o Speck can be hired by M.E.R.C
o From now on, as long as Speck is hired (or dead, or POW, or travelling), he won't be sitting on Speck Com nor sending you emails. However, is he's able to, he'll comment on current situation from battlefield: player owing money, Flo getting married, MERC merc dying, etc., so keeping him alive might be a good idea
o GameDir data revision >= 1701

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

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.

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.

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
-> Disable all meanwhiles, emails, blocked quest with queen, alien queen

o A define ENABLE_ENCYCLOPEDIA defines, if the encyclopedia code should be compiled
o What is happening here is encyclopedia has a lot of really big structures (ENCYCLOPEDIA_LOCATION) and then a lot of arrays of size NUM_SECTOR, NUM_PROFILES, NUMITEMS which are fairly sizable themselves.
o What the problem with doing this is when you need to allocate memory it typically needs to go to virtual memory to get large blocks of memory (malloc and related routines all do this) but you only have 2GB worth of virtual space as a pointer is 32 bits and user mode gets half of that 00000000-7FFFFFFF for addressing. This statically allocated space is taking up 7/8ths of the virtual address space. When animations or maps need to be loaded there might not be enough virtual space left due to fragmentation.
o To see the amount of committed memory, open TaskManager and add the "Committed Memory" column to the view

o This allows you to toggle between a gun's different scopes via the '.' key. Y
o You get the boni for vison, tunnel vison, sight range, scope magnification etc. only for the scope you use.
o 2 new ja2_options.ini properties: USE_SCOPE_MODES, DISPLAY_SCOPE_MODES: Allows the display of an icon on your gun, to tell what scope is currently in use. If it is a scope, the magnification factor also gets written. Both options can be found under the [Tactical Gameplay Settings] section in the ja2_options.ini
o new tag in items.xml (<attachmentclass>) now enables to specifiy what an attachment can do. At the moment used by grenades/rockets/scopes/sights. Items.xml changed accordingly, modders need to add this tag for those items.
o More infos: First post in: http://www.ja-galaxy-forum.com/board/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=303038&#Post303038
- WARNING: This feature breaks savegame compatibility.
