Invasive Wildlife Tau Convert

Tiny add-on for Invasive Wildlife that allows you to convert Kroot Hound Alpha.

This replaces the Tau faction file, so it is NOT compatible with any mod that modifies the faction.

Adding Kroot Hound Alpha to Convert Wildlife ability of other mods
Since there are many mods that change the faction file and using xml extension files seems to not work for faction edits, here is how you can add it to any of those mods:

1. Open the mod folder of the mod that has highest priority.
(You can do this from in game mod list)
Mods that edit this file are mostly mods that change player abilities, music, quests (including quest voiceovers) or starting units.

2. Open the World/Factions/Tau.xml file (recommend using Visual Code or Notepad++ but simple Notepad will work)

3. Scroll down to <actions>
You should see the <convertWildlife ...> function

Where it says:
<unit match="Any">
<type name="Neutral/KrootHound"/>
<type name="Neutral/VespidStingwing"/>
</unit>

Add the line:
<type name="Neutral/KrootHoundAlpha"/>

So that it becomes:
<unit match="Any">
<type name="Neutral/KrootHound"/>
<type name="Neutral/KrootHoundAlpha"/>
<type name="Neutral/VespidStingwing"/>
</unit>

Done. You can now convert Kroot Hound Alphas using any mod.
