Decouple Ladder Movement From Player Aim

Description
Or in simple terms, pressing up makes you move up the ladder, and vice versa.

In GMod, climbing a ladder and looking downward reverses the players movement on the ladder, making the forward key move the player down instead of up. This is a quirk of the Source Engine, and something I personally don't like.

This simple script overrides the reversion of movement, making the forward key always move the player up and the backward key move the player down the ladder.

This allows for the player to look up and down without having to swap between the forward/backward key to compensate for the change of direction.

The addon can also be manually enabled/disabled with the "DecoupleLaddersEnabled" command.

NOTE: Aiming directly horizontal (i.e. straight forward) will cause both movement keys to move the player up. This is another quirk of the Source Engine ladder behavior and cannot be fixed/changed.

could you make a critical hit damage perk? like 5% chance to do crit damage or even a mini crit perk? ik i can just download a random crit add on but i'd rather not have the NPC's that already tear me apart get that benefit too and maybe a damage absorb perk like in fallout like the toughness perk/damage resist and maybe a damage multiplier perk
