- 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
- for more reference, see http://www.bears-pit.com/board/ubbthreads.php/topics/310793.html#Post310793
FIX: sector curfew value was interpreted wrong
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5594 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- Added: Separate message for 'no space' (used 'already there' as a placeholder before)
- Fixed: Exchanging attachments when we are near capacity for the carrier
- Fixed: The LBE shown in the description box now changes as well and as soon as you add/remove an attachment
- Changed: The attachment now transfers the first non-zero pocket to the carrier instead of simply the first
- Added: Tooltips now show the currently used and the available space of a carrier.
- Added: A modifier for the explosive damage in confined spaces (by DepressivesBrot). Implemented on a per-item basis using the new float tag <bIndoorModifier> in Explosives.xml (0.5 means 150% damage, 1.0 means 200% etc.)
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5552 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- LockPickModifier modifies the lockpick chance by a specific number. If the number is positive, it is proportional to the locksmith kit's status, if the number is negative, it will always be the same. Tag is ignored if the item isn't a LocksmithKit. FindLocksmithKit should return the one that gives the biggest bonus, but it may have trouble with stacked lockpicks. Hovering over the "Locksmith Kit" icon in UDB should tell you how much of a bonus (or penalty) that item gives you.
- CrowbarModifier increases your chances to force open by using a crowbar by the number indicated. Default vanilla crowbar has a bonus of 20, so an item with a bonus of 10 will be worse than a crowbar (but possibly smaller). FindUsableCrowbar should return the item with the biggest bonus. Tag is ignored if the item isn't a Crowbar. Hovering over the "Crowbar" Icon in UDB should tell you by how much your chances are improved, though if the item is also a weapon, the icon isn't visible.
- RepairModifier modifies a toolkit's effectiveness by that percentage. If you try to repair with a shoddy toolkit that has a RepairModifier of -20, you'll be 80% as effective, while repairing with an excellent toolkit that has a RepairModifier of 20 means you are 120% as effective. When checking if you have a toolkit at hand, it should select the one with the biggest bonus. Tag is ignored if item isn't also a Toolkit. Hovering over the "Toolkit" icon in UDB should tell you how effective the repair kit is.
- DisarmModifier increases your chances to disarm a trap by the indicated amount, modified by the Diffusal Kit's status. The FindDisarmKit should return the item with the biggest bonus, though it uses the top item in a stack. Currently using the "Wirecutters" icon in UDB, hovering over it should tell you by how much your trap disarm chance is improved.

- individual LBE gear can be created via MOLLE items. For each LBE item, there's a definition which pockets may be changed and how much space the new pockets may take up in total.
- If there's a free pocket slot and enough space -> attach item and enable pocket.
- for further description, see Doc/Design Document- MOLLE.txt

- 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.

2. ReInitMergedItem now returns a list of attachments that were unable to be reattached or dropped onto the ground (ie: non-default inseparable ones). These were previously just being tossed into oblivion.
3. Item transformations now try to attach any inseparable attachments that couldn't be attached to the first result to the other results.
4. Item merges will now try to attach any attachments on the second item in the merge to the first result. This was already happening for the first item in the merge.

- allows creating of complex tripwire networks, that behave differently depending on where they are activated. Different networks can overlap, allowing a wide range of trap network designs
- added network-specific view methods (ALT + Shift + C)
- added new dialogues when planting tripwire
New feature: remote defusing of mines (by Flugente)
- the new items Remote Defuse and Remote Combo allow to remotely defuse a bomb that has been planted. Simply select a frequency for defusing upon planting the mine. This frequency is of course treated differently than a detonation frequency.
New feature: directional frag explosions (by Flugente)
- the tag <Directional>1</Directional> in Items.xml allows an explosive to be directional. Frags caused by its explosion will fly in the direction determined by the merc planting them.
- the tags <ubHorizontalDegree> and <ubVerticalDegree> in Explosives.xml determine the arc in which the frags will fly.
New feature: makeshift mines (by Flugente)
- you can now create mines out of grenades: simply merge tripwire with them. You can then use them like regular mines. They can also be activated by your tripwire networks.
- With a simple item transformation in the UDB, you can transform a makeshift mine back to a grenade and a piece of tripwire.
Minor changes (by Flugente)
- metal detector now only works if used in hands
- wire cutters give a bonus if in hands while defusing tripwire or tripwire-activatable mines/bombs
- added new message boxes with 8 and 16 buttons
- increased the maximum number of bullets that can be on screen from 200 to 1000 (necessary for mass claymore explosions)
- the tags <Detonator> and <RemoteDetonator> are not used anymore, as those properties can be set via flags in <AttachmentClass>. For now, they still remain in the xmls though.
WARNING! This will break savegame compatibility!

o You get the boni for vison, tunnel vison, sight range, scope magnification etc. only for the scope you use.
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
