• Added saving and loading camera locations.
• Added projectile fire and impact sounds, unit spawn and death sounds, and construction finished sounds.

Deprecation & Upgrade Notes

This release includes a major rework of the orders system, to provide for arbitrary custom orders in the future. The following parts of the plugin have changed, requiring you to upgrade your project before the next major release to prevent breaking changes:

• Add a RTSGameplayTagsComponent to resource sources in your project. The new orders system is deciding which orders are feasible for a specific actor mostly based on gameplay tags. As there's a Gather order as well, that one will require resource sources to provide gameplay tags as well to stay feasible targets.
• Replace calls to ARTSPawnAIController::HasOrder by HasOrderByClass. The new orders system is based on order UObjects instead of the old ERTSOrderType enum, which will allow you to create your own custom orders as well in the future.
• Replace functions binding to the ARTSPawnAIController::OnOrderChanged event by OnCurrentOrderChanged. The new orders system is based on order UObjects instead of the old ERTSOrderType enum, which will allow you to create your own custom orders as well in the future.
