- I put both (startup and gearkit selection in BR's) the initializations for gearkit prices into if's that will check if the absolute price is higher than -1 and lower or equal to 32000 (INT16)
- I also added the reading of the tag in xml_mercstartinggear.cpp, to be able to support zero priced gearkits in absolute prices I set the absolute price of a gearkit to -1 on opening tag of a gearkit, if there's an mAbsolutePrice tag set in the gearkit it will override the value, if not nothing happens and all will behave normal
- so nothing will change in 1.13 as it is, it will just give modders the ability to set absolute prices with a new tag
TODO: Maybe we should also add this optional <mAbsolutePrice> tag to the XML Editor in the future.

o MP: Fixed crash when hiring a merc with graphical face gear and then closing the laptop (the problem was, that an initializing function was not called in a MP game)
o Fixed init problem when starting a new single player game after playing a MP game
o Reducted message lines in a chinese game in strategic view
o Shortened german text

o 3 new INI properties: DISABLE_LAPTOP_TRANSITION, FAST_WWW_SITES_LOADING, DISABLE_STRATEGIC_TRANSITION
o In a multiplayer games, for all 3 ini-properties fast loading is enabled!

o Disabled a few ingame options, that does not work correctly with multiplayer. The user cannot enable those options.
-> TOPTION_ALLOW_REAL_TIME_SNEAK
-> TOPTION_ALLOW_CROWS
-> TOPTION_ALLOW_SOLDIER_TOOLTIPS
-> TOPTION_USE_AUTO_SAVE
-> TOPTION_TOGGLE_TURN_MODE
-> TOPTION_USE_NCTH
o When the server enters the strategy map, the airspace view is shown together with an info message how to switch sectors

o The Patch fix was basically put there as a coder did not catch a scenario where Player can move into enemy SAM (& possibly other impt sectors) 'uncontested' aka player entered sector w no enemies but flagged as enemy controlled.

Now a more controversial change and perhaps unrelated now since its not in NCTH code. In line with my comment above I tried to make soldiers more likely to make a partial move toward the target if the chance to hit is really, really low and out of effective gun range but still reserving enough AP to make a partial shot. I also allowed this on Cunning soldiers instead of just aggressives figuring that target is in sight they are more likely to fight.
This with the other change has at least made them more aggressive and less likely to run in circles when armed with pistols and has actually made them quite a threat again. Not crazy about the implementation since I'd like a more accurate range check and AP calculation since AP to fire will change after movement. I figure the increased CTH by getting closer will counteract the cost to move.

o AICalcChanceToHitGun the change to hit is reduced to zero if the AI exceeds the gun range by 10% and is only 50% when in that range.
o I've changed that code to use externalize the parameters to the CTHConstants.ini file.
o The result is no change in how actual code runs but now those hard coded parameters should be modifiable.

o How you can get the 2nd robot
--> Do NOT dismiss the dead robot from the merc list, otherwise you will not get a 2nd robot
--> Give Madlab another video camera and another rifle
--> Wait one day and Madlab gives you another remote control
--> Go back to the sector where first robot was destroyed and now the robot is back. It will be placed on map edge, fully functional :)
