o See: builddefines.h: #define ENABLE_ZOMBIES (then you can turn on/off Zombies in the ingame option screen)
o Poison system is still in the code and not combined with the option "Zombie MOD"
o Gamers reported on the Bears Pit, that an executable compiled WITH the Zombies mod enabled makes the game unplayable slow in tactical screen after a few minutes in turn based/realtime

2. USE_XML_TILESETS moved from JA2.ini to JA2Options.ini
3. New Feature - Ctrl+Click on an item with an item in hand to auto-attach/merge them. Attach works with stacks. Merge only works on single items, for now at least.
4. New Feature - To accompany Quiet Training, there are now Quiet Repairing and Quiet Doctoring options.
5. Bugfix - inseparable attachments of attachments were getting lost again when using ctrl+f/the map screen button to remove attachments
6. Bugfix - INT8 overflow error causing vehicle repair to actually lower its status
7. GasMask tag in items.xml can now be applied to helmets as well as face items.
8. Bugfix - AI code was referencing hard coded GASMASK item number instead of looking for the tag
9. Bugfix - "break;" was removed in Explosion Control.cpp, thereby causing mustard gas to deal out fire damage. (Not sure if this was deliberate? But the new implementation differs from the JA2 standard, so it should be added to JA2Options.ini at least)

o if set to off, no zombies will spawn. This can also be changed in mid-game
o for more information on how this works and how to set it up, see http://www.bears-pit.com/board/ubbthreads.php/topics/295746/Zombies_WH40K_and_more.html#Post295746
o with the tag <PoisonPercentage>, you can now poison guns or ammo. This is the percentage of damage dealt that will be poisonous (see zombie thread for an explanation)
o The zombie option can only be enabled in a single player game
o AI fix: to prevent the endless clock problem, the AI now ends the turn if the same actor calls the decision routine over 100 times in a single turn.

Notes:
-There may still be bugs!! (In fact, I almost guarantee it -- there's
-Ammo box code added to HR's crate code
-Splitting a crate/box also automatically refills half empty magazines
-new pathing arrows for map screen not included
-code for scouts to know where enemies are going doesn't appear to work... but i'm not sure it was completed.
-lots of gobledy gook (chinese?) comments turned back to english
-also added Bob's popups
-other languages besides english still need to have there language.cpp files updated with array changes
-AI enhancements by Warmsteel (reloading, suppression, roaming, avoiding gas, and other fixes)

Added support for Russian city names and Items
Fixed contract length exploit (hire merc for 2 weeks for the price of 1 day)
Fixed insurance emails repeating when you choose "delete" but then say no
Corrected UTF-8 to wide char translation on Windows platforms (Windows doesn't handle mbstowcs correctly)
Moved UTF-8 to Wide Char translation for item descriptions and names so it happens at XML load time (fix bug that Russian has half the description space)
Fix overflow when combining two items with high counts (such as 200-round boxes of ammo)
Path AI fixes
Fixed issues with non-interruptable animations causing infinite clock
Fixed some issues with soldiers not reaching their plotted destination
Fixed escorted players who were cowering, being unable to move after joining party
Only allow militia to climb roofs if their orders allow them to move
Fix bug where AI might climb the wrong roof on the way to the destination roof
Allow AI who have gone outside their patrol grid, to return to the Grid

Prevent merc in slot 0 from disappearing due to errant schedule. Still need to find and fix schedule though
Prevent attempts to turn or climb roof when soldier collapsed
Fix problems when mortar or RPG randomly assigned to a soldier but cannot be added for whatever reason
Pathing favors beginning path on orthogonal and using as few turns as possible (mostly old behavior).
Prevent interruptions when soldier climbs up, which can cause fall into building just below the target roof position
Fix pauses due to soldiers hurt in previous turn
Fix soldier path not reaching destination when thrown by explosion damage or heavy gunfire
Restore pathing to cave and underground exits
Fix too many AI ending up on the roofs

Fix to prevent soldiers from climbing the wrong building while moving toward a disturbance
Fix to prevent soldiers from doing nothing when a climb point is not nearby
Fix improper indexing of directions
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@1533 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
Made direction variables more consistent as unsigned chars. Several function prototypes updated for this.
Many memory leaks plugged: External options, video overlays, laptop file lists, tactical message queue, strategic pathing, autobandage, merc hiring, detailed placements, crate in Drassen, tactical placement
New functions and attributes for soldiers in LUA (still for debugging at best): Soldier.APs (current APs), Soldier.changestance (changes stance, uses game heights)
File catalog ignores .SVN directories (game load speedup)
Fix CTD in mouse regions
JA2 window now refuses to move to negative coords
Checks to prevent DirectX-related infinite loops due to minimizing and task switching
Invading enemies should now appear on the borders even when reinforcements disabled in .ini
Suppression should no longer work on mercs in medium water
Infant/Young creatures use restored spit instead of Molotov
Creatures begin with their 'guns' (spit) 'locked and loaded' (cartridge in chamber)
Further fix to AXP and AlaarDB's weapon ready check: Now 'firing' is always counted as 'ready'.
Prevent mercs from falling and flying back through obstacles
Check whether battle group is even set before testing its location for battle setup
Burst spread locations now limited to 6, the limit within the soldier struct
Extra burst spread locations zeroed out so that they aren't used unless necessary
Spread code now only shoots at locations in the spread, and will shoot at all 6
Only mercs in the sector where autobandage happens will be made to stand up after it's done
Throwing a grenade at the tail of the plane in Drassen should not result in a CTD
Reset attack busy count when loading a new sector

Camo and other effects are taken into account when aiming at a body part
Max Distance Visible is more consistent in being calculated based on the soldier and direction rather than a fixed number

Added missing #includes
Added LUA scripting and console
Changed the way tracers are visualized, so they work more like real tracers instead of a light fountain
Fixed signedness of many grid variables used in GetMouseMapPos calls
Fixed enemy weapon choosing: Sometimes a mortar is chosen but later rejected, but the grenade class was not reset. Caused assertion failure
Added checks so enemies don't try to chuck RPG grenades with their hands
Now possible to shoot a someone in the head if he's in water
Fixed InitSightArrays to also clear soldier interrupt duel points. This was causing an assertion failure elsewhere in the code because the interrupt list still had soldiers on it sometimes when this function was called.
Soldiers are much less willing to forfeit their turn over an attempt to use more APs than they have
Removed early setting of muzzle flash. This would allow enemies to get an interrupt before you even fired.
Fixed item dropping by AI. If AI tried to drop something while standing it would cause deadlock
Change to greatly speed up closing the sector inventory window in an unloaded sector
Added conditional compile flag to always give robot weapon ready advantage, even for 360 degree sighting
Check builddefines.h for the conditional flags. Of greatest interest might be LUA_CONSOLE. This will cause the game to bring up a command console when run. However this console is severely lacking in many areas. If anybody knows of an open-source terminal/console that could be used instead, it would be appreciated. The existing console does bad things when you try to close it, and since it counts as a separate app, it pauses the game while it has focus.
LUA scripting is very limited, basically just proof of concept. There is one global variable, the Soldiers array. An array index gives you the soldier in that slot in the currently loaded sector. The soldier has a few things that can be accessed: name (short name); fullname (long name); grid (current grid #, can be changed); walkto(grid) (function to walk to another grid); runto(grid) (function to run to another grid)

- updated breaklight effect to use the radius and duration values from Explosives.xml
- updated tracer bullet lighting effect (will probably require more tweaking)
- updated AI - when trapped in gas in Insane the AI goes nuts instead of getting scared. AI in all levels is more likely to use autofire over burst/single fire when in gas (panicking).
