Long War Perk Pack: Algorithm Presets

Description
Introduces a new skill for the LW Specialist that reduces the cooldown of Haywire Protocol by one turn and replaces the skill Resilience in the LW Specialist's perk tree.

The way base Haywire Protocol works is that while the skill's cooldown is 4 turns, robot control lasts for 3 turns, meaning on the turn before Haywire Protocol cools down, the aliens regain control of the robot.

With this perk you will always have a robot on your side to fight. (Not counting SPARKs)

TODO:
This perk now has a custom icon but could use a better one.
I don't know enough technical language of another language to do a proper translation. Help would be appreciated.

Update:
I had to reset my computer's hard drive, meaning I lost the code to this mod. I'm not sure if I can restore the original mod without accidentally creating another version. I'm in the process of creating a new mod. Maybe will try if there is enough interest.

Translations Done:
Spanish
Korean

if you are looking to make it more stronger, it could be that in case of failed atepmts it would reduce the cooldown by another turn

Great. Always had a feeling Resilience for LW Specialist was out of character.

Bug should be fixed. Try now.

I just looked through the base code again.
To explain how this works, it constructs a new Haywire Protocol ability internally called HaywireProtocol_LW that can be modified with my Algorithm Presets Modifier.

The reason why cancelling the ability doesn't work is because the base code is still looking for the original haywire protocol by name. I'll have to go through the code and do a more thorough reconstruction.

Awesome mod!
But, does this mess with the way the base haywire works? I canceled my hack attempt on a robot and the cool-down is still there. I've never had this problem before.

@thunderbeast: Hack Plus mod. Increases soldier's hacking stat by +1 for a failed hack, +3 for an easy hack reward, +5 for a hard one.
Thank you for the translation, I will upload that ASAP.
As for the hacking upgrade, I would have to put that to user concensus, as I have no experience balancing perks myself. At a glance, I would agree, as Restoration can instantly revive and heal an unconscious soldier.

And I think this skill should increase specialist's hacking stats, too.
Or it's still weak perk (Better than Resilience though), compares with other two.
Others are game changing perks. Yes, Haywire Protocol is also strong and game changing ability. But still, It is too easy to fail.

Btw, in your screenshot... how the hack, that soldier's hack stat is 361?

It has a custom icon now, but it could use a better one. (Yes I made it myself. Decent, yes. Competent, maybe. Skilled, no.)

Please comment in comments when custom icon is created. Thanks!
