- Add alternative fix for CalcBestShot which should remove existing APs problems maybe even create AI deadlier then ever ;-)
Details:
- Existing CalcBestShot simply became inadequate and buggier for so many add ons to game, so compiling with dnlCALCBESTSHOT is alternative option which calculate all turning, stance and raising gun cost for different stances and all available scopes, and after all hoping fix incorrect APs calculation as well, hitrate formula is adapt to 100AP system, also try to optimize a bit to get less AICalcChanceToHitGun calls and to use with different stance decisions.
- From ch58 aiming for burst and autofire was disabled as was causing invalid action handle due to incorrect APs calculation so from now aiming AI also use aiming before bursting.

- Fixing Tank bursting shells problem, and some other tank related bugs.
Details:
- There are several problem with Tank handling, main was forcing to use gun although already decide to use machinegun which lead to bursting shells.
- Another one was related to machinegun usage as current autofire handling is not supported by TANK BURST animation which had limit to 6 rounds, so decision to fire anything different then 6 lead to complete wrong APs deduction.
- Fix some invalid animation decision as current tank cannot raise gun or move or check for cover.
- Fix problem with wrong return (INT8) although after introduction of 100AP system APs variables are INT16 which create bad APs calculation for tank.
- Fix general problem with burst and autofire when soldier decide to when swap weapons.

- Fixing AI problems when they use launchers.
Details:
- Seems from implementation of 100AP system and new attachment system and new kind of GL launchers, AI use them improperly or not used at all. Bugs was:
- Bursting grenades from non burst launcher.
- Not use GL if grenade is already in it
- Not firing from rocket launcher if couldn't find hand grenade.
- Refusing to launch grenade from attached GL if couldn't find grenade in other pockets.
- Never fire from single rocket launchers like LAW.
- Incorrect chance to throw calculation for GLs which lead into no decision to throw.
- Whole cylinder of grenades was permanently remove from pocket after reloading launcher.

- Basic support for reducing AI friendly fire.
Details:
- Friendly fire grids are defined during best shot calculation then AI decide depending of soldier character to fire or take other action. Still in autofire accidentally friendly hits could be higher depending of bullets spreading.

- Fix several problems which lead into bad or no AI decisions, add optional decision of short autofire.
Details:
- Avoid use of last two locations per turn
- Fix problems with improper APs calculations for burst and autofire which lead into AI to forcably cancel and end turn for those actions.
- Add option for decide to use short autofire instead of one long to enchance chance to hit.
- After taking cover change facing toward closest enemy to avoid going in status red and rather take proper black decisions.
- Fix bad public noise processing after AI investigate closest disturbance and find nothing, also erase all same noise points in team members if one of them already investigated.

- Fix: sometimes, capturing the last enemy did not end combat as it should
- code change: POW are no longer considered visible opponents. This avoids the error of incorrect sight counters (a bit similar to dying enemies)

- individual LBE gear can be created via MOLLE items. For each LBE item, there's a definition which pockets may be changed and how much space the new pockets may take up in total.
- If there's a free pocket slot and enough space -> attach item and enable pocket.
- for further description, see Doc/Design Document- MOLLE.txt

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 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.

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)

