XCOM Psionics Overhaul V3

Bringing back psions, XCOM 1 style. No longer do you train psionic operatives as rookies - upon building a psi lab, any of your operatives can test positive for psionic potential and learn psionic abilities.

Please Note: This is the most recent, and currently supported, version of Psionics Overhaul v2. Like most mods, this is basically a working beta. I've tested to make sure abilities (particularly damage) do work, but there is always the risk I missed something. Please see the Known Issues sections for more details on oddities I have seen or have been noted in previous versions.

Fixes incompatibility issue with Psionics Ex Machina.

Psi Operative is no longer a separate class that needs Rookies to be trained.

Instead:

• Play normally, leveling up your operatives through missions.
  
• Build a Psi-Lab and enter it and some of your operatives will be revealed to be secretly psionically gifted!
  
• Throw them in the psi lab and they'll become psions.
  
• Learn psionic abilities alongside regular leveling
  
• Now includes a dedicated inventory slot for Psi-Amps so all classes can use psionics.
  
• Just like X-COM 1's Psionics! (kinda)

• DO NOT INSTALL THIS (OR UPDATE FROM AN OLDER VERSION) IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME
  
• DO NOT REMOVE THIS MOD IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME
  
• CUSTOMIZATION - Check the config files! There are many, many options to configure the psionic abilities available, required regular soldier ranks, and much more!
  
• OVERRIDES: XCom_HeadquartersPsiTraining. So Psi Lab will likely be broken if you remove this mid-campaign.
  
• Psions replace base game Psi Operatives, as the Psi Lab has been completely repurposed.

• YES, YOU CAN USE THIS WITH RPGO! - Heck, I tested this mod with it enabled.
  
• PROBABLY SHOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH LWOTC, BUT I'M TOO LAZY TO TEST AND DEFINITIVELY TOO LAZY TO SUPPORT IT
  
• Class Mods: This mod uses an editable blacklist to prevent certain soldiers from being psionic rather than a whitelist, so almost all class mods should be compatible with this mod!
  
  • Note: Chimera Classes and Chimera Heroes are the only mods I know that have configurations barring certain classes from being psions (their psionic and templar respectively).
• Other Psionic Mods: Generally speaking, as long as they don't touch the Psi Lab, they'll be compatible. RPGO specializations in particular are fine. Do note that any new abilities in these mods will need to be added to the config files.
  
• Inventory Slot Used: eInvSlot_PsiAmp

Many things! The mod has been given a facelift to avoid touching as many things in code as possible for better compatibility and new mechanicisms added for further expandability (user or otherwise).
See the discussion thread entry on Jun 18 for more details!

• No More PsiAmps - This mod no longer creates its own invisible psiamps, so use this mod if you don't want psi-amps to be visible!
  
• Psionic Melee - The mod is configured to allow these shard gauntlets in the psi-amp only slot.

New to this version! Inspired by RPG Overhaul, this version of the mod now includes a system in which new Psionic Classes can be defined and randomly assigned to your troops.
To showcase this, I've created a few plugins that change or add to the psionic classes:

• Expanded Psionics - Using Bstar's Expanded RPGO Psionics as a base, this expands the power selection available to your Psi Operatives!
  
• Biotics - RealityMachina's excellent Biotic class, now in Psionic form!
  
• Chaplin - Mitzruti's fantasic healing/support class, now... also in Psionic form!

I may create more plugins in the future, but know that do to current limitations, classes that use unique Primary Weapons (such as the Necromancer) aren't really possible.

[KNOWN ISSUES]

• Psionic gear mods - Any mod that creates gear that only Psi Operatives can use (such as ADVENT Warlock) won't be available to Psions. I'm working on a coded solution for this, but you can always modify the XComClassData config files to change what classes can use the equipment and then just only give it to Psions. Any special Psiamps can be equipped just fine, though.
  
• Psiamp Slot - Do note that the Psi-amp slot sometimes just will not autoequip a psi-amp. Be sure to check that a soldier has a psi-amp equipped before sending them off on a mission or covert operation!

Due to the changes in the backend of this mod, some of these may be fixed, but it's a good idea to be aware these issues may still crop up:

• Chosen Avenger Assault - The old verison of Psi Overhaul was known to sometimes crash the game when this mission came up. Many reported that it was a conflict between Psi Overhaul and Quick Soldier Info.
  
• Weird Animation Issues - Sometimes using psionics rarely caused some... rather bendy animations to happen. This mod doesn't touch any abilities at all, so I'm not 100% sure why this would happen!
  
• Disable Random Posters - Users have reported that enabling the old version with this mod caused the game to crash on mission start/finish.

ForcePsiGiftReroll - Rerolls ALL non-psions in your barracks, giving a second shot at being a psion
ForcePsiGiftForSelectedSoldier - Enter the armory, select a soldier and enter this command to force them to be a psion.
ForcePsiClassForSelectedSoldier psi_tree_name - Similar, but forces the soldier to use a given psionic class. (only useful if you are using some plugins). Can be used to change a psion's class, but will not remove any abilities already learned, reset rank, nor add any starting abilities! Use it for that purpose at your own risk.
ResetPsiAbilityOptionsForSelectedSoldier - Rerolls the soldier's list of abilities to pick from for their next psi training session.
