Description
Overview
Can be used to swap abilities used in various places in a more automated way by only needing to configure the swaps in this mod's config.

Does nothing without other mods utilizing this one or configuring the mod manually yourself.

Mods using this

Configuration
<Steam>\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\3340369494\Config\XComZelfAbilitySwapper.ini

Configure swaps using a priority system where the first found ability in a list is preferred over the others.

Enable logging to find unknown abilities in soldier classes' perk trees.

Compatibility
Abilities are swapped in item/character/ability/etc. templates and base game configs. Mods utilizing these are supported automatically.

Explicit code support for configs or templates of the following mods:

Notes
Will not swap abilities mid-mission.

Will not swap abilities in existing soldiers' perk trees. Use RebuildSelectedSoldiersClass from Additional Soldier Console Commands for that.

Improvement suggestions welcome as always.

Yeah you can swap any ability with any other ability, and swapping LWOTC abilities back and forth is the main use case. You can actually use Tedster's config as-is to convert LWOTC abilities to LW2 Perk Pack ones, just ignore the LWOTC dependency. All abilities in the same entry will be consolidated to the highest priority (lowest index) one found. RDLC is optional to include, the code still checks that the ability template actually exists before making a swap.

so if i want to switch lwotc perks with perks from other perk packs, i do it like this right?
+AbilityReplacements = (Priorities[0] = (Ability = "F_Maim", RDLC = "WOTC_ExtendedPerkPack"), \\
Priorities[1] = (Ability = "Maim"), \\
)

We can finally have one snapshot to unite them all without microadjusting everything.

That's my plan, at some point...

Yes, and vice versa! Only needs someone to actually sit down and write the configs.

So someone could use this to swap LWotC versions of perks with their non-LWotC counterparts?
