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.)
[Voting] If a percentage required is less than zero this specific kind of vote is disabled.

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 "../".

3 Maps

3.1 Single Player Campaigns

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.
[HL T00] 9mmAR and M16 are now both available in the shooting range, as well as their respective ammunition types.

[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.

[Uplink] Elevator in dish building can now hold 4 - 5 players.
[Uplink] Fixed game_player_equip not giving 9mm ammo, also adjusted ammo given to players.
[Uplink] Removed the func_clip for the exit of the underground pipe area.
[Uplink] Shotgun on weapon rack no longer clips through the wood.
[Uplink] Slightly moved a repelling grunt so he no longer lands on the catwalk in the dish building.
