New script command lets you copy maps from different story files. Now you can use maps from the main stories in your own mods. Using the F2 editor you can type "copyMapFrom=Brigand - Oaxaca,2" to copy the 2nd map from the Oaxaca story to overwrite the current map (Freeway 175).

Made it so the "shoot" command will automatically rotate the character to it's target instantly if optional parameter is set to 1, for long-range sniping in AI scripts (again, for modders).

Fixed a couple other bugs, including some major script bugs reported by Skeleport (I think they're fixed). Also Smashzone fixed the UV modding on an unused model for modders to use (building5).

A couple people on Discord are posting screenies of their mods:
