- LockPickModifier modifies the lockpick chance by a specific number. If the number is positive, it is proportional to the locksmith kit's status, if the number is negative, it will always be the same. Tag is ignored if the item isn't a LocksmithKit. FindLocksmithKit should return the one that gives the biggest bonus, but it may have trouble with stacked lockpicks. Hovering over the "Locksmith Kit" icon in UDB should tell you how much of a bonus (or penalty) that item gives you.
- CrowbarModifier increases your chances to force open by using a crowbar by the number indicated. Default vanilla crowbar has a bonus of 20, so an item with a bonus of 10 will be worse than a crowbar (but possibly smaller). FindUsableCrowbar should return the item with the biggest bonus. Tag is ignored if the item isn't a Crowbar. Hovering over the "Crowbar" Icon in UDB should tell you by how much your chances are improved, though if the item is also a weapon, the icon isn't visible.
- RepairModifier modifies a toolkit's effectiveness by that percentage. If you try to repair with a shoddy toolkit that has a RepairModifier of -20, you'll be 80% as effective, while repairing with an excellent toolkit that has a RepairModifier of 20 means you are 120% as effective. When checking if you have a toolkit at hand, it should select the one with the biggest bonus. Tag is ignored if item isn't also a Toolkit. Hovering over the "Toolkit" icon in UDB should tell you how effective the repair kit is.
- DisarmModifier increases your chances to disarm a trap by the indicated amount, modified by the Diffusal Kit's status. The FindDisarmKit should return the item with the biggest bonus, though it uses the top item in a stack. Currently using the "Wirecutters" icon in UDB, hovering over it should tell you by how much your trap disarm chance is improved.

o externalized the hardcoded popup text code
o enable/disable the popup in the ingame option screen
-> To open the popup, left click on empty merc inventory slot while viewing sector inventory in mapscreen

- added a flag that drastically lowers the time needed for drug evaluations
- FIX: fixed a but that could lead to iron sights be used although they were forbidden
- FIX: scopes/sights are also selectable if they do not have a magnification factor (1.0 is used)
- FIX: sector cooldown to zero didn't work as intended

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
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5356 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
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.

- bombs armed in the inventory now have a small indicator that describes their settings
- fix: it is no longer possible to remove the detonators of an armed bomb. Trying so will detonate it.
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5351 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- fixed a bug that prevented zombies from rising in turnbased mode
- fixed a bug that prevented weapons on the floor from cooling down in turnbased mode
- fixed a bug that caused gun traps with buckshot ammo to deduct to much ammo
- fixed a bug that could crash the game when firing a lot of gun traps at the same time
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5346 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- fixed a bug that caused wrong cursors to be dispalyed in NCTH
- fixed an oversight that caused the scope mode toggle not to be working
- corrected fortification cursor issues
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5345 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- fixed a bug that prohibited building a structure in turnbased mode
- fixed a bug that caused a wrong AP cost for fortification actions
- fixed itemflag
- fixed cursor animations for fortifications
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5343 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- new code: added a new flagmask variable to items. This one is separately from the attachments index, and can be used to determine item properties without adding up to 32 BOOLEAN varaibles
- fixed a bug that caused underbarrel weapon modes not to appear on guns with only one firing mode.
- zombie damage resistance and zombie can now be set separately via the JA2Options.ini
- fixed a bug that caused corpses not to disappear on time (graphic-only glitch)
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5341 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- if the terrain allows it, an empty sandbag (item 1540) can be filled to a full sandbag (item 1541). You need to have a shovel (item 1015) in your second hand. You will notice the new hammer cursor
- by using a full sandbag, you can build a sandbag barrier
- by using a concertina stack, you can build a concertina wire barrier
- this only works if the current map has sandbags/concertina wire in its tileset
- with a shovel in your hand, you can remove a sandbag barrier
- changed the size of shovel so it can actually be put in inventories. It was also necessary to remove its ability to be used as a melee weapon.

