-fixed the wrong door being opened to let pawn 4 out of the barracks.
-fixed cast selector being cut off for certain resolutions. Adds a scrollbar now and setup for controller.
-fixed forcing an NPC out of a chair into another one immediately using EnterChairImmediately not fully taking them out of their previous chair and leaving them in a "stuck" state not able to leave the vehicle they are in ever again.

-fixed being able to suck the traitors empty suit or dead body out of airlocks which prevented you from getting the chip off the body
