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 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.

- 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 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

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.

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
*** 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 You can set an AP/BP modifier when walking/sidestepping with weapon raised in APBPConstants.ini: AP_MODIFIER_WEAPON_READY
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

- Virtual File System (VFS) by birdflu. This is needed for Multiplayer and is also used for Single Player. Very neat system :-)
- Multiplayer Version 1.1 + some additional features and bugfixes
* INFO: If you compile a new EXE and want to test, be sure to also use the latest SVN GameDir files in your JA2 install directory *
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@2961 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
*small change associated with hidden interrupts now occuring and not necessarily only being between AI to hopefully stop crashes. (thanks for the call stack!)
*added no gear option 4 MERC
*disable explosions
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@2202 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
Made direction variables more consistent as unsigned chars. Several function prototypes updated for this.
Many memory leaks plugged: External options, video overlays, laptop file lists, tactical message queue, strategic pathing, autobandage, merc hiring, detailed placements, crate in Drassen, tactical placement
New functions and attributes for soldiers in LUA (still for debugging at best): Soldier.APs (current APs), Soldier.changestance (changes stance, uses game heights)
File catalog ignores .SVN directories (game load speedup)
Fix CTD in mouse regions
JA2 window now refuses to move to negative coords
Checks to prevent DirectX-related infinite loops due to minimizing and task switching
Invading enemies should now appear on the borders even when reinforcements disabled in .ini
Suppression should no longer work on mercs in medium water
Infant/Young creatures use restored spit instead of Molotov
Creatures begin with their 'guns' (spit) 'locked and loaded' (cartridge in chamber)
Further fix to AXP and AlaarDB's weapon ready check: Now 'firing' is always counted as 'ready'.
Prevent mercs from falling and flying back through obstacles
Check whether battle group is even set before testing its location for battle setup
Burst spread locations now limited to 6, the limit within the soldier struct
Extra burst spread locations zeroed out so that they aren't used unless necessary
Spread code now only shoots at locations in the spread, and will shoot at all 6
Only mercs in the sector where autobandage happens will be made to stand up after it's done
Throwing a grenade at the tail of the plane in Drassen should not result in a CTD
Reset attack busy count when loading a new sector
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@1347 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
Added missing #includes
Added LUA scripting and console
Changed the way tracers are visualized, so they work more like real tracers instead of a light fountain
Fixed signedness of many grid variables used in GetMouseMapPos calls
Fixed enemy weapon choosing: Sometimes a mortar is chosen but later rejected, but the grenade class was not reset. Caused assertion failure
Added checks so enemies don't try to chuck RPG grenades with their hands
Now possible to shoot a someone in the head if he's in water
Fixed InitSightArrays to also clear soldier interrupt duel points. This was causing an assertion failure elsewhere in the code because the interrupt list still had soldiers on it sometimes when this function was called.
Soldiers are much less willing to forfeit their turn over an attempt to use more APs than they have
Removed early setting of muzzle flash. This would allow enemies to get an interrupt before you even fired.
Fixed item dropping by AI. If AI tried to drop something while standing it would cause deadlock
Change to greatly speed up closing the sector inventory window in an unloaded sector
Added conditional compile flag to always give robot weapon ready advantage, even for 360 degree sighting
Check builddefines.h for the conditional flags. Of greatest interest might be LUA_CONSOLE. This will cause the game to bring up a command console when run. However this console is severely lacking in many areas. If anybody knows of an open-source terminal/console that could be used instead, it would be appreciated. The existing console does bad things when you try to close it, and since it counts as a separate app, it pauses the game while it has focus.
LUA scripting is very limited, basically just proof of concept. There is one global variable, the Soldiers array. An array index gives you the soldier in that slot in the currently loaded sector. The soldier has a few things that can be accessed: name (short name); fullname (long name); grid (current grid #, can be changed); walkto(grid) (function to walk to another grid); runto(grid) (function to run to another grid)

- Disappearing corpses (and possibly items) when cursor hovers over a square on the rooftop; also fixes a "write to freed memory" heap check
- Fixed improper printf field in a debug message

- updated breaklight effect to use the radius and duration values from Explosives.xml
- updated tracer bullet lighting effect (will probably require more tweaking)
- updated AI - when trapped in gas in Insane the AI goes nuts instead of getting scared. AI in all levels is more likely to use autofire over burst/single fire when in gas (panicking).

- Added Lesh's Explosion data externalization code for exp. animations, sounds, etc.
- Fixed some armor issues with ceramic plate-type attachments being attached to non-vest slots
