[Primary Attack]: always double swipe animation, DMG -17%, +ACC [Alternative Attack]: happens when the spear head meets the crosshair (not when the swipe is over - vanilla), +ACC

<<< Single Player >>>
• AI tweaked, more aggressive and challenging, tested only on Hard mode, so I suggest playing on Hard mode with saves by default and on Hardcore (which is now Hard mode without saves) for more of a challenge, you can still play on Normal or Easy difficulty if you wish
• Flamethrower doesn't set AI on fire, because AI died as soon as it caught fire, higher direct damage
• Some adjustments to stop/minimize the Marine player from clipping slightly through the walls, especially sloping ones, which sometimes caused the AI to freeze in place, including the Queen
• Added Ayleia's fix for single player crash (with her permission), there is no need to add AVP2SPFIX.rez to command line if your campaign used to crash in previous VRM versions
