- Streamlined vehicle controls - no more selecting driver and vehicle separately, switching displayed APs and other esoteric activities. To move vehicle just select its driver and you're good to go. If you click on vehicle in tactical, also its driver will be selected automatically. Besides driving car, driver can perform other actions normally.
- Vehicle's APs, health and fuel are displayed on the steering wheel - thanks to Buggler for idea. Vehicle APs are treated as a resource (so if car changes driver mid-turn, it won't go any further than it would).
- Added option Tactical Interface Settings > ADD_PASSENGER_TO_ANY_SQUAD. If you order passenger to exit vehicle by clicking on the seat belt, he'll be added to new squad, so if you ordered six passengers to exit one by one, you'd end up with six new squads. With ADD_PASSENGER_TO_ANY_SQUAD = TRUE, passenger will be added to any existing squad with empty slot if possible.
- Added option Tactical Interface Settings > PASSENGER_LEAVING_SWITCH_TO_NEW_SQUAD. If you order passenger to exit vehicle by clicking on the seat belt, by default you get switched to his new squad. With PASSENGER_LEAVING_SWITCH_TO_NEW_SQUAD = FALSE you'll switch only if exiting passenger is the selected one.
- Cosmetic fix: changed display above vehicle from "*Merc's name* (VEHICLE)" to "*Merc's name* (*Vehicle's name*)" and colour from yellow to white (since mercs in vehicle are controllable and yellow is reserved for mercs on assignments).
- Fixed passengers rotation. Again.
- Fixed vehicles getting "tired" - lowered APs due to fuel below max. They can move the same as long as they have any fuel.
- Fixed unrelated bug: clicking on any empty slot in team panel would select merc with id 0.
- Fixed unrelated bug: switching to squad with less mercs would cause team panel to still show skill tooltips for mercs from previous squad on empty slots.

- 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.

Custom sounds for non-guns (by anv)
- knives, throwing knives, blunt weapons can use attack sounds specified with <sSound> tag - previously their sound was chosen depending on animation used and hardcoded - it should open space for exotic weapons like chainsaws, lawn mowers, jackhammers, etc. If <sSound> is left unspecified, default hardcoded sound will be used normally.
- knives, throwing knives, blunt weapons, launchers on attack can cause noise specified with <ubAttackVolume>, previously it was ignored for anything but guns,
- small fix for knife/wire cutters combo where using it on empty grid would cause deadlock during battle.

Updates/Improvements (by Sevenfm)
1. Quick inventory items:
Press [ALT] + [1..0] for quick access to predefined items in tactical (ja2_options.ini: QUICK_ITEM_0 to QUICK_ITEM_9)
Press [ALT] + [`] (tilde key left to [1]) to put item back to inventory and switch hands.
The item will be put in the same slot it was taken from (unless it was stacked or game was reloaded).
2. Also a few quick hotkeys:
[ALT] + [q] - switch to sling (same as [SHIFT] + [k])
[CTRL] + [q] - switch hands
[SHIFT] + [q] - drop item from main hand to the ground
Additional info:
-some hotkeys do not work in cheat mode
-only NIV
-only one-handed items supported
-stacked items currently not supported
-remembered item slot is lost when you reload game
3. A few small fixes for dynamic tooltips and other things

Radio operator improvements:
- if RADIO_OPERATOR_JAMMING_BLOCKSRADIOBOMBS is TRUE, radio operator jamming will prevent remote activation or defusing of bombs. Quest-related remotes are still active.
- if RADIO_OPERATOR_ENEMY_JAMMINGSETSOFFRADIOBOMBS is TRUE, there is a small chance that jamming enemy radio operators will set of remote bombs/defuses
- removing a radio set from inventory ends scanning/jamming

- increased background-based chance to steal to 50%, money/gold/solver will be preferred targets
- lowered exp stat gain for handling tripwire
- new background ability: disarm_trap alters effectivity at defusing bombs
- Fix: incorrectly deleted soldiers could still be counted as jamming/scanning

- fix: data read from Data/AdditionalProperties,
- new tag: <bTrapBonus> + updated data for tiles, trap level influenced by terrain,
- new feature/option: COVER_SYSTEM_STATIC_SHADOWS_DECREASE_BRIGHTNESS.

Enabled auto-taking for concertina/sandbags (by Sevenfm)
- items are taken from current merc's inventory
- works only in realtime
- when filling sandbags, filled sandbag is dropped, and new empty is taken from inventory
- you need to press [shift] while clicking with hammer for this feature to be activated
Autofire bullets (by Sevenfm)
Set default number of autofire bullets:
0 = Max bullets allowed with max aiming
1..10 = Set default number of bullets
1. For MPs and SMGs
SET_DEFAULT_AUTOFIRE_BULLETS_SMG = 1
2. For ARs, Rifles and Shotguns
SET_DEFAULT_AUTOFIRE_BULLETS_AR = 1
3. For MGs
SET_DEFAULT_AUTOFIRE_BULLETS_MG = 1

- Food system change: if a soldier autofeeds, he will refill his canteens if the sector has drinkable water
- do not display corruption backgriund in 1.13
- removed hardcoded direction number

1. Now you don't need to hold shift all the time while planting bomb, just shift+click is enough.
2. If successfully taken new bomb from inventory (or using Tripwire Roll), cursor is not changed back to MOVE after planting bomb.
This means one less right-click for each bomb when making big minefields/tripwire networks.

