Re-generating MMAPs IS required.
Partially reverts 995a443da2 .
Having 2 different slope angles of 55° and 85° created too many polygons to fit in the current mmtile structure. This caused some polygons to become disconnected from each other, creating the old "invisible walls" effect. Because of this and because of the performance hit when loading a mmtile caused by the increase of polygon numbers, this commit reverts the recent changes and sets by default the slope angle to 55°.
Feel free to restore the previous behaviour by running .\mmaps_generator --maxAngle 85 --maxAngleNotSteep 55 , specifying the map id as number if a single map should have different slope values.
This is the last commit that will change MMAPs version to force re-generating them. Any future change that will affect only the generation settings will be optional (but recommended).

* Some research about mmaps load performances
* Tools/MMapsGenerator: Add some more input parameters
Add some more input parameters which affect the resulting mmaps:
- --smallOutputSize: sets both walkableSlopeAngle and walkableSlopeAngleNotSteep to 55°, reducing by a lot the .mmtile size and the number of polys. A rcFilterLedgeSpans() call is included too to filter out some polys. Default to false.
- --maxAngle: Restore this parameter removed some commits ago. Specifies the max walkable angle of a Creature when in combat. Default to 85
- --maxAngleNotSteep: Max walkable angle of a Player and of a Creature out of combat. Must be less or equal than --maxAngle. Default to 55.
A performance profiling comparison highlighted that .mmtile load grows exponential with the number of polys. A small server with GridUnload enabled and without preloading all grids on startup will be more affected than a big server with GridUnload disabled and preloading grids on startup.

* Howling Gale will no longer get stuck in combat when applying periodic damage effects on them
* When damaging a Howling Gale, the target will now stop casting any knockbacks for 10 seconds before slowly starting to build up again
* Atramedes' Sonar Pulse will now always target 4 players
* Atramedes' Sonar Bomb will now target 5 targets in 10 player mode and 12 targets in 25 player mode
