Hotfix 8
Version 13.0.3

Fixes
- Fixed sfw_alchemy's uncharged projectiles not working.

Update 13 "Stopping Force"
Version 13.0.2

Informations and stuff
- blah, blah, blah, still no flamethrower.
- I'm trying out some more experimental methods with an aim for performance improvements. If you experience sudden and heavy perf drops, please report them.
- Sfw_hwave uses new systems for unified networking as well as a new and probably more efficient collision system for projectiles. This is still in the testing-phase, but should've no negative effect on your gameplay.

Additions
- Added blur effect for zoom (of cause, you can disable it in the options).
- Added shock damage. When used vs. players, it drastically increases damage on shields and may blind the player for a very short period of time. NPCs get stunned and disoriented.
- Added 'Hornet' flechette rifle.
- Added 'Meteor' rocket launcher.
- Added 'Spectra' sidearm.
- Added melee/block ability to sfw_ember and sfw_eblade.

Changes
- Changed recoil math for most of my weapons to match the view kick modifier. (or in other words: The projectiles will more likely spray positively along the top axis.)
- Most weapons will suffer less recoil/spread while zooming.
- The damage type "Entangling Blight" now forces targets to panic upon breaking free from their entanglement.
- Changed sfw_phoenix's scope display to be more in line with the other HS-type weapons.
- Sfw_hellfire has now the same controls as its blizzard counterpart, meaning aim down sights on Mouse2 and altfire on Mouse1 + E.
- Sfw_pandemic's charged shot can now be canceled, by holding down reload (def. R) when releasing Mouse1.
- Sfw_thunderbolt and sfw_pulsar's secondary fire now proc shock elemental. Consider this a huge buff to the thunderbolt as it now can basically stun-lock every NPC in range.

- Fixed some issues with server sided lighting effects.
- Fixed fast melee attacks were always enabled, regardless of "sfw_allow_melee".
- Fixed aim down sights animations not playing correctly when returning to default mode.

Deletions
- Removed the "Remove entities from dissolve index" button, that probably nobody used, from the settings menu... console command still exists.

Base additions, changes and fixes
- Added new elemental effect system. Elemental effects can now be applied with just one line, regardless of SENT or SWEP, instead of a tremendously long bunch of code.
- Added unified networking for SciFiSWEPs. This has been added to the base, but not all weapons use it yet. Support will be added over time.
- Added unified networking for SciFiSENTs.
- Added think rate modifier to projectile base.
- Added more modifiers to sprint animations.
- Changed projectile damage notifier color to a disgusting pink.
- Fixed lua error with damage report system regarding DealDirectDamage().
- Fixed all weapon's using the default sound on dry-fire, even if an individual sound has been defined in that particular weapon.
