Albatross Battle

Description
Adds the D96-TCE Albatross dropship to Halo 3 as a drivable, destructible vehicle with multiple variants. Features variation of Sandtrap multiplayer map where the Elephants have been replaced by closed variant Albatrosses. Designed to work especially well for CTF and Assault . Additional variants accessible via forge palette.

Included Albatross Variants:
- Default: Static physics for multiplayer. Doors open and close with landing and takeoff respectively
- Commando: No doors
- Closed: New, fully destructible Albatross. Includes individually damageable zones, transition fx to show damage levels, and explosions that leave new garbage crates behind

Graphical Tweaks:
- Doors restored from Halo 2
- Cut decal restoration
- Custom engine and door animations
- Model tweaks to maximize animation support
- Engine thrust and hover fx

Albatross physics is fully localized:
- Players and vehicles can move inside the cargo area using the Albatross as a frame of reference
- Goal markers such as flag and assault goal/spawns and king of the hill markers can be placed within the cargo area in forge
- Turrets can be mounted to the cargo area in forge
- Objects such as crates and fusion coils can be placed in forge and set to respawn within the cargo area
- Doors collide with players, vehicles, etc, but not with the environment, allowing for smooth vehicle entry

From what I can tell Rookie G, it still works perfectly! Just need to go to Custom Multiplayer > Halo 3 > Modded Maps, and the Albatros Sandtrap map should be there

@Divinitii I'm not sure why, but it seems like clients can pilot if they enter from inside of the cargo hold, but not from in front. For some reason only the host has full 360 degree access, but everyone should be able to pilot if they enter from the right angle. Again I have no idea what could be causing this behavior to be different for the host and client

Also I think in my testing I noticed some issues saving forge maps during multiplayer. If you're spawning items in the pre-placed albatrosses (if you spawned in your own, it definitely doesn't work) and they're still not saving correctly, try having any clients quit before the host saves/quits the map. Its definitely possible to get the variants to save correctly despite the jank

I'll take some time to investigate and hopefully find the cause for these issues. Thanks for the feedback!

We can't get anyone except for the host to pilot the Albatross, and we're also having the issue with Forge items spawning at the center of the map.
