Modding - Scripting (compatibility issues)
Game modes (Story/GM/Arena) are now compatible. Mods can safely load both GM and Story data without causing issues such as disabled characters in a new Story game. All story goals are now parented under a respective Story/GM/Arena goal (DOS2ModWrapper/GMModWrapper/ArenaModWrapper). Existing mods will still work, but to make your mod compatible between game modes, make sure to parent any modded goals under the newly added root goals (DOS2ModWrapper/GMModWrapper/ArenaModWrapper).
Added new GetStatusTurns query to story and script: returns the lifetime in turns of a given status on an object.
Added new GetSurfaceSize query to story and script: returns the surface size in tiles of a surface at a given position.
Added new ItemGetTeleportTarget query in script: returns the teleport target of the teleport action of an item (if it has one).
Added new GlobalShareFlag call in story: allows you to share an individual flag (sets a global flag without throwing the GlobalEventSet event)
