Fixes:

• Prevent crash in event manager if listener object is deleted without being unregistered first
• Zones and portal placement visualization no longer glows when HDR is enabled
• Added a dynamic cast wrapper around gizmo updates to stop a crash when updating net objects ( mission area and mission info )
• The impostors do not change sizes when looking at them perpendicular to their up vector.

• Fix several issues with visibility animations loaded from DAE models that were preventing tail lights working correctly on the Cheetah vehicle
• Fix sidestep (or any) animation not reversing when Player switches directions
• Fixed logic error when checking if an editor is open before cycling the game
• Fix client side sub-meshes being forced initially visible. Culprit was ShapeBase::MeshHiddenMask which forced all sub-meshes to be unhidden which also set their visibility to 1. Fix rendering code to check forceHidden flag separately so no need to modify visibility when changing the flag (THREED-1827).

• Added a delay before the AIPlayer's stuck check is made. This allows the AIPlayer to accelerate up to speed first before worry about being stuck (and often producing a false stuck condition). The time delay me be set with moveStuckTestDelay and defaults to 30 ticks.

• zipped folder access. Finding a file system that can service a given path is now done in reverse order. This allows for ZIP files to contain newer versions of scripts or art based on the ZIP's file name. i.e. scripts2.zip will be searched first, and then scripts1.zip.
