- Removed support for custom Output dialog.

- Added custom UI definitions to Cortex in the Map Data folder. See the README on how to implement this properly.
- The default chat area is no longer visible, and will no longer be briefly visible before it is erased whenever you type a message.
- The default output area has been moved and revamped to be prettier and fixed a number of issues with displaying unwanted characters.
