- Overall fixes and improvements
- Removed Merasmus boss for several reasons:
-- Map hasnt got enough open space for merasmus to operate correctly
-- Merasmus can go into hiding and is very hard to find within the timelimit that is hardcoded into the game
-- Merasmus middle of the map bomb spread event makes him go inside a wall and not seen after that
-- Merasmus didn't respect the preferred bot move area so it went to places where it was unwelcome
-- Killing it and seeing the Hell area proved to be very difficult for the reasons above
