Gas grenades now don't cause direct damage on hit anymore. They will cause damage on start of turn or if you move inside a gas cloud. Of course gas mask still helps (except for creature gas and fire).
Every tile moved inside a gas cloud deals a percentage of the normal damage (default 10%). This is set in Item_Settings.ini (DAMAGE_HEALTH_MOVE_EXPLOSIVE_MODIFIER, DAMAGE_BREATH_MOVE_EXPLOSIVE_MODIFIER).
Tiles can now have multiple gas effects on them. Unfortunately this is not visualized (yet).
Smoke doesn't make a character immune to other gas types anymore.
The 25% chance of taking damage while moving through a gas cloud has been removed. Damage is now applied 100% of the time.
- New modifiers for explosive damage in Item_Settings.ini (DAMAGE_HEALTH_EXPLOSIVE_MODIFIER, DAMAGE_BREATH_EXPLOSIVE_MODIFIER). These could fully replace EXPLOSIVES_DAMAGE_MODIFIER in Ja2_Options.ini but I left that general modifier untouched for now.
- Some compiler warning fixes.

When swapping merc faces in tactical the game will now rebuild the mercs squad.
Changed NCTH behaviour for lasers:
When USE_NEW_CTH_CALCULATION = TRUE in Ja2_Options.ini the game now uses the item property <BestLaserRange> now for a laser specific bonus instead of <ProjectionFactor>. This bonus is a percentage reduction of the base aperture in NCTH. This functionality will only be used if one of the following new parameters in CTHConstants.ini is NOT 0.
LASER_PERFORMANCE_BONUS_HIP
LASER_PERFORMANCE_BONUS_IRON
LASER_PERFORMANCE_BONUS_SCOPE
This functionality also affects the laser property that is displayed in UDB.
Changed NCTH behaviour for Iron Sights and other 1x sights:
Iron sights and other 1x sights can now receive a bonus in NCTH to make them more useful compared to scopes. This bonus is a percentage reduction of the base aperture just like lasers can do.
There is a new parameter in CTHConstants.ini for this:
IRON_SIGHT_PERFORMANCE_BONUS

- specify random items in RandomItems.xml
- when the game creates a random item, it searches all vialbe items according to random item class and picks one randomly
- this allows mappers to place items in maps that are more independent of the xml-set used, however the random items themselves msut be the same in map&mod
- can also be used to broaden the enemy gun/item choices selection

- food and water levels are lowered every hour, eat food to survive
- not doing so leads to various penalties and ultimately death
- added food items for that purpose. Food can degrade over time. Rotten food poisons.
- Mercs automatically consume food if hungry/thirsty and food is in their inventories
- for more info, see http://www.bears-pit.com/board/ubbthreads.php/topics/307396/Re_Mercs_need_food_and_water_t.html#Post307396
- this feature requires new STI files from the GameDir trunk.
- added a bunch of filler variable to the soldier type, so hopefully savegame compatibility can be maintained easier in the future.

- corrected fortification cursor issues

- if the terrain allows it, an empty sandbag (item 1540) can be filled to a full sandbag (item 1541). You need to have a shovel (item 1015) in your second hand. You will notice the new hammer cursor
- by using a full sandbag, you can build a sandbag barrier
- by using a concertina stack, you can build a concertina wire barrier
- this only works if the current map has sandbags/concertina wire in its tileset
- with a shovel in your hand, you can remove a sandbag barrier
- changed the size of shovel so it can actually be put in inventories. It was also necessary to remove its ability to be used as a melee weapon.

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.

o This JA2 demo executable is as close as possible to the original JA2 demo, but with the 1.13 features!
--> No laptop, disabled strategy actions, auto merc hired, only P1 maps, ...

o 2 new ja2_options.ini properties: USE_SCOPE_MODES, DISPLAY_SCOPE_MODES: Allows the display of an icon on your gun, to tell what scope is currently in use. If it is a scope, the magnification factor also gets written. Both options can be found under the [Tactical Gameplay Settings] section in the ja2_options.ini

o Ctrl-Shift-A still creates crates as per usual, with some fixes to ensure all ammo is caught on the first press.
