1905 Weapon Reskin [OBSOLETE]

NOTE: Updates have made this mod broken, and partially eliminated the reason I made it in the first place. Currently, I do not plan to fix it.

TLDR: Makes vanilla weapons look more modern

"No," the admiral growled, fuming, "we did not lose the battle because I or my men were incompetent, lazy, cowardly, treasonous, or any of the other words you aristocrats use to pin your failures on the rest of us. We lost because you expected us to kill that,"he pointed to a diagram of one of the enemy Fleshcrackers, its advanced mechanics, deadly autocannon, and thick steel skin clear to see, "with a cast-iron smoothbore that looks like a pear!"

I've long thought that with all-steel warships powered entirely by steam, armed with suspendium railguns and biplane fighters, some of the early-game weapons could look a bit anachronistic, especially alongside modded weapons, which gravitate towards a 20th-century aesthetic. So I reworked the normal, heavy, and imperial cannons into naval artillery that wouldn't look out of place on a pre-dreadnought. And then the mod grew into a crusade against quite a few of the stock sprites. Much of fretting over details later, it is finally ready to share.

So what does this actually do? It changes the appearance of several vanilla weapons, and ONLY that. It makes no changes to balance, and ships built with this mod will still work with mods disabled. The weapons affected are:

Normal, Heavy, Grapeshot, and Imperial Cannons (All cannons pivot near their center of mass, for realism, and fire conical shells. Heavy and Imp cannons have a visual explosion effect when they hit.)
Deck Gun
Normal Turrets (projectiles only)
Heavy Turret (Now uses the same barrel as the casemated heavy cannon)
Gatling Gun (A Maxim gun now, but I didn't change strings)
Normal and Giant Flamethrowers (They have animated pilot lights now)
Normal and Massive Rockets (Made it plausible for the crew to reload them, too)
Flak cannons (Barrels are small again like in old versions)
