This time we added new features to the couch events to make sure that we have a smoother event. A feature that restricts pressing buttons to a certain tier. A feature that restricts being able to shoot the sofa or moving it with USE to a certain tier. We reworked the game_text that displays who is shooting the couch so that players hopefully no longer get buffer overflows. We also added an alternative option to display the shooting messages in the console instead. What we still are missing is Cban (Couch ban) but marisa is working on it.

For now during events will being able to shoot/press E on the couch be limited to Tier 6. If necessary we will raise the tier requirement live during the event.

I think its better if we first try to complete sunlight before we do another couch event where we retry rpd. RPD will be attempted again but i still think its much more difficult than sunlight. So we start with sunlight and if its easier now thanks to these new features provided by irineu we can feel more confident about attempting rpd again.
