- externalised texts for cleaning, food, corpse handling and covert ops
- tripwire can now be defused even if it does not have a blue flag. When having a wirecutter in the main hand, click on the planted tripwire while crouched, the defuse dialogue will show up.
- corpses spawned from items will behave according to the zombie spawn rules
- fixed a few glitches with the covert ops trait
- fixed a bug that gave the 'mounted' bonus on a roof

- guns can now be attached to tripwire and then be used as tripwire-activatd traps
o Attach any firearm (any gun, no RPGs, Mortars or GLs) to a piece of tripwire. You will need the newest xmls for that.
o You can plant the tripwire as you usually do.
o Once activated, the gun that is attached to the wire will fire once. It will fire in the direction that you planted the bomb, just like claymore mines do (the direction that the merc planting the wire was looking).
o The bullet fired has the range and damage it would have if fired from the gun.
o The gun correctly heats, jams, degrades and whatever else guns do when fired. If the gun is jammed, not pumped (pumpguns) or does not have ammo, it will not fire.
o After firing, the gun lies on the floor, just where the trp was planted.
o This can be applied to any tripwire. You can ave multiple of these traps. Just put them into your normal trap setup however you like.
o At the moment, only single shots are possible, even for guns that do not have a single shot mode (MG3 etc.)
o Although I did not experience any problems with attachments, it might be a good idea to take any attachments off a gun if you attach it to tripwire.
o When the gun is attached, it is possible to attach gun attachments (lasers, scopes etc.) to the explosive. Do not attach any attachments to the explosive. They will be lost if the wire is activated.

-> To support this feature, some (already existing) xml-tags have been added to the weapons in Data-1.13\TableData\Items.xml (<nasAttachmentClass>, <AttachmentPoint>, <AttachToPointAPCost>, <Attachment>)
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5331 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- allows creating of complex tripwire networks, that behave differently depending on where they are activated. Different networks can overlap, allowing a wide range of trap network designs
- added network-specific view methods (ALT + Shift + C)
- added new dialogues when planting tripwire
New feature: remote defusing of mines (by Flugente)
- the new items Remote Defuse and Remote Combo allow to remotely defuse a bomb that has been planted. Simply select a frequency for defusing upon planting the mine. This frequency is of course treated differently than a detonation frequency.
New feature: directional frag explosions (by Flugente)
- the tag <Directional>1</Directional> in Items.xml allows an explosive to be directional. Frags caused by its explosion will fly in the direction determined by the merc planting them.
- the tags <ubHorizontalDegree> and <ubVerticalDegree> in Explosives.xml determine the arc in which the frags will fly.
New feature: makeshift mines (by Flugente)
- you can now create mines out of grenades: simply merge tripwire with them. You can then use them like regular mines. They can also be activated by your tripwire networks.
- With a simple item transformation in the UDB, you can transform a makeshift mine back to a grenade and a piece of tripwire.
Minor changes (by Flugente)
- metal detector now only works if used in hands
- wire cutters give a bonus if in hands while defusing tripwire or tripwire-activatable mines/bombs
- added new message boxes with 8 and 16 buttons
- increased the maximum number of bullets that can be on screen from 200 to 1000 (necessary for mass claymore explosions)
- the tags <Detonator> and <RemoteDetonator> are not used anymore, as those properties can be set via flags in <AttachmentClass>. For now, they still remain in the xmls though.
WARNING! This will break savegame compatibility!

- Display bombs/mines/tripwires planted by your team
Red is for bomb/mine, yellow is for tripwire and orange is for both at the same tile.
o ALT + END: only display as long as the hotkey is pressed
o ALT + SHIFT + V: toggle permanent display on/off
- Display ALL (also enemy) planted BOMBS / MINES / TRIPWIRE when the selected merc has a metal detector in his hand
o ALT + DEL only display as long as the hotkey is pressed
o ALT + Shift + C toggle permanent display on/off

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 New option OVERHEATING_DISPLAY_THERMOMETER_RED_OFFSET controls how red the temperature bar is at the beginning.
o New option OVERHEATING_SET_ZERO_UPON_NEW_SECTOR sets temperature of items on the floor to zero if loading a new sector

** Merged Source Code from Development trunk, for the Spring 2011 Release **
****************************************************************************
o Development Trunk (Revision: 4444): https://81.169.133.124/source/ja2/branches/Wanne/JA2%201.13%20MP
o This trunk (the official 1.13 source trunk) will only be used for fixing bugs. No new features will be added here.
New Features are only included in the Development trunk
o !!! After we have fixed a bug here in this trunk, we should MANUALLY merge the bugfix in the development trunk !!!

- Removed a line of code which fiddled with chance to hit calculation.
- Cover Display now works correctly with multiple enemies.
- Cover Display has no problems with stance anymore.

Camo and other effects are taken into account when aiming at a body part
Max Distance Visible is more consistent in being calculated based on the soldier and direction rather than a fixed number

Editor: Fix for use of uninitialized variable in undo
Editor: Fix for clipping bounds that are offscreen (causes crash)
Fix for AP bonus reading from INI
Fix mine indexes when looking for creature infestation of mines
Final (?) fix for militia reinforcements. Also a change: If you refuse reinforcements, none will come for the entirety of the battle
Increase size of cover and LOS grids to fit max radius
Fix for uninitialized light level in DistanceVisible
Move CheckForEndOfBattle to end of ReduceAttackBusy, to remove a possible militia invalidate upon promotion
Change the way Alt-L handles reloading
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@1142 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
Added missing #includes
Added LUA scripting and console
Changed the way tracers are visualized, so they work more like real tracers instead of a light fountain
Fixed signedness of many grid variables used in GetMouseMapPos calls
Fixed enemy weapon choosing: Sometimes a mortar is chosen but later rejected, but the grenade class was not reset. Caused assertion failure
Added checks so enemies don't try to chuck RPG grenades with their hands
Now possible to shoot a someone in the head if he's in water
Fixed InitSightArrays to also clear soldier interrupt duel points. This was causing an assertion failure elsewhere in the code because the interrupt list still had soldiers on it sometimes when this function was called.
Soldiers are much less willing to forfeit their turn over an attempt to use more APs than they have
Removed early setting of muzzle flash. This would allow enemies to get an interrupt before you even fired.
Fixed item dropping by AI. If AI tried to drop something while standing it would cause deadlock
Change to greatly speed up closing the sector inventory window in an unloaded sector
Added conditional compile flag to always give robot weapon ready advantage, even for 360 degree sighting
Check builddefines.h for the conditional flags. Of greatest interest might be LUA_CONSOLE. This will cause the game to bring up a command console when run. However this console is severely lacking in many areas. If anybody knows of an open-source terminal/console that could be used instead, it would be appreciated. The existing console does bad things when you try to close it, and since it counts as a separate app, it pauses the game while it has focus.
LUA scripting is very limited, basically just proof of concept. There is one global variable, the Soldiers array. An array index gives you the soldier in that slot in the currently loaded sector. The soldier has a few things that can be accessed: name (short name); fullname (long name); grid (current grid #, can be changed); walkto(grid) (function to walk to another grid); runto(grid) (function to run to another grid)
