• DYNAMIC PIE MENUS:

	Tutorial:
		With this update it is now possible to alter pie menu in all kinds of ways dynamically.
		This is what happens when pie menu opens now:
			OnPieMenu(self) Lua-defined event handler is called for an actor who opened the pie menu, where self is the actor who opened the pie menu

			OnPieMenu(self) Lua-defined event handler is called for held item where self is the held item
			
			OnPieMenu(self) Lua-defined event handler is called for any MovableObject (in Actors, Items or Particles collections) on the scene which has ProvidesPieMenuContext = true where self is movable object itself
			
			OnPieMenu() Lua-defined event handler is called for current GAScripted activity. 

			OnPieMenu() Lua-defined event handler is called for all active global scripts.
			
			When handling OnPieMenuEvents you can access the actor which opened the pie menu via GameActivity.PieMenuActor, GlobalScript.PieMenuActor or MovableObject.PieMenuActor property depending on the object which caught the event
			
			When this event is called it is the only time to alter the contents of pie menu. Add, Remove or Alter items with the GameActivity functions designed for that.
			It is not safe to mess with any pie menu related stuff at any other time. All pie magic must be strictly contained inside OnPieMenu function.
			All changes made to pie menu slices during OnPieMenu are discarded the next time pie menu activates. Every time the pie menu it is good as new and all customizations must be redone.
			
			To add Activity or GlobalScript based pie menu slice you need:
			Define the slice itself in INI as usual, for example:
			
				AddGlobalScript = GlobalScript
					PresetName = Test Global Script
					Description = Test Global Script
					ScriptPath = Base.rte/Scripts/TestGlobalScript.lua
					LuaClassName = TestGlobalScript
					AddPieSlice = Slice
						Description = Global Script Slice
						Direction = 1
						Icon = Icon
							CopyOf = Grapple Gun Stop
						ScriptPath = Base.rte/Scripts/TestGlobalScript.lua
						FunctionName = TestGlobalScriptPieMenuAction
						
			
			Add an OnPieMenu event handler onto your Activity or GlobalScript code which will add the custom slice, for example:

				function TestGlobalScript:OnPieMenu()
					print (self.PieMenuActor)
				
					local activity = ActivityMan:GetActivity()
					local gameActivity = ToGameActivity(activity)
					if gameActivity then
						gameActivity:AddPieMenuSlice("Global Script Slice", "TestGlobalScriptPieMenuAction", Slice.RIGHT, true)
					end
				end
				
			
			Add the global function to handle the pie menu slice activation, as ususal, for example:

				function TestGlobalScriptPieMenuAction(actor)
					print (actor)
				end			
				
			Pretty much the same stuff for MovableObjects, except that the event signature is OnPieMenu(actor), where actor is an actor which opened the pie menu

• DYNAMIC BUY MENUS:

	Tutorial:
		With this update it is now possible to manipulate the contents of the buy menu in a dynamic fashion right from your activity or other script.
		You can prohibit specific items without messing with IsBuyable fields, but you can't allow to buy any stuff with IsBuyable = false.
		So, what's the new opportunities:
			Disable everything and allow only specific items. 
			This is managed via AllowedItems list. 
			For example, only allow to buy a Dummy blaster and a Dummy actor (self is current activity)
				
				local buyMenu = self:GetBuyGUI(0);
				buyMenu:AddAllowedItem("Dummy.rte/Dummy");
				buyMenu:AddAllowedItem("Dummy.rte/Blaster");

			Disable some specific items, while leaving everything else buyable.
			This is managed via ProhibitedItems list
			For example, prohibit Dreadnought from buying.
			
				buyMenu:AddProhibitedItem("Dummy.rte/Dreadnought");
			
			Keep an inventory of owned item, and buy these items free of charge if there's a stock of them.
			This is managed via OwnedItems list.
			For example, give a stock of 10 dummies and 10 blasters.
			
				buyMenu:SetOwnedItemsAmount("Dummy.rte/Blaster", 10);
				buyMenu:SetOwnedItemsAmount("Dummy.rte/Dummy", 10);
			
			You can disable any items which are out of stock.
				
				buyMenu.ShowOnlyOwnedItems = true;
			
			Make an item available even if it's out of stock.
			This is managed via AlwaysAllowedItems.
			For example enable Drop shop even if it's out of stock.
			
				buyMenu:AddAlwaysAllowedItem("Base.rte/Drop Ship MK1");
			
			The buy menu is initialized before you're able to enable or disable items and loads default load out in the cart.
			Because of this if you disable items you need to manually reset the cart contents and reload the default loadout,
			or you may end up with prohibited items in the cart.
			
				buyMenu:ClearCartList();
				buyMenu:LoadDefaultLoadoutToCart();
			
			Buy menu does not track the stock of available items while you manipulate it. So you may try to order items which currently out of stock.
			In this case out of stock items (unless they are whitelisted via AlwaysAllowedItems list) will not be delivered. And if a craft is out of
			stock and not whitelisted the delivery will be cancelled.

• PRESET ENUMERATION:

	Tutorial:
		It is now possible to enumerate the list of all data modules loaded and all of the presets they contain.
		For example, this prints all preset in all the modules:
		
			for m in PresetMan.Modules do
				print (m.FileName)
				for p in m.Presets do
					print (p.PresetName)
				end
			end

• Lua:

	Func RemoveAllowedItem(string presetName) // Removes an item from the list of allowed items. 
	Func ClearAllowedItems() // Clears the list of allowed items
	Func AddAlwaysAllowedItem(string presetName) // Adds an item to the list of always allowed items.
	Func RemoveAlwaysAllowedItem(string presetName) // Removes an item from the list of always allowed items.

	Func SetOwnedItemsAmount(std::string presetName, int amount) // Sets the amount of specified items to be owned in this buy menu
	Func GetOwnedItemsAmount(std::string presetName) // Returns the amount of specified items owned in this buy menu
	Prop ShowOnlyOwnedItems, r/w // If set to true only owned items in stock will be shown in buy menu. Overriden by AlwaysAllowed list.
	Func ForceRefresh() // Forces a refresh update of the list of buy menu items
	Func SetHeaderImage(string path) // Changes the header image to the one specified in path
	Func SetLogoImage(string path) // Changes the logo image to the one specified in path
