--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// v1.6 // 8.30.2016 //
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Re-added registration and login timeouts. (thanks Ermac)

! Implement T4 array.
! Client install (complete config)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Began cleaning up the trader arrays @ trader.fos.
- Added some high tier energy weapons to array @ trader.fos.
- Added more high tier small guns to array @ trader.fos.
- Removed low tier things from array to hopefully reduce spam & increase inventory variety @ trader.fos.
- Disabled account registration & switching limit. It was impeding my testing anyways @ config.fos.
- Added power armor (2 variants) to Gun Runners! Good luck affording it @ trader.fos.
* Learned tons about slavery and companions.
* Trader inventory arrays sorting properly now (it's amazing what a comma here or a mistaken space there will do!)
* Attempted to add a fourth array for armor, failed to reference under levels. Investigating and moving T4 down to T3 for the meantime. (suspect array formatting / syntax problems)
* Finally squashed all array issues (no more server log reports for out of bound issues when trader inventory refreshes!!!)
! Implement that pesky tier 4 that I wanted.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Updated the trader update times to a more reasonable value @ trader_h.fos.
- Increased the overall caps available to each trader massively @ economy.fos.
- Throwing grenades to hex (while in hand) using the ~ works properly when grenade is in hand.
* Hex shooting & hex throwing scripts implemented but currently broken. I suspect there's more to it. Investigating... (removed scripts for now)
* Broke SF & GR traders by admin trading, stripping their inventory. Looking for way to update bags. (Turns out just needed a refresh)
* Armors and helments are available in traders now, rejoice ! (all fields modified confirmed working)
* Generating array errors (out of bounds) with a 1-3 minute refresh timer on traders. Investigating. (Feels related to a ridiculous under-debug timer)

! More / revised dungeons.
! New maps.
! New quests.
! More 3D stuffs
! Rework Caves

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Changed mine vein values to properly reflect gains & global capacities (also regens, and more than once) @ _globalvars.fos & prod_veins.fos.
- Added some tier 3 equipment to trader arrays (including ammo, armors, small guns, energy weapons, and big guns and why were helms not in either...) @ trader.fos.
- Added some highly experimental changes to the level lists to traders (mostly to encourage the previously unused arrays of BG3, EW3, and MISC3 to be used) in the SF & gun runner traders @ trader.fos.
- Adapted altruist to the new level caps by setting his checks to 297 & 300 respectively @ dialog_altruist.fos.
- Updated junk values to be more realistic @ _globalvars.fos.
* Examined trader levels and heirarchy, determined best course of action based on some limited abuse (thanks mistakes in mining veins!)
* Got the stacks and batches mixed up, instead farmed 4x roughly the amount per swing. (found the proper stuff in globlavars)
* Traders appear to be sporting low tier small gun weaponry in light of the array and trade level changes. Something's probably wrong...(or not)
* Calculated trader turn around time based on a 1:20 time scale, i.e., the fact that 3 mins = 1 hour in game, and therefore 72 mins = 1 day.
! Desert & Navy Armors to implement.
! Re-add skill book original uses.
! Turn based first aid.
! Traders to accept all item types. (possibly not)
! Multiple flare colors.
! Furniture & new vehicles.
