- new feature: ramming people - set with Tactical Gameplay Settings > ALLOW_CARS_DRIVING_OVER_PEOPLE and Tactical Gameplay Settings > ALLOW_TANKS_DRIVING_OVER_PEOPLE - when shift is pressed planned vehicle route will go through people. Those who will stay on its path will be hit, causing wounds and knock-outs.

When vehicle hits the structure on its path it will be destroyed, causing small damage to vehicle too (with exception of tank).

- seat can chosen by using ctrl+RMB on vehicle (ctrl + LMB just takes the first visible seat)

- remade JSD files for cars,

- Fixed missing INI properties in Data\Ja2_Options.INI and Data-1.13\Ja2_Options.INI
- Added missing INI properties in Data\Skills_Settings.INI

- 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
ja2_options.ini: AP_SHARED_AMONG_PASSENGERS_AND_VEHICLE_MODE, AP_SHARED_AMONG_PASSENGERS_AND_VEHICLE_SCALE

- 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,
- For presentation purposes: Reuban's hedge trimmer using its original DG attack sound effect and making a lot of noise.

- ja2_options.ini: MAX_BACKPACK_WEIGHT_TO_CLIMB, USE_GLOBAL_BACKPACK_SETTINGS
MAX_BACKPACK_WEIGHT_TO_CLIMB 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.
If USE_GLOBAL_BACKPACK_SETTINGS is TRUE (default), it uses the same rules for all backpacks, while if FALSE checks for
the fAllowClimbing tag in Items.xml, and if that is true you can climb with the 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.
