[MULTIPLAYER-BETA] v2024.10.2

There are still a lot of languages that have not fully been translated, if you wanna help out you can do so here: https://crowdin.com/project/fireworks-mania


### Added
- Added the ability to invite and join friends via Steams Friends list
- Added new language Belarusian

### Changed
- Updated credits with new translator names
- Updated translations
- Tweaked reverb zones in Town, City, Ranch and Flat to try and find a better setting for each map
- Upgraded to Vivox 16.5.2

### Fixed
- Fixed (maybe) issue where muffling of voice chat wouldn't work suddenly. If just one player did a /reconnect it worked for all again. Hope I fixed that now so it works all the time. However, I didn't know how to recreate the bug, so made some changes that I think could have an positive impact on this.
- Fixed scrollview bug by reverting to an earlier version of InputSystem, will try and upgrade again later where they hopefully fixed it

[MULTIPLAYER-BETA] v2024.9.4

### Added
- Added back a Credits UI in the MainMenu as we had in the old UI
- Added a text in Settings->Game to inform about translation of the game + added a button to take you directly to Fireworks Mania on Crowdin to help translate the game, if you want

### Changed
- Upgraded to Unity 2022.3.47
- Removed the lensflare on the security light in Town and Ranch, it looks a bit wack
- Updated Enviro Sky package, this is the one handling all the weather, day/night, skys etc.
- Changed the look of the flashlight beam to look at bit better
- Added more translated text in the game and translators have updated for various languages already. You can help out too if you want: https://crowdin.com/project/fireworks-mania
- Changed the UI for the News section in the MainMenu, it now only shows this changelog with bigger font. This is the place to look to see what changed in the various versions
- Changed the position at where sound is being heard from. Before it was always from the cameras point of view. This works great in many scenario, however, we already had pretty many times talked to someone in game, that didn't answered because they were in M-mode, meaning the camera was far away. Now the "ears" of the game is always at the players head position

### Fixed
- Attempt at fixing a low fps build with DarkCloudy weather and Ultra Quality settings after Enviro Sky update
- Fixed fallback language for Finnish and Swedish, if a text was not translated if would not fallback to English, but show a long error message instead. Now it falls back to English when a text string is missing translation, like it goes for all other languages
- Fixed bug where all sounds was "double" turned down. This meant all sounds were playing a bit lower volume than they should and it was especially audioable for sounds that was already at lower volume. It all sounds better now
- Fixed issue where some items and especially characters were looking "wet/shiny" in some maps
