Dystopia 1.5.7

Okay, I made some screwups with the 1.5.6 release. Translation changes broke objective captured messages and notifications, so thats fixed. I found some bits that weren't translated, so 100% of the game should be translated in a ton of languages? Let me know if thats not the case.

Also per-team crosshairs is a thing now, since the community was asking for it.

Objective Fix & Translations

Capturing an objective shows its message and plays its sound again.
End Round screen shows up again - Same cause as above.
The Options → Keyboard bind names, the team-select Points and class Teammates counts, the scoreboard Spectators / Dead readouts and the class column, the voice-comm chat tags (Team / Global, and the TEAM: dead-chat prefix), and the BOT / CPU Player labels are all properly translatable/translated.
The team names are translated too. Punks and Corps now read in your language across the team menu, scoreboard, spectator list, join messages and the win banner. I tried to translate with the intended feeling of what Punk and Corp mean in English in all 31 languages, but let me know if its wrong.

Per-team crosshairs

You can now set a separate crosshair for Punk and Corp, color, style and size each per team. If you like the same for both, then dont change the toggle (Options → Interface.)

Damage Number Visibility

Floating damage numbers now stay where you last saw a target instead of trailing them through a wall. This was funny because you know I love my GL, and I was using it to see if people peeked from corners, so, yeah, not good.

Interface

Changed main menu / no-team HUD color. The reason I'm going this way is to get Dystopia to be more color-blind friendly, but I may take a different approach. Also, main menu hovers look plain if its all white/gray.
The in-game M menu (team / class / loadout) buttons are fully opaque so you can see them easier when in a new game, and the Corp hover color is a corp blue instead of the red it had???
Credits changes based on emails I'm getting.

Thanks to everyone testing 1.5.6 and sending reports.
