- UI and audio
- Balance
LINE OF SIGHT & NPC BEHAVIOUR:
* Adjusted NPC line of sight (LOS) origin points and ensured LOS is always checked before firing. This is to prevent them from shooting the player through walls & should also fix some issues with enemies shooting from tunnels.
* NPC's now are more lethal when under 3m from an enemy soldier.
* NPC's rotating to target closer than 2m now has reduced update speed to decrease crazy rotations very close to target.
SQUAD:
* Squad Hold Fire command (Action menu) has been updated to completely forbid your squad from engaging enemies and a "Squad: holding fire" UI text has been added. Giving other orders to your squad. such as follow orders, will not overwrite the Hold Fire state. It is only disabled by using the Hold Fire command again. This means you have much more control with getting your squad to disengage & retreat with you, rather than focusing on fighting enemies when you want them to not do so.
* The Radio command in the Squad Action Menu now works again.
NPC COLLIDER FIX:
* NPC death animations no longer have a standing collider & the colliders on dead bodies now disappear after 8 seconds!
* Fix to prevent dead bodies not rotated correctly if they died while aiming up at helicopters etc.
* Fix for prone soldiers having standing collider at their feet that only affected players movement collider.
FIRE:
* Bonfires/campfires updated to have a protective collider, forbidding NPC's from walking into them.
* NPC's should now avoid running into Molotov fire and White Phosphorous from hand grenades.
* An NPC touched by another burning NPC will now in most cases not catch fire, but instead panic & flee for a bit.
SKILLS:
* Swimming skill now saves/loads (oopsie).
* Medic skill added & increased max capacity of bandages from 3 -> 4. Medic skill increases bandage, syringe & healing glue capacity by +1 for every 20 levels. You gain XP for it by healing NPC's with glue, medkit (weapon) or by using healing items on yourself. XP modifier is 3x on healing NPC's & 1x on healing yourself, with a 50% chance to gain XP from these actions.

* U.S. big tent armory updated (Colliders, destroyed model).

* The Kolt Commander is now in the U.S. Gun Range and has a 10% chance to spawn on tables in U.S. bases.
* RPD short barrel variant random roll spawn in U.S. Armorer is now way higher odds.
