"can't decide if I prefer left or center alignment edition"
​

Extended OTA Alyx Voicelines
- Added extended voicelines for the three phases supplied by @ovxy

NLR
- Added a reworked variant of the WW3RP NLR plugin, along with /CheckNLR command

New Character Inventories
- Citizens now spawn with a bag instead of a suitcase (who carries a suitcase in places like this?)
- Citizens now spawn with a random set of clothing

Crafting
- Charcoal can now be stacked

Bug Fixes
- Fixed the armor bar not showing correctly when your maximum armor is a value other than 100
- Fixed various weapon inventory icons (and probably broke some others)
- Fixed food and drinks not giving correct amounts when slurping

Performance or: How I learned to hate the weapon bases
So this has been the main focus of my time recently, hopefully performance has increased recently (compared to the first couple weeks on this map). Still looking into this as it's a never ending chase, but give me a shout if there is any issues.

Currently one other factor seems to be the source engine issue of servers beginning to lag after 6 hours of uptime - the past two days there was also a trial of restarting at 5pm before pop ramps up to hopefully last into the night, which may be worth continuing if the benefit is noticeable.
