- two new options in ja2options.ini
ALTERNATIVE IMP CREATION
- adds new additional backgrounds, exclusive to this option
- which IMP backgrounds will be available at selection is determined by previously made choices for skills, character traits and disablities
- if a tag in background is contradicting to content of skill/character/disability, it won't be shown at selection
- what's considered contradicting is based on what's been found in code for conntent of skill/character/disability
- i.e. HeatIntolerant adds a penalty for desert and tropical sectors, so don't show backgrounds that add bonus for those sectortypes instead
- a new tag <alt_impcreation, has been added to backgrounds for this as well
- if that tag is found, it will be considered as additional IMP background exclusive to the option
REDUCED IMP CREATION
- same as above, but this time only the new additional backgrounds will be avaialable at selection
- same rules for possible restrictions to be shown
ALTERNATIVE IMP CREATION is required for REDUCED IMP CREATION to work
For ja2options.ini, a new category, "Backgrounds" was created.
This will contain the two new options and the general option to enable backgrounds
Accompanying changes in gamedir:
INIEditorJA2Options.xml
ja2options.ini
backgrounds.xml
* Use ConvertGridNoToCenterCellXY instead of CenterX & CenterY
* Add direction utility function
We have a lot of places in the code that calculate direction based on center cell coordinates, but lack a utility function for it similar to other direction methods.
* Use utility function for calculating direction
* Use ConvertGridNoToCenterCellXY
* Use utility function for direction
* Use ConvertGridNoToCenterCellXY instead of CenterX & CenterY
* Use ConvertGridNoToCenterCellXY instead of CenterX & CenterY
* Remove CenterX & CenterY functions
Use ConvertGridNoToCenterCellXY instead
* Remove CenterX & CenterY calls from UB configuration
* Address review feedback
* Remove duplicate function
ConvertGridNoToCenterCellXY and ConvertMapPosToWorldTileCenter do the exact same thing
* Use PythSpacesAway instead of GetRangeFromGridNoDiff
Both functions calculate the same thing
* Remove GetRangeFromGridNoDiff
* Remove calls to abs()
The values end up being squared anyways making these unnecessary
* Flashlight changes:
- Fixed the lighted area being way too large in the diagonal directions.
- Added a minimum range to simulate a flashlight user not illuminating its feet.
- Added angle based calculations instead of the hardcoded one.
* Flashlight changes, MR feedback.
DrawTraitRadius uses usColour.
Allow to start dragging from any stance, soldier will crouch automatically.

git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@9369 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- use effective experience level when calculating base suppression tolerance, so nearby squad leaders may raise effective level and help fight suppression
- if NEARBY_FRIENDLIES_AFFECT_TOLERANCE option is active, nearby friends can help increase suppression tolerance, up to +-3 points added depending on distance, only for merc bodytypes
CheckStatusNearbyFriendlies: minor code improvements, fixed variable names, use INT16 for calculation
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@9182 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- fixed camera action AP cost shown and made soldier to turn towards target
- fixed handcuffs, jar and can actions AP cost shown calculating pathing cost twice and not calculating stance change at all
- fixed refueling and repairing pathing leading to inside vehicle

- fixed endless clock issue when trying to repair vehicle/SAM site during combat
- fixed refuel, repair and jar actions not costing any AP in turn based mode

- allowed to start repairs on robot manually from tactical mode
still a problem:
- repairing during combat still does nothing as soldiers cannot go into assignment while there are enemies on map
- we need new function to return action gridno for actions on vehicles, FindAdjacentGridEx is not working very well
- soldiers doesn't turn during interactive actions
