o Take a look in the comment header for the "Language Defines.h" file for further informations
o Enable PDF for Release builds, so crash dump is more effective (of course if we release a version we also have to release the PDB file)

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.

Now a more controversial change and perhaps unrelated now since its not in NCTH code. In line with my comment above I tried to make soldiers more likely to make a partial move toward the target if the chance to hit is really, really low and out of effective gun range but still reserving enough AP to make a partial shot. I also allowed this on Cunning soldiers instead of just aggressives figuring that target is in sight they are more likely to fight.
This with the other change has at least made them more aggressive and less likely to run in circles when armed with pistols and has actually made them quite a threat again. Not crazy about the implementation since I'd like a more accurate range check and AP calculation since AP to fire will change after movement. I figure the increased CTH by getting closer will counteract the cost to move.

****************************************************************************
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 !!!

- Fixed: NPC and PC movement errors
- Fixed: Boxers in San Mona do not leave the boxing ring after the fight
- Fixed: Darren does not pay the cash after you won the boxing fight

* hopefull disable of grenades
* added a LOS check from your mercs to a door to see if it should be animated or not.
* looked into the "ENEMY_ENABLED" issue, it is not double defined, the one in network.h is part of a struct and not connected. made some changes to do tests for ==0 or ==1 rather than boolean. but i believe there must be some misunderstanding possibly. ENEMY_ENABLED only enables or disables the enemy AI, And only when coop is enabled... when its not there is no ai whatsoever, but you can still get into deathmatch battle under the various ini settings.
enjoy, the bullets are finishing themselves off much better now ! :)

Fixed insurance emails repeating when you choose "delete" but then say no

Path AI fixes
Fixed issues with non-interruptable animations causing infinite clock
Fixed some issues with soldiers not reaching their plotted destination

Prevent merc in slot 0 from disappearing due to errant schedule. Still need to find and fix schedule though
Prevent attempts to turn or climb roof when soldier collapsed
Fix problems when mortar or RPG randomly assigned to a soldier but cannot be added for whatever reason
Pathing favors beginning path on orthogonal and using as few turns as possible (mostly old behavior).
Prevent interruptions when soldier climbs up, which can cause fall into building just below the target roof position
Fix pauses due to soldiers hurt in previous turn
Fix soldier path not reaching destination when thrown by explosion damage or heavy gunfire

Made direction variables more consistent as unsigned chars. Several function prototypes updated for this.
Many memory leaks plugged: External options, video overlays, laptop file lists, tactical message queue, strategic pathing, autobandage, merc hiring, detailed placements, crate in Drassen, tactical placement

Prevent mercs from falling and flying back through obstacles
Check whether battle group is even set before testing its location for battle setup
Burst spread locations now limited to 6, the limit within the soldier struct

Throwing a grenade at the tail of the plane in Drassen should not result in a CTD
Reset attack busy count when loading a new sector
