[WOTC] No Stat Boost From Covert Actions

Description
OVERVIEW
This mod disables all stat boosts from Covert Actions. By stat boost, I mean individual boosts to soldiers stats like + dodge, + health, etc. You will still be able to gain rewards from Covert Actions.

This was originally developped as part of my Soldier Development mod but I have decided to make a stand-alone version for people who would like this feature only.

I am aware that another mod is attempting to do this, but I decided to publish this one for the following reasons:
  • That other mod makes other changes like increasing kills gained from Covert Action missions
  • It disables the stat boosts through ini configs which creates dud rewards in-game
    (eg. "+0 Dodge", "+0 Health")

My method won't create dud rewards in-game. It simply doesn't show any text in the soldier slots.

COMPATIBILITY
This mod should be compatible with any mod.

It is safe to add mid campaign. However, it will take some time for the changes to show since it will only be applied to Covert Actions created after enabling this mod.

The same thing will happen if you disable this mod mid campaign; it will take some time for the stat boosts to start reappearing.

CREDITS
I'd like to thank robojumper for helping me with the code back in 2018.

Considering the author of this mod does not seem to be active anymore, I think it's okay to post this here?

Just released this as a spiritual successor of sorts. It fixes the issue Iridar mentioned below, as well as a few others. (and exposes everything to config)

Still a very fresh release, but not expecting any big issues.

This mod removes ALL slot rewards from ALL covert action. This WILL BREAK OTHER MODS that add new Covert Actions with slot rewards that are not stat boosts.

Does this also remove from CA promotion as bonus?

Are all the Hunt the Chosen ___ covert actions generated at the start of a run? I installed this early, before meeting the Warlock and Hunter. Even after clearing the level 1 quests, their level 2 quests still confer aim/dodge/etc. bonuses, while everything else works as intended.

@dmc32 it is the backward ball cap.. from vanilla game I think?

@Hotl3looded, where is that cap from on the x-com soldiers head? Don't recall seeing that before.
