Every midnight snitches will give you a report about their collegues' opinions. Information includes:
- merc whining about high death rate,
- merc whining about player reputation,
- merc whining about his low morale,
- merc whining about some other merc (unliked, not only hated),
- merc planning to quit (leave without renewing contract, only AIM mercs) next day,
- merc whining about player inactivity,
- merc whining about player owing them money (you can only owe money to MERC mercs).

1) PLAYER_HIT_COUNT = 0
This works as ENEMY_HIT_COUNT option, but for player mercs.
Possible values: 0 - 4
2) SOLDIER_TOOLTIP_DISPLAY_SUPPRESSION_INFO = TRUE
Show additional info in tactical tooltip:
- APs lost due to suppression
- Suppression Tolerance
- Effective Shock Level ( Shock level modified by traits and backgrounds. This value is compared with current suppression tolerance to determine "cowering" effect )
- AI morale level
3) SHOW_ENEMY_WEAPON = TRUE
Show enemy weapon name above soldier - after health, name and rank.
You can see exact weapon name only on short distances, range calculation is similar to dynamic tooltips and based on soldiers actual viewing range and experience.

- New mine disarm dialogue (only for realtime): Disarm, Inspect, Remove Blue Flag, Blow up.
- You can now attach tripwire-activated explosives to tripwire.
- attached explosives volatility is now used in chain explosion calculation: added new function CalcTotalVolatility.
- new function CheckForBuriedBombsAndRemoveFlags removes MAPELEMENT_XXX_MINE_PRESENT flags if there is no buried bomb at checked tile. This should fix problems with flag not removed correctly after chain explosions and such.
- trip klaxon no longer calls enemies if it's activated as attached explosive (instead it makes some noise).
- added check to MineSpottedDialogueCallBack. It should fix problem with game crash with tiles that have MAPELEMENT_PLAYER_MINE_PRESENT flag set but no buried mine
- disarmed item will keep it's attachments if ALLOW_ATTACHED_EXPLOSIVES is TRUE.
- IMPROVED_BOMB_PLANTING feature can be used to auto-take tripwire items from inventory.

- ridiculous amount of tags: attack, hit, miss, kill, head pop, blinded, type of attack, is target a zombie...
- ripostes to merc quotes,
- taunts can now make noise,
- bumped up amount of taunts to respectable 733, mostly thanks to your contributions guys,
- accidently squashed bug with incorrect noise notifications ("hears scream" instead of "hears explosion" etc.)
Ripostes
At the moment enemies can react to quotes "enemy detected", "1st enemy detected", "multiple enemies detected", "bullet flew by", "under heavy fire", as these are most likely to be used in combat. In the first three cases, riposting enemy will be chosen randomly from all enemy witnesses, latter two - last enemy to attack this merc will taunt.
Enemy's riposte will come as soon as merc quote is finished.
Noisy taunts
Taunts can be handled like other noises in game - shots, explosions, etc., meaning:
- they will be displayed only if someone from our team is close enough to hear them,
- they can be heard even if you don't see enemy (with twist of his name changed to "unknown voice". Yay.)
- volume of taunts is configurable in .ini.

More secondary attributes are now shown on general page of UDB. The following item tags were added:
<Damageable>0
<Metal>1
<Sinks>1
<TwoHanded>1
<BlockIronSight>1
The new icons were added to ItemInfoSecondaryIcons.sti.
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@6425 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
Fix and Enhancement for Repair Ease display in UDB
- Repair Ease is now displayed for all items and not only for weapons because other items use the <bRepairEase> tag too
- fixed tooltip display for explosives, half the values didn't show tooltips
There are new icons for repair ease display (ID 34 and 35 in ItemInfoWeaponIcons.sti). The old icon was changed to green color (ID 10).
The colors are used to show if the item is repairable and by whom:
- green for items that can be repaired by anyone
- yellow for items that need a technician or NPC to repair them beyond repair threshold
- red for items that have <Repairable> tag set to 0 in items.xml

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

- (bug) first Tooltip for weapons (secondary and tertiary values like recoil) was missing, last one showed (null,null).
- (cleanup) code cosmetic/potential bug: cnt now (hopefully) match the count of actual rendered values/MouseRegions and Icons.
- (feature adjustment) freshness Bar for food now shows the decay. Color values for bar range from green (over yellow) to red. hight of bar shows the percentage.
- (feature adjustment) Food properties are now shown in DB. A Data patch is needed to show the new Icons, those however are placeholders for better ones, the tooltips also need a rework by a native english and translation to the different languages.
- (feature adjustment) When FoodSystem is enabled the weight of a foodtype item is adjusted to account for partially eaten item.
- (bug) Performance fix 1: multiple TransformIcons where rendered in DB above each other.
- (bug) Performance fix 2: condition to leave loop when on end of Transform list was not met due to missing cast (65535!=-1).
- (bug) 'endless dying mercs in roof edges' fix in rev.6346 condition was never met.
- (bug) Popups were missplaced when clicking on a trainer-assignment multiple times to close the submenu.
- (bug) Popups were missplaced when clicking on a practice-assignment multiple times to close the submenu.
- (bug) Popups were missplaced when clicking on a student-assignment multiple times to close the submenu.
- (bug) Popups were missplaced when clicking on a facility-assignment multiple times to close the submenu. note: the bug might only be reproducable when selecting different screensize then the 3 native ones.
- (bug) MouseMasks for disabling timeCompress buttons did not match size of buttons, Clock Overlay was missing
- (cleanup) Replaced Hardcoded fallback Gridnumbers with CenterGrid if no exitGrid was specified in map editor. Same behavier than before, but since we have bigmaps and possibly other mapsizes it should not be constant.
- (bug) Sight range calulation uses distance visible with and without scope to get a scopeRangeMod=sDistVis/sDistVisNoScope. Blind soldiers will have 0 sDistVisNoScope, which means the scopeRangeMod is a div/0 (not defined result). After fix we get a defined result for scopeRangeMod of 1.0f in case there is a 0 distance. Also we get a defined result for sightrange since sightrange=sightrange/scopeRangeMod = 0/1.0f.
- (bug) Experimental NCTH calulation did return 0 CTH with 0 aimclicks but it should return at least the base CTH.
- (cleanup) added comment to get an idea of the 'magic' aiming Points formula
- (feature adjustment) Flat backpack malus replaced with malus which scales linear with weight of backpack up to maximum specified in ini file. Each 5 kg 1 additional malus is applied for movement. When carrying pack in hands or inside another pocket the full malus is applied. Malus for changing stances is still 1 additional Point when carrying backpack (does not matter in which slot).
