[WOTC] Chemthrower Addon Redux

This mod was intended to be a simple mod update of the previous Chemthrower Addons mod, but because of feature creep I decided to publish it as a redux instead. Needless to say getting permission from the original author was, for once, not really difficult!

This mod adds 4 new chemthrowers, each with 3 tiers. Some of them may drop as "corpse loot" and there are configs to adjust this, but mostly they should be built in the new Proving Ground Experimental Project.
The projects include the Cryolator (and Ice Canisters) if you have Bitterfrost Protocol . (Config editable!)

They can be used by anyone that can use Chemthrowers, and thus my Alchemist Class is a strong recommendation as a companion mod.
You will need classes that can use the Chemthrower Weapon Type.

Also adds an OPTIONAL project to make all canisters come from an experimental project. Defaults to not active.
I highly advise that the required mods be subbed to first.

Equipping ANY weapon of the chemthrower type will enable a "CANISTER" slot, allowing you to equip a Canister, providing there is not one equipped elsewhere.
This option works alongside Dedicated Pistol Slot configs (SIDEARM), SPARK Arsenal and Immolator Overhaul (AUXILLARY SLOT), which all do similar functions for Canisters.
A unit should only be able to equip one Chemthrower and one Canister, at any given time.
Chemthrowers do NOT need a Canister equipped to function, but they're useful when enemies are immune to the main damage.

I change Medispray and Fumigate to be non-turn-ending and also self-applying.

All can be found in the XComRustyChemthrowers.ini
A short summary of each weapon;

1. Immolator: (Orange) These are fire based. No frills, no extras. Always purchasable. These are from the base Chemthrowers mod.
   
2. Xenolators: (Black) These are fire based extra versions of the Immolator. Tintable by default!
   
3. Corrolators: (Green) These are acid based. They will corrode and shred armour.
   
4. Toxolators: (Yellow) These are poison based. They pierce armour and inflict poisoning.
   
5. Hydrolator: (Deep Blue) These are frost based. They have a chance to freeze units and apply some rupture. Low chance to backfire, but not for overwatch shots!
   
6. Cryolator: (Light Blue) These are bitterfrost based. They will chill and freeze units in stages. You require the Bitterfrost Protocol mod to get these. Some integrations are made in this mod.

All Experimental Chemthrowers::

• The basic Immolator is NOT classed as 'experimental'
  
• Made by the Proving Ground Project
  
• Are immune to disable/Codex bubbles
  
• Interact with *most* Chemthrower Abilities
  
• Affects the world, leaving fire/acid/poison tiles
  
• Length and Width = 8
  
• Have unique perks per tier.
  
  1. CV = Arc Cutter
     
  2. MG = Arc Cutter, Wide Burst
     
  3. BM = Arc Cutter, Wide Burst and Directed Jet.

Please see the discussion for details on the new perks

Most weapon and ability values can be adjusted in the XComRustyChemthrowers.ini config file

Tintable weapon models are enabled by default for Xenolators.
New models are enabled for Immolators, Cryolators, Corrolators, Toxolators and Hydrolators.
There are config toggles for enabling tinting on any of these.
The tintable weapons will start out with the default colour set in your ini's (likely highlander config, either a beige or black)

Configs also include optional fixes and tweaks for Claus' SPARKThrowers to make them interact/behave a bit more like Chemthrowers.

Configs also include fixes to most Chemthrower attack Damage Previews and FriendlyFire warnings.

• Sometimes visualization of some chemthrower/canister perks glitches out, they still work functionally but don't display a stream-jet.
  
• Immolator Overhaul Also changes the model/archetype of Immolators. To get these two mods to work together, you need to make adjustments to this mods config files.
  The XComRustyChemthrowers.ini needs to be set to NOT update Immolator models. There may be some overlap with Canister related 'free' slots.
  
• Special chemthrower attacks (like Medispray and Fumigate) take their cone sizes from the 'Immolator Mod Settings', the default ranges of these chemthrowers might not match, pay attention to your cones!
  
• ? Is this an issue ?. It's worth noting that if using Bitterfrost Protocol the Hydrolator's Chemstorm will inflict Bitterfrost effects instead of direct Frozen.
  
• If migrating from my older mod I highly advise you to strip and sell any older Xenolators, Corrolators and Toxilators before swapping. Both this and the original should work together but will be highly confusing as many player facing terms are the same, but internal names have been completely redefined.
  
• Bug reports welcome

To my knowledge these work in LWOTC/CI/RPGO/PCP/AMA
This mod should work for a mid-campaign strategy save install/switch but for best results a new campaign is advised.
