Combat Extended Auto-Patcher

In between when I started working on this and when I posted it, people from the CE team started on their own autopatcher. As such, this will soon become unnecessary, and any updates I make to it will just be practice for me.

Version: Beta 0.1.1 - very rough work in progress. Feels free to post suggestions and feedback. This is my first mod, and first real programming project, so constructive criticism is appreciated.

Auto-Patches mods that lack a CE patch. Not as good as a custom patch, but makes them usable.

Tries to find weapons, apparel, pawns, and turrets that are not compatible with Combat Extended, and patch them to be compatible.

• Weapons - changes the weapons stat bases (accuracy etc.) to CE ones, changes the weapon's verb to a CE one, generates ammo for the gun, and adds a recipe for that ammo at the loading bench. Currently treats every ranged weapon as an industrial era rifle-type weapon. This makes many weapons incredibly unbalanced. I'm working on it.
  Update 0.1.1 - now uses a formula for sharp and blunt penetration instead of 1
  Update 0.1.1 - melee weapons now patch
  
  
• Apparel - Adds bulk and worn bulk to apparels. Multiplies their armor values to useful levels. Eventually will add CE stats like smoke sensitivity and weapon handling to appropriate apparels. If you encounter an apparel with ridiculously high armor values, it's likely that it was already compatible with CE, and whomever made the patch forgot to assign it a Bulk value. Since my mod identifies unpatched apparels as ones lacking Bulk, it might patch an already-compatible apparel.
  
  
• Pawns - Changes their tools (innate melee attacks) to CE ones. Changes their verbs (innate ranged attacks) to CE ones. If they have natural armor, multiplies it to useful levels.
  
  
• Turrets - Sets Cover Height to 1.49m (actually changes fill percent to 0.85, which CE then converts using their system for cover height). This allows it to shoot over most cover, while also being shot over by pawns. Still working on getting them to use ammo.
