Two issues the user hit driving the Mad Cat: (1) projectiles appeared to launch from the
mech's FEET -- MechWeapon::GetMuzzlePoint falls back to the mech origin (localOrigin) when the
weapon's mount segment (this+0xdc) doesn't resolve, so the passed muzzle was at ground level;
(2) they rendered as a thin laser-like line, not a missile.
Fix: BTPushProjectile now takes the SHOOTER mech and resolves the real launch port by NAME
(sitermissleport / sitelmissleport, alternating L/R for a salvo look; then torso ports, then
gun ports; then a raised fallback) -- the same segment-name -> world-transform mechanism the
visible laser beams use for the gun ports. The tracer is now a 3-part missile look (dim smoke
trail behind + orange body + hot flame tip) instead of a single thin beam. FireWeapon (both
ProjectileWeapon and MissileLauncher) passes owner as the shooter.
