Custom Playstyle Presets

1.5 Updated! Have fun in the new expansion!

--Description--

Finally a way to re-create your favorite set of storyteller settings without having to adjust sliders and remember preferred values every single time!

This mod adds the ability to save named "Presets" which you can select from a menu once saved.
Save mods by clicking "Custom" under the storyteller settings, editing them to your preference, then hitting save.

The created presets show up both under the "Custom..." option itself! (As shown in picture 2) as well as in the select-able list near it (which populates once you've saved more than one)

Another way to use this mod would be to have a storyteller preference for when you want raids, action, violence, and instant death friendly fire high etc for later colonies and a (much easier) setting for beginning them.
Mix & match as you go and have a set of favorites.
Possibilities are endless as the storyteller settings are not tied to the starting and can easily be changed mid-playthrough.

***IMPORTANT***

There is an easily fixable visual bug upon certain use cases for this mod and I'll upload two videos right here at the top to help people visually see how to use this mod.

1: *If you not are in the habit of landing and going back to menu to re-roll without closing the game you can ignore this and enjoy the mod*
2: *If in doubt, and you have a saved custom preset, just save wherever you are and quit to desktop then re-launch and everything will work*

45 second video on how to re-create (and also FIX) this silly visual error (fix at ~35): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S12ywjmzTc

If you can't/are unable to use Youtube here is a simple idea of the bug and how to trigger it then fix it:
1: Create (a) preset(s)
2: Land on your colony tile
3: Quit immediately to main menu
4: New game, ***SELECT ANYTHING OTHER THAN YOUR PRESETS!!!***[I.E. "Peaceful" or Community Builder"] (or the first you select will be reset to default vaules)
5: Select a preset, click on the circle next to it, then again for any other ones as much as you want in/out of game you've successfully defeated the bug!

--DISCLAIMER--

I did NOT do *any* coding whatsoever for this mod, the workshop (filler, stock image) art, or the font. The font I got off tynan's forums as the "official" text, and used paint to edit it (poorly) into my mod's image preview text.

The coding was done by the extremely talented Taranchuk! Please check them out if you ever need help with modding, as someone who has never commissioned a mod before it was top notch. You can commission mods (quickly and easily) here at this handy link below:

--Compatibility--
*Should* work with any other mod that doesn't do some weird voodoo with the storyteller UI/settings, it definitely works great with all the VFE storytellers I've tried it with in 1.2 and 1.3 so far.

Does it work with CE? (I'd imagine so it only affects storyteller settings)

Should be working perfectly for 1.3: I was mostly using this selfishly but upon having to briefly use the vanilla engine, and having to re-do my sliders for the hundredth time upon adding/subtracting/troubleshooting mods as they became updated I had to do something about it and Taranchuk was kind enough to update it. There may be bugs, I would like to lie to you and say I can fix them but I can't -- they would probably be able to but it would be at their leisure so please let me know about any bugs encountered.

(Also, it was working phenomenally for me on 1.2 and I'm seeing a folder for that in here so it should still work for that!)
