- Deprecated and split out MaxCreaturesPerWave configuration to allow seperate configuration for the Challenge and Arena shrines (wildshrines already have seperate configs)

- Fixed some switched sychronization RPC channels

0.20.1

- Removed initial synchronization of current-run wave definitions on on client load from shrines

- Added a shrine of the arena which takes the place of the gladiator config option. Uses a new building graphic that is much less obtrusive for arena fights

- Added wildshrines!
	- Wild shrines currently spawn in Meadows, Blackforest, Swamp, Mountains, Plains and Mistlands.
	- Wild shrines have configurable level definitions, that are activited by providing the correct tribute
		- eg: Shrine of the Meadows will accept NeckTrophies and spawn a challenge consisting largely of Necks, for a reward of Meadows resources
	- Wildshrine configuration is almost entirely exposed via yaml. You can edit rewards, difficulty, monsters included in generation of the waves etc
	- Wildshrines can be configured to use any monsters defined in the Monsters.yml, and spawn any rewards (does not need to be configured in the rewards yaml)
- Fixes for an edgecase where the owner of a znet region rapidly changes during a shrine challenge
- Fixed a bug where disabling a creature from level generation would still include it in the generation pool, but would not spawn it (it is now properly completely excluded)
- Reduced texture sheen of the shrine of challenge and wildshrines

0.9.20

- Fixes a freeze that may occur when shrine spawn radius is 100% invalid

0.9.19

	- Cleanup portals
- Sync improvements to number of creatures remaining, fixing non-znet hosts from accidentally stopping challenges
- Increased the default shrine announcement range
- Added Zsync'd state for post-challenge cleanup to prevent cleanup scripts from running regularly
