Sandbox mode

It refers to the QoL-reworked version of the semi-random enemies and item drops occurring when going out of bound in both countryside levels since update 1.4. - these changes make the fight grown naturally in difficulty rather then dropping large threats rather quickly.

The script has been split to have separate version for level 9 and 10.

(10) DLV starts at 20, increases by 20 and caps at 1000 (original values: 20, 5, 2000).
Each weapon now increases or decreases the DLV based on its current ammo percentage (previously only the two shotguns and rifles counted).
Each weapon over 50% ammo will increase the DLV by 5 (down from 10 of all weapons except the Shotgun).
Each weapon under 25% ammo will decrease the DLV by 5 (down from the 10% threshold and from 10 of all weapons except the Shotgun).
Enemies with danger level <= 5 are removed from the pool between DLV 250 and 500 (previously between 200 and 500).

Version 1.10 - Important bug fix

Levels (12) and (14) should now load correctly without having ASSPBR installed
Swapped all ASSPBR assets with my own*

*Unfortunately, I wasn't able to re-save all of Sacor's assets due to privacy settings, so I had to create my own. The torches were already in the game, so I added a fire effect and a light to them. I also added lights to the lamps inside the castle and removed all ASSPBR lamps and candles. In The Package, I used flashlight models to highlight certain areas and added extra ceiling lights. The level is darker than before, but it's still much better than the original--more importantly, you can actually load it lol
