Description:
Why should soldiers always have only 2 action points?
A seasoned hero should be able to act more decisively.

What is this mod?

This is a simple perk-adding mod. By itself, it does nothing. However, when you assign the perk included in this mod to a soldier, they will gain additional action points at the start of each turn, according to the value you set.

To activate the effect, simply include the following in your soldier’s abilities in XComClassData.ini:

Standard action points(Soldier can both move and attack) AbilityType=(AbilityName="MoreAP") Move-only action points(Soldier cannot attack, move only) AbilityType=(AbilityName="MoreMoveOnlyAP") No-move action points(Soldier cannot move, other actions are available) AbilityType=(AbilityName="MoreNoMoveAP") templar’s momentum action points(I probably won’t have much use for it) AbilityType=(AbilityName="MoreMomentAP") NOTE 1: No-move and move-only action points will be used only after standard action points are depleted. NOTE 2: The class ini config changes will apply only to soldiers who are promoted to that class after you change it.

You can also configure how many action points the soldier will gain each turn through the perk.
By default, 3 standard action points are added, while 1 move-only, no-move, and momentum action point is added respectively.
If you want to change these values, edit the XComAdditionActionPoint.ini file in the Config folder.

Refer to the XComAdditionActionPoint.ini file located in the following directory:

C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent2685003541827000Config
Adding Abilities to Equipment

You can now add perks to equipment such as weapons and armor through simple ini edits.
This feature was created to allow adding perks provided by this mod, but due to the code’s logical structure, it may also be possible to add other perks.
For detailed instructions, please refer to the comments in the XComAdditionActionPoint.ini file.

Credits

Original mod created by Boundir and uploaded to GitHub[github.com].

Since this mod was never released on the Steam Workshop, I took the liberty of uploading a version with a new icon, a new ability template with more types of Action points, and added comments in the config file. Therefore, all credit still goes to Boundir.
If he wants to delete this mod, I will do.
