v0.6

This patch restores important vanilla functionalities, fixes minor visual inconsistencies, and introduces a usability improvement to enhance the overall vanilla experience. The restored elements or functionalities are very important to the vanilla experience and atmosphere, so it's important to bring them back to really have a vanilla feel.

Enhancements & New Features:

- Improved Visual Consistency:
* The inventory icon for the MP5 has been updated to better match the world model used by the OSRM mod, ensuring a more cohesive visual experience.
* The vanilla screen helmet texture has been restored, replacing an unintentional change made during inventory icon improvements.
* The positions of various HUD elements (grenade shell ammo counter, fire mode indicator, magazine/clip rounds counter, FMJ ammo counter, AP ammo counter) have been adjusted to improve visual consistency and organization.
- Vanilla Gameplay Restoration: Several key functionalities have been restored to match the original game experience:
* Enemies are now displayed on the minimap for improved situational awareness.
* The grenade indicator has been restored to the HUD, providing valuable visual feedback on grenades in the player's vicinity.

* The HUD now displays the NPC counter, ammo counter, and grenade shell ammo counter for better information accessibility.
* The minimap shows the objective marker and red hit indicator for clearer visual guidance.
* The HUD displays the NPC counter indicator for a more comprehensive information display.