- Minor code improvements and cleanup
- Fix from r6775 is no longer necessary.
- Code improvement: Instead of calling inv.size() repeatedly, just call it once and remember that value

Fixes (by Buggler)
- draw NCTH cursor indicator after health bar indicator due to potential overlap (thanks to Sevenfm)
- removed IMPROVED_BOMB_PLANTING option, enabled by default
- removed AIMED_BURST_ALTERNATE_KEY option, enabled by default. Alternate Aiming Hotkey reassigned to ',' (comma) for increasing aim
- streamlined burst & auto mode right click aim mechanism

1) Improved cover indicator:
SHOW_COVER_INDICATOR
0 - nothing
1 - show as small square to the right of health bar
2 - show using color of merc's name
3 - same as 1, show only in stealth or when disguised
4 - same as 2, show only in stealth or when disguised
2) Enemy rank (exp. level) icons:
SHOW_ENEMY_RANK_ICON
0 - do not show
1 - show icon
2 - show icon from .sti (not yet implemented)
3) Enemy health bar:
SHOW_ENEMY_HEALTH
0 - do not show
1 - show health as text (default)
2 - show health bar
3 - show health + ap
4 - show health + ap + shock
5 - show health + ap + shock + morale
6 - show health + ap + shock + morale + bp

- AP/BP costs:
o Disarm: AP_DISARM_MINE, BP_DISARM_MINE
o Inspect: AP_DISARM_MINE/2, BP_DISARM_MINE/2
o Remove Blue Flag: AP_DISARM_MINE/2, BP_DISARM_MINE/2
o Blow Up: AP_DISARM_MINE/4, BP_DISARM_MINE/4
- Note: AP_DISARM_MINE value is modified if merc has ambidextrous trait.

- 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.

- With new option IMPROVED_BOMB_PLANTING = TRUE, if you hold SHIFT key while planting new mine, then another mine with same item id will be taken automatically from your merc's inventory. If no such item found, any mine will be taken. If you plant tripwire-triggered mine, then only tripwire-triggered items will be taken. This new feature work only in realtime.
If you are making tripwire network, then this feature can be used to plant another tripwire item with network and hierarchy settings taken from previously planted tripwire. You just plant tripwire as usual, selecting it's settings from dialogue, then if you plant another one while holding SHIFT key, those settings will be used for new tripwire, instead of showing you dialogue
- I hope this small improvement will save you some time for building large and complicated defensive minefields.

1) Fixed small bug when MAPELEMENT_PLAYER_MINE_PRESENT was set after planting explosives with remote detonator.
2) Arming bomb with only remote defuse attached is not allowed.
3) Showing item locator before "add blueflag" messagebox is disabled for our mines as it was annoying and you anyway know that it is here.
4) Total weight for throwing range is calculated for all items (previously it was calculated only for grenades).
5) Grenade-throwing formula and demolitions bonus applied only for hand-thrown grenades (check for TOSSCURS). Previously it was applied for launched grenades too.
6) Changed grenade throwing range formula from

- More map editor fixes and map inventory pool performance improvement for big maps.
Details:
- Fix not showing expected messagebox on exit (ALT+x) which also throw exception and goes to improper mapeditor exit.
- Fix second annoying sticky message which shouldn't popup during map loading and performing RemoveProhibitedAttachments.
- Fix CTD when delete all enemies or civilians or all of them in map.
- Fix some std exception when reporting for missing optional xml file.
- Fix memory and map corruption in old mapeditors if loaded old map has item with invalid attachment and we try to attach something else.
- As years ago pInventoryPoolList had migrated from WORLDITEM* array to std::vector<WORLDITEM> it was time to do that with gWorldItems too, all necessary functions which need to be adopted to gWorldItems std::vector type are also changed.
- Resize code for gWorldItems is changed hoping will lead into less corruption problems as now could occur in mapeditor and game when code automatically doing attachment changes.
- Change code for handling map inventory which now should be fast enough to support AIMNAS project which will probably deal with thousands of items per map.

- no more jump with backpack (keys 'j' and 'J'). This is more consistent. Sometimes the soldier got stuck in the fence as some functions did not allow jumping and others did.
- Pickup items from ground will now cost AP.
- Backpack, Scubba fins and swimming background AP modificattion is now shown in path and is considered when calculating new path. No pathing through fences when wearing backpack. More likely to create path through water when wearing scubba fins.

- Fixing bad APs deduction when using blade or blunt weapons and punching in general from different stances when need turn to your target.
Details:
- Fix wrong APs deduction and animation change when go to attack with knife or punch from prone.
- Fix no APs cost for martial artist when perform turning.
- When target was prone there was several problems in defining turnover and stance cost as range to them could vary depending of obstacles between, and as punch or stub in general use same logic put all stubbing and punching under one function MinAPsToPunch which should solve current problems with APs calculations.
- Still there are no turning cost when going to stub or punch from moving, but this problem is not related with MinAPsToAttack but with UIPlotPath which don't add turning cost, hope someone in the future will add this feature which never exist.

- Fixing bad APs deduction when using hand grenades, mortars, rocket launchers, grenade launchers and attached grenade launchers from different stances and need turn to your target.
Details:
- Add APs cost for stance change and turnover for mortar and rocket launchers.
- Rocket launchers cannot be fire from prone any more as there are no animation for that stance.
- Attached grenade launchers now take raise gun cost for launcher instead for gun.
- No more problems with APs for grenades from different stances and turnover, add proper costs for crouch too as someone add animation for that.
- Fix wrong APs deduction for grenade launcher from prone and turnover in general.
- Fix incorrect values for APs cost under throwing/launching cursor.
