Nekarcos's Quality of Life 06: Wait-Time and Real-Time

This is a stand-alone Quality of Life pack that improves some minor things about ToME gameplay.
This pack adds more support for ToME's "Wait-Time" gameplay by generating delays between turns and various types of events.
It also adds support for "Real-Time" gameplay, adding a new dimension of difficulty (and strategy) to your encounters.

Concerning the "Real-Time" mode:
This is my HIGHLY-experimental-but-I-promise-you-it-is-thoroughly-tested setting which causes game turns (during combat) to pass by in real-life time.
Overall, gameplay is MOSTLY unaffected, as the "frequency" of actions remains entirely unchanged. However, it DOES somewhat change the rules of the game, such as allowing one to avoid projectiles or "front-load" damage.
I've had a blast with it during my "eternal testing", and it has given ToME a new charm, flavor, and... Of course: Difficulty! (:3)
So go on: Give it a try! You can always just turn it off if you don't like it.

Stability: Moderate
(During Wait/Real time, this performs "Overloaded" behavior. It might not play nicely with certain other add-ons!)

*** Features can be toggled in: "(Menu)" > "Game Options" --> "[Neka:QoL]"

Background: Turns pass by so fast! In almost any energy-based game I've played, there has been a delay such as this-- So, I endeavored to create one!
