- 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.

Enhancements (by Buggler)
- Dynamic tactical squad hotkeys only take into account squads present in sector; freed back 11-20 tactical squad hotkeys as 10 dynamic squad hotkeys would be sufficient (thanks to Sevenfm)
- Externalized 'blinded by blast' hardcoded text

Updates/Improvements (by Sevenfm)
1. Quick inventory items:
Press [ALT] + [1..0] for quick access to predefined items in tactical (ja2_options.ini: QUICK_ITEM_0 to QUICK_ITEM_9)
Press [ALT] + [`] (tilde key left to [1]) to put item back to inventory and switch hands.
The item will be put in the same slot it was taken from (unless it was stacked or game was reloaded).
2. Also a few quick hotkeys:
[ALT] + [q] - switch to sling (same as [SHIFT] + [k])
[CTRL] + [q] - switch hands
[SHIFT] + [q] - drop item from main hand to the ground
Additional info:
-some hotkeys do not work in cheat mode
-only NIV
-only one-handed items supported
-stacked items currently not supported
-remembered item slot is lost when you reload game
3. A few small fixes for dynamic tooltips and other things
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@7130 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
Updates/Fixes (by Sevenfm)
1. Added grenade throwing range modifier to item_settings.ini:
RANGE_GRENADE_MODIFIER = 1.0
This modifier is applied to grenades and regular thrown items.
2. Changed 100 to bBreathMax in throwing range penalty calculation. This should make grenades more useful.
3. Minor visual fixes (alt healthbar placement, 'roof' text placement when SHOW_ENEMY_WEAPON is true )
4. Added xml tags for merge type <13>: you can use u.knife on tripwire roll to get 2 tripwires. Status of tripwire roll will be reduced by 2 points.
Also lookup table for merges is updated for xml editor to work correctly.
5. Added several new loadscreenhints.
6. Press 'y' in tactical for quick transformation of item in hand - useful for switching flashlights on and off.

- 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.

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
- increased background-based chance to steal to 50%, money/gold/solver will be preferred targets
- lowered exp stat gain for handling tripwire
- new background ability: disarm_trap alters effectivity at defusing bombs
- Fix: incorrectly deleted soldiers could still be counted as jamming/scanning
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@7058 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.

- 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.

- Campaign stats take spy actions and SAM sabotages into account
- spy encounters are not reproted if nothing of interest happened
- Fix: error in food system automatic canteen refill
- Fix: if min enemy group size is too high, the AI never replensishes garrisons, thereby severely dumbing down the game.
- Fix: enemy groups do not receive minimum size
- Fix: enemy groups sizes are cut down needlessly

- [CTRL] + [c] in tactical calls a dialogue for cover/trap display modes (by Sevenfm)

reverted length of loadscreenhints back to 190.
Longer texts cause crashes when a hint is displayed in a log, as VIDEO_OVERLAY_DESC can only handle up to length 200, just like the description in LOADSCREENHINT_STRUCT says.
git-svn-id: https://ja2svn.mooo.com/source/ja2/trunk/GameSource/ja2_v1.13/Build@6958 3b4a5df2-a311-0410-b5c6-a8a6f20db521
- Increased text limit for load screen hints from 190 to 254
o Hopefully this does not cause any problems when rendering on the loadscreens. Tests resulted in success
- Support for localization of LoadScreenHints.xml (*.LoadScreenHints.xml)
o Now the language specific xmls only have the <uiIndex> and <szName> attributes. All other attributes are in the LoadScreenHints.xml

- Added message when minor traits are unselectable due to all IMP available slots taken up by major traits
- Display message when pressing hotkey 'G' to toggle artificial merc light
- refactor hotkey weapon switching and make function available in OIV too

Map Editor Fixes/Improvements (by Buggler)
- Better UI feedback after last item deleted from item stack in editor item mode
- Improved editor room number increment code. 'Shift + LMB' when drawing room numbers will reuse same room number on next input
- externalized hardcoded button tooltip text in editor tile selection window

- Fix glitches in overhead map with cliffs.
Details:
- Overhead map never correctly show maps which contains cliff tiles. Some of glitches was incorrect placement for cliff shadows, not rendering complex multi tiles at edges, draw black line spots mostly close to map edges. All of this glitches also go to radar map during creation.
