Bugs

 * The knockback effect modifies the script used by bighorners in order to make it work with the Sonic Emitter. This modification completely nullifies the effect when it is used by bighorners.
 * Lonesome Road includes a new bighorner script to fix this.
 * Sometimes, after entering the testing area and killing Gabe, leaving while the think tanks are still talking, then returning to the testing area and acquiring the Gabriel's Bark holotape, even though the holotape was picked it up, it is missing from inventory.
 * In some playthroughs, Audio Sample - Gabriel's Bark will not spawn in any of the digging spots and there is no way to get the holotape to re-spawn through a previous reload or otherwise.
