New Features
-------
- Added Big Maps Project support. You will not see any differences until I release the new Big Maps project Map Editor
o This will allow playing really big tactical maps (up to 2000 rows X 2000 cols, instead of "normal" 160 rows X 160 cols)
- Added Multiplayer v1.5
o Most important feature in this version is the synchronization of explosives (grenades, TNT, ...) and fixes some bugs
Info
-------
- Because of the Big Maps Project integration most of the structures have changed and you HAVE TO START A NEW GAME
o If you don't want to use the new EXE, I have renamed the previous release EXE to "ja2_3329.exe" and you can continue playing with your existing savegames.

Bugfixes
--------
- Fixed NPC and PC movement errors
- Fixed boxers in San Mona do not leave the boxing ring after the fight
- Fixed Darren does not pay the cash after you won the boxing fight
- Removed a line of code which fiddled with chance to hit calculation.
- Cover Display now works correctly with multiple enemies.
- Cover Display has no problems with stance anymore.
- Enhanced IMP Creation: When choosing female, after leaving color choosing, the "email" button is removed. That's because the code tries to remove a button which do not exist (for big/small body) so it grabs the first one around (fixed by Sandro)
- Fixed CTD when throwing item (grenade, rock, throwing knife, ...) in tactical when item description box is open

- gave built-in bipods to many guns that are depicted with a bipod and cannot have a foregrip anyway (some with depicted bipod may not have this because a foregrip can be attached instead of the bipod).
- allowed attachment of a bipod to the G36K
