o See file: TableData/Map/Cities.xml
o New variable in TableData/Map/Cities.xml

- The briefing room can be reached from the laptop. Enter SN5631 for the code and then click the "Exit" button
- See "Info_BriefingRoom.txt" and "BriefingRoom_Mission1.png"
*** Improved interrupt system (IIS) ***
o This system changes the way interrupts work. See: http://www.ja-galaxy-forum.com/board/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=290787#Post290787
o Option system (see ja2_options.ini: IMPROVED_INTERRUPT_SYSTEM)
o A few more settings for the interrupt system in ja2_options.ini
o INFO: Multiplayer games always use the "old" interrupt system, not matter what the user selects in the ja2_options.ini
*** Walking and sidestepping with weapon raised ***

o You can set an AP/BP modifier when walking/sidestepping with weapon raised in APBPConstants.ini: AP_MODIFIER_WEAPON_READY
o The following feature apply when you walk/sidestep with weapon raised:
-> limited angle of view, but you can see more farther when the weapon has a scope
-> better change for interrupts if you see an enemy
-> less APs and BPs when shooting, because the weapon is already raised
-> It should cost more APs when walking. Maybe you can export the additional AP and BP modifier to the APBPConstants.ini
*** Increase squad size to 8 (800x600) and 8 and 10 (1024x768) ***
o Squad sizes (dependend on the screen resolution) can be selected in the start new game screen
o In a multiplayer game, the squad size will always be 6, because it does not work with more soldiers/squad

o Merged the UB-1.13 source code (Revision: 4721) from svn: http://subversion.assembla.com/svn/ub-source113
o If you want to build UB-EXE or UB-MapEditor, just enable the 2 defines (JA2UB and JA2UBMAPS) in "builddefines.h"

o There are 2 new XML files

git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@2628 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- Fixed: Mercs randomly drop aimed weapons automatically under some weird circumstances

You can download the file from http://ja2.h758491.serverkompetenz.net/Wanne/NewOptionScreen/OPTIONSCREENADDONS2.sti
Put this file in your Data\Interface folder. If I build a new release I will upload the file to SVN GameDir and then remove it from my private download folder.

Minor adjustments to some of the rendering functions to grant a bit more control to the code.
Adjusted the mouse areas for key and item popup windows.
Added the pocket capacity indicator to sector inventory when using NewInv mode.
Added the right click option to sector inventory so you can view/manipulate stacks and view item descriptions without first equiping an item.
Updated sector inventory so that capacity values appear in all pockets. Not just currently filled one.
Updated sector inventory so that newly placed items could be right-clicked on for details.
Increased the mouse region for the various stack popups so there is always room to close the popup without activating the description box.
Fixed a bug in the sector inventory description panel that caused a crash when trying to remove an attachment.
Fixed sector inventory so you can add attachments to weapons.
Fixed some weight issues.
Fixed a crash resulting from right-clicking in sector inventory while Item Desc window was already open.
Fixed the "Active Squad" message so it displays the squad that is actually activated.
Fixed a bug that allowed you to start a new game in NewInv mode while in 640x480 resolution.
Updated the Item Description windows so you can load a gun as well as unload.
Added new CTRL+SHIFT+D hotkey to delete all items in sector.
Added new CTRL+SHIFT+S hotkey to sell all items in sector, assuming you have the ALT+LMB option turned on in your INI file.
Fixed a problem with sector inventory item description where the status did not appear for items that couldn't stack.
Fixed a problem with Nails so he always starts with his leather jacket, even if you don't buy his gear.
Incorporated a failsafe so that NewInv mode can't be selected, nor NIV saves loaded, when no custom data path is set.
Add new IC_BELTCLIP item class.
Update pocket definition restrictions to use bitwise compare.
Add failsafe so that you can't merge LBENODEs.
Reset VC2005 so it doesn't point to a specific drive.

Updated the Pockets.xml reader function so that we can include a german.pockets.xml and russian.pockets.xml (and any other language we eventually choose to support) just like we have with Items.xml.
I moved the "Sold Item" and "Delete Item" phrases to the language specific cpp files.
I updated the SHIFT+N hotkey so that it will now work from the strategic screen. On tactical it handles the entire team. On strategic, it handles only the one merc who is currently active.
I fixed a problem with the ALT+W cheat key so that it cycles properly.
I fixed a problem with the backpack buttons where the button key wasn't being properly deleted. This could sometimes cause an "overload" which would result in a crash.
