v1.39b

Added:
- Yet another ladder system prototype. This time we have strafing again,
but keep the jump+left/right ladder leap. The physics are custom and
much smoother than the old way, much easier to exit/enter ladders, and
no more position warping. There are also some leg/up down movements for
the player models now.
- Grenade pickups can now be shot to explode, although take 3x as much
damage as primed grenades to do so. Only available on HE and Napalm
grenades.

Changed:
- Lowered amount of blood effects spawned, for performance
- Reduced maximum spawned bullet shells, for performance
- Switched bullet shells to cylinder collision, for performance
- Optimized all hit effects, now require one less spawned actor
- Optimized dynamic light firing triggers on 3rd person weapons
- Reduced time period of dynamic lighting on grenades, for performance
- Reduced particle count on several other ingame effects, for performance
- Made newer, better-performing bullet splash effects
- Improved the angle and orientation of bullet water splashes
- When the person you are spectating is killed, you will be temporarily
switched to 3rd person to watch his/her death
- Both teams receive $50 less per round
- Army Cross now awards $1000 instead of an AP for balance reasons
- Both Silver Star and Army Cross can no longer be received in a 1v1, for
balance reasons
- Darkened colors on wood impact effects
- Improved random viewpoint selection when first joining server
- Lowered sound volume on snow bullet impacts
- Default IRC channel and server now point to the mod's

Fixed:
- Fixed ladder deaths
- Fixed spectator camera lock after just joining a game
- Fixed missing "Allow 3rd Person Spectating" text in game rules setting
- Fixed "when spectating a poisoned player poison indicator stays into the
next round"
- Fixed IRC settings not saving after being changed, this appears to be
a UT2004 issue

Maps:
- New MIS-Backdoor objectives
- All maps with ladders updated
