SWR Not Created Equal WotC

Second Wave Remastered: Not Created Equal WotC. (UPDATED V.5)

A vanilla randomizer for Rookie Starting stats based on Enemy Within, and now it works for War of the Chosen!

***Vanilla Version: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=626232835

It generally follows the distribution from the first game, but adds hacking.
Offense: 55-75, 10% chance of 80.
Mobility: 1/3 chance 11, 1/3 for 12, 1/6 for 13, 1/6 for 14
Will: Should fall in the traditional 25-60 range. Crit to 62.
Hacking:1/3 for 0, 1/3 for 5, 1/6 for 10, 1/6 for 15

A Vanilla version of EladDV's Second Wave Reborn Mod's implementation of NCE. Very similar, except it uses the old EW Rollstat function, modifies only the original random stats (and hacking, since it's new), and no RedFog. Thanks to him for the help!

You can modify ranges in XComNCE.ini
As a side note, this does not modify the stats of units already above the Rookie rank, including reward characters, whose stats will use the character base stats and level up from there.

V.2 Update Notes: Due to popular demand, additional optional stats were added. They are left disabled by default, but now you may randomize Health, Dodge, Defense, and Crit Chance. You may now also choose to disable the 50% crit chance on high rolls, keeping the values to your defined ranges. Note: Defense and Crit Chance have no ready in-Armory display.

V.3 Update Notes: Added a small addendum to the XComGameData_CharacterStats.ini so that it randomizes correctly for players on “Rookie” level difficulty. Randomization should no longer hang after the first month. Added an additional safeguard to prevent Aliens from Randomizing.

V.3.1 Update Note: Minor addition to the previous Update. This plugs a small loophole where Rulers would get Randomized stats if a new campaign was started.

V.4 Update Notes: As requested, there is now the option to randomize SPARK starting stats. To use this feature, simply go to the XComNCE.ini and make bIsRandSparks=true . As of V.5, Sparks have their own custom ranges for randomization.

V.5 Update Notes: The WotC Update. This mod is now fully compatible with War of the Chosen, and it's been beefed up a bit. It is automatically set to Randomize Normal Soldiers and Faction Heroes ( bIsRandHeroes=true ), and each Faction's Hero has their own randomization ranges. You can customize these ranges by altering the same values you would for a normal soldier, but within their respective section. Each stat generally starts with an identifier such as Reap, Skirm, or Temp. The same holds true for SPARKs, who have had ranges added as well. While you can change the ranges, avoid changing the Template Offsets, because that is what allows a squaddie-level unit to be randomized, and if changed will stop that unit's randomization.

V.5.1 Update Notes: Fixed a bug with Will generation stopping later randomization. Will Ranges have been adjusted for WotC. The repurposing of Will has made the old ranges less playable, reverting to normal ranges. Faction Hero will Intervals lowered to increase diversity.

V.5.2 Update Notes: Added Armor to Optional Randomization Options. Just switch bIsRandArmor=true when you want to use. Also customizable in the NCE.ini, base settings are 0-1 (25% crit for 2) for soldiers, 0-2 (20% Crit for 3) for Sparks.

V.5.3 Update Notes: Quick fix to help try and catch Sparks and Faction Soldiers added by mods at the start of the game. Also, slight optimization improvements that have been bugging me for a while!
