RPM Work Mode

Another update is out, bringing a bunch of fixes and improvements. Because apparently fixing one thing just unlocks three more things to fix 😂

🔧 2.4.4.5
Fixed settings getting stuck on NO and refusing to go back to YES 😂
Settings no longer reload from disk every time you open the menu
Toggle states now read correctly
HUD now properly disappears when removed/disabled instead of deciding it lives there permanently
Fixed the solid white settings box
Fixed dark row colours not being applied properly
Fixed missing l10n/translation labels
Fixed vehicles not revving correctly
Restored PTO / tach lift
Fixed conflicts with Yield Control and additional Game Settings
Made settings, HUD and motor hooks safer
Fixed telehandler/front-loader RPM getting stuck at max after hydraulics stop

Hopefully that's actually everything this time... 😂

I've tested it on my end and it's working properly for me, so fingers crossed I've finally managed to squash the little gremlins 🫠

If you find any issues, bugs or something that decides to randomly break itself, please contact me and let me know.

Thanks everyone for the reports and testing! ❤️

Make sure you're running version 2.4.4.5 for the latest fixes.

Hopefully I fixed it... I swear it works on my end 😂😂

## New

* Added a new LOAD readout to the speedometer HUD for telehandlers and loaders.
* Displays the live boom load in kg or tonnes.
* Supports pallet forks, buckets and grab*.
* Pallet forks now display the actual load weight, as they do not use a fill percentage.
* Load indicator changes colour based on the current load:

* 🟢 Green: Light load
* 🟠 Orange: Heavy load
* 🔴 Flashing red: Overload
* Added a vertical LOAD gauge, styled to match the stock fuel and damage bars.
* Added a WORK RPM badge while automatic RPM boost is active.
* Added separate **Game Settings** options for both new HUD features.
* Added support for Kramer, Manitou, Merlo and other similar telehandlers.

## Fixed

* Fixed pallet forks showing no load on the HUD.
* Fixed the LOAD display overlapping the gear icon.
* Fixed the LOAD display appearing off-screen or incorrectly positioned on the cab dashboard.
* Fixed Game Settings potentially disabling both HUD options when opened and saved.
* Fixed tipper RPM boost continuing after the trailer was fully opened. Boost now only operates while the trailer is opening or closing.
* Fixed various issues across the mod that could prevent features from working correctly.
* The entire mod should now be fully functional and working as intended.** 🎉
* Yes... it actually works properly now. 😂

## Improved

* LOAD display is now positioned alongside the speedometer bars instead of underneath the instrument cluster.
* Empty loader and telehandler booms now continue to display 0 kg, keeping the LOAD readout visible at all times.
* Improved load-limit feedback for clearer monitoring while operating machinery.
* General stability and compatibility improvements across the mod.
