Summary

This update includes loads of changes, including a brand new UI for the screens, each interior showing on the spawnmenu, interior control tips and much much more.
A lot of legacy features have been brought over including the default interior, wiremod support, improved isomorphic, HADS and damage effects. The Rewrite naming has been dropped as of this release, making this addon now just the 'TARDIS'.
The older addon has now been officially renamed 'TARDIS Legacy' and this addon is no longer dependent on it.
