Bugfixes:
- Fix: Watched Locations system (never worked in 1.13)

- 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

Optional AI improvements:
AI_EXTRA_SUPPRESSION
- AI will use suppression fire more often in RED state (set minimum AI CTH to 1)

Modified the Ranger trait to make it more useful after loosing all survival bonuses:
- aim click bonus for shotguns is now again 1 (hunter) or 2 (ranger)
- new aim click bonus for rifles that is half the shotgun bonus. With the default value of "1" this means 0 for hunter and 1 for ranger. This does NOT stack with the sniper bonus! It's one or the other depending on which is higher.
- new speed bonus to reloading single shells into shotguns
- new range bonus for shotguns of 10% (hunter) or 20% (ranger)
EDB now displays the trait modified values for:
- Gun Range
- Draw Cost

New option in CTHConstants.ini:
IRON_SIGHTS_MAX_APERTURE_USE_GRADIENT = FALSE/TRUE
When activated it will make iron sights more powerful over longer distances. This is an experimental switch. The formula might need to be tweaked.

Fixes (by anv)
- fix: comparison feature would sometimes show comparison with empty sector inventory slots,
- fix: enemy taunts aimed at NOBODY could cause out of range,
- fix: list of boxers fought per day is properly reset when fight club reopens,
- fix: Van Haussen won't offer a fight or accept bets if all boxers are dead (even if our mercs stand on corpses),
- fix: boxing opponents won't try to call reinforcements any more.

- Flagmasks are unsigned, and should be called and treated as such
- Fix: experience gain from interrogation was too high
- 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
- Fix: distributing newly taken prisoners in a prison sector no longer redistributes all prisoners, only the new ones
- 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
- Fix: campaign history rarely recorded kills in autoresolve
- There is no reason why the IDs that boxers are reset to before they are reinitialised would ever need to be altered by a modder. Required script change in stable GameDir r2024.

Custom sounds for non-guns (by anv)
- knives, throwing knives, blunt weapons can use attack sounds specified with <sSound> tag - previously their sound was chosen depending on animation used and hardcoded - it should open space for exotic weapons like chainsaws, lawn mowers, jackhammers, etc. If <sSound> is left unspecified, default hardcoded sound will be used normally.
- knives, throwing knives, blunt weapons, launchers on attack can cause noise specified with <ubAttackVolume>, previously it was ignored for anything but guns,
- small fix for knife/wire cutters combo where using it on empty grid would cause deadlock during battle.

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.

More visual enemy gear info (by Sevenfm)
- Show additional info in NCTH cursor (press ALT) (ADDITIONAL_NCTH_CURSOR_INFO = 2)
-> You can only use this feature at certain distance
- Updated 'show enemy weapon' feature (SHOW_ENEMY_WEAPON = TRUE, SHOW_ENEMY_EXTENDED_INFO = TRUE)
- Now it can show armour and face items, too. Useful for OCTH users (SHOW_ENEMY_AWARENESS = TRUE)
- Show total value of damage, absorbed by armour in last attack (SHOW_HIT_INFO = TRUE)

Enabled auto-taking for concertina/sandbags (by Sevenfm)
- items are taken from current merc's inventory
- works only in realtime
- when filling sandbags, filled sandbag is dropped, and new empty is taken from inventory
- you need to press [shift] while clicking with hammer for this feature to be activated
Autofire bullets (by Sevenfm)
Set default number of autofire bullets:
0 = Max bullets allowed with max aiming
1..10 = Set default number of bullets
1. For MPs and SMGs
SET_DEFAULT_AUTOFIRE_BULLETS_SMG = 1
2. For ARs, Rifles and Shotguns
SET_DEFAULT_AUTOFIRE_BULLETS_AR = 1
3. For MGs
SET_DEFAULT_AUTOFIRE_BULLETS_MG = 1

The assumed target area was much to small for the calculated aperture so AI got abysmal CTH values all of the time and wouldn't use guns from far away because of that.

- 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.

- Weapons.xml tags <bRecoilX> and <bRecoilY> are now FLOAT type values. This allows to differentiate weapons by smaller steps.
- Items.xml tags <RecoilModifierX> and <RecoilModifierY> are now FLOAT types as well.
- 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.

1) Fixed small bug when MAPELEMENT_PLAYER_MINE_PRESENT was set after planting explosives with remote detonator.
2) Arming bomb with only remote defuse attached is not allowed.
3) Showing item locator before "add blueflag" messagebox is disabled for our mines as it was annoying and you anyway know that it is here.
4) Total weight for throwing range is calculated for all items (previously it was calculated only for grenades).
5) Grenade-throwing formula and demolitions bonus applied only for hand-thrown grenades (check for TOSSCURS). Previously it was applied for launched grenades too.
6) Changed grenade throwing range formula from
