5 custom songs added!
Added:
- **Dynamic volume by signal:** Music volume now changes with signal strength (5/5 bars = loudest, 1/5 = quietest). No track restart when crossing bar boundaries.
- **Compass indicator:** Compass is red normally; flashes green when facing the tower for the tuned station.
- Known towers client cache for local signal computation without per-tick server packets.
- Custom music loader for user .ogg files in configurable folder.
Changed:
- Volume updates on the audio thread via `ChannelMixin` + `RadioChannelTracker` for smooth transitions.
- Music playback driven by `WalkieTalkieOverlay` (every 150ms when HUD visible).
- Hysteresis (0.02 stop threshold when playing) prevents restart on boundary jitter.
Fixed:
- Stations and known towers persist across full game restart.
- Music reliably plays when tuned to an active station in range.
