Random Weapon Name Button

This mod seems to work for both vanilla and WOTC. Let me know if your experience is different.

Did you know that the game actually has code that generates random nicknames for weapons? Well, I attached a button to it.

This adds a single button to the top left of the Armory's weapon mod UI. I've never actually seen a weapon get a name in the game without my intervention before, but this code seems to work; if they left it out for a reason, maybe we'll all find out as we click this...but it seems to work for me! :)

Enjoy!

KNOWN COMPATIBILITIES

Thanks to steamuser /dev/null, this button now works with his Rename Secondary Weapons mod, as well as mods that add custom weapons (e.g. Yard1PL's models). Let me know if you run into any that don't work.

EXPERIMENTAL SUPPORT NOW IN FOR GRIMY'S LOOT MOD: Users have reported that Grimy's Loot Mod and mine run aground on one another; Grimy's wins and mine runs away. i'm hoping the patch I just pushed will address this.

KNOWN ISSUES AND BUGS.

It seems the button will not generate weapon nicknames for weapons held by Rookies (i.e. soldiers that don't have a class). This isn't the mod: this is because the game won't do it. I've added code that will disable the button when the game won't support it, just as I did for the Random Nickname Button.

If you click the button while in a submenu of the Weapons Modification screen (e.g. the color selector) the mod list will render *beneath* whatever submenu you're in. It looks a bit weird and is certainly a bug, but seems harmless. Hop out of the menu then back in to remedy it.

Sometimes the button takes a longer-than-reasonable moment to load in on the Weapons Mod screen. I've seen it take upwards of 1.5 seconds, which is a bummer, but it still works when it loads in.
