Update (Rev. 7124): Enhanced Description Box (EDB) Compare Feature (by anv)

- all columns can be compared - base value, modifier and final value too.

Fixes (by Buggler)
- Show map gridno with hotkey 'F' in release build as well for more informative map-related bug reports
- Fixed skipping of bloodcat battles using hotkey 'Esc' in prebattle interface when battle initiated at strategic screen

- Covert Ops: Bleeding is deemed suspicious only if COVERT_DETECTEDIFBLEEDING is set to TRUE.
- renamed special prisoners to officers.
- lowered the priority of enemy troops becoming medics
- prisoners in player-controlled prisons now use the prioner-colour scheme used by Shank and Dynamo
Requires GameDir >= r2028.

- Flagmasks are unsigned, and should be called and treated as such
- Fix: experience gain from interrogation was too high
- Fix: chance of a prisoner becoming militia was calculated wrong
- default weight maximum for MOVE ITEM assignment increased from 30 to 40 kg
- Fix: snitches report the same event multiple times
- Fix: snitches treat vehicles as persons
- Fix: selection of launchables is inefficient, an does not take into account wether items are depending on day/night cycle
- new key combination: in strategic, pressing [CTRL] + [E] wile both a merc's inventory and the sector inventory are open will fill the merc's inventory with sector items
- trivial code cleanup
- if prisoners are taken in a sector that houses a prison, that prison can also be selected to house them
- Fix: distributing newly taken prisoners in a prison sector no longer redistributes all prisoners, only the new ones
- GetClosestFlaggedSoldierID can also be called without evaluation of sight
- Fix: Covert Ops: throwing/lobbing items or shooting rockets is deemed suspicious behaviour
- Fix: boxing was broken by loading a savegame
- Fix: campaign history rarely recorded kills in autoresolve
- There is no reason why the IDs that boxers are reset to before they are reinitialised would ever need to be altered by a modder. Required script change in stable GameDir r2024.

- 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,

Externalized keys and locks to xml (by anv)
- Locks (TableData/Items/Locks.xml): Originally 64 locks were kept in BinaryData/LOCKS.BIN. Now up to 255 locks can be specified in TableData/Locks.xml. If it isn't found, LOCKS.BIN will be loaded normally.
- Keys (TableData/Items/Keys.xml): Originally 10 keys were hardcoded in KeyTable[]. Now up to 255 keys can be specified in TableData/Keys.xml. If it isn't found, hardcoded array will be used normally.

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,
- small fix for knife/wire cutters combo where using it on empty grid would cause deadlock during battle.

- ja2_options.ini: MAX_BACKPACK_WEIGHT_TO_CLIMB, USE_GLOBAL_BACKPACK_SETTINGS
- First setting is sBackpackWeightToClimb which 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.
Second setting is fUseGlobalBackpackSettings which if true (default) uses the same rules for all backpacks, while if false it checks for the fAllowClimbing tag in items.xml, and if that is true you can climb with said 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.

Bugfixes (by anv)
- autofeeding bug,
- drop items on dismiss optimization,
- effectiveness of suppression was increased/decreased with every influenced soldier if set to other than default 100,
- item status changed to INT16 on item create - item status is also used to specify amount of money (*50), if NPC had a lot of money in his starting gear, its amount would be incorrect.

Enhancements (by Buggler)
- Dynamic tactical squad hotkeys only take into account squads present in sector; freed back 11-20 tactical squad hotkeys as 10 dynamic squad hotkeys would be sufficient (thanks to Sevenfm)
- Externalized 'blinded by blast' hardcoded text
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@7133 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
Updates/Improvements (by Sevenfm)
1. Quick inventory items:
Press [ALT] + [1..0] for quick access to predefined items in tactical (ja2_options.ini: QUICK_ITEM_0 to QUICK_ITEM_9)
Press [ALT] + [`] (tilde key left to [1]) to put item back to inventory and switch hands.
The item will be put in the same slot it was taken from (unless it was stacked or game was reloaded).
2. Also a few quick hotkeys:
[ALT] + [q] - switch to sling (same as [SHIFT] + [k])
[CTRL] + [q] - switch hands
[SHIFT] + [q] - drop item from main hand to the ground
Additional info:
-some hotkeys do not work in cheat mode
-only NIV
-only one-handed items supported
-stacked items currently not supported
-remembered item slot is lost when you reload game
3. A few small fixes for dynamic tooltips and other things
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@7130 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
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).

Updates/Fixes (by Sevenfm)
1. Added grenade throwing range modifier to item_settings.ini:
RANGE_GRENADE_MODIFIER = 1.0
This modifier is applied to grenades and regular thrown items.
2. Changed 100 to bBreathMax in throwing range penalty calculation. This should make grenades more useful.
3. Minor visual fixes (alt healthbar placement, 'roof' text placement when SHOW_ENEMY_WEAPON is true )
4. Added xml tags for merge type <13>: you can use u.knife on tripwire roll to get 2 tripwires. Status of tripwire roll will be reduced by 2 points.
Also lookup table for merges is updated for xml editor to work correctly.
5. Added several new loadscreenhints.
6. Press 'y' in tactical for quick transformation of item in hand - useful for switching flashlights on and off.

3) Several minor fixes.

Radio operator improvements:
- if RADIO_OPERATOR_JAMMING_BLOCKSRADIOBOMBS is TRUE, radio operator jamming will prevent remote activation or defusing of bombs. Quest-related remotes are still active.
- if RADIO_OPERATOR_ENEMY_JAMMINGSETSOFFRADIOBOMBS is TRUE, there is a small chance that jamming enemy radio operators will set of remote bombs/defuses
- removing a radio set from inventory ends scanning/jamming
