[WEATHERSYSTEM] fix for when timelines only have one key ..
Moved common audio debug function to draw ranged values into the app debug functions, to avoid it being duplicated again.
Fixed long-standing bug where marbles overlay sound would keep playing longer than it should (also not initiating when it should). Caused by the visual effect not updating parameters if marbles are not in range, but they were used by the audio. The parameters are now reset when invalidated this way.
Tweaked marbles overlay sound so the range is scaled better with the car velocity (controlled by a SurfaceSoundConfig value rather than hardcoded), it takes the marble density into account, and it fades out more quickly. Debug graphs were added for testing (disabled by default)
Moved constructor order around to fix PS3 compilation error
removing daytime and nighttime shader specialisations and replacing with dynamictimeofday. This removes several hundred unneeded shaders from the game. Removing any code that used nighttime lighting.
Disable the switch to wet surface sounds until appropriate sounds have been added. Fixes the bug where the surface sounds are coming out wrong when using the rainy weather option (exposed now wet weather has been enabled) http://forum.wmdportal.com/showthrea...l=1#post187220
