QOL Upgrades 2 - Thermals and Headlights

Description
Adds some Quality Of Life changes that trickled down from Yet Another Mechlab:

V 2.2 - DLC4 compatible

Working:
Thermal Vision - Page Down
Mech Lights - L (shadows must be NOT medium)
Torso Counter Rotation - CapsLock
Kill Target - Ctrl-Alt-F8
Weapon Group Mode Switch - CTRL-WpnGroup (for YAW LBX cannons)

Mod Options:
- God Mode
- FPS Limiter
- Salvage percent chance (cored, legged, headshot, items)
- Garbage Collection Timer to mitigate mem leak via persistent actor timer event. Runs at double interval during mission.

Other:
- Search button for star system in Starmap
- Mechlab has Default / Load / Save Loadouts buttons now. Uses the InstantAction.json to store the loadouts. Loads or shows the variant's base loadout with Default.

Change keybinds and other values with Bobbert's Mod Options:

Coming later - maybe:
- On Market Equipment Sell Screen, hold left or right Shift to sell 10 items with one click / press of a button.
- On Mech Management Screen, added new buttons "REPAIR ALL", "SELL SELECTED 'MECH" and direct sell from Cold Storage by right-clicking on any stored 'Mech.
- Weapon / Equipment Tooltip shows more stats.

The Thermal Vision is the intellectual property of Navid A1, I'm using it with his permission.

YetAnotherMechlab contains this / is not compatible. MercTech is not compatible.

Hi, sorry silly question the "kill target" command it's a cheat for untargettable units or it's a command units order?

Had this mod. Once I installed and activated the Enhanced Salvage and Repair mod, it conflicted and this one will not work while the other is active.

Very good QoL mod, very good for eyes, big tanks, huge choppers

The headlights are working from me in single player. I don't think they are mech specific. I haven't tried the thermals in MP yet, but I think since it's really a client-side mod, that you, your server, and your friends all need to have it. I could see a server not supporting in in MP, as it could be seen as a kind of cheat, and generally renders weather conditions meaningless.

Remember that the author noted above that the mod would conflict with YetAnotherMechLab. It probably also conflicts with mods that perform identical functions.

oh according to previous comments the shadows have to be set to anything but medium? weird

so for some reaosn the headlight of this mod doesn't seem to work for me in single player and the thermals don't seem to work for my co-op players is this a known issue with a fix?

the game says that this conflicts with another mod. Not sure which one, but it only became a problem after getting mech salvage mod, infantry no expense, and infantry no damage

Shadows must be set to anything except medium.

I can't get the headlights to work, but everything else seems to be working fine. Maybe one of my graphics settings is the issue?

Mod brings old good classic Thermal sensors and lights looks good.
