Description
Adds support for two more special abilities on weapons with shift + right or shift + left mouse click.

This mod was created as a base for my other mod: Weapon Retrofitting Station. However, I've decided to make it standalone to allow other modders to create their own weapons without the need to use my other mod.

To make a weapon with more abilities:
1) Add the following key/value to the weapon parameters: 'psnExtendedAbilities': true.
2) Program the abilities in the new slot as you did with primaryAbility and altAbility, but now you can also have shiftPrimaryAbility and shiftAltAbility.

I've added a weapon to test this mod, spawn it with \spawnitem psynyexamplerifle1.
See the weapon script is at: psyny\weapons\ranged
ifle\psynyexamplerifle1.activeitem

COMPATIBILITY:
I've tested this mod with bare game and Frackin Universe with some mods (to see the mods I use look for the Psyny Frackin Universe collection).
If you have Frackin Universe installed YOU HAVE TO INSTALL the Ability Slot Extender FU Patch

UPDATES:
v0.9
-Some abilities are much linked to its base weapon. And many times they can only be put on default alt ability slot.
I've made a change to try to adress the issue. That change may cause other bugs, but they will be solved in time.
In short: if an ability dont works in shift slots, try the traditional alt slot.

it seems having this, weapon Retrofitting station, and the rerelease of this mod by someone else all relate to issues of crashing upon alt-tabbing from the game. i don't have both this and the ability slots rerelease installed simultaneously.

does it work with https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=741491949 the wepon fusion station mod? i LOVE the one-handed broadsword, but using that mod, i cannot use the special ability that i added to it. big sad.

Would have been nice if the description included the actual link so we would not have to hunt it down. Just saying...

So how does this work? Does it just add extra abilities to my current swords (does it break my game because my current swords do not have this?), is there a mod I need that adds extra abilities?

Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't. Last night I was able to use shift primary and shift special abilities jut fine. Today, shift does absolutely nothing. Un and resubbing makes it work again, but it's kind of a chore to do that everytime I load up the game...

It would appear that this no longer works, probably from the update. I checked my error logs but there were no errors related to this mod, just something about the penguin costume and some doors.

I'm getting a crash on the client when trying to use this on a dedicated server. Switching to the broken Protectorate Sword crashes the client out to the main menu.
