Tubular Distortion Bug Fix

[-SeaboundSaint-]

This little bug here has irked me since 2008:


That is until I stumbled upon this nugget of information over on the Saints Row 2 Fandom Wiki:

All Poker machines, Blackjack machines, and Zombie Uprising machine triggers have a tubular distortion effect in front of them. The distortion comes from whatever the first entry is in effects.xtbl, which by default is "minigun_barrel", which is the rotating barrel effect for the Mini-Gun. The effect is attached to the trigger, rather than the object itself, as removing the "zombie", "poker", or "blackjack" flags from those objects removes the effect.

So here it is; A simple fix to effects.xtbl:

minigun_barrel is now second in the effects.xtbl list.

I take no credit for this fix. Full credit goes to whomever put the information up on the wiki! Thank you!
