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?

[Ultraken]

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.

[Ultraken]

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

[Fulmen]

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

[Ultraken]

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