- Rework/Update: Ammo boxes and Ammo crates
o Ammo crate items added for remaining calibers. Tweaked prices to correspond to magazines, tweaked capacities and weights to be reasonable (~800 or less).
o Shift-R reload now looks at both boxes and crates in sector items and merc's inventory to reload, and tops off magazines in inventory as well. Only possible outside of combat.
o Ctrl-Shift-A still creates crates as per usual, with some fixes to ensure all ammo is caught on the first press.
o Shift-A now creates ammo boxes in the same loop. They mostly behave like crates, but fit in mercs inventories.
o Ammo boxes are available to purchase at BR and tony, sam, etc. Individual magazines/drums/etc are no longer available.
o Removed ammo crate xml tag. Added ubMagType tag to Magazines array. This allows us to differentiate between magazines, bullets, boxes and crates.
o Changed ammo filtering in BR's to display boxes appropriately. Added back the "Mag:" display (changed text to "Size:")
o Added ja2set.dat.xml file (WF map version in WF maps folder) to be used instead of ja2set.dat file (ja2.ini setting added) For now, if you want to play vanilla instead, just change the setting in the ini (see comments in file).
o Added P4-P9Items image files (up to 5k images each) and tileslots. 1.13 core items will continue to use Guns and P1-P3Items for the foreseeable future. P4-P9 can be used by customizers/modders to avoid conflicts with Guns/P1-P3 items. TODO: Need to discuss a strategy for this in the forums.
o Added in Ambient/0.bad and 32.bad to avoid an exception in the code.
o Updated the XML Editor
o Standardized the text on all the ammo items.
- New Multiplayer Feature: Sharing same FOV (field of view) in a coop/team-dm (for friendly teams) game
o You will also see enemies, that your teammate sees

- bugfix: Multiple IMPs with same voice causes wrong data and CTDs. Now it is impossible to have multiple IMPs with the same voice. No more invalid IMP data with multiple imps (hopefully) ;)
- You can have a maximum number of 6 imps (3 women and 3 men). All have different voices
- If an IMP is cloned (90210, nickname) an unused voice is set. So we have correct data
- Prevent the user from selecting used voices in the IMP Voice selection screen

- Restored the "accurate" and "inaccurate" strings that Rowa21 overwrote ;)
- Added code to use the Accuracy tag in Weapons.xml
- IMP.dat file changed to save a different file for each IMP
- Different existing IMPs can be loaded by typing their names in the IMP webpage
- Reverted changes to font.cpp due to Ivan's text not being displayed properly
- Added an AutoPenalty stat to Weapons.xml to complement BurstPenalty
- Added a NoSemiAuto stat to Weapons.xml to enable weapons that are Full-Auto only, code also added for AI to not use NoSemiAuto weapons in semi-auto mode
- Added an APBonus stat to Items.xml to enable items to give you an APBonus/Penalty (ie: heavy armour)
- Added code to enable the AimBonus and ToHitBonus stats to be read in from worn gear
- Added Lesh's burst sound externalization code, added SilencedBurstSound tag to weapons.xml
- Changed required camouflage amount to show merc as camo'd to 50%, due to some new items affecting the camouflage %
- Added two new Merge options: Use_Item (6) and Use_Item_Hard (7), which enable the use of a single item on another single item. The hard one performs a mechanics check. Use_Item_Hard can be used for caliber conversion kits, etc. (But I need to add code to dump the old ammo still).
- Use_Item can be used for things like opening your bullets up w/a knife to empty out some of the powder, for cold-loaded ammo. To Do: enable deterioration of the using item, figure out a way to enable multiple resultant items.
- Commented out all the Air Strike code.
- Changed the air strike options to be: "tons of guns" and "10 tons of guns"
- Used the BigGunList stat in Items.xml to determine whether items can show up depending on the selection from #9
- Completely redid all the existing weapons' stats (and a couple images).
- Changed some weapons' calibers, such as the SVD dragunov to 7.62x54r and the Type-85 to 7.62x25mm. Eliminated some types of ammo that do not exist (at least according to my source - so correct me if this is wrong and I'll add them back in): HP ammo in 7.62x39mm, 5.45mm, and 5.7mm.
- Moved most of the old 1.13 specific weapons around in Items.xml to new spots. The items.xml file now goes to over 1000 (w/some "nothing" entries for organization)
- Kept all the UB weapons, and some new weapons/items inside the old 350 item limit, so they can be assigned using ProEdit. To Do: Alter the binary files so pro-edit can see the right item names.
- Throwing knife code changed, so that we can have more than one type of throwing knife. For now, this means that tossing your knife into the dirt won't un-bloody it. To Do: fix this later.
- New weapon sounds (swiped from various mods) TODO: Incorporate Corpse's new weapon sounds
- Reinstated 5% to-hit bonus for using a pistol w/two hands (nothing in offhand) and 5% to-hit penalty for using an SMG w/one hand (this one might've already been in, I forget) that the devs commented out
- On top of those items added to 1.13 already, I've added/am in the process of adding:
200+ new guns,
30+ new grenades,
9+ new grenade launchers,
4 new rocket launchers,
8 new knives,
a new throwing knife,
2 new armour attachments,
50+ new armours,
10+ new misc. items,
6+ new weapon attachments,
15+ new ammo calibers & 12+ new types of ammo (including cold-loaded variants)
- resulting in 240+ new ammo items, and I'm probably missing stuff
- Not all the images are in yet - will add as I get them done.
