Bugfixes:
- Fix: Watched Locations system (never worked in 1.13)
- Fix: LineOfSight test with NO_DISTANCE_LIMIT (stopped on trees previously)
AI/tactical improvements:
- EstimateThrowDamage additionally calculates damage from fragments (important for AI to use frag grenades with low main damage and many fragments)
- EstimateThrowDamage correctly adds IndoorModifier
- Additional checks for RED suppression (check that the soldier will not shoot his friends, check that he has extra clip to reload weapon, check that target is not cowering, don't suppress when flanking)
- ClosestReachableDisturbance will use general noise only if cannot find any enemy
- Allow RED seeking in prone stance if we haven't seen enemy for several turns
Flanking improvements:
- allow YELLOW flanking for CLOSEPATROL at night
- better YELLOW/RED flanking start/stop conditions
- better RED AI behavior when finished flanking (try to reach flanking spot)
- allow RED flanking for CLOSEPATROL soldiers when at night, overcrowded or no other flanking soldiers yet
Optional AI improvements:

Improved AI RED/YELLOW flanking:
- better direction calculation (use direction arrays)
- increased search range 4->8
- removed incorrectly calculated AP limit (use CalcActionPoints instead)
- additional direction for flank spot searching
- prefer desired direction
- penalize tiles with no cover from noise location
- penalize tiles too far from noise location
- don't go into deep water for flanking
- skip water tiles (can flank over water tiles only if can cross them in one turn)
- min/max flanking range depends on time of day and base sight range
- skip buildings when searching for flank spot if not in building already, because soldiers often run into buildings and stop flanking
- use RUNNING movement mode for flanking instead of default SWATTING
- only CUNNINGSOLO and CUNNINGAID soldiers flank
- don't start flanking when no friends between soldier and noise gridno (in 3 directions)
- stop flanking when no friends between soldier and noise gridno (in 3 directions)
- stop flanking and reset flank counter in BLACK state
- avoid map edges when flanking
- disable flanking for soldiers with limited roaming range (STATIONARY/ONGUARD/CLOSEPATROL/SNIPER)
In general, AI flanking is much more effective now (it never fully worked previously, especially in turnbased).

If the player killed all boxers during these fights the check would fail. A new externalized parameter "KINGPIN_RING_TILE" for Kingpins location at the ring was implemented. This is used to check if Kingpin is watching these first three fights. If so it will override the BoxersAvailable check.
fix: AI could be gathering around an empty player vehicle. Disturbance check should from now on ignore that.

- Flagmasks are unsigned, and should be called and treated as such
- Fix: experience gain from interrogation was too high
- Fix: chance of a prisoner becoming militia was calculated wrong
- default weight maximum for MOVE ITEM assignment increased from 30 to 40 kg
- Fix: snitches report the same event multiple times
- Fix: snitches treat vehicles as persons
- Fix: selection of launchables is inefficient, an does not take into account wether items are depending on day/night cycle
- new key combination: in strategic, pressing [CTRL] + [E] wile both a merc's inventory and the sector inventory are open will fill the merc's inventory with sector items
- trivial code cleanup
- if prisoners are taken in a sector that houses a prison, that prison can also be selected to house them
- Fix: distributing newly taken prisoners in a prison sector no longer redistributes all prisoners, only the new ones
- GetClosestFlaggedSoldierID can also be called without evaluation of sight
- Fix: Covert Ops: throwing/lobbing items or shooting rockets is deemed suspicious behaviour
- Fix: boxing was broken by loading a savegame
- Fix: campaign history rarely recorded kills in autoresolve
- There is no reason why the IDs that boxers are reset to before they are reinitialised would ever need to be altered by a modder. Required script change in stable GameDir r2024.

- ja2_options.ini: MAX_BACKPACK_WEIGHT_TO_CLIMB, USE_GLOBAL_BACKPACK_SETTINGS
- First setting is sBackpackWeightToClimb which is the maximum weight a backpack can weigh and still allow you to climb with. The sBackpackWeightModifier in items.xml can modify that number by either making it harder (positive number modifier) or easier (negative number modifier). If the sBackpackWeightToClimb is -1 (default) then the option is unused.
Second setting is fUseGlobalBackpackSettings which if true (default) uses the same rules for all backpacks, while if false it checks for the fAllowClimbing tag in items.xml, and if that is true you can climb with said backpack.
Both options can be used at the same time, so you may climb with (for example) a malice backpack that weighs less than 5kg (or 50 hg) but not climb with a radio set.

- new option: ENEMY_OFFICERS_SURRENDERSTRENGTHBONUS adds a team surrender strength bonus for officers
- tanks cannot become medics, and can't be treated by them either
- Menubutton for Role symbol toggle is red if off and green if on
- wounded soldiers seek medics, max range is ENEMY_MEDICS_SEARCHRADIUS / 2
- direct sight line between medic and target is no longer required
- if hostile civilians allied to the army are in sector, their surrender strength is added to the enemy team

- Fix several problems which lead into bad or no AI decisions, add optional decision of short autofire.
Details:
- Avoid use of last two locations per turn

- Add option for decide to use short autofire instead of one long to enchance chance to hit.
- After taking cover change facing toward closest enemy to avoid going in status red and rather take proper black decisions.
- Fix bad public noise processing after AI investigate closest disturbance and find nothing, also erase all same noise points in team members if one of them already investigated.

- 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.

o See: builddefines.h: #define ENABLE_ZOMBIES (then you can turn on/off Zombies in the ingame option screen)
o Poison system is still in the code and not combined with the option "Zombie MOD"
o Gamers reported on the Bears Pit, that an executable compiled WITH the Zombies mod enabled makes the game unplayable slow in tactical screen after a few minutes in turn based/realtime

2. USE_XML_TILESETS moved from JA2.ini to JA2Options.ini
3. New Feature - Ctrl+Click on an item with an item in hand to auto-attach/merge them. Attach works with stacks. Merge only works on single items, for now at least.
4. New Feature - To accompany Quiet Training, there are now Quiet Repairing and Quiet Doctoring options.
5. Bugfix - inseparable attachments of attachments were getting lost again when using ctrl+f/the map screen button to remove attachments
6. Bugfix - INT8 overflow error causing vehicle repair to actually lower its status
7. GasMask tag in items.xml can now be applied to helmets as well as face items.
8. Bugfix - AI code was referencing hard coded GASMASK item number instead of looking for the tag
9. Bugfix - "break;" was removed in Explosion Control.cpp, thereby causing mustard gas to deal out fire damage. (Not sure if this was deliberate? But the new implementation differs from the JA2 standard, so it should be added to JA2Options.ini at least)

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.
