#11137 Throwing axes and throwing hammers should add strength bonus to damage when ranged

1. Start a new game with the Abdel pregenerated character
2. CLUA in a throwing axe (ax1h04) and "The Brick" (ohnhamm1)

Observed
Damage from high strength isn't applied when weapon is selected as thrown

Expected
Like slings and daggers, which currently do receive the bonus, thrown axes and hammers should have strength bonuses applied

Notes
You can observe the problem with the Dwarven Thrower as well, if you test with a dwarf. or with any of the magical returning axes.

    Checked in near infinity and yes throwing axe (ax1h04) and "The Brick" (ohnhamm1) don't have flag strength bonus. But +2 throwing axe have so maybe it's not a bug. BTW dwarven thrower have str bonus when melee

    To be precise, it seems that the AX1H06 version of the Throwing Axe +2 is the only thrown axe that does get strength bonus. the AX1H05 version of the Throwing Axe +2 and every other thrown axe do not. Neither do the thrown hammers.

    Let's wait for @Gate70‌ he will "clear" this up for us.

    Thx Thrasymachus/Maxxximus + YOU here Timebomb to have pointed me on that again.. now i'm sure too so.. nice to know the expected behaviour once for all now.. at least... (and of course, as they alxways say here.. 'will be fixed in .. 'the next patch' so!!..) .. well, at least we can correct that manually for ourselves now... even if another pain in the a**.. but well, possible at least now.. that's legit so! yes! great) :*) ;)

    Just a note for anyone who finds this: The fix that Maxxximus uploaded uses an incorrect flag. This incorrect flag causes an erroneous strength bonus to thac0 as well as to damage for all the items that have it. I have made a fix with the correct flag that only gives a strength bonus to damage. My fix is attached here.

    I made a simple error when making my earlier fix and it didn't work. This one is guaranteed to work.
