Bugfixes:
- Fix: Watched Locations system (never worked in 1.13)
- Fix: LineOfSight test with NO_DISTANCE_LIMIT (stopped on trees previously)
AI/tactical improvements:
- EstimateThrowDamage additionally calculates damage from fragments (important for AI to use frag grenades with low main damage and many fragments)
- EstimateThrowDamage correctly adds IndoorModifier
- Additional checks for RED suppression (check that the soldier will not shoot his friends, check that he has extra clip to reload weapon, check that target is not cowering, don't suppress when flanking)
- ClosestReachableDisturbance will use general noise only if cannot find any enemy
- Allow RED seeking in prone stance if we haven't seen enemy for several turns
Flanking improvements:
- allow YELLOW flanking for CLOSEPATROL at night
- better YELLOW/RED flanking start/stop conditions
- better RED AI behavior when finished flanking (try to reach flanking spot)
- allow RED flanking for CLOSEPATROL soldiers when at night, overcrowded or no other flanking soldiers yet
Optional AI improvements:
AI_EXTRA_SUPPRESSION
- AI will use suppression fire more often in RED state (set minimum AI CTH to 1)
AI_NEW_MORALE
- Better dynamic morale calculation depending on tactical situation.
- Additional min/max limits for AI morale
- Disabled HOPELESS morale for soldiers without guns (they can pick up weapon or attack with hands sometimes)
AI_BETTER_COVER
- Additional checks for line of sight, fresh corpses and overcrowded locations
AI_EXTRA_FLANKING
- Allow flanking for BRAVEAID/BRAVESOLO

Improved AI RED/YELLOW flanking:
- better direction calculation (use direction arrays)
- increased search range 4->8
- removed incorrectly calculated AP limit (use CalcActionPoints instead)
- additional direction for flank spot searching
- prefer desired direction
- penalize tiles with no cover from noise location
- penalize tiles too far from noise location
- don't go into deep water for flanking
- skip water tiles (can flank over water tiles only if can cross them in one turn)
- min/max flanking range depends on time of day and base sight range
- skip buildings when searching for flank spot if not in building already, because soldiers often run into buildings and stop flanking
- use RUNNING movement mode for flanking instead of default SWATTING
- only CUNNINGSOLO and CUNNINGAID soldiers flank
- don't start flanking when no friends between soldier and noise gridno (in 3 directions)
- stop flanking when no friends between soldier and noise gridno (in 3 directions)
- stop flanking and reset flank counter in BLACK state
- avoid map edges when flanking
- disable flanking for soldiers with limited roaming range (STATIONARY/ONGUARD/CLOSEPATROL/SNIPER)
In general, AI flanking is much more effective now (it never fully worked previously, especially in turnbased).

Removed options:
AUTO_FAST_FORWARD_ENEMIES
AUTO_FAST_FORWARD_MILITIA
AUTO_FAST_FORWARD_CIVS

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: chance of a prisoner becoming militia was calculated wrong
- default weight maximum for MOVE ITEM assignment increased from 30 to 40 kg
- Fix: snitches report the same event multiple times
- Fix: snitches treat vehicles as persons
- Fix: selection of launchables is inefficient, an does not take into account wether items are depending on day/night cycle
- new key combination: in strategic, pressing [CTRL] + [E] wile both a merc's inventory and the sector inventory are open will fill the merc's inventory with sector items
- trivial code cleanup
- if prisoners are taken in a sector that houses a prison, that prison can also be selected to house them

- GetClosestFlaggedSoldierID can also be called without evaluation of sight
- Fix: Covert Ops: throwing/lobbing items or shooting rockets is deemed suspicious behaviour
- Fix: boxing was broken by loading a savegame

- ja2_options.ini: MAX_BACKPACK_WEIGHT_TO_CLIMB, USE_GLOBAL_BACKPACK_SETTINGS
- First setting is sBackpackWeightToClimb which is the maximum weight a backpack can weigh and still allow you to climb with. The sBackpackWeightModifier in items.xml can modify that number by either making it harder (positive number modifier) or easier (negative number modifier). If the sBackpackWeightToClimb is -1 (default) then the option is unused.
Second setting is fUseGlobalBackpackSettings which if true (default) uses the same rules for all backpacks, while if false it checks for the fAllowClimbing tag in items.xml, and if that is true you can climb with said backpack.
Both options can be used at the same time, so you may climb with (for example) a malice backpack that weighs less than 5kg (or 50 hg) but not climb with a radio set.

- new option: ENEMY_MEDICS_HEAL_SELF: medics can heal themselves
- new option: ENEMY_OFFICERS_SURRENDERSTRENGTHBONUS adds a team surrender strength bonus for officers
- tanks cannot become medics, and can't be treated by them either
- Menubutton for Role symbol toggle is red if off and green if on
- wounded soldiers seek medics, max range is ENEMY_MEDICS_SEARCHRADIUS / 2
- direct sight line between medic and target is no longer required
- if hostile civilians allied to the army are in sector, their surrender strength is added to the enemy team

Requires GameDir >= r1987.
- If an enemy is spawned with a radio set, he is more likely to become a radio operator.
- It is now possible to mount a gun on prone allies if you are facing them on the right angle.
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@7072 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- If a merc repairs up to a threshold below 100, display a slightly different message
- Due to radio operator jamming, AI red alert can fail (intentional part of the trait). In that case, forbid the soldier from using radio again this turn, as this would be a fruitless waste of APs.

- Fixed problems after hosting game in strategy screen (crashes, options not clickable, ...)
o The problems seems to be the reworked taunts initialization from revision 6640. I did not trace down the exact problem, but taunts should anyway be disabled in a multiplayer game
o Now taunts are disabled in a multiplayer game which fixes the above problems

- You can also open them with VS 2012
- I just changed the toolset for all projects to V100 (VS 2010) instead of V120 (VS 2013), because I don't have VS 2013 installed. If anyone can't compile with VS 2013, we simply switch back to V120 toolset

- ridiculous amount of tags: attack, hit, miss, kill, head pop, blinded, type of attack, is target a zombie...
- ripostes to merc quotes,
- taunts can now make noise,
- bumped up amount of taunts to respectable 733, mostly thanks to your contributions guys,
- accidently squashed bug with incorrect noise notifications ("hears scream" instead of "hears explosion" etc.)
Ripostes
At the moment enemies can react to quotes "enemy detected", "1st enemy detected", "multiple enemies detected", "bullet flew by", "under heavy fire", as these are most likely to be used in combat. In the first three cases, riposting enemy will be chosen randomly from all enemy witnesses, latter two - last enemy to attack this merc will taunt.
Enemy's riposte will come as soon as merc quote is finished.
Noisy taunts
Taunts can be handled like other noises in game - shots, explosions, etc., meaning:
- they will be displayed only if someone from our team is close enough to hear them,
- they can be heard even if you don't see enemy (with twist of his name changed to "unknown voice". Yay.)
- volume of taunts is configurable in .ini.

- Items.xml tag <PercentRecoilModifier> will now be displayed in UDB advanced tab.
- Item_Settings.ini has new modifiers for gun type specific <bRecoilX> and <bRecoilY>. This allows modders to quickly adjust recoil values for any gun type.
- fixed UDB description for <RecoilModifierX> and <RecoilModifierY>
- All recoil calculations now use FLOAT values for more precision.
