Change Log:
1.1 (4th July 2016)
- Fixed Sentinels aiming for the gap below the weapons of other Sentinels, and thus forever missing each other.
- Fixed Sentinels sometimes hanging around for a while after their owner leaves the game.
- Fixed upgrade sounds all playing at once for other players' Sentinels when they are first sighted.
- Fixed Disturber projectile effects remaining if the projectile hits something immediately on firing.
- Fixed aiming algorithm so Sentinels are less likely to fire at targets they can't hit, or fire at empty space next to the target.
- Reduced idle rotation sound volume.
- Changed the CPU upgrade to improve targeting more noticably.
- Changed Sentinel AI to be more willing to switch targets if the current target is dodging everything.
- Slightly increased small pulse cannon (ceiling Sentinel) fire rate, and gave it a little bit of spread.
- Increased grenade damage, radius and speed. Decreased fuse time.
- Increased flamethrower damage radius, and decreased the bounciness of the flames.
- Relaxed the surface angle restrictions for deploying ceiling Sentinels, allowing them to be placed on vertical walls.
- Changed upgrade menu to apply the selected upgrade when the enter key is pressed.
1.0 final (25th July 2009)
- Fixed MultiMortar shells not cloaking.
- Fixed a bug that occurred when a player reconnected to a server.
- Added "Sentinel Deployer Ammo Regen" mutator.
1.0 beta 11 (10th December 2008)
- Imported custom model for MultiMortar (by Warby).
- Changed Surveillance Module camera image to always be drawn upright.
- Fixed Scan Angle Limiter configuration arrow thingy not being hidden when configuration menu was closed due to moving too far away from the Sentinel.

1.0 beta 10 (4th November 2008)

- Improved modability (especially the ability to add custom shells to the Multi-Mortar via mutators).
1.0 beta 9 (1st October 2008)
- Enabled parallax mapping on the Sentinel models.
- Added mutator configuration menus.
- Fixed upside-down Sentinels rotating incorrectly when returning to idle state.
- Fixed Sentinels sometimes pointing the wrong way after landing.
- Changed Scan Angle Limiter configuration arrow thingy to explicitly indicate scan angle centre, and also to be visible through the Sentinel so it doesn't become obscured from some viewing positions.

- Increased Minigun damage.

- Fixed crash when a Fury fires at a Sentinel (this still causes log errors though).

- Fixed Deployer crosshair with "simple crosshairs" turned on.
- Reverted a bug introduced in beta 7 that prevented instant-hit weapons from firing through the shield (Minigun, Pulse-to-Link Converter).

- Changed Mesh Network upgrade to keep Sentinels focused on the broadcast target even if they haven't seen it for a long time.

- Changed positions of buttons in upgrade menu.
- Added configurable Scan Angle Limiter upgrade (requires CPU upgrade).
- Fixed minimap scale being affected for custom maps where the mapper didn't manually set a MapExtent value.
1.0 beta 6 (13th August 2008)
- Fixed Deployer not having a default priority set (was causing it to automatically become high priority).
- Fixed Deployer being selected weapon when spawning in multiplayer games.

- Changed the various MaxCannon options to be ignored completely if they are set to 0.
