1.5 Release Fixes & Tweaks

[N7Huntsman]

Additions

• Add some rotation to ballistic shield when pawn is facing east or west.
• Add ammo to the Anomaly highthrall pawnkind.
• Allow VFE: Security raider heavy artillery to fire tox shells.

Changes

• LoadFolder.xml housekeeping.
• Add 'Castle Walls Reborn' to LoadFolder, slightly increase range of greatbow tower.
• Set shields to render on layer 80, preventing them from rendering in front of weapons.
• Increase the mag count override of the M72 and M79, so pawnkinds spawning with them get a bit more ammo.

Reasoning

• Makes the carrying position of the shield look a bit more natural and less rigid as the pawn is moving.
• Highthrall needs ammo, too.
• Sieges will be supplied with tox shells, so it makes sense to let the raider arty fire them. We don't have a dedicated 155mm tox shell, but the 81mm is sufficient for the task.
• General sanity and cleanliness.
• Easy to do, since JDS version hasn't updated yet. Also, firing from an elevated position should go a bit farther.
• It's not desirable to have shields rendering in front of pawn's weapons.
• Pawnkinds getting the M79 generally only had 12 - 14 shots, usually leaving them with extra space in their inventory. Increasing the override bumps that to 16 - 24.
