[WIP]Weapon Turrets

Description
[Work in Progress!]

Adds turret versions of existing weapons to the game.

Turrets are slightly wider than hull mounted versions, but shorter, with the exception of Flak Turret.
This is due to size of turret heads, so they could rotate freely within range of building.
Actual turrets that shoot over the roof!
They require blueprints and blueprints require base guns - for balancing, mostly.

*** Currently in this mod: ***
- Disruptor Turret
- Small Blaster Turret
- Large Blaster Turret
- Medium Cannon Turret
- Large Cannon Turret
- Flak Battery Turret (also has a Standalone version)

...
Turret versions of other vanilla weapons:
* Point Defense Turrets (single and dual)can be found here
* Ion Beam Turret can be found here

Feel free to use as a part/basis of your mods without asking me for permission.
Feel free to reupload if game version changes and I'm not around to fix them.

Notes:
This is a work in progress, and some refinements will be added in next few weeks :)
Turrets actually change gameplay a lot, make your ship easier to organize. Drawback being their wider sizes, but it is still worth it.
Due to how storage slots are organized, Large Cannon now has 4 instead of 3. Sorry, game does not allow to offset these x_X

// TODO:
- Flak Turret
- Add turret head to Flak Turret
- Normal Maps for Large Cannon turret head
- clean up graphics, add doodads maybe?
- point values to vanilla sources to make them always consistent with vanilla balancing
- use vanilla sounds instead of including them in mod folder (doh!)
- come up with decent idea for bullet loader for turrets didn't really, but seems not needed here.
- balance costs a little (seems unnecessary now)
- add missile turrets
- add Chaingun turret, ffs!

most likely the other mod is the culprit.
Post a log and lets see :)

I don't know why the mod is giving an error. It seems to be conflicting with other mods.

2x2 Cannon Turret is from Smaller Cannon Turrets mod :)

Hey, there is a small visual glitch with the 2x2 Cannon turret where the standby ammo appears 1 cell behind where it is supposed to be. Not sure if it messes with acutal firing though.

Free time is always the cruncher.

That, and motivation....

I wish, so maybe one day. It is something on todo list :)
Hopefully towards the end of the year I will have some free time to do this.

If you ever add a chaingun turret, it would probably be better than mine hahaha. Best of luck to you good Sir

Also unsub and resub the mod as steam sometimes does not refresh updates.

Just a heads up. If you're still CTD-ing on start up verify files because the hotfix WR put out didn't install right on my end and was causing problems.

thank you! I'll sit to it this evening. Also standalone flak was probably affected...
