Changes:
* Fixed D3D device creation for systems without HW vertex processing
- The previous capabilities check didn't work as expected
* FollowTask only checks for targets when weapons are enabled
- This fixes Howitzers (and presumably Turrets) flailing around
* Tug shows cargo in its ammo gauge
* Adjusted the ordnance network-reduced matrix
- XZ: 14 bit range, 6 bit fraction (was 7)
- Y: 9 bit range (was 8), 6 bit fraction (was 7)
- V: 12 bit angle (was 11)
- This should fix ordnance disappearing on some maps
* WeaponMine checks for terrain and friendlies in the way
* Moved edge-path boundary check to AiMission
- SP: apply only to the player
- MP: apply to all craft and pilots
* Alt-Enter full screen switch works in the shell now
* Position window in the top left corner in full-screen mode
- This fixes some rendering problems with the shell

Again, can BZ2 have this please?

Someone in the last build thread said that mines weren't working. I haven't had a chance to test them yet but are they working again?

I haven't checked that. I'll try it.

Update: I placed a few mines in a single-player test map and they worked fine.

one problem I've had with mines is that they trigger each other too easy. when one mine explodes it will disable/destroy the others that are withing a few meters of radius.

As it should be. 'Real' mines will certainly detonate others if they are set in too close a proximity to one another.

Moral: don't place mines too close together.

true, its like 30m detonations range and you'll take dmg within around 80m so if you want it tank proof a few mines will have to be sacrificed

It seems to me that in SP mines work but in MP they don't.

Hmm. Do they not go off at all or do they not do any damage?
