Project Kathun - Extra Battle Droid dialogue

Description
An addon for Project Kathun to add new dialogue to B1 and B2 battle droids, along with... Droidekas?!
Now has a Project Kathun: Reworked version!

Kathun is an amazing mod, but among the areas which can be improved is a lack of unique dialogue for the battle droids of the Clone Wars. I always found B1 droids in particular to be very endearing, so I set out to give them (and the B2) new fleshed-out dialogue to the best of my abilities.
Some lines were also taken from Jedi: Survivor, especially to help get content for the B2.

Features a dialogue package for both droid types, and various new biome dialogue if you have a squad.
The dialogue package will be automatically applied to any pre-existing B1 and B2 units found in the mod, and should work retroactively on your save files.
However, the dialogue will not be applied to new units from different addons, or any droids you made in character creation if they were not supposed to start as one.

Also features a simple new gamestart, Droid Misadventure, which allows you to spawn in Venge with two B1 droids and no other characters!

As stated above, I have also added a Droideka dialogue package, believe it or not! It's just noises, really. This package should automatically apply to any Droideka NPCs AND the player's recruited units, thanks to some trickery in the FCS. If you suspect your Droideka's dialogue isn't working, you can fix this by making a new squad and placing it there.

I also made a few smaller changes:
  • Updated the dialogue for hiring B1 and B2 droids. An unused Kathun dialogue is now used, causing B2 units to cost 8500 credits instead of 6000.
  • Updated the racial descriptions of B1, B2, and Droideka units and gave them non-vanilla slave values.
  • Gave the Kathun mining drill animation to B1 units since they were missing it, and the PK_MeleeAnimsV2 file to B1 and B2 units.
  • Fixed the racial portraits of Droidekas, Binary Load Lifters, R5 units, and Gonk droids.
  • Added a chance for Hound town patrols to spawn with their faction B1 in each squad.
  • Researching Hiver Cybernetic Arms now grants the crafting recipe for the Super Battle Droid Blaster, as there was no way to build it otherwise. This is compatible with Kathun Droid Module Crafting Fix, which I also recommend.

Let me know if I missed anything! I only got into Project Kathun shortly before starting to work on this addon, so I'm still new to a lot of it. I am also open to feedback and suggestions to improve it.

This is absolutely charming, and I'd *love* to see more flavor mods for Kathun! Let me know if you need more writers or anything, I'd be more than happy to contribute. :)
