Description:

A simple config fix addressing a few voice selection issues in the Buildable Units mod by Kiruka.

Currently, the mod does the following things:

• Fixes an issue where SPARKs could no longer use any of the vanilla SPARK voices.
• Fixes an issue where all BUs except the Military Assault MEC couldn’t use the SPARK voices as seemingly intended by the author. (I opted not to make any judgment calls with regards to which BUs should have access to SPARK voices – or voices at all – so all BUs will have these voices now. Except the Chryssalid Hound, and for some reason the Frost Droid and Elerium SHIV? I dunno, it’s easy enough to tweak if there’s interest.)
• Fixes a dummied-out compatibility patch for CombatMedic’s ADVENT Mech SPARK Voice Pack mod, allowing BUs with access to SPARK voices to also use his "ADVENT Mec" voice. This requires some manual editing to take effect, though: Go into SteamApps/common/workshop/268500/3596971955/Config/XComContent.ini and replace all occurrences of ";+" with "+" to enable the MEC voice. (Note that you still need to enable CombatMedic’s mod in order for the voice to actually work!)

TODO:

• Figure out how (and whether) to remove human voices from the BU lists. (This might be trickier, I have a sneaking suspicion it will involve a bit of UnrealScript…)
• Fix an issue where the preview buttons in the BU voice picker don’t do anything. (… I suspect this might have to do with BUs using alien pawns, so probably not a lot I can do from my end… but who knows?)
