ranges

This mod also enables a number of Proving Ground projects to improve its utility, by adding a selection of unique ammunition options to provide the weapon with additional abilities.

This mod also contains a number of unique abilities that can be added to soldier class templates to provide various bonuses to using the crossbow.

By default the stats of the crossbow make a very slow, relatively low power weapon, that is very stealthy. Upgrades are expensive and have many requirements. Some of the upgrades, like custom crossbow bolts, have very powerful effects, but the opportunity cost of using a slow stealth weapon. If you like big, flashy, overpowered effects, you can tweak any of the numbers in the config to your liking, I've tried to make everything as configurable as possible. Weapon Details are almost entirely available to be altered via config.

The animations and model are direct ports of Xenethesis's Vektor Crossbow. I have no experience with 3d Modeling software, so while I do plan on eventually creating variant models for this weapon, I'm not going to do it anytime soon.

This mod is mostly a hacked together collection of abilities copied in part from Mitzruti and Iridar's mods, and is almost directly and entirely the result of the long suffering attention of Tedster, Zelfana, and Reshi, whom I pestered incessantly for help.

At the moment I am VERY open to balance feedback, and I welcome you to comment here, DM me directly, comment in my discord, or chat on twitch.tv/episodezero to discuss your thoughts.
