- performing suspicious activities renders a spy easily identifiable for a short time (realtime) or until he ha spend enough AP (turnbased). This should make exploiting disguises harder.
- if a spy is closer than COVERT_ELITES_UNCOVER_RADIUS to an elite or officer, they can uncover the spy, depending on uniform worn an experience levels.

- To control vehicle, click on it or on the steering wheel in team panel under driver's portrait.
- Vehicles have two gears - slow drive and fast drive, switchable just like walking and running ('S', 'R', double-click).
- Vehicles working: Ice Cream Van, Hummer, Jeep, El Dorado and, potentially, tanks.
- Passengers can be selected and ordered to open fire from the inside
- You can also open inventory screen for passengers, pass or throw items, etc.
Normally vehicle is treated as any other merc and has its own APs. It has obvious disadvantages - it's possible to drive in the middle of the enemy group using vehicle's 100AP,
and then use all your mercs inside vehicle with their still full APs to kill everything that moves at point blank range - with even the driver participating!
- To prevent that you can set Tactical Gameplay Settings > AP_SHARED_AMONG_PASSENGERS_AND_VEHICLE_MODE with following calculation methods

- Minor code improvements and cleanup
- Fix from r6775 is no longer necessary.
- Code improvement: Instead of calling inv.size() repeatedly, just call it once and remember that value

- no more jump with backpack (keys 'j' and 'J'). This is more consistent. Sometimes the soldier got stuck in the fence as some functions did not allow jumping and others did.
- Pickup items from ground will now cost AP.
- Backpack, Scubba fins and swimming background AP modificattion is now shown in path and is considered when calculating new path. No pathing through fences when wearing backpack. More likely to create path through water when wearing scubba fins.

-SGP debugging now works again (corrected some typos and one missing include).
-Memmory debugging works again (wrong types corrected)
-Laptop screen heigth macro and all references is now usable. (was 'C: y + A' 'D: B - C' which translates to 'D: B - y + A' instead of 'D: B - y - A')
-Laptop screens do not need to rerender as often then before as the laptop screen width/heigth macros works now and invalidating screen will do the trick -> almost no render calls neccessary.
-MercProfile.ubMiscFlag was used instead of .ubMiscFlag2 -> enter sector action schedule for soldiers which dont need to be insertered is now canceled as intended

- Fixing bad APs deduction when using blade or blunt weapons and punching in general from different stances when need turn to your target.
Details:
- Fix wrong APs deduction and animation change when go to attack with knife or punch from prone.
- Fix no APs cost for martial artist when perform turning.
- When target was prone there was several problems in defining turnover and stance cost as range to them could vary depending of obstacles between, and as punch or stub in general use same logic put all stubbing and punching under one function MinAPsToPunch which should solve current problems with APs calculations.
- Still there are no turning cost when going to stub or punch from moving, but this problem is not related with MinAPsToAttack but with UIPlotPath which don't add turning cost, hope someone in the future will add this feature which never exist.

- Fixing bad APs deduction when using hand grenades, mortars, rocket launchers, grenade launchers and attached grenade launchers from different stances and need turn to your target.
Details:
- Add APs cost for stance change and turnover for mortar and rocket launchers.
- Rocket launchers cannot be fire from prone any more as there are no animation for that stance.
- Attached grenade launchers now take raise gun cost for launcher instead for gun.
- No more problems with APs for grenades from different stances and turnover, add proper costs for crouch too as someone add animation for that.
- Fix wrong APs deduction for grenade launcher from prone and turnover in general.
- Fix incorrect values for APs cost under throwing/launching cursor.

