Shields Cooldown [FIXED]

Fixed the way Shields Cooldown patches [Beta] Modular+++ Shields v0.62b if you don't have that mod installed to avoid a crash.
Also added support for additional mods.
I will take this down at the request of the author Dazz Aephiex, or when the mod is fixed (and hopefully the Core Shield and other mods get supported).
Original description below, with added text in bold:


This mod adds a cooldown time to shields that must be waited until a taken down shield to regain power.


Vanilla: Crews will deliver batteries to the shield generator until it is full. After then, the shield regains power immediately.


Modded: Crews will deliver batteries to the shield generator until it is full. After then, the shield has to wait for some time until it regains power. The time it has to wait depends on its size. A cooldown meter appears taking the place of shield hitpoints meter during this period.

• Tiny Shields: 8 seconds
  
• Small Shields: 12 seconds
  
• Small Bubble Shields: 16 seconds
  
• Large Shields: 16 seconds
  
• Large Bubble Shields: 24 seconds
  
• Core Shield: 32 seconds

The more crew to resupply it, the more efficient it will be, this is the logic of many parts in this game. However, mods like The Cable Age or MMCT - Power Rework, Cables and Stuff accidentally buffed shields by offering quick and efficient automated power supply, making them nearly indestructible for they offer no more than a split-second after being taken down and before it's back up. This mod is meant to limit how fast a taken down shield generator can reboot, making them less indestructible.


Shield generators from the following mods have been patched to work the same way as this mod.

• [Beta] Modular+++ Shields v0.62b
  
• Galactic Allegiance
  
• General Munitions' Projectile Weaponry

Shield generators not listed above still work the same way as they used to.


Q: I think shield generators are taking too long rebooting.
A: I made this mod in a way that the values can be changed easily without needing to know much about modding. Head to the mod files directory and edit "stats.rules". It should be straightforward once you made it there.
