1 Notable changes

• They Hunger Episode 3 has been included in its entirety.

2 Code

2.1 Game library

• Fixed crash during kick-ban vote while player is not connected.
• Fixed game trying to load "nonexistant.tga" font files on some resolutions like 1366x where the game wouldn't use correct prefix.
• [Voting] Added highlander style check for administrator level instead of simply checking if the target is an administrator or not. (That means an ADMIN_OWNER can vote against an ADMIN_YES.)

2.2 AngelScript

• Added write access to "/store" for both modules.
• Fixed game crashing when attempting to load directory as a file.
• Fixed path exploitation where scripts could go back in folders using "../".

2.3 Engine

• Reverted the removal of ZHLT textures from "barney.wad" and "Opfor.wad" to fix crashing issues in original Blue Shift/Opposing Force maps due to missing hint/skip textures.

• [Uplink] Adjusted medkit, mp5, and 9mmAR clip placement in red container.
• [Uplink] Anyone stuck on top of the elevator can free themselves by shooting the button.
