I fucking hate collisions

Conflicts:
	server/server_logic.cpp

Finally merging the changes to develop. This is only the ConfigUtility
skipping missing files, and something with the Timer class, that I'll need
to test the collisions.

+This is the README for Tortuga's demo build. The source code is available at:
+
+   https://github.com/Ratstail91/Tortuga
+
+The current build may have bugs, missing features, bugs masquerading as
+features, etc. You can report a bug/feature here:
+
+   https://github.com/Ratstail91/Tortuga/issues
+
+Please note that this game requires a functioning server to operate correctly.
+Both a game server and game client are included in this package.
+
+-------------------------
+Instructions For Setup
+-------------------------
+
+1. To create a server, simply run server.exe.
+2. To join that server, run client.exe with config settings not already in use.
+    (Note: This process will be streamlined later).
+3. To change the config settings, open rsc/config.cfg
+4. These settings must be unique for each player:
+
+* client.username
+* client.handle
+
+5. There are currently two options for 'client.avatar':
+
+* client.avatar = elliot2.bmp #male
+* client.avatar = coa2.bmp    #female
+
+6. When you've correctly set these values (good luck), select 'Start' from the
+    main menu; this displays the list of available servers.
+7. Select the name of your server (default is 'local') and select 'Join'.
+8. Welcome to Tortuga, enjoy your stay.
