Server patch 2nd April

This was a server-only patch, fixing some more DW:T bugs (including, hopefully, the one that was stopping playbacks of DW:T events working- but note that any events run before now will still be broken as the playback was being written incorrectly).

Also, you now get a notification in a race/deathrace when your car is slipstreaming. If the driver has the slipstreamer specialism, you will get this info. as a percentage.

I have put some extra game-logging in when you create DW:T events, to help me figure out why some vehicles are not getting created in your 'personal DW:T collection' when you make them. I intended to test this out right now but I'm outta time... gotta brave the Galway traffic once again...

Ooh. I love the slipstreaming notification. . . if only I had a racer who was a slipstreamer. . .

We just had a test-run (3v3) of my "Ragtag Attack" DW:T template. Quite a few usablity issues noted down...

Also, playbacks are still not working for DW:T events, sorry about that. I will temporarily disable any playback events whose IDs are less than 300, to stop this being a problem. (The DW:T playbacks are still sending the server into an infinite loop which isn't good for CPU useage...)

On the other hand, this probably explains the serious slowness we were seeing the first or second day after these were implemented. A couple of tight infinite loops on the server can ruin your whole day.

That's right, if there's one you notice a slowdown but at one stage we had two running so both CPUs were essentially loaded down.
