v1.6 - Major Update - Features/bug fixes/tweaks:
The reload system now uses a total bullet pool instead of discrete magazines - so you don't lose unspent rounds when reloading
Remaining bullets are now automatically added to current weapon magazine at the start of each new level
Initial projectile weapon pickups (pistol, rifle, sniper) now come fully locked and loaded - no need to reload before using first time
Fixed hellfire not disappearing after defeating Behemoth in the hangar level
Ghouls now have randomly assigned starting speeds (within a given range)
Improved enemy pathfinding with a new node-based navigation mesh system
Fixed ghoul blocking player from exiting toilet in train_1b - player can now easily push ghoul back in order to get out of toilet
Fixed one of the spiders getting stuck after spawning in the tunnels level
Fixed slowdown when enemy wave is triggered in bomb_shelter_2
Tweaked level train_1 and combat with Dragan

V1.5 - Major Update:
Player can now move in while sniping
Fixed game controls input rebinding screen not showing sniper mode on/off key/gamepad bindings
Fixed in-game help screen not showing sniper mode key/gamepad bindings
Fixed bug where gamepad was being detect at all times (even when not connected) - now in-game help will show either keyboard or gamepad help based on the device type that the last pressed key/button belongs to
Fixed critical logical bug in train_1_b where ghoul was not spawing as condition depended on datura being picked up with the pistol. Now ghoul will spawn when only pistol is picked up, so if player uses datura before pickup up pistol, the ghouls still spawns.
Fixed bug where nightvision datura mode did not replenish stamina when used. Now using datura in "special mode" i.e., nightivison mode, will also restore stamina back to 100%.
"Cycle Enemy Forward" and "Cycle Enemy Backward" instructions have been renamed to "Next Target" and "Previous Target" for better understanding
Increased rotation speed when moving. Otherwise when standing still and with an armed projectile weapon, rotation speed is reduced to allow for better aiming accuracy.
Increased hematogen and kvas HP restore values
To prevent player cheesing Hangar level boss (Behemoth) by standing platform and hiding behind boxes while shooting, hellfire is now activated on the upper level platform if the player is there for too long.
Fixed bug where on certain levels (finale, trainyard), players rocket would explode in front of them if they launched it while moving.

All weapons are now automatically armed - no need for manual arming anymore
Trigger button has been re-purposed as additional free button on gamepad

Updated auto-aiming so that player can move now freely in any direction regardless of locked-on target direction

Added momentary red tinting of player mesh when receiving damage
Bullets do a little more damage to player if they hit them while Datura is active

Footstep sounds now disabled when rotating
Update stamina recharging to allow continuous use from 45% recharge value
Added continuous line-of-sight validation during target locking when using auto-aiming
Reduced reticule opacity when running so it doesn't distract the player too much
Fixed bug with tank bullet occasionally spawning inside players tank if they shot while moving tank forward
