[WoTC] Displays Of Affection - Tactical Dating Sim

Description
Introduces an all-new Affection System and fully-featured Relationship Simulator that some of you really wanted me to make.

🫂 New Affection System
After every mission, soldiers will gain (or lose) Affection based on performance, survival, and team synergy. Every decision on the battlefield now carries emotional weight. (You can see your soldier's affection in a little heart in their Armory screen)

💬 Chat With Your Squad – New Living Quarters Feature
Spend time in the barracks like never before. A new Chat System lets you talk directly with your soldiers between missions. Choose from professional check-ins, casual conversations, flirty banter, or deeper, emotional talks.

💞 Full Romance Progression
As affection rises, unlock a range of relationship paths—from respectful camaraderie to close friendship, romantic involvement, and even marriage proposals. XCom2 is now a dating sim!

✨ Personality Perks
High-affection soldiers unlock unique passive perks. Customizable in the .ini (or if you prefer the mod to be cosmetic only these perks can be turned off entirely). Perks made by me and trneedaname.

📷 NEW Assign Custom Portraits
With the button in the lower right corner of the chat box you can assign any of your posters for a soldier to use. (Since these are files in your documents folder, you can edit them in paint and get any image you want loaded into the game.)

💌 Commander... they trust you with their lives. Will you earn their hearts?

FAQ
-Needs new campaign?
No.
-LWotC
I think so.
-How do you gain affection actually?
Win Mission +2 to every soldier who participated.
Lose Mission -2 to every soldier who participated.
Killed a Chosen +2 to every soldier who participated.
Killed a Chosen for good +15 to every soldier who participated.
Soldier Unscathed +3 to that soldier.
Soldier Lightly Injured -1 to that soldier.
Soldier Gravely Injured -2 to that soldier.
Soldier Captured -4 to every other soldier.
Milestones at 25, 50 and 75. Meaning if they hit that Affection they fall below the milestone.
-Console Commands

Little icon in the bottom right of the chat screen let's you set a color for that soldier's response text, thought it'd be cute.

Interesting mod.

You should add more ways to lose affection as well, otherwise a good player will only get more powerful.

Suggestions:
Kill a civilian: -15 to every soldier who participated. (there is a mod that affects will if you kill civs)
A civilian dies: -2 to every soldier who participated. (example: like in retaliation missions)
Advent extracts supplies: -1 to every soldier for every supply box that Advent manages to extract.
Ruler escaped: -3 to every soldier who participated.
Destroyed Loot: -5 to the soldier that destroyed the loot.
Gets panicked: -1 to the soldier that got himself panicked.
Gets dominated: -3 to the soldier that got dominated by the enemy.
Soldier doesn't score a kill: -2 to the soldier that didn't score a kill during the mission.

"XCom2 is now a dating sim!" brought a tear to my eye, truly a great time to be alive!

It took me a while to find the chat button, because it's in the living quarters, not the 'view soldiers' screen in the armory, and living quarters isn't in any of the menus at the bottom of the screen (research, engineering, armory, command).

Also, a minor bug: If you go to the living quarters, and click engineers or scientists, and then click back to soldiers, the chat buttons have disappeared (you have to back out and click 'personnel' again to get them back).

is there a way I can add a wounded condition, since lwotc has 3 wounded conditions lightly, wouned, and gravely wounded. My soldier got wounded and had no negative affection change while lighlty, being better, has a negative affection change.

How do I edit the skill reserved, I would prefer it was -10 or -15 on crits than crit invincible. In lwotc only the chosen have that lol. Also intelligent is kinda useless for soldiers who dont typically hack... maybe an alternative outcome like +10 or +15 free Ability points would be good

Is there a way to set the character's perks?

I tend to build up an actual personality for them based off their backstory and actions in game. So it'd be great to be able to set the personality perks to ones that make sense