- Fix more problems of deducting APs when try to shoot from different stances but need turn to your target.
Details:
- Problems raised after introduction of conditional APs charge in case that you need to rise gun and turn, so charging only higher of this to two value if not prone.
- Another problem is alternative fire mode from hip which is currently allowed only in stand so was missing such condition as well for change scope mode if going down.
- As run into problems from above for our merc, need adopt it to CalcBestShot for AI too.
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@6414 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- Some APs fixing for throwing knives and backpack, with doing some correction to my previous changes.
Details:
- Do some correction and missing parts to ch58 and ch69.
- Throwing knives will add you bonus for throwing knives to same target as was suppose from v1.12 but never works.
- Fix AI use gun calculation for throwing knives instead for throw.
- Fix incorrect showing and deducting APs when try to shoot from prone with backpack or throw from prone and crouch positions with turning in general.
- Fix cheating when sLastTarget is set just for raise gun in that direction, this was always done after you fire.
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@6409 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- Add alternative fix for CalcBestShot which should remove existing APs problems maybe even create AI deadlier then ever ;-)
Details:
- Existing CalcBestShot simply became inadequate and buggier for so many add ons to game, so compiling with dnlCALCBESTSHOT is alternative option which calculate all turning, stance and raising gun cost for different stances and all available scopes, and after all hoping fix incorrect APs calculation as well, hitrate formula is adapt to 100AP system, also try to optimize a bit to get less AICalcChanceToHitGun calls and to use with different stance decisions.
- From ch58 aiming for burst and autofire was disabled as was causing invalid action handle due to incorrect APs calculation so from now aiming AI also use aiming before bursting.
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@6403 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- (bug) first Tooltip for weapons (secondary and tertiary values like recoil) was missing, last one showed (null,null).
- (cleanup) code cosmetic/potential bug: cnt now (hopefully) match the count of actual rendered values/MouseRegions and Icons.
- (feature adjustment) freshness Bar for food now shows the decay. Color values for bar range from green (over yellow) to red. hight of bar shows the percentage.
- (feature adjustment) Food properties are now shown in DB. A Data patch is needed to show the new Icons, those however are placeholders for better ones, the tooltips also need a rework by a native english and translation to the different languages.
- (feature adjustment) When FoodSystem is enabled the weight of a foodtype item is adjusted to account for partially eaten item.
- (bug) Performance fix 1: multiple TransformIcons where rendered in DB above each other.
- (bug) Performance fix 2: condition to leave loop when on end of Transform list was not met due to missing cast (65535!=-1).
- (bug) 'endless dying mercs in roof edges' fix in rev.6346 condition was never met.
- (bug) Popups were missplaced when clicking on a trainer-assignment multiple times to close the submenu.
- (bug) Popups were missplaced when clicking on a practice-assignment multiple times to close the submenu.
- (bug) Popups were missplaced when clicking on a student-assignment multiple times to close the submenu.
- (bug) Popups were missplaced when clicking on a facility-assignment multiple times to close the submenu. note: the bug might only be reproducable when selecting different screensize then the 3 native ones.
- (bug) MouseMasks for disabling timeCompress buttons did not match size of buttons, Clock Overlay was missing
- (cleanup) Replaced Hardcoded fallback Gridnumbers with CenterGrid if no exitGrid was specified in map editor. Same behavier than before, but since we have bigmaps and possibly other mapsizes it should not be constant.
- (bug) Sight range calulation uses distance visible with and without scope to get a scopeRangeMod=sDistVis/sDistVisNoScope. Blind soldiers will have 0 sDistVisNoScope, which means the scopeRangeMod is a div/0 (not defined result). After fix we get a defined result for scopeRangeMod of 1.0f in case there is a 0 distance. Also we get a defined result for sightrange since sightrange=sightrange/scopeRangeMod = 0/1.0f.
- (bug) Experimental NCTH calulation did return 0 CTH with 0 aimclicks but it should return at least the base CTH.
- (cleanup) added comment to get an idea of the 'magic' aiming Points formula
- (feature adjustment) Flat backpack malus replaced with malus which scales linear with weight of backpack up to maximum specified in ini file. Each 5 kg 1 additional malus is applied for movement. When carrying pack in hands or inside another pocket the full malus is applied. Malus for changing stances is still 1 additional Point when carrying backpack (does not matter in which slot).

- Fixing Tank bursting shells problem, and some other tank related bugs.
Details:
- There are several problem with Tank handling, main was forcing to use gun although already decide to use machinegun which lead to bursting shells.
- Another one was related to machinegun usage as current autofire handling is not supported by TANK BURST animation which had limit to 6 rounds, so decision to fire anything different then 6 lead to complete wrong APs deduction.
- Fix some invalid animation decision as current tank cannot raise gun or move or check for cover.
- Fix problem with wrong return (INT8) although after introduction of 100AP system APs variables are INT16 which create bad APs calculation for tank.
- Fix general problem with burst and autofire when soldier decide to when swap weapons.

- Fixing AI problems when they use launchers.
Details:
- Seems from implementation of 100AP system and new attachment system and new kind of GL launchers, AI use them improperly or not used at all. Bugs was:
- Bursting grenades from non burst launcher.
- Not use GL if grenade is already in it
- Not firing from rocket launcher if couldn't find hand grenade.
- Refusing to launch grenade from attached GL if couldn't find grenade in other pockets.
- Never fire from single rocket launchers like LAW.
- Incorrect chance to throw calculation for GLs which lead into no decision to throw.
- Whole cylinder of grenades was permanently remove from pocket after reloading launcher.

- Have always wondered, why do attacks with blunt weapons (baton, nightstick, etc) cost the same AP (16) as hand-to-hand attacks? Shouldn't they be using the AP cost like how blades do?

- individual LBE gear can be created via MOLLE items. For each LBE item, there's a definition which pockets may be changed and how much space the new pockets may take up in total.
- If there's a free pocket slot and enough space -> attach item and enable pocket.

