I added the missing aliases to GOF 2.5 for cannons.

GOF 1.2 is older than both 2 and 2.5 (I accidentally labeled 2.1.5 as 2.5, and have simply continued to keep that mistake so the Itch links do not need to be redone).  But when the modders created them, instead of adding or improving upon GOF 1, they appear to have removed most of the ship AI decisions in the scripts, removed surrender/speak feature at sea, removed most of the new ships, removed characters, etc.  I don't consider either 2 or 2.5 an upgrade, based on what I see, but rather a very stripped down version of GOF 1.  I now find people often complaining about mistakes like the missing sound aliases you just discovered.  In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have bothered to port them over to Maelstrom compatibility; I never played 2 or 2.5, but only 1.2 and I assumed from various forum posts that both 2 and 2.5 were desirable, but I am now discovering that this was probably because other people, like myself, assume that the later/higher number means they are better.  I personally think that 2 and 2.5 are inferior to GOF 1.
