[WOTC] Rusty’s Psionic

This my personal adaptation of ADVENT AVENGERS Psionics Class
If AA wishes for me to un-list this I will.

For those not familiar with the above class mod, this mod introduces a Custom Class based around psionic skills that ranks up and grows like any other normal soldier.

• Well, for starters it is optional in the config if you want to trash the old psi lab or not.
  The default is to trash it. If you re-enable the lab (in XComRustyPsionic.ini), you may also want to re-enable the vanilla Psi-Operative class by adjusting the XComClassData.ini.
  This option exists so you can use this dedicated Psionic alongside something like Kyuubicles Psi Overhaul v3
• This class integrates the perks from Iridars More Psi . No class data edits needed.
• Works with most mod added psionic weapons including; Psi Implants , The Warlocks Crown, PZ Psi Melee , Ashlynne_Lee’s ADVENT Warlock Rifle and Armoured Psi Vipers Vorpal Gatling Guns
• Works with Psionics Ex Machina
• Has pistol slot config for Dedicated Pistol Slot
• Uses a recolour of NelVlesis‘ updated GTS image, and I made a new GTS Perk Icon
• GTS Perk updated to give a boost only when concealment is broken. Boost is configureable. GTS Unlock costs are configureable.
• Full localisation pass for class description, encyclopedia entry, nicknames and rank names
• Inclusion of photobooth option to count this class as a Psionic Operative for poses
• Class can equip the normally locked out PsiOffense only PCS’
• Enabled the standard Psi-Operative Class Intro, its not a custom one but’s its better than nothing 🙂

No changes to the main ‘Psionics’ tech are done here, units will start with a Rifle and Psi Amp (or Implant Amp) and you will still need to do the research to unlock better amps.

The default setup for Primary Weapons is ;

• Rifle, Psi Gatling Rifle , Psi Reaper Rifle and the primary melee Glaive .

The default setup for Secondary Weapons is ;

• PsiAmps, Psi Implants , The Warlocks Crown , Psi Vests and melee Psi Shards .

The default setup for the Dedicated ‘Pistol’ Slot is :

• Pistol, Flechette, Braincord , AmpBooster, Neurowhip and Travel Light .

(No restrictions on heavy, utility, grenades, ammo or vest slots.)

As with any class the weapons that can be used can be adjusted in the XComClassData.ini by adding or removing the "+AllowedWeapons=(SlotType=xxx, WeaponType=xxx)" lines
The pistol slot can be adjusted in the XComPistolSlot.ini

The class can use any armour and the TLP Psionic outfit.

If using Armour Category Tweaks they will be limited to Light and Medium armours which include, normal soldier outfits, Spider, Wraith and EU Psi Suits, Titan, Hive, Chosen Shade and Chosen Orion Armours. They cannot wear the ruler suits!

Please see discussion

Detailed Soldier Lists will display the Psi Stat when used with this class.
Detailed Soldier Lists Redux will display the Psi Stat when used with this class.
Extended Personal Info Lets you see the Psi stat in the Soldier List Wings.
UI Mod for Def/Mob/Psi Allows you to see the Psi stat in the Armoury UI, but not elsewhere.
Robojumpers Squad Select UI Shows the Psi Stat only after the main ‘Psionics’ research is done

1. I’ve used this setup for my AA Psionics for quite some time and found it rather well balanced. Technically it is an all new class so will add to the game just like any other class. In this respect you could run this AND AA Psionics if you really wanted.
2. I use some config tweaks for Iridars More Psi , not shared here, but I don’t think they affect the class balance all that much. (Soulmerge requires Inspire)
3. Might break your save if you have already built a psi-lab and the config to trash the lab is not turned off.
4. Works for LWotC with some minor config edits(see discussion), not intended for RPGO, should be perfectly fine in CI
5. Also works with New Promotion Screen By Default if you don’t want to use the awesome updated version …
6. No other known issues, bug reports welcome.

Many Thanks to ADVENT Avenger for the original inspiration.
