Meld Alarm (for Long War)

I recommend that you install this mod using Long War Mod Manager (http://www.nexusmods.com/xcom/mods/620/?). Alternatively you can use PatcherGUI 7. 1 or better if you wish. This mod should work on any version of Long War beta 14 or 15.

This mod makes it a bit easier to tell if the Meld is about to expire.

In the standard LW game the meld's throbbing sound gets faster as it's about to expire. It starts with a slow throbbing at first, then changes to a medium throbbing with 2 turns to go, and finally a fast throbbing on the last turn. The medium and fast throbs sound quite similar, so it can be a little tricky determining if the meld's about to expire.

This mod changes the sounds as follows: If there are more than 2 turns left, the meld will be silent (no throbbing sound at all). With 2 turns left, there will be a slow throbbing sound. With 1 turn left the "offscreen meld notification" sound will play once as an alarm, and there will be a fast throbbing sound. It's quite easy to tell the difference between the slow and fast throbbing.
