Build 37r2 now available :D

This is a patch release that fixes some bugs and adds a couple of interesting tidbits and possible customizations while I focus on AI.

Notable gameplay changes are the following:

  • You can now press 1,2,3 as a bunny to activate a particular item slot, enabling you to choose which slot will pick up your next item. The idea here is so you can better choose which side to carry that corpse on, and which slot do you want to carry the item to hide the corpse with!
  • If you press 'P' just before subverting, you will insta-buy a drop ship as soon as you subvert, ensuring that the previous robo, and anyone killed by sentries will end up on your new dropship.
  • Walking into robo with corpses now causes a penalty - but with a catch! The penalty will be split between you and the old robot up to your income. So for example: you walk in with -3k worth of corpses, you will both incur a 1500 cent penalty. But if your score upon subverting (+ other objects carried + bonus) is only 1k, you will both only incur a 1k penalty.

enjoy ^_^

here are all the changes:
- fixed subversion penalty still dropping minimum even while power plant is off
- fixed intimidation lighting not properly culled on different quality settings
- fixed broken power plant 'off' sound
- fixed bug where terrain optimization could break on high poly counts, showing empty terrain or no trees.
- fixed bug where it was sometimes possible on subversions for robo to continue shooting on clients on subversions
- fixed bug where an unassigned power plant would not give any feedback to it's malfunction
- bunnies can now press 'flame'(MMB) + 1,2,3 or 'flame' + prev, forward, next to activate a particular inventory slot
- bunnies can now press 1,2,3 to activate a particular inventory slot (when not in the dropship)
- bunnies can press P within 10 seconds to subvert to insta-buy a dropship when they get into robo
- walking into robo with a corpse now causes a split penalty for the corpse between the old and new robo players
- removed the /ptt and /pushtotalk commands, since now they can be used in the gui
- terrain optimizer now leaves the scene much cleaner with hundreds of less nodes
- in-game messages are now also logged to the game log file
- added /rocket & /rockets mod command that gives rockets to all robos
- added /fuel mod command that gives fuel to all robos
- added /battery & /batteries mod command that gives a battery to all robos
