Made sticks stack in invenstory, because if sticks don't stack, that facked. They just break randomly if you use them as weapons in the scripts now. Complete list of fixes:

-Added new script boolean, "if_objCount", to test number of objects on current map.
-Getting caught damaging property (crates, doors) now only decreases respect by 5% with each hit.
-Sticks now have 0 HE so they can stack in inventory (10% chance of breaking when used as weapon).
-Poisoning weapons with higher Education skill now gives more poison charges.
-Fixed weapon hit scripts so that default object is now the weapon object.
-Fixed bug when destroying barrels (original sprite wouldn't disappear).
-Player can no longer start a conversation during combat.
-Added items: smoking pipe, fishing rod, gear (mechanical).
