Updated murdock_air8 to resolve missing assets.
Updated dragon_girl to resolve missing assets.
Updated money_is_dead4_2 to resolve missing assets.

FIXES:
Finally fixed the "White Bug", in which props and textures would turn blindingly white.
Fixed many crashes related to video playback.
Fixed broken audio issues.
Fixed issues where the game would not launch on Linux.
Fixed file mounting issues preventing certain assets from loading at random.
Fixed issue with VGUI not rendering properly.
Fixed VGUI depth so the main menu now properly appears behind VGUI menus.
Fixed controller config not executing when enabling it in the options menu.
Fixed controller weapon selection.
Fixed a few models and textures.
Fixed a crash with the error material being destroyed too early on shutdown.
Fixed a crash where AI squads tried to gather their teammates when they do not exist.
Fixed rare crash where the player tries to check if they are in a ship but it doesn't exist.
Intro video and game should now run on Linux via proton.
Restored config files for gamepad support.
Removed faulty Cinema library (it was in-fact, not cinema).
That's a lot to read through we're aware, so the highlights here are:
Vastly improved game performance and stability
Controller support on everything but the menu
Functionality on Linux via Proton
Fixed the white prop bug
