Minor fixes/improvements for existing features (by Sevenfm)
- Removed some unnecessary options for SHOW_HEALTHBARSOVERHEAD, SHOW_COVER_INDICATOR.
- New option: ENEMY_CLOCK_SPEED_PERCENT - set clock speed during enemy turns.
With this option, player can set default speed to comfortable value (100-120) and set increased speed for enemy turns (150-200).

More visual enemy gear info (by Sevenfm)
- Show additional info in NCTH cursor (press ALT) (ADDITIONAL_NCTH_CURSOR_INFO = 2)
-> You can only use this feature at certain distance
- Updated 'show enemy weapon' feature (SHOW_ENEMY_WEAPON = TRUE, SHOW_ENEMY_EXTENDED_INFO = TRUE)
- Now it can show armour and face items, too. Useful for OCTH users (SHOW_ENEMY_AWARENESS = TRUE)
- Show total value of damage, absorbed by armour in last attack (SHOW_HIT_INFO = TRUE)

- Moved the global location of the xml files from the "AdditionalProperties" to the "Tilesets\AdditionalProperties" folder because this place fits better
- Of course you can also add special tilesets xml files in the tilesets specific folders "Tilesets\XX"
- Addded missing INI value: COVER_SYSTEM_STATIC_SHADOWS_DECREASE_BRIGHTNESS
- Updated comments for COVER_SYSTEM_ADDITIONAL_TILE_PROPERTIES

- fix: data read from Data/AdditionalProperties,
- new tag: <bTrapBonus> + updated data for tiles, trap level influenced by terrain,
- new feature/option: COVER_SYSTEM_STATIC_SHADOWS_DECREASE_BRIGHTNESS.
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2_v1.13_data@1972 4f8fa57e-7814-0410-bad4-adc449f26b7c
- Feature can be completely disabled in .ini as COVER_SYSTEM_ADDITIONAL_TILE_PROPERTIES under Tactical Cover System Settings.
- With Additional Tile Properties it's possible to supply all tiles with additional data, just like with .jsd files, except in XML.
Files need to have same name as tile's .sti and .jsd files, and be put in \tilesets\AdditionalProperties\, or in specific \tilesets\xx\.
- With additional properties it's possible to specify which camo type, and how effectively will work on any tile. Only snow camo will work on snow covered roofs, red carpet in palace won't perfectly cooperate with urban camo anymore, thick grass in the middle of the forest will provide better camouflage than sparse grass near the road.
- It's now possible to specify footstep volume and stealth difficulty modifier of any tile. Carpets will absorb noise, tile floors amplify it, twigs laying on the tile will make sneaking harder. Choose your path carefully, taffer.

2) SOLDIER_TOOLTIP_DISPLAY_SUPPRESSION_INFO = TRUE

1) ENEMY_HIT_COUNT in ja2_options.ini accepts 2 new parameters:
3 - show damage as white asterisks
4 - show damage as red asterisks
Number of asterisks is scaled (maximum 5): >0, >10, >30, >60, >100
2) Suppression tactical tooltip now shows suppression points from last attacks.
Previously it was always = 0 because ubSuppressionPoints value is cleared after each attack.
3) It is now possible to show suppression values above soldier, just as hit count.
There are new options in ja2_options.ini
Possible values:
0 - do not show
1 - show on moving hit counter
2 - show above soldier
The values are color coded:
Suppression is light gray
Shock is yellow
AP loss is blue
Morale hit is green
SHOW_SUPPRESSION_COUNT = 0
SHOW_SHOCK_COUNT = 0
SHOW_AP_COUNT = 0
SHOW_MORALE_COUNT = 0
This option defines if values are shown as numbers or asterisks (1..5, using scale)
SHOW_SUPPRESSION_USE_ASTERISK = FALSE
This option defines if only 1 asterisk is shown or several (1..5) to represent value
SHOW_SUPPRESSION_SCALE_ASTERISK = TRUE
Show suppression above soldier during enemy attack. All other values are shown after attack, when HandleSuppressionFire function is calculated.
SHOW_SUPPRESSION_COUNT_ALT = TRUE
------------

- randomized gear kits are now an ini setting: MERCS_RANDOM_GEAR_KITS = TRUE/FALSE.
I made the gear randomization optional because it seems to cause trouble for people that don't use AIMNAS. SO hopefully this still lets them enjoy the random merc feature!

- Moved "EnemyTaunts.xml" to "EnemyTaunts\EnemyTaunts.xml". Required by EXE Revision >= 6659
- Added new Taunts_Settings.INI property: TAUNT_CENSORED_MODE (set to TRUE if you want a more lighter version of enemy taunts)
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2_v1.13_data@1884 4f8fa57e-7814-0410-bad4-adc449f26b7c
- new INI option: IMPROVED_BOMB_PLANTING
- With new option IMPROVED_BOMB_PLANTING = TRUE, if you hold SHIFT key while planting new mine, then another mine with same item id will be taken automatically from your merc's inventory. If no such item found, any mine will be taken. If you plant tripwire-triggered mine, then only tripwire-triggered items will be taken. This new feature work only in realtime.
If you are making tripwire network, then this feature can be used to plant another tripwire item with network and hierarchy settings taken from previously planted tripwire. You just plant tripwire as usual, selecting it's settings from dialogue, then if you plant another one while holding SHIFT key, those settings will be used for new tripwire, instead of showing you dialogue
- I hope this small improvement will save you some time for building large and complicated defensive minefields.
