New sprite lights added! Much improvement to be made in the future on this, as they aren't actually attached on some of the older sentinels. Enforcers have less lights than they should for now.
Added impact sounds to Sentinel Beams
Tuning of various Particle FX
Better fixed firing position of beams on sentinels
(could still be happening) Attempted to fix sentinels with Shield Boost (the shields spawned from Shield Protectors) dying from high-damage instances even if they had the health to withstand it
Fixed Shield Break FX not playing/playing at the wrong locations
Renamed some of the death variations in the menu
Fixed Weapon Malfunction not properly working

Fixed up and Readded following. Press E on a sentinel to make them hover in weapon range of you (Still experimental)
Added better support for controlling sentinels
Added H2 Needle Weapon
Added H2 Rocket Weapon
Added HW Beam Weapon
Added HW Stasis Weapon
Fixed Super Sentinel Stasis weapon (in relation to the weapon and NPC)
-More reliably stops enemies from ranged, melee, and leap attacks (with exception to some NPCs)
-Freezes NPCs, Entities, flying rockets, etc
-Freezes Nextbots, VJ SNPCs, and others (hopefully all)
Added weapon drops to all appropriate sentinels
-(Beware that Enforcers now drop a plethora of weapons when they die, potentially making NPCs like the flood a lot more dangerous!)
Fixed H2 Enfocer Shield not blocking certain projectiles
Fixed sentinel beams stopping at a certain point after following a set distance
Changed Stasis field persists for duration of effect
Upped beam tick rate by more than double
Fixed bug causing Allied NPCs to target allied sentinels spawned randomly

Sentinels now slice their beams across their target, and no longer track. They now predict where their targets will be as they slice their beams across it, giving their foe time to dodge it
-This might sound familiar, as it kinda exists in a sense, but not well enough. They sliced their beams across targets before this patch in a random direction, and they still tracked their beams around their targets. This new system uses predicted positions, giving you and others time to dodge their beams. Plus it looks WAY better and more accurate to Halo.
Sentinels no longer beam targets above them
Added decals to laser FX
H3 Aggressors now have 4k Textures!
H2 Sentinel Enforcers now have 4k Textures!
Fixed Illumination texture on H2 Sentinel Enforcers
H2 Constructors/Aggressors now have 4k Textures and lights!
Fixed broken bump maps on H3 Auto Turrets
H3 Auto Turrets now have 4k Textures!
H3 Guilty Spark now has 4k Textures!
H3 Sentinel Beam now has 4k Textures!
H3 Sentinel Emitter now has 4k Textures and lights!
Added specular maps to all sentinels (Except H2 and H1 Aggressors)
Improved material on mostly all sentinels
Improved Shield FX on non-Aggressor sentinels (that have them)
Adjusted and fixed colors on SW049 Protectors
Fixed firing position on SW049 Protectors
Darkened colors on Assembler to better differentiate from Constructors
Fixed certain sentinels dropping the wrong sentinel beams or dropping beams at all
Fixed 343GS not dying correctly
Lowered 343GS Average height above target

Thanks to all who gave me advice on how to update the textures, materials, and such!

Removed entities from spawnmenu that weren't meant to be spawned by hand (Gibs, Bullets, Emitter)
- The emitter is meant to be spawned via the "Halo Sentinel Emitter" Stool under the "DrVrej" tab
Removed additional old references to entities that have since been renamed (Caused NULL entity errors most of the time)
-This usually only effects people who didn't tinker with settings at all.
-You might need to go into your "Halo Sentinel Emitter" Stool settings and just set the spawn type to something that isn't "npc_vj_sent_h3sentinel" and hit "Update Constructors' Emitters"
Upped Sentinel Constructor's Construct range by 50% to account for more strict spawning locations
