Fixed an Unhandle Exception (FileNotFoundException) if an orphan cache item was detected. This usually happened during startup, if you pressed "Continue" you would see some of the entries in your cache, but not all of them.

Added a detection mechanism for orphaned cache items and the option to ...

ONS HUD Mod Suggestion

Has anyone ever considered adding a hud mod for ONS? (This is one of my favorites: ONS *Supreme Hud* v1.04 )

It lets you see the health of the nodes, as well as spotting enemey vehicles (and friendly vehicles) on the maps... if you spot enemy vehicles, they show up briefly on everyone's map, and ...

Lighting in Large Rooms (i.e. December 24th)

I remember a while back we were talking about light map gradient artifacts in large lit maps (Wraith and Bio I think?)

New Installer Released

Woops... Bio and Inspector found a bug with the installer that made it require a version of the .NET Framework that didn't exist :)

I've fixed this, it should now require the .NET Framework 2.0 (which is available through Windows Update and installed by default in most cases... so you shouldn't ...

It turns out that we wouldn't even need a texture array since we can reshade the texture (which was already being done..) I modified this version ...
