- Fix: soldier's damaged by a blast always receive at least 1 damage, even if damage calculation results in 0
- If vehicles destroy a wall, this can now bring down a building's roof

New option in CTHConstants.ini:

- COVER_TOOLTIP_DISPLAY_DETAILED_TILE_PROPERTIES under [Tactical Cover System Settings] set to true will let "f" cover tooltip to present detailed information about tile. Only relevant (non-zero) info will be shown.
- fixed bug causing trap level to be ignored and limited final maximum and minimum camo of given map grid between 0 and 100.

- 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.

- Feature can be completely disabled in .ini as COVER_SYSTEM_ADDITIONAL_TILE_PROPERTIES under Tactical Cover System Settings.
- With Additional Tile Properties it's possible to supply all tiles with additional data, just like with .jsd files, except in XML.
Files need to have same name as tile's .sti and .jsd files, and be put in \tilesets\AdditionalProperties\, or in specific \tilesets\xx\.
- With additional properties it's possible to specify which camo type, and how effectively will work on any tile. Only snow camo will work on snow covered roofs, red carpet in palace won't perfectly cooperate with urban camo anymore, thick grass in the middle of the forest will provide better camouflage than sparse grass near the road.
- It's now possible to specify footstep volume and stealth difficulty modifier of any tile. Carpets will absorb noise, tile floors amplify it, twigs laying on the tile will make sneaking harder. Choose your path carefully, taffer.

- All recoil calculations now use FLOAT values for more precision.

The description of this modifier says that "Higher is better."
Before this fix a higher value actually made target tracking worse. Now it should work like it was supposed to be.

- Throwing knives had tendency to magically disappear if hit some kind structure.
Details:
- For those who like Dimitri, throwing knives will not disappear anymore if hit some structure or flies into the sky, also using them affect their condition.

When swapping merc faces in tactical the game will now rebuild the mercs squad.
Changed NCTH behaviour for lasers:
When USE_NEW_CTH_CALCULATION = TRUE in Ja2_Options.ini the game now uses the item property <BestLaserRange> now for a laser specific bonus instead of <ProjectionFactor>. This bonus is a percentage reduction of the base aperture in NCTH. This functionality will only be used if one of the following new parameters in CTHConstants.ini is NOT 0.
LASER_PERFORMANCE_BONUS_HIP
LASER_PERFORMANCE_BONUS_IRON
LASER_PERFORMANCE_BONUS_SCOPE
This functionality also affects the laser property that is displayed in UDB.
Changed NCTH behaviour for Iron Sights and other 1x sights:
Iron sights and other 1x sights can now receive a bonus in NCTH to make them more useful compared to scopes. This bonus is a percentage reduction of the base aperture just like lasers can do.
There is a new parameter in CTHConstants.ini for this:
IRON_SIGHT_PERFORMANCE_BONUS

- Vertical angle formula fix and accidental hits in OCTH.
Details:
- No more accidental hits at target for which OCTH calculate miss, this was especially inflicted to prone targets, cause was vertical angles and ridiculous definition in JSD stance files.
- Rollback to original v1.12 Distance2D calculation, because game use tan not cos function for vertical angle. Bad vertical angles in close distance 3 tiles or less (as Distance3D calculate 8 tiles), means that you will always hit target regardless of OCTH result.
- Also fix distance formula which had wrong factor 2.56 instead of 25.6, at close distance that was problem because height for one level is defined by 256 units per one tile which had value of 10.
- Add little adjustment to vertical bullet angles so bullets spread more in visual ranges.
- Bug fix when dice roll is equal to OCTH which means miss but currently was always treated as hit even when OCTH is pure 0.

- (bug) first Tooltip for weapons (secondary and tertiary values like recoil) was missing, last one showed (null,null).
- (cleanup) code cosmetic/potential bug: cnt now (hopefully) match the count of actual rendered values/MouseRegions and Icons.
- (feature adjustment) freshness Bar for food now shows the decay. Color values for bar range from green (over yellow) to red. hight of bar shows the percentage.
- (feature adjustment) Food properties are now shown in DB. A Data patch is needed to show the new Icons, those however are placeholders for better ones, the tooltips also need a rework by a native english and translation to the different languages.
- (feature adjustment) When FoodSystem is enabled the weight of a foodtype item is adjusted to account for partially eaten item.
- (bug) Performance fix 1: multiple TransformIcons where rendered in DB above each other.
- (bug) Performance fix 2: condition to leave loop when on end of Transform list was not met due to missing cast (65535!=-1).
- (bug) 'endless dying mercs in roof edges' fix in rev.6346 condition was never met.
- (bug) Popups were missplaced when clicking on a trainer-assignment multiple times to close the submenu.
- (bug) Popups were missplaced when clicking on a practice-assignment multiple times to close the submenu.
- (bug) Popups were missplaced when clicking on a student-assignment multiple times to close the submenu.
- (bug) Popups were missplaced when clicking on a facility-assignment multiple times to close the submenu. note: the bug might only be reproducable when selecting different screensize then the 3 native ones.
- (bug) MouseMasks for disabling timeCompress buttons did not match size of buttons, Clock Overlay was missing
- (cleanup) Replaced Hardcoded fallback Gridnumbers with CenterGrid if no exitGrid was specified in map editor. Same behavier than before, but since we have bigmaps and possibly other mapsizes it should not be constant.
- (bug) Sight range calulation uses distance visible with and without scope to get a scopeRangeMod=sDistVis/sDistVisNoScope. Blind soldiers will have 0 sDistVisNoScope, which means the scopeRangeMod is a div/0 (not defined result). After fix we get a defined result for scopeRangeMod of 1.0f in case there is a 0 distance. Also we get a defined result for sightrange since sightrange=sightrange/scopeRangeMod = 0/1.0f.
- (bug) Experimental NCTH calulation did return 0 CTH with 0 aimclicks but it should return at least the base CTH.
- (cleanup) added comment to get an idea of the 'magic' aiming Points formula
- (feature adjustment) Flat backpack malus replaced with malus which scales linear with weight of backpack up to maximum specified in ini file. Each 5 kg 1 additional malus is applied for movement. When carrying pack in hands or inside another pocket the full malus is applied. Malus for changing stances is still 1 additional Point when carrying backpack (does not matter in which slot).

Details:
- Friendly fire grids are defined during best shot calculation then AI decide depending of soldier character to fire or take other action. Still in autofire accidentally friendly hits could be higher depending of bullets spreading.
