- New Feature: Externalized option on whether mercs can exit sector using grid exit in turn based mode
o new ja2_options.ini property: GRID_EXIT_IN_TURNBASED
o This ini setting does not affect leaving sectors on map edges
- Rework/Update: Ammo boxes and Ammo crates
o Ammo crate items added for remaining calibers. Tweaked prices to correspond to magazines, tweaked capacities and weights to be reasonable (~800 or less).
o Shift-R reload now looks at both boxes and crates in sector items and merc's inventory to reload, and tops off magazines in inventory as well. Only possible outside of combat.
o Ctrl-Shift-A still creates crates as per usual, with some fixes to ensure all ammo is caught on the first press.
o Shift-A now creates ammo boxes in the same loop. They mostly behave like crates, but fit in mercs inventories.
o Ammo boxes are available to purchase at BR and tony, sam, etc. Individual magazines/drums/etc are no longer available.
o Removed ammo crate xml tag. Added ubMagType tag to Magazines array. This allows us to differentiate between magazines, bullets, boxes and crates.
o Changed ammo filtering in BR's to display boxes appropriately. Added back the "Mag:" display (changed text to "Size:")
o Added ja2set.dat.xml file (WF map version in WF maps folder) to be used instead of ja2set.dat file (ja2.ini setting added) For now, if you want to play vanilla instead, just change the setting in the ini (see comments in file).
o Added P4-P9Items image files (up to 5k images each) and tileslots. 1.13 core items will continue to use Guns and P1-P3Items for the foreseeable future. P4-P9 can be used by customizers/modders to avoid conflicts with Guns/P1-P3 items. TODO: Need to discuss a strategy for this in the forums.
o Added in Ambient/0.bad and 32.bad to avoid an exception in the code.
o Updated the XML Editor
o Standardized the text on all the ammo items.
- New Multiplayer Feature: Sharing same FOV (field of view) in a coop/team-dm (for friendly teams) game
o You will also see enemies, that your teammate sees

** Merged Source Code from Development trunk, for the Spring 2011 Release **
****************************************************************************
o Development Trunk (Revision: 4444): https://81.169.133.124/source/ja2/branches/Wanne/JA2%201.13%20MP
o This trunk (the official 1.13 source trunk) will only be used for fixing bugs. No new features will be added here.
New Features are only included in the Development trunk
o !!! After we have fixed a bug here in this trunk, we should MANUALLY merge the bugfix in the development trunk !!!

- 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
Replaced Windows console with freeware console implementation. Activate in windowed mode with \
Added error and quit if JA2 started in window mode in >16bpp color depth
Fix to enemy sector investigation: Was deducting from redshirts when elites investigated
Fix AWOL militia (need additional fix to prevent them from being redistributed during after reinforcements)
Fix to tanks to add them in their original spot when a new one cannot be found. Should modify to remove old wreckage in this case.
AI no longer tries to fire mortar when no room for it
Tanks no longer try to throw knives
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@1030 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)

- Removed Omerta from the list of "unimportant" sectors (Estoni and San Mona still "unimportant")
- Allowed queen to attack Omerta before day 2 at 7:45AM and Drassen before day 3 at 6:30AM
- The reinforcements are not reassigned anymore when the sector where they were going to is captured by player
- Omerta garrison is not reassigned anymore when queen fortifies cities
- Enabled investigation of lost city sector by the enemy
*Limit for the investigation of the sector depends on difficulty level (4, 8, 12 and unlimited on INSANE)
