Map Editor Fixes/Improvements (by Buggler)
- Better UI feedback after last item deleted from item stack in editor item mode

- Fix BigMaps cliff-prone problem.
Details:
- Bug which prevent merc to go prone and crawl in big maps with cliffs was reported by Buggler who already find source of problem which lies in DB_STRUCTURE_TILE struct variable sPosRelToBase. This variable contains relative position to base tile which and cannot simply be change to INT32 as data from JSD files are loaded into it. However reason for problem is because sPosRelToBase is not updated for quite bunch of structures when map size is changed so add macro which in real time perform conversion and update sPosRelToBase value.

- Fix random item problems, add automatic maps conversion, fix some exceptions.
Details:
- Random items are now converted to proper real item if added through mapeditor as world or merc item. However random item will be permanently deleted after map is loaded if randomitemcoolnessmodificator not met expected game progress conditions rather then remain as random item.

- You can also open them with VS 2012
- I just changed the toolset for all projects to V100 (VS 2010) instead of V120 (VS 2013), because I don't have VS 2013 installed. If anyone can't compile with VS 2013, we simply switch back to V120 toolset

- 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.
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@6554 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- Couple map editor fixes.
Details:
- Map loading not properly set Vanilla global variable switch.
- Loading AIMNAS maps of version 28 cause CTD due to incorrect StackedObjectData loading sizeof.
- Only in editor mode and if NAS setting is on inseparable and default attachments will be always add, but default attachments will not, so older maps should be converted from mapeditor to new version.
- Fix CTD if try to place items from tab selection which contains no items.
- There was missing part from ch4 for mouse wheel support in mapeditor.
- There was conflict between keyboard and mouse events creating problems when try to select taskbar options by mouse.
- Fix annoying message of using improper attachment during item place if item consist of default or inseparable attachments.
- Remove hints to display if loading map from editor.
- Fix CTD if have previously selected merc and loading another (smaller) map.
- Saving map as Vanilla will check if attachment is valid for 1.12, that means you will lost some stuff from NIV if save in Vanilla mode, so you should always save map in newest format if want play map in 1.13.
- Add correct weight recalculation when saving in Vanilla format using old OBJECTTYPE.
- Remove entry points check during map save as Scheinworld reported problem with basement levels and similar maps which doesn't need entry points.
- Fix displaying wrong map version in summary window because MapInfo is incorrectly saved in all previous mapeditors.

o This file is OPTIONAL and if not available, the game uses the default music tracks
o With the user of the Music.lua script file, you can play different musics and types for each sector (*.WAV or *.OGG)
o An example of the usage has been added to "Docs\Externalized Music Example.zip"
o See comments from the Music.lua scripts below
--[[
AddMusic(SectorX,SectorY,SectorZ,MusicType,MusicID)
MusicType :
1 - standard music, sector no enemy (NOTHING_xxx.wav or NOTHING_xxx.ogg)
2 - enemy in sector (TENSOR_xxx.wav or TENSOR_xxx.ogg)
3 - start battle (BATTLE_xxx.wav or BATTLE_xxx.ogg)
4 - victory (TRIUMPH_xxx.wav or TRIUMPH_xxx.ogg)
5 - death merc (DEATH_xxx.wav or DEATH_xxx.ogg)
xxx - number file
MusicID - id of music
Put to "Music" folder ogg or wav file. We number the names of files NOTHING_0.wav... NOTHING_10.wav ... etc
Example :
AddMusic(1,10,0,1,0) -- add to sector A10, music type "1" and file NOTHING_0.wav or NOTHING_0.ogg.
AddMusic(1,10,1,1,0) -- add to sector A10_B1, music type "1" and file NOTHING_0.wav or NOTHING_0.ogg.
AddMusic(1,9,0,2,10) -- add to sector A9, music type "2" and file TENSOR_10.wav or TENSOR_10.ogg.
for x = 1,16 do
for y = 1,16 do
AddMusic(x,y,0,1,10) -- add to all sector, music type "1" and file NOTHING_10.wav or NOTHING_10.ogg.

- The action item system has been repaired for this. It has never worked correctly prior to this, but the errors never occured.
- New items from GameDir 1538 are required for this to work. They are direct copies of existing items, except for a new tag, <usActionItemFlag>.
- The name of the new action items should clarify in the editor what an item does.

o See: builddefines.h: #define USE_HIGHSPEED_GAMELOOP_TIMER
o Gamers reported on the Bears Pit, that an executable compiled WITH the highspeed timer enabled makes the game unplayable slow in mapscreen mode when doing certain actions (repair, ...). That is the reason, why I made the compilation of the highspeed timer optional. Currently it is disabled.

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 This JA2 demo executable is as close as possible to the original JA2 demo, but with the 1.13 features!
--> No laptop, disabled strategy actions, auto merc hired, only P1 maps, ...
o To build the 1.13 executable, just enable the "JA113DEMO" define in builddefines.h
o The 1.13 demo executable will read from ja2_Demo.ini instead of ja2.ini
o You also need the "Data-JA2Demo" folder from the official 1.13 SVN GameDir: https://ja2svn.dyndns.org/source/ja2_v1.13_data/GameDir
o Once you start the game with the demo executable, you will notice the "START DEMO" instead of "START NEW GAME" in the main menu
o Multiplayer is disabled in the demo executable
- There is another new define called "JA113NODEMO" (by Jazz)
o See builddefines.h
o If this define is enabled, a special version of 1.13 is build

*** Walking and sidestepping with weapon raised ***
o Enable/disable the walking/sidestepping with raised weapon in ja2_options.ini: ALLOW_WALKING_WITH_WEAPON_RAISED

o The following feature apply when you walk/sidestep with weapon raised:
-> limited angle of view, but you can see more farther when the weapon has a scope
-> better change for interrupts if you see an enemy
-> less APs and BPs when shooting, because the weapon is already raised
-> It should cost more APs when walking. Maybe you can export the additional AP and BP modifier to the APBPConstants.ini
