- 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.
WARNING: This will break savegame compatibility

- fixed a bug that caused wrong cursors to be dispalyed in NCTH
- fixed an oversight that caused the scope mode toggle not to be working
- 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 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.
