Changelog (since v1.0.3)

Game (Client/Server)
- General
  - [Feature] Implemented a new GM interface (HUD):
    - [LEFT] GM can now see his units, enemies and neutral NPCs as dots on the new overview map (minimap). Clicking on the minimap will move the GM's camera to that location. GM can also issue orders directly on the minimap;
    - [MID] Tooltips that were displayed when hovering over a button (unit spawn, trap) are now shown in a fixed location at the bottom of the screen;
    - [RIGHT] Added buttons to a new order panel. GM can issue stop, move, move-attack and attack orders. A new dynamic cursor will appear when using these commands.
  - [Feature] Implemented a similar overview map for players (simplified version).
  - [Feature] GM can now target individual players when ordering units to attack and attack-move.
  - [Feature] GM can now center his view over an NPC group by double-tapping that group's assigned number.
  - [Feature] Replaced the team selection menu with a system to randomly select a GM every round (with the option to opt in/out of playing as GM).
  - [Feature] Resistance players can only be revived a certain amount of times (defaults to 3), after which they are well and truly dead.
  - [Improvement] When the GM highlights/targets an enemy, a red ring will now appear (and spin).
  - [Improvement] Added an improved method for the GM targeting. The targetable area for each unit is now slightly larger and allows for a certain margin of error.
  - [Improvement] Added a dynamic mouse cursor icon when moving the GM view by using the edges of the screen.
  - [Improvement] Players will now face the direction they died in rather than the direction of the person they are spectating when they get revived.
  - [Improvement] Team panels on the HUD have been removed (Team Overwatch/Team Resistance).
  - [Improvement] Added a "Toggle developer console" option to the Keyboard Options panel for non-US keyboard users to set a new bind.
  - [Improvement] Updated SMG, Shotgun, Metropolice, Repelling Unit Spawn and Explosion button images.
  - [Improvement] Updated the ow.tga icon (used in the Steam library) to a newer, cleaner version.
  - [Improvement] To prevent PCs from exploding, players can now only have a maximum of 100 active units (NPCs) in a map.
  - [Bug Fix] Fixed certain console commands that could potentially cause servers to crash.
  - [Bug Fix] Fixed tooltips randomly appearing when the cursor is not over any buttons.
  - [Bug Fix] Revive panel will no longer get stuck on screen when a round ends.
  - [Bug Fix] The GM can no longer commit suicide with the "kill" command.
  - [Bug Fix] Revive markers will no longer fall through displacements (fixed regression).
  - [Bug Fix] SLAMs can no longer be spawned or equipped (this is only temporary and SLAMs will be readded in a future release).
- Map: ow_breach
  - [Feature] Added a new ambient music track which is unique to Breach.
  - [Improvement] Updated the overview material.
- Map: ow_citadel
  - [Feature] Added a new ambient music track which is unique to Citadel.
  - [Improvement] Updated the overview material.
Updater Utility
- General
  - [Feature] Added a new Updater utility which works inside the game, allowing you to check for updates and download them from within the game (more info soon).
