[WOTC] Recruitable & Trainable Skirmishers 2.0

Description
Commander, our scouts discovered a group of combatants claiming to have fought alongside the Skirmishers. They're not ex-advent like the Skirmishers are, but they appear to be just as fierce and they claim they can train our troops. I've never been one to turn away help, we need all that we can get.
- Bradford

Introduces Skirmisher Recruits for XCOM
Many of the amazing characters available on the workshop align closely to the combat style of a skirmisher. However, due to the constraints of the faction system, you could potentially never see your favorite character recruited into your campaign. This aims to alleviate that concern in order to better celebrate a varied character pool.

New Content
  • Rookies can be trained as skirmishers in the GTS.
  • Rookies can be naturally promoted to skirmishers.
  • All abilities, skills, and weapons will be reflective of the traditional skirmisher.
  • The skirmisher faction itself remains untouched.

Skirmisher Animations have been implemented! All abilities and animations - even the Skrimisher's run - will align appropriately to the traditional Skirmisher. (Please note, existing characters with this class will not be updated. A new campaign may be required.)

Additional Details
This will seamlessly integrate into a current or new campaign. I recommend using Use My Class to correctly pull from your character pool.

Please let me know if you encounter any bugs or discrepancies. I hope you enjoy!

This might be old, but I can no longer upgrade Skirmisher guns like others (Magnetic, etc). Anyone else get this?

This seems to be broken by today's launcher update. Although it's enabled in the mod manager, when I try to load a save it says it's missing this mod. I'll post here if it starts working again another day.

The ability is given at level 2, corporal. For some reason.

If one were to use the tricks put forth below by Jahsinha to use this mod to use two of the default hero templates side by side (Say the base game heroes alongside the proficiency ports of them), one would also need to copy over any missing files in the config folder, yes? Anything that would need replaced in the remaining config files after XCOMClassData? For instance, Project Skirmisher has a SoldierSkills ini, a PistolSlot ini, and a SkillfulSkirmishing ini. If I just copied those over to here, after replacing the ClassData file, all of that "new" stuff should work, right?

Is it normal, after the first mission is done, that there is no home base or resistance HQ? I chose the standard option to start at the skirmisher base, but when I first came to the world map it's not there. There's also no option to return to HQ after scanning sites. I think this might be a bug. I mean you need a base to be able to play, don't you? Or will it turn up later?

How would one go about making this compatible with LWOTC? I see below there is a way to replace the class data, but I am not the most tech savvy individual and do not know what to delete and replace, or where to find LOWTC's skirmisher/reaper/templar class data (I wish to use all 3 mods).

Noted, thanks!

The following was in the 'XComClassData' ini file twice. I believe the unintended repeat was the one directly below the AWC abilities function. No idea if it affects gameplay in the slightest, but I thought like mentioning it since I saw it.

+BaseAbilityPointsPerPromotion=10
+AbilityPointsIncrementPerPromotion=2
