(The second one is for the "hybrid" behavior, showing how many aiming levels are for alternative holding.

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Alternative Weapon Holding settings
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

; This feature allows us to fire weapons in a different way: we can fire rifles (meaning any two handed guns) from hip, and
; pistols (meaning any one-handed guns) holding in hand (making standard pistol holding be with two hands).
; The benefit of such holding is speed (reduced AP cost to ready, faster target acquiring), the drawback is limited accuracy and
; no use of scopes.
; Here is the basic switch of the feature, it also controls how the feature behaves in game - the setting can go from 0-3, and
; here is explanation of each:
; 0 - Turned off entirely.
; 1 - The alternative holding will be used only if you use NO aim clicks on a shots and you don't have your weapon raised up yet.
; 2 - This behaviour allows several aim levels to be treated as "alternative weapon holding", based on total aiming levels
; allowed for the gun. The number of alternative aim levels is always lesser than standard aim levels, and they are displayed
; as YELLOW dots under NCTH. If you do not have your gun raised yet (rifle to shoulder, pistol with two hands), you may fire
; from the alternative holding by simply aiming within the yellow aim levels limit (usually 33-66% of standard aim levels).
; If you use at least one aim click above the indicated alternative levels, your merc will automatically raise the weapon to
; the standard holding before the shot.
; 3 - "Scope Mode" behaviour (default). This simply makes the alternative mode a "scope" mode. To fire rifle from hip or pistol
; one-handed, just press '.' key to cycle to the apropriate mode (currently indicated by an "eye" symbol). No matter if you
; have your rifle shouldered/pistol held two-handed, you will use the alternative mod anytime you select this mode. With this
; setting, if you use the 'L' to raise your weapon, then it will be raised to a stance based on the scope mode selected.
; Of course, Scope Modes has to be allowed for this to work (they are as default).
; Note that by now, this feature is only available in standing position (hopefully, in the future, I'll be able to finish
; animations for crouched stance). Also, by now it is unavailable for pistols when standing in water.
; Last thing to mention: There is a new flag in Weapons.xml - "Heavygun" which says that weapon cannot be shouldered in standing
; position at all, and must be fired from hip then. It is only used for two-handed guns, supposedly for a rather too heavy LMGs.
;
ALLOW_ALTERNATIVE_WEAPON_HOLDING = 3

; This says how many APs are charged to raise the weapon to alternative holdng (rifles to hip, pistols with one hand), based on
; standard weapon ready APs. Setting 25 here means 25% of the APs are charged to raise weapon to hip/one-handed, so a weapon with
; 12 APs to ready would charge 3 APs to raise to hip/one-handed. Default is 25% by now.
; (Note that this is also AP cost to go from shoulder to hip / from two-handed to one-handed grip.)
;
RAISE_TO_ALTWEAPHOLD_READY_APS_PERC = 25

; This determines how many APs from regular weapon ready APs are charged when going from alternative holding to standard holding.
; This settings with the above one should put 100% together, as the alternative holding is supposed to be something like
; semi-raised gun (quarter-raised by now actullay).
; This will not affect standard cost for raising weapons (when gun is lowered and we choose to raise it fully).
;
RAISE_FROM_ALTWEAPHOLD_READY_APS_PERCENTAGE = 75

; This makes the shots from alternative holding to cost less APs to make up for not being able to aim and use scopes. 10 here
; means -10% APs to shoot from hip / one-handed grip.
;
FASTER_SHOT_FROM_ALTWEAPHOLD_PERC = 10

; The base (N)CtH penalty when firing from alternative weapon holding.
CTH_PENALTY_FROM_ALTWEAPHOLD = 30

; The base penalty when aiming from alternative weapon holding, if aiming from it is allowed. (This modifier is DOUBLED under NCTH,
since its calculation is different, and it balances the reduction of aiming levels.)
AIMING_PENALY_FROM_ALTWEAPHOLD = 30

; Aiming levels of the gun are reduced percentually by this number on alternative weapon holding. So 50 here means only half aiming
; levels will be available when using alternative holding (keep in mind that is a positive thing in NCTH).
AIMING_LEVELS_REDUCTION_ON_ALTWEAPHOLD = 50;

(Note: the points here are not the final merc energy points (0-100), but points divided by "BP_RATIO_RED_PTS_TO_NORMAL" (default 100). I.e. the 100 of these = 1 merc energy point loss.)

// ::: Gun weight effect overview :::
// << a merc with 85 strength shouldering a gun while standing... >>
// 1) a gun weighting 3 kilos (lightweight ARs), generates cca 25 points = 1 BP per AP = 100 BPs per full turn = pretty much nothing
// 2) a gun weighting 5 kilos (ARs with some attachments), generates cca 71 points = 3 BPs per AP = 300 BPs per full turn = still ok, similar to climb down a roof once
// 3) a gun weighting 8 kilos (heavier ARs with lots of attachments), generates cca 183 points = 7 BPs per AP = 700 BPs per full turn = you can handle it, its just like climb roof up and then down once
// 4) a gun weighting 11 kilos (some LMGs), generates cca 346 points = 13 BPs per AP = 1300 BPs per full turn = starts to feel rather heavy soon
// 5) s gun weighting 15 kilos (you trying to shoulder Barrett? While standing?), generates cca 643 points = 26 BPs per AP = 2600 BPs per turn = uhh

// after testing, a gun weighting 12 kilos, shouldered in standing position, with 85 strength, together with recoil kick (small one on this one though)...
// took 5-6 whole turns to totaly exhaust the merc, if one turn is equal 20-30 seconds, then it is 2-3 minutes... I think that's reasonable


// ::: Gun recoil kick effect overview :::
// << a merc with 85 strength, normal weapon holding, standing position... >>
// 1) Glock 17 generates cca 16 points per shot
// 2) Colt M4 (with some attachemnts) generates cca 22 points
// 3) .50 Beowulf (with some attachments) generates cca 36 points
// 4) OSV-96 generates cca 103 points

// Even the OSV does not prove too much pain for one shot, since 100 is just one point of energy. Still, if you fire more bullets like that, the effect may become significant.
