>>>FIXES LIST/CHANGELOG:<<<

60 TICK-SPECIFIC:
- Weapon Firing rates

- High Charity Carrier Forms Drop Fix
- Great Journey Self-Flipping Wraith Fix
- Gravemind Council Chamber Brutes Hacky Workaround (Not a real fix. Meant to mimic Xbox gameplay only.)

VISUAL/AUDIO FIXES:
- Xbox Sound Classes (Stronger gun sounds, more audible footsteps)
- Xbox Pelican Thrusters
- Xbox Radio Filters
- Xbox Sentinel Beam laser beam effect
- Regret's Carrier position on Outskirts fixed
- Snow Fog Fix
- Tree leaves fix (Now done by Cartographer for all alpha_white shaders now)
- OG Xbox Buttons (Separate package)
- Dotless Sniper/Beam Rifle crosshairs (Separate package)

Illuminated shader layering adjustments (seen through geometry):
- While not a complete solution, these adjustments attempt to mitigate the issue significantly.
>grunt_illum.shad
>wraith_boost_illum.shad
>wraith_self_illum.shad
>plasma_rifle_luminous.shad
>brute_plasma_rifle_luminous.shad

>cov_comm_tower_illum_stream.shad
>cov_holo_gen_illum.shad
>cov_holo_gen_illum_stream.shad
>marine hat.shad
>holo_tex_cam.shad

- Inconsistent
>spectre_illum.shad (Use different values for Uprising, Quarantine Zone, and Great Journey)
>Elite inset_lights.shad (Left out from the main menu, Sacred Icon, which had flickering in the intro cutscene, and Quarantine Zone, which made Elite lights flicker on the Gondola)
>phantom_illumination.shad (Left out from Outskirts/Metropolis/Quarantine Zone/Delta Halo)

Note:
>Elite arm and leg lights are tied to the overall arm and leg shader, and cause layering issues with the entire arm and leg if the added depth bias offset is modified, as only the lights should ideally be modified, not the entire arm and leg. As such, these lights remain untouched.
>If the Battle Rifle display added depth bias offset is adjusted, it can cause z-fighting in first person. It remains unadjusted.
>Adjusting the Rocket Launcher Decal's added depth bias offset either makes it even more visible behind objects, or makes it flicker more.

Light fixes:
>Cartographer shadow_generate workaround - Remove when actual fix possible
>"Tell that to the Covenant" light fix (x01_light_masterchief)
>Hacky workaround for specific Uprising light (dc_toughylight_01) - Remove when actual fix possible
>Hacky workaround for specific Cairo light (ss_elev_gc) - Remove when actual fix possible
>Hacky workaround for Metropolis highway_holo_post.ligh - Remove when actual fix possible
