MISTEST 5.6...
Big update this time, focused on the actions/events inside triggers.
Previous versions had broken many of the errors into their own custom messages but had otherwise identical conditions, so they have been merged into common tests with generic errors to simplify things.
The high Trigger actions that aren't available in RA2 are now all tested, with one of these requiring changes to the rules.ini parser to record Superweapons and should now be feature-complete for YR. Additionally, the reserved player house IDs for multiplayer maps in YR are now handled correctly.
With the completed YR support, the strictra2 flag in the .tcl applies more thoroughly, although I realize this is a non-issue for most modders.
Some other small changes include adding coordinates to "X not defined" error messages to be consistent with other errors for the same objects.
And that's it.
