Enhanced Salvage And Repair

Description
QoL improvements. Improved salvage shares, improved chances to salvage mechs from combat, quicker repair times, and quicker mech traits at reduced costs.

Things this mod changes:
1) Chances of salvaging a mech from combat: Headshot raised to 99%, Legged raised to 90%, Cored reduced to 25%.
2) Salvage shares increased from 3 to 5, except for hard-coded campaign missions.
3) Reduced costs and time to repair/refit mechs armor and weapons.
4) Reduced costs and times for mech upgrades. (So it is possible to use them on all mechs.)

Could you please consider making a standalone version of this mod that just tweaks the chances to salvage by head-shots, legs and coring please? I don't want more profit or cheaper upgrades and repairs, just lore accurate salvage chances. It's stupid that in the base game, legging is the worst way to try to salvage a mech when in the lore it's the best way. IMO, coring should be what leaves you with only a 5% chance of salvaging.

Well, they could have updated some game files, that changed things. Honestly, I have not played Mercs in quite awhile now. And usually the mod only breaks when they add a new DLC.
Glad my mod has helped you, both in game, and as a modder.

I think outdated source files are where the problem is, I basically recreated the same mod and the text overwritten problem is gone.

BTW, this mod has been a great help both in game and in my learning process of modification of MW5, thx!

@awlsondark, I've compared the list of files in this mod to the latest in mod editor. There're items not included in this mod and items listed no longer exist in game files. Is it possible that you've been using files from early version of the game to make the mod? Maybe that could be the cause of text overwritten.

Sorry to bother you if I'm wrong, I'm fairly new to modifications of this game.

@ETA3minutes I can't imagine why, as I never touch any file names, only some stats within the files. Wouldn't know where to start to correct that.

@awlsondark, I believe what @ledehe meant was that, this mod is changing some of the localized text back to English when you are playing non-English version of the game, mainly equipment names and descriptions as far as I can tell.

Is this tested with YAML's own salvage chance modifiers? I'm assuming it should be fine with YAML set to a higher LO, but I want the refit changes this makes. You cannot make me believe replacing 2 M Laser hardpoints takes 4 days. /wankingmotion

@ledehe I have no idea what you are talking about or asking.

Change the translated language back to English. Please fix it by touching ammo and heatsink