- guns can now be attached to tripwire and then be used as tripwire-activatd traps
o Attach any firearm (any gun, no RPGs, Mortars or GLs) to a piece of tripwire. You will need the newest xmls for that.
o You can plant the tripwire as you usually do.
o Once activated, the gun that is attached to the wire will fire once. It will fire in the direction that you planted the bomb, just like claymore mines do (the direction that the merc planting the wire was looking).
o The bullet fired has the range and damage it would have if fired from the gun.
o The gun correctly heats, jams, degrades and whatever else guns do when fired. If the gun is jammed, not pumped (pumpguns) or does not have ammo, it will not fire.
o After firing, the gun lies on the floor, just where the trp was planted.
o This can be applied to any tripwire. You can ave multiple of these traps. Just put them into your normal trap setup however you like.
o At the moment, only single shots are possible, even for guns that do not have a single shot mode (MG3 etc.)
o Although I did not experience any problems with attachments, it might be a good idea to take any attachments off a gun if you attach it to tripwire.
o When the gun is attached, it is possible to attach gun attachments (lasers, scopes etc.) to the explosive. Do not attach any attachments to the explosive. They will be lost if the wire is activated.
o see: http://www.bears-pit.com/board/ubbthreads.php/topics/305634.html#Post305634
-> To support this feature, some (already existing) xml-tags have been added to the weapons in Data-1.13\TableData\Items.xml (<nasAttachmentClass>, <AttachmentPoint>, <AttachToPointAPCost>, <Attachment>)
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5331 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- new variables for additional strength, dexterity, agility, wisdom and experience level due to drugs, traits etc.
- new flagmask for soldiers (so no new variables have to be added in the future)
- fix: stat-altering drugs work again and can now have a higher magnitude
- drug-altered stats now show up purple
- fix: option screen help texts were missing
WARING! This will break savegame compatibility
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5325 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
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.
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5313 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
o if a gun/attachment has the boolean tag <BlockIronSight> in Items.xml, a gun's iron sights wont be selectable while selecting scope modes.
o if using dual weapons, only iron sights can be used
o new attachmentclass: AC_IRONSIGHT (4194304) for attachable iron sights (display on gun is different from reflex sights, no other differences... yet)
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5291 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
o Minor feature added: Shift+RMB click on a gun with ammo inside, will now unload its magazine and place it on your cursor (if not holding anything already). You don't have to go to the weapon description box to unload it.
o Added Throwing trait support for NCTH (was left out before) and added a minor tweak to STOMP+NCTH compatibility.
o Fixed a bug in NCTH when aiming levels of very fast-to-aim guns could be lowered below zero during calculation, which resulted in suddenly giving the gun 8 aim levels making it extremely slow to aim instead. This occurs when you use a pistol with reflex sights with a Gunslinger merc. In the "AllowedAimingLevelsNCTH" the value "aimLevels" was defined as UINT8, so when it goes below 0, it becomes 255 and is then capped at 8. Changed it to signed.
- IIS fix (by Sandro)
o Interrupts on hearing now occur only in meaningful situations - either when enemy attacks us or comes very close to us.
o Added some other IIS tweaks and fixes (first of all the top status bar should now work properly).
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5289 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
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 Now maps saved with a map editor version from 1.13 revision <= 5216 should now work AGAIN with a compiled version (ja2.exe and Map Editor.exe) from THIS revision
o INFO: Maps saved with a map editor version between revision 5217 and 5269 will have incorrect data!
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5270 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
o Merc can stay crouched while picking up items and when stealing items from prone(/collapsed) enemy, he must crouch (will do automatically). It really feels much more intuitive.
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5265 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- allows creating of complex tripwire networks, that behave differently depending on where they are activated. Different networks can overlap, allowing a wide range of trap network designs
- added network-specific view methods (ALT + Shift + C)
- added new dialogues when planting tripwire
New feature: remote defusing of mines (by Flugente)
- the new items Remote Defuse and Remote Combo allow to remotely defuse a bomb that has been planted. Simply select a frequency for defusing upon planting the mine. This frequency is of course treated differently than a detonation frequency.
New feature: directional frag explosions (by Flugente)
- the tag <Directional>1</Directional> in Items.xml allows an explosive to be directional. Frags caused by its explosion will fly in the direction determined by the merc planting them.
- the tags <ubHorizontalDegree> and <ubVerticalDegree> in Explosives.xml determine the arc in which the frags will fly.
New feature: makeshift mines (by Flugente)
- you can now create mines out of grenades: simply merge tripwire with them. You can then use them like regular mines. They can also be activated by your tripwire networks.
- With a simple item transformation in the UDB, you can transform a makeshift mine back to a grenade and a piece of tripwire.
Minor changes (by Flugente)
- metal detector now only works if used in hands
- wire cutters give a bonus if in hands while defusing tripwire or tripwire-activatable mines/bombs
- added new message boxes with 8 and 16 buttons
- increased the maximum number of bullets that can be on screen from 200 to 1000 (necessary for mass claymore explosions)
- the tags <Detonator> and <RemoteDetonator> are not used anymore, as those properties can be set via flags in <AttachmentClass>. For now, they still remain in the xmls though.
WARNING! This will break savegame compatibility!

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

- Display bombs/mines/tripwires planted by your team
Red is for bomb/mine, yellow is for tripwire and orange is for both at the same tile.
o ALT + END: only display as long as the hotkey is pressed
o ALT + SHIFT + V: toggle permanent display on/off
- Display ALL (also enemy) planted BOMBS / MINES / TRIPWIRE when the selected merc has a metal detector in his hand
o ALT + DEL only display as long as the hotkey is pressed
o ALT + Shift + C toggle permanent display on/off

o This attachment fits most ARs, Rifles and SMGs. When attached, moving the gun from the main hand to the rifle sling slot does not cost APs when 'Inventory Manipulation costs AP' is turned on.
o When a merc would drop his gun because of damage taken, it is instead moved to the rifle sling slot if possible.
o A gun in the main hand or rifle sling slot cannot be stolen when a rifle sling is attached.
- Tripwire Feature Update (by Flugente)
o proper pictures for tripwire (by smeagol)
o Tripwire no longer activates diagonally.
o When multiple bombs/tripwires are on a tile, only those activatable by tripwire get removed upon deflagged.
- Scope Mode Feature Update (by Flugente)
o Fixed a bug that would crash the game when displaying guns in inventory
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5207 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
o Disabled the usage, because it seems to cause some problems when loading the maps (reported by Smeagol)
o Now it is possible again to choose if we want the XML tileset structure or the binary one (ja2.ini -> USE_XML_TILESETS)
o If we later need the additional P4-P9 items we can enable it again and have to check carefully what causes the problems
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@5205 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
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.
- New Feature: Tripwire-triggered mines (by Flugente)
o This allows creating complex networks of tripwire that can detonate multiple mines attached to them.
o 2 new Items.xml tags: tripwireactivation, tripwire
o More infos: http://www.ja-galaxy-forum.com/board/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=303205&#Post303205
- Overheating addition (by Flugente)
