[Compatibility] v0.19.5

This patch addresses incompatibility with zero-k's latest version.
Please note that all version prior to this version are no longer supported.

UI

• Added a warning message when an AI is going to be inactive.

Bug fixes:

• fixed compatibility with base game (custom cmds needed updating)
• fixed a bug where newtons were instantly removed from newton AI handler. (caused by a fix made in RC4)
• fixed some complaints about subprojectiles in regards to a WIP commander weapon.

[Minor] 0.19.1

Purifier:

• Dgun changed to a mix of cluster bombs and purifier beam.

Recon Commander:

• Added Gauss Repeater Rifle.

SLAM:

• Damage: 1512 -> 2000
• Reload Time: 30 -> 16

[Major] 0.19.0: AI handicap, Vulcan, and more

In this version, we're starting to impact game play and looking into expanding on gameplay modoptions. Purifier (Krow) is set to receive a new dgun in this version, so stay tuned for that. Some new janky units have been made (always fun) and some missing firepower has been added in the form of Vulcan. Thank you for all the players who helped test V0.19 during the PTS team games!

Often times it feels that the AI has been too easy or gimped by FW changes. It faces a world it doesn't understand. To compensate for this, I've added a new feature: AI_ResourceCheat, which will be expanded on this version to allow for "handicaps". Handicaps allow for players to set resource handicaps such that new scenarios like 8v1 could be viable.
