It fixes some bugs.

What Bugs It Fix?
Glad you asked.

Screenshots
Idk how to screenshot the lack of bugs, so here's the VC icons.

Modding Notes
We had to change some files to get these fixes in. The spoiler has a detailed report of everything replaced and why.

Preface
The following files have been replaced by this wad.
If your mod replaces them too, it will break.
Feel free to implement the fixes yourself. Unless otherwise noted, all changes are noted with a " // $MISC" comment within the file itself.

Fix for the "soft crash" related to ACS Damagers.

Root cause: Edge cases in the Hazard frag credit system caused infinite recursion.
Fix: Don't process hazard credit under circumstances where it can happen infinitely.
Files changed:
- actors/basicactors.txt - Reason: Reduce response time from BasicACSDamager.
- acs/ACTRUTIL - Reason: Reduce response time from BasicACSDamager.
- acs/HZRDCRED - Reason: Prevent Hazard credits from calling recursively.
Fix by Jax.

Fix for Rush Marine appearing in maps without water when randomizer enabled.

Root cause: Rush Marine's map validity flag was always true with core defs enabled.
Fix: Check for "MM8BDM_Water" actors before marking the item as map valid.
Files changed:
- acs/COREITEM - Reason: Prevent Rush Marine from being mapvalid when water is not present.

How to Host

What happened to v1?
I'm sure he's fine.

v6b WeapFixes (v1)
Patch for MM8BDM v6b

Presently this just fixes vanilla weapons use of the "core_player" property stacker scripts to use ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult instead of ACS_NamedExecuteAlways. This helps clean up some interactions with other items.
This would be rolled into miscfixes wad, but I figure weapon files are ripe for replacement by some mods that would want to add special functionality to CopyWeps.
