Fixed some problems with creature calls.

Creature calls should now play close to when their mouth opens during the call sequence, for most creatures.

The player's eating sounds are now full volume for the player.

Movement acceleration works a little differently for the player now.

Turning rates for creatures are now dependent on their size category (Tiny, Small, Average, Medium, Large, or Huge) and body type category (Bulky or Lean).

Turning rates are now also dependent on the creature's current acceleration rate.

The player's footstep sounds can now always be heard by the player and are no longer 3d sounds. The sound files are quieter for the smaller sized creatures.

Footstep sound volume is no longer determined by the size category of the creature, or the growth stage of the creature. I'm already choosing different footstep sounds for the different size category and growth stages of creatures. Now the volume is just set to the maximum and the Unity Engine can handle the volume level based on distance to the camera.

The game has recently undergone a name change and with it came a new directory for the game's save files but since this is using Steam Auto-Cloud you need to manually copy the previous save files into the new directory in order to restore them to your Steam Auto-Cloud for the game.

With the Primeval game closed do the following:

Go to the following folder on your windows drive:
C:/Users/Username/AppData/LocalLow/Exhibyte/IslesOfPangaea

Copy all of the files within that folder.

Then paste them into the Primeval folder (you may need to create it)
C:/Users/Username/AppData/LocalLow/Exhibyte/Primeval

Now when you start the game your save files will be available once again.
