Organosphere V0.9.5.4

A new improved A.T.V., a new grenade launcher attachment and many bug fixes, optimizations & game improvements.

1. Added new Grenade Launcher weapon attachment making the new total amount of different possible weapon combinations 72. Limited to 3 grenades per level/life session.
2. New improved Quad Bike 3D Model as well as improved ATV animations, IK and driving.
3. Removed colliders on some small bushes which made driving the ATV/Bike in certain areas a nightmare.
4. Fixed issue of being able to bring up vehicle spawner while already on a vehicle.
5. Added option to disable post processing for better performance and a brighter image. [If desired]
6. Made nature reserve always accessible after soil & water mission not only during and after campaign completion. Enemies will also respawn here every time, which can be used to a players advantage for point farming just as all insect enemies respawn throughout the game currently.
7. Added FPS settings to set desired framerate or uncapped FPS. To use this feature use the new "Target Framerate" button in the options menu to select between 30FPS,60FPS and Un-Capped FPS for as fast as your GPU will allow. NOTE: This will only work if VSYNC is turned off. Otherwise the game will attempt to sync to your monitor refresh rate and ignore the target framerate. Use VSYNC only if you are experiencing screen-tearing.
8. Further shotgun audio improvements.
9. Made "Low" graphics setting display textures at 1/4 resolution for older PC's struggling to get above 30FPS. Also made further optimizations for this quality level. [Not recommended for modern systems as it might look really bad but worth it for older laptops with less than 2GB memory etc.]
10. Fixed logo and other textures from lowering in quality when game graphics quality is lowered.
11. Fixed the last remaining compiler warnings.
12. Slight main gun reload animation improvements.
13. Fixed some problematic mesh colliders that were causing console issues.

16. Removed some unnecessary models from the city that weren't adding anything of value the scene.
17. Fixed some low resolution textures on main weapon.
18. Changed god mod cheat code to something easier to type. [Available only on request.]

27. Fixed issue of secondary weapon attachments such as flamethrowers/shrink/freeze rays etc. being hardcoded to left mouse button instead of binded to player custom control choices.
