Yosemite in OpenGOAL: Part 3 - Red Eco Vent Switch, Entrance Cave, and more!

It's been a really long time since the last progress update video. Since then, I decided to abandon the previous Yosemite restoration project, and try a new approach instead. In this new approach, focus is on trying to tidy up base Yosemite, using a custom level (for now just one). The actors are also placed in this custom level. The reason is that the Yosemite level is just too old, I kept running into random issues because of this. But by not using its actors, and placing them in a custom level instead, we earned a lot of flexibility, and a lot of the issues are now gone!

Main improvements since the previous video:
*Level is present in the menu, and has fully functional tasks (2 for now). It is funny that all of the strings I used for the menu entry were still in the files (red vent switch task name, and the ingame name of Yosemite - Rock Lake).
*Red Eco Vent Switch was created, I even found some unused dialogue that I could use for it. I saw no reason to place a red eco vent though, since it is so useless. I will think of something.
*Added 7 scout fly boxes, will have to hide them to make it more fun.
*I found some help, str-Luke created a cave (he calls it Foyer) that kind of tries to connect Yosemite to the game world. It is still WIP, but already looks cool. The hole in the ceiling is going to be the entrance. We just don't know yet how we will get here - either through Volcanic Crater, or Snowy Mountain. It will require dark tricks though.
*The Zoomer works now.
*Crates are present.
*Things should have sounds now.

Issues:
*Due to custom level limitations, some actors have garbage as texture. Fixing this is most likely beyond my capabilities.
*Yosemite can corrupt the game somehow, causing crash when loading levels after we loaded Yosemite at least once.
*Not all Yosemite actors are restored yet. The water-vol is probably the most obvious one.

All music was added during editing, as I wrote in the video. Can't really add custom music to Jak yet.

Here is this restoration project on Github, nicknamed "Yosemite Two": https://github.com/LuminarLight/jak-p...
Sadly, it can not really be used by the public since the TPL September 2001 Preview build is still not released, and it contains the essential YOS.DGO file.
