Brigand: Oaxaca News

[p]Pretty minor update, despite the point oh version number. Mostly fixing stuff for modders, including a bug with teleporting the player immediately after the "dropAll" command and a problem with the "mapShading" command while player has infravision.[/p][p]Also added a command to copy the value of a script variable to another variable, and a boolean to compare two variables (should have had those in the BSL command list a long time ago).[/p][p]Added a 16fps "slow" option available only in the world editor (since slow mo is technically cheating), and reduced the size of the compass in the alt HUD layout so it's not covering the inventory (see screenie).[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Review score dropped because of a disgruntled transphobe. Help get it back to 95%.[/p][p][/p][p]EDIT: Gonna start working on final Brigand BATTLES map this week. Should be ready in 2 weeks max.[/p][p]EDIT #2: Screenie contains unused assets included in previous patch for modders to use.
