[LWotC] Skip Gatecrasher

Description
Based on Xylthixlm's "Quicker Start" https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=756948560&searchtext=gatecrasher

If original autor asks to take it down, I'll do so.

Reason for reupload:
In LWotC starting soldiers don't get mission xp after Gatecrasher thus don't get promoted with "Quicker Start" mod. This mod fixes that.

Description from original mod:
A replacement for the Quick Start mod that skips the first mission and jumps you directly to the post-mission briefing. No time in the skyranger waiting for things to load, no weird palettes. You get corpses, loot, and xp exactly as if you had done Gatecrasher yourself, but with no chance of injury or death.

Known Issue:
Nothing that I know.

If you are already subscribed to "Quicker Start", unsubscribe from that before subscribing to this mod.

Enemy corpses won't show up if I start a campaign after leaving another without closing the game. I need to relaunch it to work.

Can confirm that this works on a fresh install with just LWotC and this mod installed.

PS! I am running LWotC (Long War of the Chosen) with 500+ mods.

I can confirm that this mod still works, contrary to the comment by @Archmage MC. However, the game does crash on the cutscenes before Gatecrasher, randomly (I have over 500 mods installed so might be some incompatibilities causing it). Sometimes it works other times not. If your game crashes, just start it again and it should go through fine. It sometimes crashes twice but I have never restarted the game 3 times and not be able to run the game properly. When it finally does work, the mod works as intended as described by the post by @Scrivener below.

This doesn't work anymore. It will skip gatecrasher sure, but you don't get the rewards from it like the corpses, alloys, or elerium. You get the drop rewards though from defeated enemies.

This mod is incredible. I've always hated doing Gatecrasher, especially since I use LWoTC. Being able to skip it is a great boon to my campaigns. It always seemed weird to be commanding my own rescue.

For those wondering:

YES, you can still disable Not Created Equally in LWoTC while using this mod. simply disable it as you normally would before doing anything else once you're aboard the Avenger.

YES, you still get all of the randomized loot, corpses, crystals, alloys, etc that you normally would for completing Gatecrasher. If you're not receiving these things, it is not a problem with this mod.

YES, the soldiers that the game chooses as the Gatecrasher squad will lose a few points of Will as if they'd actually gone on the mission. This is, sadly, unavoidable. They are completely uninjured and otherwise ready for battle though, so this is a minor inconvenience at worst.

All in all, an excellent mod. Thanks, @GazingRhino.

This sometimes does not work properly, I don't know if it's connected to skipping the cutscenes too fast or not, but the 2 times I watched the cutscene of rescuing the commander, it worked, and when I skip, it doesn't.

By work/doesn't I mean it was giving me incomplete squads with missing units and also not giving me any "artefacts" like the corpses and loot from the ground. But watching the cutscene provided me with everything.

I noticed that soldiers will lose a percentage of will from the mission. Is there any way to change that to a flat amount of will loss? It's not a big deal since it's only the first mission, but it would be more consistent with how every other mission handles will loss. Something like 4 will would work since that's equivalent to a 12 turn gatecrasher.

Yeah No corpses since I had to regenerate Inis

This isn't awarding corpses, just loot and exp
