New Scav Clouds, Lights Update adapted for Scavenger units and more!

AI Namer has been updated, fixing the names RNG, and making donators and contributors names appear more often

Hello again to all <@&1251086136521130016>s, Legion just received a new set of floating turret models. This has no impact on balance or general gameplay for now.

To all <@&1251086136521130016> out there, the Cacophony has been remastered and it has a floating version now.

Extra Units have been split into Extra Units Pack and Scavengers Units Pack!

New BAR Recoil Engine update brings visual upgrades, gameplay tweaks, and bugfixes. Includes minimap improvements, better pathfinding, and more!

A new tab has been added to the lobby interface for creating/managing parties and accepting/declining invites. This means making parties through the website interface is no longer required. Thanks to MasterBel2 for the contribution.

You can now assign a Random faction selection while in the battle room to either a human or AI player, or Legion if the `experimentallegionfaction` modoption is enabled. Currently SimpleAI is the most functional when assigned to Legion but there is work being done for Barb AIs to make better use of Legion. Read more:

The default balance algorithm will now pick `split_noobs` as the balance algorithm when there is either at least one party, or at least one new player. This will have the effect that parties are now more likely to be respected. `split_noobs` will keep parties together if it can find a combination where team ratings are roughly equal and team standard deviations are roughly equal. The prior algorithm, `loser_picks` , would only keep parties if it could create a counter party of equal size and roughly equal skill and standard deviation. Often it couldn't create a counter party which meant disbanding the original party. If you are still experiencing your party getting disbanded, you can also try the command: `!balancealgorithm respect_avoids` This algorithm keeps parties together if it can find a combination where team ratings are roughly equal. It doesn't check for standard deviation so is even more likely to keep parties than `split_noobs`. It also tries to keep players you are avoiding seperate from you - but avoiding takes lower priority than parties. You can use `$explain` to see what algorithm is being used.
