NordInvasion 1.2.0 - Orienteering [up to 1.2.8]

[Kanade Tachibana]

Hello fellow Swadian heroes!

We’re happy to announce to you the 1.2.0 patch: Orienteering!

Many maps were updated thanks to our scene workers, on top of that they’ve worked hard to bring you 4 new maps on top of that. We also added new items, modified the stats of some items and some fancy model changes. Contact Xen if you have any item or model issues as he is stepping in as item developer.

We implemented two new tools for the common Swadian soldier's orientation on the battlefield and in the server list.  One of them is the mini-map. This is a great tool for Swadians to use to help find where the Nords are if they’re missing. It also highlights all anvils, ammo refills, health restores and shrines on the mini-map. (May of slipped in a few extra surprises too :P)

Some forum changes and fixes were put in place including the medals system. We’ll add people's medals back over time.

Code stuff
As noted above, we have added a mini-map which gives Swadian’s the location of enemies on a helpful overlay.
It includes different images for the ammo refill, health restore, anvils and shrine.

To control the mini-map use the following controls:
M - Opens and closes the mini-map.
N - Zooms the mini-map up to 5 times. Makes the player the middle point of the map.

Added a marker for any servers that are passed wave 16.
Once a public server is past wave 16, an asterisk (*) is added to the server name in the server list. For example: NI_Normal_EU2*

Secret stuff.

Minor Issues:

-All cav servers are now running map test maps
-Senuzgda Cavern is wrong map, it is one of the map tests.
-The Forgotten mines is just a big thick unseeable mist with no sceneprops
-Swadian Mines is the halloween Map
-The Forgotten Bay is a big thick unseeable mist with no sceneprops

Many of the maps appear to have been jumbled around and mixed up when i looked in the server hosting option instead of the past original nice alphabetized format.

otherwise nice update.

More Issues:
Plains of Knuarr are not plains of Knuarr, it is Medieval Fields

I think I found a potential cause for the map Issues, there is a map named "would you like to taste the tenderness of my steel?" without it being an actual map you can load in. Nor is it included in the scn object folder with the other maps. Potentially this threw off the other maps with how they are organized. Of course I may be entirely wrong, but its a random unusable and unnecessary file.

Some of the map names did get jumbled. There will be a small update soon to fix them and any other bugs that snuck in.

So it is 1 Issue. Mapnames got a bit messed. It is fixed already, just need to be uploaded.
(No need to list every wrong mapname, as when one has the wrong position, most will have)
