Superweapons' IsPowered=false tag isn't working properly

[Graion Dilach]

IsPowered=false will only work if you already had power but you've lost it.

But if the building which the SW is attached to built without power, the superweapon doesn't start charging, until you get enough power.

##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE #####
Get a Superweapon with IsPowered=false and attach to a building.
Build the building without power (it's enough that you lose power with that same building)
Timer won't start

This is a fairly easy one to confirm.

Just go into stock RA2/Yuris, play as America. Go into low power, build your Airforce Command. Paradrop will be paused until power is restored.

Hmmm, I followed EVA's way:

I could confirm the issue with this method as well.

Tested EVA's method. There's definitely something wrong with the IsPowered tag.

Fixed issue #1340: Once build, IsPowered=no super weapons will start charging even if the player is in a low power situation.

Revision comment:
Related to issue #637: Fixed enum parsing. The latest change to that caused havoc by using only the first value.
Fixed issue #1346: Chronosphere.BlowUnplaceable added to spare buildings from destruction.

Other changes:
The Chronosphere used a logical operator where a bitwise operator should have been used. This caused the Chronosphere to always affect buildings. This has been fixed.

New binary. Documentation updated.

I used EVA's method again.
But this time, the Paradrop charges even without power.

The IsPowered tag is working properly now.

[Graion Dilach (graiondilach)]

Another confirmation. This works correctly.

[YR M0ddEr (yr-m0dder)]

Tested and works.

This can be closed.

Thanks, guys! Closed.
