Dev corner support for the new stuff

Sloppy mistake on my end, my bad.

Added a check if VCMod is initialized before calling the entity code.

##Brand new features, including a fuel system##

Sorry folks, you will have to download this one manually, other updates will continue to be automatically downloaded.

I am glad to present to you the "Fuel system". A VCMod2 feature ported by request of the many amazing clients who have supported me over the years

Its key features are:

1. Multiple fuel types: 3 fuel types by default. Different fuel types have their own pros and cons, recharge stations, for example, are awfully slow to recharge.
2. Lid positions: every single vehicle has its own fuel injection port (fuel lid) which is generated semi-automatically to predict the most likely spot for it.
3. Dynamic fuel capacity: per vehicle class and mass.
4. Dynamic fuel consumption depending on many variables, including engine stress, lights, speed, mass, towed mass.
5. Fuel stations: only allows the correct vehicle fuel type.
6. Fuel pickup entities: didn't make it in time to the gas station? No problem, you can use a jerry can.
7. Pickup entities, per each fuel type, including battery recharge.
8. Support for imperial/metric system
9. Ability to override each fuel type pricing per liter/ gallon / kWh
10. Ingame menu to add/remove/change fuel stations
11. Persistence mode for the fuel stations: will auto respawn if removed, auto save and place themselves.
12. Custom jerry can weapon: completely lua type of animations, dynamic positioning, shows on HUD elements when active
13. Fancy in vehicle HUD elements and effects: even even does showcase your current fuel consumption.

Along with the main feature there were quite a few other fixes, such as:

1. Rescaled, repositions the right side HUD abit
2. Added ability to change between metric/imperial in the "Personal settings", "HUD" tab
3. Added fancy vehicle destroyed and out of fuel right side HUD flashing
4. Added in the missing fog light dash icon by default (only Singleplayer users were affected)
5. Added in the 3D light textures (only Singleplayer users were affected)
6. Redone around 30 vehicles
7. Redid some core code to make things a bit faster

This update is optional. If your VCMod runs fine (no errors), you do not have to download this.

1. Fixed wrench tool erroring out if it was used within 10-20 seconds of server start

** This update is optional **

1. This makes it so the entity code itself is being downloaded. And it adds singleplayer support for new light types (MP is automatically updated)*

There is now an ingame menu where you can view live updates to the addon or the data in the "!vcmod" chat menu.

1. Added automated changelog display ingame for updates to code
2. Added automated changelog display ingame for updates to data
3. Fixed the third person Wrench's model
4. Fixed not able to use the context menu when driving a vehicle
5. Modified the repair weapon base code
6. Fixed a particle error on the wrench tool
7. Added repair particles to the wrench tool

1. Fixing the Cake Anticheat compatibility bug that caused VCMod to not initialize properly.

Keep both addons up to date, do not just update one of them

Thanks to: ☣Tron☣ for helping beta test.

** Download this only if you wish to get the new Repair Tool model and/or if you have the "<" launch error. **

You have to update ELS aswel if you will update this one.

Update:

1. Added "look at a vehicle" message to car dealers manage vehicles menu
2. Fixed weird ELS bug where it simply stops runnig when having mixed autoupdate versions
3. Fixed VCMod erroring due to faulty car spawning methods (blame Neth for this one)
4. Brand new repair tool model, thank you TDM
5. Additional security step
6. Decreased load times

Only download this update manually if you wish to have your repair weapon have Right Mouse Button admin support. Other updates will be downloaded automatically.

This update fixed the autoupdater itself. If you are running VCMod fine already, you do not have to redownload this update, however it will give you abit of a performance increase when initializing VCMod.

These updates will be named for both Main, ELS:

1. Fixed the remainig "<" error bugs.
2. Resized the headlights
3. Added the missing toolbox model texture (thank you lonewolfie)
4. Added redone headlight beam texture (thank you TDM)
5. Redid the streaming of serverside settings to client portion of the sync system
6. Added in a few images

This update is fully thanks to Kotus for his extremely helpful support thought this mess

The code will be updated live (already has been a few times).

This will simply fix the "<" error, which is caused by restricted characters having server names.

Most likely you will never have to update the code, again by yourself.
