[WOTC] Rusty's Alchemist

This is a class mod designed around using Mitzruti's Immolator & Chemthrower abilities and puts the four RPGO Specialisations within that mod into a standard class.

I highly advise that the required mods be subbed to first.

The Alchemist has a love for mixing mundane chemicals to create wide-spreading effects. They have trained in the use of Chemthrowers and can often move into the best positions to use them. Khemians are masters of offensive toxic mixtures. Elixars are masters of tonic remedies to cure every affliction. Omniums enjoy using canisters and create unique effects.

Primary Weapon; Chemthrowers
Secondary Weapon; Canisters, Grenade Launchers and/or Rocket Launchers

Iridars Rocket Launchers are included for mod support but are not a requirement.

The class/weapon does not benefit from 'Hot Load Ammo' and I have limited the class from equipping ammo. Other classes that can use the weapon are not ammo limited, but take note that ammo does not affect the Chemthrower weapon type.

I strongly recommend these mods to give this class an alternative elemental attack/weapon, above and beyond what the canisters do;
Bitterfrost Protocol
Chemthrower Addons Redux

Dedicated Pistol Slot Mod support included allowing pistols, canisters and HEAT weapons in the 'sidearm tertiary' slot.

SPARK Arsenal and Iridars Immolator Overhaul and Chemthrower Addons Redux
will allow any soldier carrying a Chemthrower to get an Auxiliary/Canister Weapon Slot for the sole purpose of carrying a Canister if they do not have a canister equipped in another slot. It throws the class 'balance' off a little but honestly not by much.

They can use any standard soldier armour, the TLP Grenadier cosmetics and Skirmisher armours.
I'd also suggest the Purifier Armour cosmetic mod.

See the discussions below

They can form bonds like any other soldier but may have odd interactions with the 'Dual Strike' ability. Their default favoured class is Grenadiers.

I also included support for SPARKS, LWOTC Grenadiers/Technicals and Proficiency Sappers if you have mods that support those classes, like these;
SPARKS can Bond, LWOTC Classes Pack, Proficiency Class Pack

I made standard game Fortress grant immunity to every type of elemental damage. You can revert this change in the config files (XComGameData), just comment out/remove the extra lines.

By default the mod makes the Immolator and Cryolator have a slighter wider spread, I found this to be much better whilst testing the class. I also make Fumigate and Medispray not turn ending and enable them to affect the user.
I make a change that chemthrower attacks do not give a friendly fire warning, this can be toggled in the config files.

Most values are changeable in the config files.

Includes art work and text for the UFOPedia

• Configure Upgrade Slots . This mod will mean that you will not be able to attach 'normal' weapon upgrades to chemthrowers, they can use the special made attachments instead. Allowed attachments for chemthrowers have now changed, making this issue obsolete.
  
• Special Chemthrower attacks (like Fumigate, Medispray and Fulmination) all take their cone sizes from the 'Immolator' config, if you use other chemthrowers the cone might not match
  
• Sometimes visualization of some chemthrower abilities glitches out, they still work functionally but don't display a stream jet. Mostly prevalent with canister activations.
  
• Any soldiers made before the 24 March 2020 Update will need to be rebuilt to gain the new tree. I suggest using the RebuildSelectedSoldiersClass command found in Additional Console Commands
  
• Ability To Slot Reassignment Config file for this mod fixes up the Launch Grenade ability to only appear if the soldier has a Grenade Launcher. however it also currently has a minor UI issue that creates 'double abilities' on the HUD. These abilities share the same charges/use/grenade ammo and do not effect actual gameplay.
  
• Also works with New Promotion Screen By Default if you don't want to use the awesome updated version...

It's pointless/not required in RPGO, the base Immolator mod has all required RPGO Specs
Sorry, not happening for Vanilla/LW2

Mitzruti for creating the mod that gave me the inspiration to put this together.
Iridar and RealityMachina whose code I borrowed/studied for the ammo lockout.
Shiremct for the Proficiency Class Packs I learned so much from, which now have its own dedicated Field Alchemist

The XCOM2 and MEME Modders discord for continual support.

Has some icons adapted from Ketaros's Pack , some other imagery provided by NelVlesis.

This is my first modded class, I hope you find it well constructed and balanced to play with.

~ Enjoy !! and please buy me a Cuppa Tea[www.buymeacoffee.com]
