1.5.50

## 1.5.50


### Additions
- New location type - military administration, proxy location type for military prisons, uses static location chance to appear in the run
- Smoke and illumination flare barrage supports, used by enemies on defend radio station encounter and occassionally in other situations
- Additional reinforced helipad composition variant for each side


### Changes
- Enemy radiomen now carry rifles with UGLs and, at nights, they will fire red flares in the sky approximately at escapees position on support call
- Enemy groups with radiomen that may call for support will evalutate threats to make support call decision instead of simple damage evaluation check (more support call situations, more performant solution)
- General helicopter strike support improvements - more accurate salvos, helicopter follows it's target while firing, some minor improvements to movement code, better and more efficient target search algorhitms with threat scoring (armed vehicles get more priority than infantry etc), slight changes to Mi-8 and UH-1 gunship helistrike parameters
- GRAD-like reactive artillery barrage tweaks - reduced initial delay from 16->12 seconds, time between salvos [0.75, 2] -> [0.45, 1.25] range, added incendiary effect on rocket direct hit, changed warhead fragmentation and explosive charge parameters to be a bit more lethal and terrifying
- MLRS-like reactive artillery barrage tweaks - reduced initial delay from 16->12 seconds, time between salvos [4, 6] -> [2, 4], total number of shells [4, 6] -> [6, 12], added incendiary effect on rocket direct hit, changed warhead fragmentation and explosive charge parameters to be a bit more lethal and terrifying
- Soldiers has more bandages in their loadouts
- Location marker should be more noticeable on a map UI
- Location state manager - centralized system for location run-persistent storages (items, characters, vehicles, crates), state flushes after 15-20 minutes after last location spawn, less memory footprint on server in prolonged games
- Unpossessed (characters from disconnected players) character entities will be put into pending-to-removed character pool and will be removed after 5 minutes reconnection grace period to reduce issues with them affecting various gameplay systems
- Fixed dedicated server attempt to find defend radio task timer display despite not having UI at all
- Fixed missing items in crates on multiple location respawn cycles due to nonpersistent container ID
- Fixed some logic errors that led to missing items, vehicles and characters on multiple location respawn cycles
- Fixed mysteriously disappeared "Load Casualty into Vehicle" action on unconscious escapist
- Fixed ability to teleport character via ArmaVision
- Fixed silent support calls option for Game Master spawned supports
- Fixed missing gunners on some static weapons on some location types due to wrong location components initialization order
- Fixed inability to spawn soldiers on top of LightTower_01's due to different entity class than SCR_DestructibleBuildingEntity
- Fixed bug when sometimes supports couldn't be picked and executed due to logical error support picking algorhitm
- Optimized location nearest populated buildings search - removed unneccessary array copy, AABB query instead of spherical, world query now searches only for static objects instead of all of them, reduces possible stutter on location spawn
- Heavily refactored withstand display logic in an attempt to fix some of the withstand display issues (still no idea what causes inconsistent behaviour), probably a bit better performance due to more compute-easy native engine epinephrine in inventory check
- APCs can no longer spawn on ambient vehicle spawn points
- Helipads may have additional squad and patrol vehicle to defend the area to pose more challenge as final fight
- More frequent ambient event coin flip frequency for default setting, 1 check per 48 -> 42 seconds
- Improved field hospital compositions
- Tweaked escapists character medicine across all survivavibility types to make it more suitable for the pacing of Escapists - default (1350->850 seconds to fully regenerate blood, 0.33->0.3 blood level to become conscious, 1.25 regeneration rate), slightly increased (650 seconds to fully regenerate blood, 0.275 blood level to become conscious, 1.5 regeneration rate), moderately increased (450 seconds to fully regenerate blood, 0.25 blood level to become conscious, 1.75 regeneration rate)
- First aid cabinets in static locations no longer contain predefined items and are handled as other static containers, slightly easens server's burden since they're no longer spawned everywhere even for locations that players  will not visit during the run
- Airfield bunker start type has proper light source, small compositions changes
- Increased GC stay time for bodies (600->900 seconds) and weapons (450-600 seconds)
- Added epinephrine damage effect to Escapist character allowed damage effects (not sure what and how it affects but seems to be it should be there)
- Tweaked lose conditions evaluation
- Moved support announcement from hardcoded values to configuration file, now it's possible to override such config and support announcements for custom enemy support actions 
- Disabled excessive trace logging for QRF Vehicle support and Vehicle Patrol ambient event
- Disabled ability to move and remove helicopter from helicrash start type via GameMaster
- Disabled start prison destruction to prevent default fallback spawnpoints from being unavailable thus softlocking abandoned JIP games

1.5.30

- Defend Radio Task UI presentation refactoring (potential stability improvements)
