Combat Extended 5.5 “Special Effects”

Features

Added support for new autoloader buildings that can automatically reload adjacent turrets that fire the appropriate caliber. These containers can currently only be set to a single ammo type in xml, but can be configured to be manned or automated, and can be set to work with or without power.
Caliber/Projectile details can now be viewed from the AmmoSetDef info panel.
The origin and angle of casings ejecting from guns can now be manually offset via the ‘GunDrawExtension’.
Overhauled the ProjectileFX system, adding visual effects to projectile impacts against surfaces and targets. These can be toggled in the mod settings.
Weapons and turrets now visually recoil when firing. This can be toggled in the mod settings, or can be manually disabled for individual weapons via xml.

Turrets will now be reloaded from the interaction spot or from somewhere along the edge of the turret, instead of pawns trying to reach the middle of the turret.
Fragments from air-burst shells now cast shadows.
Melee attacking slaves now correctly increases their suppression, matching vanilla.
Added a check to catch a rare error that broke the dev command pallet.
Pawns, like mechs, having their natural armor repaired by another pawn will wait in place, preventing them from wondering off and leaving the pawn fixing open air.
