Map changes

Cyclopean

• Tweaked lighting and HDR skybox textures to fix issues with over-shiny textures.
• Removed env_sun entity as the Skybox texture has a prominent sun already and this was making it appear to have 2 suns.
• Tweaked fog color as it was a little too bright.
• Changed HDR auto-exposure settings min 0.2 -> 0.3 / max 0.5 -> 0.6
• Embedded vmt files to override envmaptint for certain hl2 textures in use in the level. (Reduced their reflectivity)

Other changes

• Added a default lights.rad file for use by map makers.

Discord rich presence example

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where walls were not being removed correctly, causing servers to reach the entity limit very quickly.
• Fixed an issue with the BE commander model & BE APC model which made the bounding box appear incorrectly in command view.
• Fixed scout hide not being removed when the last bullet in the scout's gun is fired.
• Re-enabled and fixed a number of the achievements. (Hopefully all of them)

Script/Game Balance

• Removed the armour penetration effect to vehicle damage
  • (Previously taking more than 30 damage at once, would mean the armour will take 90% of the damage and the hull will take 10%. This has now been removed.)

Other changes

• Players can now join any squad through the menu without having to join them sequentially.
• Updated PBR shader with latest changes. - https://github.com/thexa4/source-pbr
