Changes and Improvements

Widened Scanline Receiver default window size so that the image fits the window under Internet Explorer 7.
A new Merovingian-affiliated NPC near Uriah SW directs new players east, where they'll find new enemies waiting for them below ground, and new rewards.
Lowered dungeon boss group respawn time from 20 minutes to 10.
The bluepill to be escorted in Zion archive mission 1.2.10 is now slightly higher level, and the ambush that spawns between the two phases now targets the player rather than the bluepill.
Dungeon loot has had resistances added where necesssary to bring the items in line with other CR2.0 items. As part of this rebalance, two levels have been added back to the required character level for Richland and Westview dungeon loot items, and the Creston Heights items have been raised from character level 40 to character level 50.
/random can now be used with two natural number parameters to specify a range.
Tiger Master Coat/Gi buff is no longer removed by negative condition sweeps or antibiotics.
