Flak uses point defense turret model (legacy)

Description
Appears to be broken as of 3.6


Makes flak guns use the same turret models as point defense guns.
For some reason, flak guns use the small kinetic turret model in the base game, probably because they used to go in the small turret slot. In any case, I felt like the point defense turret model was a better fit, so I made this mod.
The mod is cosmetic only, it does not change what slot turrets go in, only the model used to represent the turrets.
This should work with other ship mods, at least as long as they don't add new types of turrets.
Not Ironman/Achievement compatible.

Known issue:
The arthropoid turret is still the small kinetic turret. This is because the base game arthropoid point defense turret is bugged and appears as a tiny version of the small kinetic turret since the model for the point defense turret is missing in the files, so I replaced it with the full sized one.

Broken as of 3.6.1. For some reason it breaks the missile launcher graphic.

Stellaris as of 3.4 has changed a lot in the last 6 months, the devs have added more codding for better modding capabilities for modder's

This is a good mod and goes to show the Dev team(s) on Stellaris sadly have Oversight Syndrome

oh thank god, I've been trying to make the flak turret in my mod use their own actual model, but the slot limitation was hellish

@GreatGatherer Honestly, I don't know. My best guess is because the file that I had to change is not in the "gfx" (graphics) folder and while it is, as far as I can tell, a file that only affects graphics, most files in the "common" folder, where it is, are not. This is not the only case of something purely cosmetic disabling acheivements, namelists apparently also have the same probblem. My guess is that changing files that are not associated with common graphical mods or in the graphics or sound folders disable aceivements. Unfortunately, I have done so in this mod.

why is it that this isn't ironman/achievement compatible? It seems like it would be, as it is just a graphical FIX.

@megabot I know flak goes in point defence slots, the mod makes the flak turret use the point defence turret model, instead of the small kinetic one. The mod is cosmetic only. The 2nd and 4th pictures underline this, showing ships with a mix of flak and point defence, but all point defence slots are using the same, point defence turret model.

the...flak turret was always on the point defence part, from the very beginning