Development Trunk: https://ja2svn.dyndns.org/source/ja2/branches/Wanne/JA2%201.13%20MP
A detailed list of all the features (changes) is visible in the history log of the development trunk:
INFO: The source code for the official 2011 release (4870) has been branched here:
https://ja2svn.dyndns.org/source/ja2/branches/JA2_rev.4870_2011
This commit contains the following features:
*** Externalized Vehicles ***
o Now with this feature we can add/remove vehicles
o New XML File: TableData\Vehicles.xml
o Added a new function parameter to lua file Scripts\Overhead lua to set up the helicopter in method: SetUpHelicopterForPlayer()
o Added example mini (Docs\Externalized Vehicles Example.zip) mod which adds 2 additional vehicles (hummer and ice-cream truck to sector A9)
*** Up to 255 save slots ***
- There is a "Next" and "Prev" button where you can scroll through the save slots
- It is now possible to load the automatic save (SAVE_EVERY_N_HOURS) from the load screen. This is the first slot after the quickload slot
- Added the 2 alternate players end turn saves (which can be enabled/disabled in option screen) to the save/load game form
*** New Feature: Externalized emails from Emails.edt to XML***
o This feature can be enabled/disabled in the Source:
--> See email.cpp: If "ReadXMLEmail" == FALSE, then normal way (read from Email.edt) otherwise read from XML files
o 2 new XML files: TableData\Email\EmailMercAvailable.xml and EmailMercLevelUp.xml
o Renamed SenderNamesList.xml to EmailSenderNamesList.xml and moved from TableData folder to TableData\Email folder
o Names for mercenaries are get from the file MercProfiles.xml and different names get from the file EmailSenderNamesList.xml
*** Externalized Hidden Towns (Tixa, Orta) ***
o Now it is possible to add new hidden towns (locations)
o See file: TableData/Map/Cities.xml
o New variable in TableData/Map/Cities.xml
- hiddenTown: 0 = show on strategy map, 1 = Hide on strategy map
- townIcon: 1 = on, 0 = off (This is the icon you see on the strategy map)
- szIconFile: The path to the sti icon file (eg: interface\prison.sti, interface\my_icon.sti)
- iconPosition: The x,y position of the icon on the strategy map
*** Encyclopedia and Briefing Room, reachable from the laptop ***
o 2 new ja2_options.ini properties: BRIEFING_ROOM, ENCYCLOPEDIA
o demonstration video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CIXdXWLrAo
o Added Example usage of the Briefing Room
- Extract it in your JA2 1.13 folder and use the latest development executable
- The briefing room can be reached from the laptop. Enter SN5631 for the code and then click the "Exit" button
- See "Info_BriefingRoom.txt" and "BriefingRoom_Mission1.png"
*** Improved interrupt system (IIS) ***
o This system changes the way interrupts work. See: http://www.ja-galaxy-forum.com/board/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=290787#Post290787
o Option system (see ja2_options.ini: IMPROVED_INTERRUPT_SYSTEM)
o A few more settings for the interrupt system in ja2_options.ini
o INFO: Multiplayer games always use the "old" interrupt system, not matter what the user selects in the ja2_options.ini

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
*** Increase squad size to 8 (800x600) and 8 and 10 (1024x768) ***
o Squad sizes (dependend on the screen resolution) can be selected in the start new game screen
o In a multiplayer game, the squad size will always be 6, because it does not work with more soldiers/squad
*** Added UB-1.13 source code ***
o Merged the UB-1.13 source code (Revision: 4721) from svn: http://subversion.assembla.com/svn/ub-source113
o If you want to build UB-EXE or UB-MapEditor, just enable the 2 defines (JA2UB and JA2UBMAPS) in "builddefines.h"
o The UB-Verion reads from "ja2_UB.ini" instead of "ja2.ini"
o There are 2 new XML files
- Layout\LayoutMainMenu.xml
- MapAction\ActionItems.xml
o There are 2 new LUA-Script files
- Scripts\ExplosionControl.lua
- Scripts\InterfaceDialogue.lua
*** Hide enemy health text / enemy hit count ***
o ja2_options.ini: HIDE_ENEMY_HEALTH_TEXT, HIDE_ENEMY_HIT_COUNT
o both new settings only have effect in a singleplayer game
o see: http://www.ja-galaxy-forum.com/board/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=128840&page=1

Now a more controversial change and perhaps unrelated now since its not in NCTH code. In line with my comment above I tried to make soldiers more likely to make a partial move toward the target if the chance to hit is really, really low and out of effective gun range but still reserving enough AP to make a partial shot. I also allowed this on Cunning soldiers instead of just aggressives figuring that target is in sight they are more likely to fight.
This with the other change has at least made them more aggressive and less likely to run in circles when armed with pistols and has actually made them quite a threat again. Not crazy about the implementation since I'd like a more accurate range check and AP calculation since AP to fire will change after movement. I figure the increased CTH by getting closer will counteract the cost to move.

o Development Trunk (Revision: 4444): https://81.169.133.124/source/ja2/branches/Wanne/JA2%201.13%20MP
o This trunk (the official 1.13 source trunk) will only be used for fixing bugs. No new features will be added here.
New Features are only included in the Development trunk
o !!! After we have fixed a bug here in this trunk, we should MANUALLY merge the bugfix in the development trunk !!!

* hopefull disable of grenades
* added a LOS check from your mercs to a door to see if it should be animated or not.
* looked into the "ENEMY_ENABLED" issue, it is not double defined, the one in network.h is part of a struct and not connected. made some changes to do tests for ==0 or ==1 rather than boolean. but i believe there must be some misunderstanding possibly. ENEMY_ENABLED only enables or disables the enemy AI, And only when coop is enabled... when its not there is no ai whatsoever, but you can still get into deathmatch battle under the various ini settings.
enjoy, the bullets are finishing themselves off much better now ! :)
