====================================================

Notes:

This is a beta, but should be relatively bug-free. Please report bugs here: painelements@myway.com

Only English localization is provided, other languages will get errors for objective messages and locations. If anyone wants to provide me with translations for specific languages, I will gladly include them into the final release.

====================================================

-New megatexture
-Added stuff system (grass)
-Fixed Localization errors (English only)
-Added location markers (English only)
-Put details in LOD groups for optimization

-Fixed jumping over fence exploit (for real this time, I swear)
-Redesigned Communication Hubs
-Redesigned front hack objective area
-Move first Strogg spawn back
-Change Strogg respawn time to 25 seconds for hacking phase
-Added sound cue voice-overs for objectives
-Finalized localization
-New megatexture (8192 resolution), but still a crude 10 min job (there's an "invalid surface parm" error at map load).
-Added ambient sound
-Minor detail work
-Some Bot stuff
-Filesize is now 30MB due to new megatexture, but it won't show up black on low shader setting anymore.
