Replacing the sound for Darkside special weapon.

Performed experiments to replace Darkside and Thumper special weapons, which is pretty interesting. Replacing special weapons will also require replacing the sounds of special weapons.

Personally I don't think this change is necessary, but quite a few people asked for more lives - here you go, 5 instead of 3. The interface displaying the number of lives with dots has been changed to display with numbers. The interface texture itself has not changed, there will be small transparent areas, because the interface texture is in the textures of each of the levels and to remake them properly I will have to do a utility disassemble and reassemble the textures of the level, which at the moment seems like an irrational waste of time.

AI firing of Rain and Speed weapons have been replaced by Fire and Napalm, respectively. With Rain everything is simple - this useless thing can be just ruthlessly thrown out, but with Speed missiles there are questions - probably it makes sense to add them when the AI fires from a machine gun, just as they are used by the player...

AI can use ricochets now. In the original game, the AI cannot use ricochets. There were concerns that the use of ricochets for the AI was disabled due to bugs, but testing didn't reveal any obvious issues. Apparently it's just a mistake (“copy-paste” error). Something looks like they are sometimes square, but I don't remember how it was in the original.

Fixed Calypso's speech in Tokyo (when Primeval appears).

VicariousNick suggests not changing Calypso's speech about Auger, for fun, maybe so, but we should figure out the cause of the problem.

Music has been added to the Warehouse arena.

Hi.

Started work on the project of modification of TM3 game.

Rough list of tasks for the next TM3 mod release:

* Add music playback in the Warehouse arena;

* Fix Calypso's speech in Tokyo (when Primeval appears);

* AI should use ricochets;

* Fix game hangs when completing the game for Primeval and Darkside;

* Replace Rain and Speed weapons for AI (Fire and Napalm?);

* Balance corrections;

* Interface fixes for 3 and 4 player games (remove black lines);

* Final cutscenes should be displayed regardless of difficulty level;

* Fix the password system for Darkside and Primeval (if possible);

* On one of the game screens add information about the modification (author, build date, etc.).
