- Selectable at campaign start under "Extra Difficulty" label
- Soft Iron Man: No saving when in turn-based combat. Can save with enemies around (in sector) but only if still in real-time mode.
- Extreme Iron Man: No saving, except punctually at midnight - save screen opens by itself, so Player won't accidentally miss saving time window. Besides Player's save, game will be auto-saved at midnight too if auto-saving is on.
- New ja2_options.ini values for Extreme Iron Man setting: EXTREME_IRON_MAN_SAVING_TIME_NOTIFICATION,

Custom sounds for non-guns (by anv)
- knives, throwing knives, blunt weapons can use attack sounds specified with <sSound> tag - previously their sound was chosen depending on animation used and hardcoded - it should open space for exotic weapons like chainsaws, lawn mowers, jackhammers, etc. If <sSound> is left unspecified, default hardcoded sound will be used normally.
- knives, throwing knives, blunt weapons, launchers on attack can cause noise specified with <ubAttackVolume>, previously it was ignored for anything but guns,
- For presentation purposes: Reuban's hedge trimmer using its original DG attack sound effect and making a lot of noise.

- ja2_options.ini: MAX_BACKPACK_WEIGHT_TO_CLIMB, USE_GLOBAL_BACKPACK_SETTINGS
MAX_BACKPACK_WEIGHT_TO_CLIMB is the maximum weight a backpack can weigh and still allow you to climb with.
The sBackpackWeightModifier in items.xml can modify that number by either making it harder (positive number modifier)
or easier (negative number modifier). If the sBackpackWeightToClimb is -1 (default) then the option is unused.
If USE_GLOBAL_BACKPACK_SETTINGS is TRUE (default), it uses the same rules for all backpacks, while if FALSE checks for
the fAllowClimbing tag in Items.xml, and if that is true you can climb with the backpack.
Both options can be used at the same time, so you may climb with (for example) a malice backpack that weighs less than 5kg
(or 50 hg) but not climb with a radio set.

Minor fixes/improvements for existing features (by Sevenfm)
- Removed some unnecessary options for SHOW_HEALTHBARSOVERHEAD, SHOW_COVER_INDICATOR.
- New option: ENEMY_CLOCK_SPEED_PERCENT - set clock speed during enemy turns.
With this option, player can set default speed to comfortable value (100-120) and set increased speed for enemy turns (150-200).

More visual enemy gear info (by Sevenfm)
- Show additional info in NCTH cursor (press ALT) (ADDITIONAL_NCTH_CURSOR_INFO = 2)
-> You can only use this feature at certain distance
- Updated 'show enemy weapon' feature (SHOW_ENEMY_WEAPON = TRUE, SHOW_ENEMY_EXTENDED_INFO = TRUE)
- Now it can show armour and face items, too. Useful for OCTH users (SHOW_ENEMY_AWARENESS = TRUE)
- Show total value of damage, absorbed by armour in last attack (SHOW_HIT_INFO = TRUE)

- Moved the global location of the xml files from the "AdditionalProperties" to the "Tilesets\AdditionalProperties" folder because this place fits better
- Of course you can also add special tilesets xml files in the tilesets specific folders "Tilesets\XX"
- Addded missing INI value: COVER_SYSTEM_STATIC_SHADOWS_DECREASE_BRIGHTNESS
- Updated comments for COVER_SYSTEM_ADDITIONAL_TILE_PROPERTIES
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2_v1.13_data@1973 4f8fa57e-7814-0410-bad4-adc449f26b7c
- fix: data read from Data/AdditionalProperties,
- new tag: <bTrapBonus> + updated data for tiles, trap level influenced by terrain,
- new feature/option: COVER_SYSTEM_STATIC_SHADOWS_DECREASE_BRIGHTNESS.
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2_v1.13_data@1972 4f8fa57e-7814-0410-bad4-adc449f26b7c
- Feature can be completely disabled in .ini as COVER_SYSTEM_ADDITIONAL_TILE_PROPERTIES under Tactical Cover System Settings.
- With Additional Tile Properties it's possible to supply all tiles with additional data, just like with .jsd files, except in XML.
Files need to have same name as tile's .sti and .jsd files, and be put in \tilesets\AdditionalProperties\, or in specific \tilesets\xx\.
- With additional properties it's possible to specify which camo type, and how effectively will work on any tile. Only snow camo will work on snow covered roofs, red carpet in palace won't perfectly cooperate with urban camo anymore, thick grass in the middle of the forest will provide better camouflage than sparse grass near the road.
- It's now possible to specify footstep volume and stealth difficulty modifier of any tile. Carpets will absorb noise, tile floors amplify it, twigs laying on the tile will make sneaking harder. Choose your path carefully, taffer.