- food and water levels are lowered every hour, eat food to survive
- not doing so leads to various penalties and ultimately death
- added food items for that purpose. Food can degrade over time. Rotten food poisons.
- Mercs automatically consume food if hungry/thirsty and food is in their inventories
- for more info, see http://www.bears-pit.com/board/ubbthreads.php/topics/307396/Re_Mercs_need_food_and_water_t.html#Post307396

- if the terrain allows it, an empty sandbag (item 1540) can be filled to a full sandbag (item 1541). You need to have a shovel (item 1015) in your second hand. You will notice the new hammer cursor
- by using a full sandbag, you can build a sandbag barrier
- by using a concertina stack, you can build a concertina wire barrier
- this only works if the current map has sandbags/concertina wire in its tileset
- with a shovel in your hand, you can remove a sandbag barrier
- changed the size of shovel so it can actually be put in inventories. It was also necessary to remove its ability to be used as a melee weapon.

- new variables for additional strength, dexterity, agility, wisdom and experience level due to drugs, traits etc.
- new flagmask for soldiers (so no new variables have to be added in the future)
- fix: stat-altering drugs work again and can now have a higher magnitude

o Minor feature added: Shift+RMB click on a gun with ammo inside, will now unload its magazine and place it on your cursor (if not holding anything already). You don't have to go to the weapon description box to unload it.
o Added Throwing trait support for NCTH (was left out before) and added a minor tweak to STOMP+NCTH compatibility.
o Fixed a bug in NCTH when aiming levels of very fast-to-aim guns could be lowered below zero during calculation, which resulted in suddenly giving the gun 8 aim levels making it extremely slow to aim instead. This occurs when you use a pistol with reflex sights with a Gunslinger merc. In the "AllowedAimingLevelsNCTH" the value "aimLevels" was defined as UINT8, so when it goes below 0, it becomes 255 and is then capped at 8. Changed it to signed.
- IIS fix (by Sandro)
o Interrupts on hearing now occur only in meaningful situations - either when enemy attacks us or comes very close to us.
o Added some other IIS tweaks and fixes (first of all the top status bar should now work properly).

o This allows you to toggle between a gun's different scopes via the '.' key. Y
o You get the boni for vison, tunnel vison, sight range, scope magnification etc. only for the scope you use.
o 2 new ja2_options.ini properties: USE_SCOPE_MODES, DISPLAY_SCOPE_MODES: Allows the display of an icon on your gun, to tell what scope is currently in use. If it is a scope, the magnification factor also gets written. Both options can be found under the [Tactical Gameplay Settings] section in the ja2_options.ini
o new tag in items.xml (<attachmentclass>) now enables to specifiy what an attachment can do. At the moment used by grenades/rockets/scopes/sights. Items.xml changed accordingly, modders need to add this tag for those items.
o More infos: First post in: http://www.ja-galaxy-forum.com/board/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=303038&#Post303038

o You can now attach weapons to other weapons (only one at a time). Comes with additional fire modes (by cycling in tactical with key 'b')
o A new item, the KAC masterkey, demonstrates this. Raider and Kelly have one in their starting kit 4. (pics by smeagol)
o works both in OCTh and NCTH. Aiming is done via the main gun, but all physical values of the attached gun are considered.
o reload an underbarrel gun while it is attached by dropping the ammo on the main gun while an underbarrel fire mode is active. Cycle firemodes in tactical by pressing 'b'
o Attachments to underbarrel weapons are inseparable while weapon is attached, but they do work.
- Overheating weapons additions (by Flugente)

o Added ja2set.dat.xml file (WF map version in WF maps folder) to be used instead of ja2set.dat file (ja2.ini setting added) For now, if you want to play vanilla instead, just change the setting in the ini (see comments in file).
o Added P4-P9Items image files (up to 5k images each) and tileslots. 1.13 core items will continue to use Guns and P1-P3Items for the foreseeable future. P4-P9 can be used by customizers/modders to avoid conflicts with Guns/P1-P3 items. TODO: Need to discuss a strategy for this in the forums.
o Added in Ambient/0.bad and 32.bad to avoid an exception in the code.
o Updated the XML Editor
o Standardized the text on all the ammo items.
- New Multiplayer Feature: Sharing same FOV (field of view) in a coop/team-dm (for friendly teams) game
o You will also see enemies, that your teammate sees

*** Improved interrupt system (IIS) ***

o Option system (see ja2_options.ini: IMPROVED_INTERRUPT_SYSTEM)

o You can set an AP/BP modifier when walking/sidestepping with weapon raised in APBPConstants.ini: AP_MODIFIER_WEAPON_READY
o The following feature apply when you walk/sidestep with weapon raised:
-> limited angle of view, but you can see more farther when the weapon has a scope
-> better change for interrupts if you see an enemy
-> less APs and BPs when shooting, because the weapon is already raised
-> It should cost more APs when walking. Maybe you can export the additional AP and BP modifier to the APBPConstants.ini
*** Increase squad size to 8 (800x600) and 8 and 10 (1024x768) ***
o Squad sizes (dependend on the screen resolution) can be selected in the start new game screen
