- Fix: When dropping an item in strategic inventory, height values are not set
- Fix: When looking for a valid gridno to drop items t via strategic inventory, WORLD_ITEM_REACHABLE is not reliable, as updated map topology trumps this. Instead rely upon finding a valid gridno once the sector is entered.
- Fix: when searching for a new item dropoff gridno, search for new height too
- Fix: if items are spawned mid-air, the player cannot retrieve them

- Fix: sandbags could only be jumped if their height was < 2. A structure with a .jsd-size of 1 barely offers protection, thus limiting the usefulness of sandbags. From now on, sandbags with a height of 2 can also be jumped. Note: This requires a changed sandbag.jsd in GameDir.

- Moved item transformation hotkey from 'Y' to 'Shift + T' due to hotkey being used to call up chatbox in networked game

- externalised vehicle seats (TableData\Vehicles.xml) influence position of passenger, field of view, ability to shoot and being hidden,
- seat can chosen by using ctrl+RMB on vehicle (ctrl + LMB just takes the first visible seat)
- seats can be changed or swapped while inside vehicle,
- remade JSD files for cars,
- vehicles aren't transparent anymore,
- vehicles are louder than people, depending how fast they move.

- 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.

- To control vehicle, click on it or on the steering wheel in team panel under driver's portrait.
- Vehicles have two gears - slow drive and fast drive, switchable just like walking and running ('S', 'R', double-click).
- Vehicles working: Ice Cream Van, Hummer, Jeep, El Dorado and, potentially, tanks.
- Passengers can be selected and ordered to open fire from the inside
- You can also open inventory screen for passengers, pass or throw items, etc.
Normally vehicle is treated as any other merc and has its own APs. It has obvious disadvantages - it's possible to drive in the middle of the enemy group using vehicle's 100AP,
and then use all your mercs inside vehicle with their still full APs to kill everything that moves at point blank range - with even the driver participating!
- To prevent that you can set Tactical Gameplay Settings > AP_SHARED_AMONG_PASSENGERS_AND_VEHICLE_MODE with following calculation methods

- 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,

- 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.

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

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.
