caused by broken VIP sync.

- Fix crates randomly spinning on projector view.
- Fix FFA mode not ending when only 1 player left.

lands on a powerup).

Potential items:
- Exhaust fine tuning (to prevent the truck constantly emitting exhaust).
- Misfiring (exhaust sparks and emits a cloud of smoke) when engine damaged.
- Sparks revamp (effect smaller + brighter, trigger fine tuning).
- Heavy/light powerup effect improvement.
- Lens flare.
- God rays.
- Skid marks.
- Detachable headlamps on small car.
- Change scoring model to also include damage done.
- Add an options screen to replace the Ogre opening menu and allow 
configuration of particle effects/compositors.

restarting.

Long term items:
- Shadow system revamp (to allow self shadows).
- Scratch map blending on vehicles (via decals).
- Crack blending on arenas (via decals).
- Replays on projector view.

caravan and destroy enemies', a race mode and a football mode have all been 
discussed).

Additional bug found: Pretty much everything to do with the VIP syncing doesn't 
work. The first player to die in VIP mode ends the game. None of the clients 
have the correct VIP. None of the clients have the same VIP. The VIP isn't 
cleared from the players.
