- Fixing mapeditor move building and improving some related mapeditor stuff.
Details:
- Change the way exit grids are add, remove, save and load through editor, also add undo option for exit grids and you can place unlimited number of them.
- Fix incorrect gridno save in temporary map file for bigmap exit grids.
- Increase maximum number of light sprite from 256 to 4096 per map.
- Using DEL key for QuickEraseMapTile will now erase ItemPool too, and with improved function DeleteStuffFromMapTile will erase light sprites, exit grids and door locks.
- Cliff hang tiles used for middle cliffs are now possible to erase with when erase button is on.
- Add support for undo door locks, also you can now erase them if erase button is on.
- Move building function is completely rewrite and will properly move exit grids, door locks, lights and items too.
- Removing unnecessary tiles during copy building is improved too.
- Fix undo function for light sprites which now will also store all three types and undo them properly.
- Fix CTD situation if tile elements are deleted and after that items too, then undo will crash mapeditor.
- Fix spawning of item pool cursors during when adding items.
- Fix text glitches over door locks form.
- Fix sticky tooltip when loadsave screen or door locks form is active.
- High ground marking cursors will not be drawn in invisible map tiles anymore to increase speed and maybe fix some render problems but I doubt it.
- Move GLOCK_17_ForUseWithLOS item generation from init.cpp to los.cpp to avoid potential problems if global world items array not set.

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

o After some investigation I determined that the one of the files in the temp folder was being written to repeatedly and on top of that opening and closing over a 1500 times
o Instead of writing to in memory arrays before writing to disk its opening many temporary files and appending data to them repeatedly
o I rewrote part of the code so that it only opened the files once and wrote to them and would create them fresh when it did.

- 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
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

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)
