Fixes for issues in battles

• Fixed an issue that allowed players holding the Rainmaker to super jump when the server connection was particularly poor.
• Fixed an issue that occasionally prevented players from taking damage from File:S Weapon Splash Wall .png [[]]s if standing close enough to it when it was first activated.
• Fixed an issue in which the explosion from File:S Weapon Suction Bomb .png [[]]s destroyed by a File:S Weapon Splash Wall .png [[]] was still capable of passing through the File:S Weapon Splash Wall .png [[]] to damage players.
• Fixed an issue in which it was possible to splat opposing players with vertical File:S Weapon Inkzooka .png [[]] or Rainmaker shots when they were completely concealed by solid terrain.
• Fixed an issue in which File:S Weapon Splash Wall .png [[]]s would not take damage when hit by an File:S Weapon Inkzooka .png [[]] or Rainmaker attack.
• Fixed an issue in which players on the far side of a File:S Weapon Splash Wall .png [[]] could still be splatted if the wall was hit by a shot from the Rainmaker, depending on where the File:S Weapon Splash Wall .png [[]] was hit.
• Fixed an issue in which File:S Weapon Ink Mine .png [[]]s placed by multiple players at the same time would explode automatically, though they hadn’t been placed in the opposing ink color, triggered by an opposing player, or reached their time limit.
• Fixed an issue in which players could take damage from a friendly File:S Weapon Ink Mine .png [[]], depending on their placement.
• Fixed issues in which players using the File:S Weapon Kraken .png [[]] special weapon would not see a damage indicator (X mark) when attacking opponents directly, and not correctly followed by File:S Weapon Seeker .png [[]]s used by the opposing team.
