Modified the Ranger trait to make it more useful after loosing all survival bonuses:
- aim click bonus for shotguns is now again 1 (hunter) or 2 (ranger)
- new aim click bonus for rifles that is half the shotgun bonus. With the default value of "1" this means 0 for hunter and 1 for ranger. This does NOT stack with the sniper bonus! It's one or the other depending on which is higher.
- new speed bonus to reloading single shells into shotguns
- new range bonus for shotguns of 10% (hunter) or 20% (ranger)
EDB now displays the trait modified values for:
- Gun Range
- Draw Cost

If the player killed all boxers during these fights the check would fail. A new externalized parameter "KINGPIN_RING_TILE" for Kingpins location at the ring was implemented. This is used to check if Kingpin is watching these first three fights. If so it will override the BoxersAvailable check.
fix: AI could be gathering around an empty player vehicle. Disturbance check should from now on ignore that.

- Fix: during dialogue, mercs did not agree often enough
- Fix: if no mercs were in any squad, Melody website did not show relations
- Dialogue has been reordered, this should make adding new ones slightly easier

- performing suspicious activities renders a spy easily identifiable for a short time (realtime) or until he ha spend enough AP (turnbased). This should make exploiting disguises harder.
- if a spy is closer than COVERT_ELITES_UNCOVER_RADIUS to an elite or officer, they can uncover the spy, depending on uniform worn an experience levels.

- new feature: ramming people - set with Tactical Gameplay Settings > ALLOW_CARS_DRIVING_OVER_PEOPLE and Tactical Gameplay Settings > ALLOW_TANKS_DRIVING_OVER_PEOPLE - when shift is pressed planned vehicle route will go through people. Those who will stay on its path will be hit, causing wounds and knock-outs.
- new feature: ramming structures - when shift is pressed planned vehicle route will go through obstacles. When vehicle hits the structure on its path it will be destroyed, causing small damage to vehicle too (with exception of tank). Tactical Gameplay Settings > CARS_RAMMING_MAX_STRUCTURE_ARMOUR and Tactical Gameplay Settings > TANKS_RAMMING_MAX_STRUCTURE_ARMOUR settings control how well armoured structure can be driven through and amount of potential damage for vehicle.

- Requires GameDir r2050.
- new background property: <dislikebackground> allows mercs to dislike specific backgrounds
- Fix: snitches did not correctly prevent misbehaviour
- Fix: morale event was not handled
- Fix: DropDowns did not refresh when using the arrow buttons

Fix: tank cannon and other internal items of IC_GUN class with unspecified gun type (NOT_GUN)
- It would by default use 0.0 for damage/range/handling/etc. modifiers, essentially making them useless (and leading to tanks never using their cannons). Now all modifiers for NOT_GUN are 1.0 by default and can be specified in Item_Settings.ini like any other type. (by anv & Buggler)

- Streamlined vehicle controls - no more selecting driver and vehicle separately, switching displayed APs and other esoteric activities. To move vehicle just select its driver and you're good to go. If you click on vehicle in tactical, also its driver will be selected automatically. Besides driving car, driver can perform other actions normally.
- Vehicle's APs, health and fuel are displayed on the steering wheel - thanks to Buggler for idea. Vehicle APs are treated as a resource (so if car changes driver mid-turn, it won't go any further than it would).
- Added option Tactical Interface Settings > ADD_PASSENGER_TO_ANY_SQUAD. If you order passenger to exit vehicle by clicking on the seat belt, he'll be added to new squad, so if you ordered six passengers to exit one by one, you'd end up with six new squads. With ADD_PASSENGER_TO_ANY_SQUAD = TRUE, passenger will be added to any existing squad with empty slot if possible.
- Added option Tactical Interface Settings > PASSENGER_LEAVING_SWITCH_TO_NEW_SQUAD. If you order passenger to exit vehicle by clicking on the seat belt, by default you get switched to his new squad. With PASSENGER_LEAVING_SWITCH_TO_NEW_SQUAD = FALSE you'll switch only if exiting passenger is the selected one.
- Cosmetic fix: changed display above vehicle from "*Merc's name* (VEHICLE)" to "*Merc's name* (*Vehicle's name*)" and colour from yellow to white (since mercs in vehicle are controllable and yellow is reserved for mercs on assignments).
- Fixed passengers rotation. Again.
- Fixed vehicles getting "tired" - lowered APs due to fuel below max. They can move the same as long as they have any fuel.
- Fixed unrelated bug: clicking on any empty slot in team panel would select merc with id 0.
- Fixed unrelated bug: switching to squad with less mercs would cause team panel to still show skill tooltips for mercs from previous squad on empty slots.

- To control vehicle, click on it or on the steering wheel in team panel under driver's portrait.
- Vehicles have two gears - slow drive and fast drive, switchable just like walking and running ('S', 'R', double-click).
- Vehicles working: Ice Cream Van, Hummer, Jeep, El Dorado and, potentially, tanks.
- Passengers can be selected and ordered to open fire from the inside
- You can also open inventory screen for passengers, pass or throw items, etc.
Normally vehicle is treated as any other merc and has its own APs. It has obvious disadvantages - it's possible to drive in the middle of the enemy group using vehicle's 100AP,
and then use all your mercs inside vehicle with their still full APs to kill everything that moves at point blank range - with even the driver participating!
- To prevent that you can set Tactical Gameplay Settings > AP_SHARED_AMONG_PASSENGERS_AND_VEHICLE_MODE with following calculation methods
