Ebon Hawk Armband 1.0.5

Time for me to see if this works if installed after boarding the Hawk at the Polar Academy. SCIENCE!

Update: Yes, yes it does.

A few of things to note.

1. The instructions could be better-worded, and need to make note of an important step. Perhaps something along the lines of "Before starting, back up globalcat.2da and spells.2da from your Override folder if they exist there. After backing them up, start the install by running the TSLPatcher first. Then depending on whether you're running TSLRCM alone, TSLRCM + M4-78EP, or TSL vanilla, copy over the globalcat.2da from the appropriate folder to your Override folder."

2. You forgot to update the info.rtf; it's still based on your Reveal Map armband.

3. This doesn't replicate the "Return to Ebon Hawk" feature from K1 exactly; that feature warped you to the module the Hawk was parked on and spawned you a short distance from the boarding ramp instead of directly aboard the ship. Would it be possible to achieve this in a future version? In any case, this difference might bear noting in the mod info.

Ah thanks for the heads up on all of these, I should definitely go about fixing all of this at some point.

I think I had to make some allowance for an edge-case where things would go wrong when spawning on the ship, I can't actually remember the exact details now.

v1.0.2 should be near perfect, let me know if you discover any issues with it.
