- Streamlined vehicle controls - no more selecting driver and vehicle separately, switching displayed APs and other esoteric activities. To move vehicle just select its driver and you're good to go. If you click on vehicle in tactical, also its driver will be selected automatically. Besides driving car, driver can perform other actions normally.
- Vehicle's APs, health and fuel are displayed on the steering wheel - thanks to Buggler for idea. Vehicle APs are treated as a resource (so if car changes driver mid-turn, it won't go any further than it would).
- Added option Tactical Interface Settings > ADD_PASSENGER_TO_ANY_SQUAD. If you order passenger to exit vehicle by clicking on the seat belt, he'll be added to new squad, so if you ordered six passengers to exit one by one, you'd end up with six new squads. With ADD_PASSENGER_TO_ANY_SQUAD = TRUE, passenger will be added to any existing squad with empty slot if possible.
- Added option Tactical Interface Settings > PASSENGER_LEAVING_SWITCH_TO_NEW_SQUAD. If you order passenger to exit vehicle by clicking on the seat belt, by default you get switched to his new squad. With PASSENGER_LEAVING_SWITCH_TO_NEW_SQUAD = FALSE you'll switch only if exiting passenger is the selected one.
- Cosmetic fix: changed display above vehicle from "*Merc's name* (VEHICLE)" to "*Merc's name* (*Vehicle's name*)" and colour from yellow to white (since mercs in vehicle are controllable and yellow is reserved for mercs on assignments).
- Fixed passengers rotation. Again.
- Fixed vehicles getting "tired" - lowered APs due to fuel below max. They can move the same as long as they have any fuel.
- Fixed unrelated bug: clicking on any empty slot in team panel would select merc with id 0.
- Fixed unrelated bug: switching to squad with less mercs would cause team panel to still show skill tooltips for mercs from previous squad on empty slots.

Enhanced Description Box (EDB) Compare Feature (by anv & Buggler)
- Now, when alt key is pressed, statistics of any item displayed in Description Box will change to show comparison with another items in sector inventory, allowing for quick revision of available equipment.
Two items can be compared, if they belong to the same class, with exception of:
- armor items can be compared only if they are of the same type (vest vs vest, helmet vs helmet, no point in comparing item if it can't be replaced by),
- weapons can be compared with any other weapon (including throwing knives vs guns, knives vs blunt weapons, etc.),
- explosives - bombs can be compared with grenades too (makes sense since TNT can be armed and thrown too).

o Ammo crate items added for remaining calibers. Tweaked prices to correspond to magazines, tweaked capacities and weights to be reasonable (~800 or less).
o Shift-R reload now looks at both boxes and crates in sector items and merc's inventory to reload, and tops off magazines in inventory as well. Only possible outside of combat.
o Ctrl-Shift-A still creates crates as per usual, with some fixes to ensure all ammo is caught on the first press.
o Shift-A now creates ammo boxes in the same loop. They mostly behave like crates, but fit in mercs inventories.
o Ammo boxes are available to purchase at BR and tony, sam, etc. Individual magazines/drums/etc are no longer available.
o Removed ammo crate xml tag. Added ubMagType tag to Magazines array. This allows us to differentiate between magazines, bullets, boxes and crates.

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.

git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@4446 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
Minor adjustments to some of the rendering functions to grant a bit more control to the code.
Adjusted the mouse areas for key and item popup windows.
Added the pocket capacity indicator to sector inventory when using NewInv mode.
Added the right click option to sector inventory so you can view/manipulate stacks and view item descriptions without first equiping an item.
Updated sector inventory so that capacity values appear in all pockets. Not just currently filled one.
Updated sector inventory so that newly placed items could be right-clicked on for details.
Increased the mouse region for the various stack popups so there is always room to close the popup without activating the description box.
Fixed a bug in the sector inventory description panel that caused a crash when trying to remove an attachment.
Fixed sector inventory so you can add attachments to weapons.
Fixed some weight issues.
Fixed a crash resulting from right-clicking in sector inventory while Item Desc window was already open.

Updated the Item Description windows so you can load a gun as well as unload.
Added new CTRL+SHIFT+D hotkey to delete all items in sector.
Added new CTRL+SHIFT+S hotkey to sell all items in sector, assuming you have the ALT+LMB option turned on in your INI file.
Fixed a problem with sector inventory item description where the status did not appear for items that couldn't stack.
Fixed a problem with Nails so he always starts with his leather jacket, even if you don't buy his gear.
Incorporated a failsafe so that NewInv mode can't be selected, nor NIV saves loaded, when no custom data path is set.
Add new IC_BELTCLIP item class.
Update pocket definition restrictions to use bitwise compare.
Add failsafe so that you can't merge LBENODEs.
Reset VC2005 so it doesn't point to a specific drive.
