Hey all!

Tactical Battle 1.12 dev 6 is here. This release focuses on items and equipment.

Though there is still more to flush out on items and equipment the current functionality is plenty for people to get started with and already adds a lot to the game.

I've included a demonstration map pack with a single map. See if you can beat it, and then have a look at the files to see how you can use items and equipment in your map packs.

Here's the change list for dev 6:
31 Added the ability to create custom items that can be used like skills or equipped to enhance your character and skills.
32 Added the ability to place items in the map editor using the I key.
33 Items are announced when your review cursor moves to a tile that has them and you can press F5 to get a list of the items.
34 Added the equip_slots= flag to Units.
35 Added the ability for items to affect a specific skill when equipped by specifying a skill prefix in front of _range_mod= and _chance_mod= flags as well as any point modifying flags.
36 Added the take_item flag to skills for defining a skill that takes items.
37 Added the useable_once and useable_forever flags to items to define how they should be consumed.
38 Added a manage_equipment flag for skills.
39 Created menus for equipping and unequipping items.
40 Added a ranged flag to items that indicate that range modifiers should affect the unit who equips the item. Ordinarily the range modifiers are only applied if the unit's base range on a skill is more than 1.
41 Added the replace_skill_sound= flag for items.
42 Included Craig Brett's scripts and documentation. Most notably he's included a script for charming / controlling / capturing enemy units.
43 Stopped the current tile from announcing right after you use a skill.
44 Moved the map packs into a sub menu of the main menu and removed the word "Play" from the beginning of each map pack name and each map name to facilitate better first letter navigation.

Note that you can use tab and shift + tab to cycle through the equipment slots once in the menu to choose which item to equip or unequip.
