API Notes (for mod makers):
- Added IsBigLevel bool param (defaulted to False) to TNH_Manager. Modders should enable this if they want big-level mode for their map
- Added UsesClassicPatrols bool param (defaulted to True) to TNH_Manager. Modders who wish to use MANUALLY AUTHOR sentry patrol points can set this to false, which will cause a new system called Sentry Patrols to be used.
- Added New Class: TNH_SentryPatrolPointGroup, which is a container for a group of points.
- Added New State information to Sosig class for future use (shouldn’t change anything atm)
- IsBigLevel flag adds 30 seconds to initial ‘analyzing’ step for all Hold Phases
