- fix: enemy taunts aimed at NOBODY could cause out of range,
- fix: list of boxers fought per day is properly reset when fight club reopens,

- fix: boxing opponents won't try to call reinforcements any more.

- 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.

o This file is OPTIONAL and if not available, the game uses the default music tracks
o With the user of the Music.lua script file, you can play different musics and types for each sector (*.WAV or *.OGG)
o An example of the usage has been added to "Docs\Externalized Music Example.zip"
o See comments from the Music.lua scripts below
--[[
AddMusic(SectorX,SectorY,SectorZ,MusicType,MusicID)
MusicType :
1 - standard music, sector no enemy (NOTHING_xxx.wav or NOTHING_xxx.ogg)
2 - enemy in sector (TENSOR_xxx.wav or TENSOR_xxx.ogg)
3 - start battle (BATTLE_xxx.wav or BATTLE_xxx.ogg)
4 - victory (TRIUMPH_xxx.wav or TRIUMPH_xxx.ogg)
5 - death merc (DEATH_xxx.wav or DEATH_xxx.ogg)
xxx - number file
MusicID - id of music
Put to "Music" folder ogg or wav file. We number the names of files NOTHING_0.wav... NOTHING_10.wav ... etc
Example :
AddMusic(1,10,0,1,0) -- add to sector A10, music type "1" and file NOTHING_0.wav or NOTHING_0.ogg.
AddMusic(1,10,1,1,0) -- add to sector A10_B1, music type "1" and file NOTHING_0.wav or NOTHING_0.ogg.
AddMusic(1,9,0,2,10) -- add to sector A9, music type "2" and file TENSOR_10.wav or TENSOR_10.ogg.
for x = 1,16 do
for y = 1,16 do
AddMusic(x,y,0,1,10) -- add to all sector, music type "1" and file NOTHING_10.wav or NOTHING_10.ogg.
end

o new ja2_options.ini property: GRID_EXIT_IN_TURNBASED

- Rework/Update: Ammo boxes and Ammo crates
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 Changed ammo filtering in BR's to display boxes appropriately. Added back the "Mag:" display (changed text to "Size:")
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
