In order to improve the feasibility of attacks from the waterside (and to fulfill a certain bargain), you can now use scuba gear on your mercs.

Scuba gear consists of three items:

a scuba mask (item 1629) that is worn in one of your face slots
a diving bottle (item 1630) that is worn like a ~~LBE vest~~ combat pack
and scuba fins (optional, but recommended) that are worn like armour pants

If you wear the first two items and are in deep water (the swimming animation is shown), you will now see a small animation over your mercs head:

This indicates that your merc is underwater and cannot be seen by the enemy. Thus the enemy wont react to your merc, until he gets to lower water, where he will be seen. However, if your merc is seen in low water, retreating to deeper water will NOT make the enemy forget you, so no exploit there.

I strongly recommend using the scuba fins, as they reduce the AP/BP cost for swimming by half. However, on land they double the movement cost, so don't forget to remove them on land.

Why the crude fish symbol and no proper animation? I don't do animations, period. If you want one, make one :armsfolded: :innocent:

Same goes for item pictures, they are placeholder pictures at the moment... altough I should get proper ones very soon...

This is in r5718 and higher and requires GameDir r1572 or higher.

As this adds 3 new item flags, here's what we currently have in that regard:

#define EMPTY_SANDBAG			0x00000001	//1
#define FULL_SANDBAG			0x00000002	//2
#define SHOVEL				0x00000004	//4			// a shovel is used for filling sandbags and other building-related tasks
#define CONCERTINA			0x00000008	//8

#define WATER_DRUM			0x00000010	//16		// water drums allow to refill canteens in the sector they are in
#define MEAT_BLOODCAT			0x00000020	//32		// retrieve this by gutting a bloodcat
#define COW_MEAT   			0x00000040	//64		// retrieve this by gutting a cow

#define CORPSE				0x00008000	//32768		// a dead body

#define SKIN_BLOODCAT			0x00010000	//65536		// retrieve this by skinning (=decapitating) a bloodcat
#define NO_METAL_DETECTION              0x00020000	//131072	// a planted bomb with this flag can NOT be detected via metal detector. Use sparingly!
