Subject: [PATCH] very strange bug here. If called form the API, require()
 statements sometimes return blank objects, but only when required from within
 habitrpg-shared - i can require the files directly from the API just fine.
 Doesn't help however since habitrpg-shared has dependencies on itself.
 @yangit any thoughts?
