Ballistic mod

Description
Description:
============
The main motivation behind this mod is the overuse of hitscan weapons. Sure,
they are easy to implement, but they lack realism. A bullet is a material
particle, having a finite speed and a finite mass. Therefore, a bullet needs
some time to reach a target. Also the shooter should aim higher to make sure
that his bullets will reach the target.
Also you will be able to use meelee weapons also as projectiles, ie: throwing
knifes, or throwing the spear (predator), or use the disc to slash oponents
(meelee weapon).
Silenced weapons were added, and the single player weapon sets were changed so
that these added weapons can be seen in the vanilla campaigns, ie: in the
\"Betryal\" marine mission.
No, you do not get any character skins on this mod. The focus for this mod is
weapons, not character skins.

The following changes were done:

(affected by gravity and having a finite velocity)

- regular pistol
- shotgun
- the knife can be thrown (ALT-FIRE; the throw can be charged)
- the shotgun can use in adition rubber bullets, to stun enemies

300 rounds of ammo and has a stronger recoil

Known issues:
=============
- repeated change of character type under MP may lead to a crash to desktop
- the hud may load the wrong images
- the weapon counter for the silenced pistol doesn\'t work with the silencer
removed
- removing the silencer then selecting another weapon results (when selecting
the pistol again) in having the pistol with the silencer on but acting
un-silenced.
- the blue sparks from the energy device are tinted with ambient light.
