Mounted Guns and Player Tanks[message #358834]

Some tinkering with the vehicle code. Since the tag "MountedGun" was already present in the code (with some description left by original coders of drivable vehicles) I guess such feature was supposed to be put into the game at some point.

What this does:
- adds a MountedGun tag that can be used in Vehicles.xml to assign a weapon to vehicle seat
- the ID number in Items.xml is used to determine the weapon
- a merc placed in this seat will use the assigned weapon instead of his own gun
- merc's marksmanship is used to determine hit chance but the act of firing itself is done by the vehicle, so in order to properly fire a weapon the vehicle must have a firing animation defined (in the demo video a tank is used)
- one vehicle can have multiple guns mounted (up to the number of seats)
- I also applied a little hack to prevent tanks from "sliding" by restricting their movement to 4 directions and swapping chasis gfx depending on the direction of movement

Restrictions:
- ammo on vehicle guns is infinite due the way vehicle guns are spawned, this can be OP

Don't know if this would be useful to anyone or does it give the player too much advantage to be considered implementing. Anyways here is the link to the demo:
