Bug Description

Would it be possible to have a feature to allow the creation of additional armor types? You could, for example, have a list:

[ArmorTypes]
1=none
2=flak
3=plate
4=light
5=medium
6=heavy
7=wood
8=steel
9=concrete
10=special1
11=special2
; this is where the fun starts...
12=ExampleNewArmor1
13=ExampleNewArmor2
14=...
etc

Now, on a warhead, the percentages listed in the "Verses" flag would be applied to the different warheads by checking their numbers on the list. For example:

[ExampleWarhead]
...
Verses=100%,90%,80%,100%,150%,120%,40%,30%,20%,100%,200%,175%,20%
...

The last two percentages in the "Verses" list on the warhead would be applied to the armors listed as 12 and 13 in the ArmorTypes list...

That'd be cool!

Whoops! "none" should of course be item number 0 on the list, to keep it all ordered...

Implemented as this:

[ArmorTypes]
;No need to redeclare the original types.
NewType = default_armor_type_to_take_verses_from

[Warhead]
Versus.NewType = float
;protip - Versus.OriginalType also works and overrides what is set in the old Verses value. Going to remove the original Verses parser too, since it causes IEs with wrong count of values.

Re-opened as per
291 is screwey and needs fixing, it has an odd problem with the versus (does not read, discards or forgets anything after the decimal point when calculating the damage to deal -i.e not allowing use of the weapon when the verses values say it'd deal 0.51 damage, which should be rounded up to 1)

Closing these issues - implemented a fair while ago, tested during implementation. If any bugs do crop up, be sure to thank the lazy testers for doing their job so well.
