[WOTC] PD2 Shield Ghost Templates

A re-skin pack of several shields taken from Payday 2.

And by "several", i mean "basically all of them". The only ones missing are the variants used by the Federales, i think, but they're such basic re-textures i didn't include them.

Ballistic Shields is obviously a requirement, or else you wouldn't have a way to actually use these.

These shields are a series of ghost templates that use Template Master to function.

A "template" refers to how the game's items are set-up in the code, they're called Templates internally.

A "ghost template" is a weapon that technically exists, but isn't selectable in the arsenal. It's a re-skin meant to be applied to other weapons using external mods, such as these:

• XSkin (easiest to use) - Re-skin any weapon you want directly in the armory.
  
  
• Template Master itself - Replace aspects of other weapons via config.
  
  
• Weapon Skin Replacer - Similar to Template Master, but older and with fewer features.

If you use XSkin, the "Owned" filter needs to be turned off to see the shields in the re-skin menu, since the player doesn't count as actually "owning" these.

• U.S. Marshal Shield (PD_Shield_Marshal)
  
• Police Phalanx Shield (PD_Shield_Phalanx)
  
• Phalanx Captain Shield (PD_Shield_Phalanx_Badge)
  
• Russian Merc Shield (PD_Shield_RusMerc)
  
• S.W.A.T. Shield (PD_Shield_Swat)
  
• F.B.I. Shield (PD_Shield_FBI)
  
• Z.E.A.L. Shield (PD_Shield_Zeal)

The names in parenthesis represent that shield's internal template name, which'll be relevant to you if working with config files that require use of their internal names.

• Template Master - REQUIRED for this mod to work at all, obviously.
  
  
• Ballistic Shields - REQUIRED. Why would you even use this if you don't have Ballistic Shields?

• The way some of these shields are curved inwards at the sides make it so they clip easier with a soldier's arm.

• Overkill/Starbreeze - Creators of PAYDAY 2 and every asset used in this mod.
