Updated the TO:AoT Fixed Pack

Some small changes applied to both the normal Fixed Pack and the v469a Test Pack:

  • Changed default name from "Player" to "NewPlayer" (Prevent kick on TO3.5 servers)
  • Updated the OpenGL on TO3.5 from the original in TO3.5 patch to "OpenGL Renderer v3.5" (TO3.4 used it, now TO3.5 too since no more servers with TOST v4.3 online)
  • Disabled the "Show Widescreen" setting that applied useless black bars to top and bottom of screen when dead or spectating
  • Added "TOSTUser.ini" to enable "showweaponinfo" and "showteaminfo" by default (Not all players aware of existence)
  • Added "MapVoteULv2_4_Client.ini" to give the mapvote used by some servers a more blue TO theme by default

Currently the audio renderers are buggy on v469a but the plus side is the Raw Input mouse setting and 200+ fps on ACE v1.2e servers.
