• Add FlameThrowerHiss sound to base Combat Extended, instead of having it in CE Guns.
• Overall Armor section Gear tab calculation now takes into account other sources other than apparel.
• Gear tab now displays armor for all valid pawns, mechanoids and modded races included not just humans.
• Display caliber info for single-use weapons, shows fragment types, count, damage, and armor penetration, for projectiles that have them.
• Show blunt armor penetration for explosive projectiles, from CE's internal formula. (bluntAP = damage * 0.1).
• PrometheumFlame DamageDef label changed to prometheum flame, to be distinguishable from the regular flame DamageDef in info windows.
• Added the Steam PublishedFileID.txt file to the mod, so I don’t have to dig around for it every time.
• Added more labels for dealing with locked inventory items, for increased clarity.

Notes:

*This is simply a consolidation of existing, already compatible O21 fantasy races.
**The patch has been updated for the latest Beta build, rather than the current Stable release. Playing with the Stable release will cause two patch operations to fail (because their targets have not yet been added), but this is harmless.
