Subject: [PATCH] Fix crash when a launched projectile can't be found

HookLaunch asserted that the engine's launch returned a resolvable
projectile and then read its power anyway. When the handle didn't resolve,
the game crashed on a null pointer, or froze on the assert's breakpoint with a
debugger attached. Such launches are now left unsynced with a warning.
