Changed commands:
menufont menu font
Sets the font for a specific menu. If menu is "", the currently
initialised menu is used. Example: menufont score mono
menumdl menu mdl anim rotspeed scale
Assumes the function of the previous chmenumdl. If menu is "", the
currently initialised menu is used. Specifies, which model to render
and how. If only menu is specified, no model is rendered.

The returned text is rendered on the right side of the screen.
Default for updateeditinfopanel is explainclosestentity which provides
detailed info about the closest entity.

Images are stored in packages/misc/igraph/*.png and loaded during game
start. Filenames consist of the image shorthand (mnemonic) and optional
frame times, separated by "_". Keep in mind, media file names may only
contain letters, digits and "_-.()".
All texts displayed in the game console are scanned for mnemonics prefixed
with ":". All found matches are replaced by the image.
The images are displayed as squares with width and height the same as the
regular font height. To create animations, put several square images side
by side into the file. For example, a 128x32 image is interpreted as four
frames. Frame duration is encoded in the filename, so, for example the file
"nop_1000_200_100.png" shows the first frame for 1000 milliseconds, the
second frame for 200 msec and the third (as the rest) for 100 msec.
Igraphs "1" to "9" are hardcoded and can be manually encoded in menu texts.
Use the new escape code "\i" plus the number of the image: "\i\1".."\i\9".
Other images can be used in menus as well, but the codes have to be fetched
by getigraph.
new commands:
updateigraphs
Checks for new files in packages/misc/igraph. Only necessary, if new
files are added during the game - for example, by mod package download.
getigraph <mnemonic>
Returns an encoded string to display an image outside the console, or
an empty string, if the mnemonic was not found.
new parameters:
igraphsize 80..300 (default 120)
scales the images (in percent)
igraphsizehardcoded 80..160 (default 106)
scales the hardcoded images "1".."9" (in percent)
igraphanimate 0..1 (default 1)
if 0, only the first frame of every image is displayed
igraphdefaultframetime 5..2000 (default 200)
used for images with multiple frames but no frame duration specified
in the filename

if 1, no new images will be shown in the console

- collect most sound infos in one table and use it to generate the menus
- no more sound category checks with ranges
- now only PAINx and FOOTSTEP* sounds use hardcoded index numbers
enumsounds <list of categories>
Lists sound index numbers and short descriptions for all sounds of one
or more categories. The argument should contain one or more of PAIN,
OWNPAIN, WEAPON, PICKUP, MOVEMENT, BULLET, OTHER, VOICECOM, TEAM,
PUBLIC, FFA, FLAGONLY. All sounds with at least one of the flags will
be listed. Flag names prefixed with "!" will exclude all matching
sound from the list.
Example: /echo (enumsounds "VOICECOM !PUBLIC") will list all voicecom
sounds that are for teams only.

While the mapmodel registry works fully automatically for all auto-
downloaded models, it does not check for manual changes to the filesystem.
To clear models from the list that have been deleted from the profile
directory and to add models that have been downloaded outside the game,
this new menu entry can be used.
mapmodelregistryclear deletes all loaded mapmodel attributes
loadallmapmodels checks the filesystem for mapmodels and loads them
(all trees below packages/models/mapmodels, in home, zips, mods, install)
Both together rebuild the whole mapmodel database.

In old versions of AC it was necessary to trick with heightfields to raise
a pickup entity. However, for quite some time now, pickups can be raised
by attribute.
This additional stage for convmap finds pickup entities where the
heightfield is most probably unnecessary. Fixing is manual work, though.
Updated those pickups on 16 maps.
Also fixed a playerstart on desert3
Restore the old persistidents system from AC 1.0, since it's working as
intended - if used properly.
As a reminder:
* aliases created by "const" and "tempalias" are never persistent
* aliases created or altered by "alias" or "=" become persistent, if
the persistidents flag is set during that operation
* persistidents if false during the execution of almost all config files
during game start - those files can create aliases with default values
which will not be persistent (until changed later while the flag is
set)
* before saved.cfg is executed, the flag is set and stays set all
throughout the game - which means, that all changes (from menus, for
example) will change the altered alias to "persistent"
* exceptions for map or model config files are unnecessary, since those
run restricted and can't create aliases anyway
* exceptions are necessary for "late run" config files like those in
config/opt/
The new command "persistidents" may be used to manually set or clear the
flag. It also returns the current state of the flag. If used in a config
file, the flag is restored to its original value when the file ends
execution.
In short: only late-run config files (meaning: run after saved.cfg was
restored) may need to manually set/reset the flag. Use const and tempalias
where appropriate and clear persistidents before creating an alias with a
not-to-save default value that may be changed and made persistent later.

convmap is a toolset to convert hundreds of maps mostly automatically
to map format 10. Old media paths from akimbo and from before AC 1.2 are
automatically converted to AC 1.2 and akimbo2 paths.
The additional editing scripts mostly help with further optimisation of
existing maps (mainly to reduce the number of clipped entities).
If convmap is loaded after mapeditscripts, one additional conversion
stage is unlocked.
Add some commands to support an entity TODO list. Entity errors during
map load are automatically added to the list. The list is saved and
restored with xmaps. A keybind (no default key assigned) to scroll
through TODO entities was added.
The list is indented as a means for automated map check scripts to
return a list of entities to fix.
cleartodoentities [index]
Clear list of TODO entities. The list is also deleted, when a new map
is loaded.
If an entity number is given as an argument, only entries for this
entity are cleared.
addtodoentity index comment
Add the entity #index to the TODO list. Add optional comment.
enumtodoentities
Returns a list of TODO entities. Returns entity index number and comment
for every entry.

If the assigned key is pressed, the mousewheel can be used to cycle
through player spawn points, sorted by groups CLA, RVSF and FFA.
No default key is assigned.
gotonextplayerstart can be used, to manually jump to the next spawn.
By adding a "requires"-attribute to the mapmodel config file, a mapmodel
can trigger the map editor to include another model and have it loaded
during map load. This can be used to create model modifications which
use ressources of another model. For example, a new model can provide a
different skin for an existing model - and that attribute will make sure,
that the required original model is also loaded.
This mechanism does not work, if the attribute is changed after the map
is finished, because the map editor has to copy the dependency into the
map config file. After adding the attribute, the map has to be written at
least once (the dependencies are checked during savemap).
The point of dependency-attributes is to make sure the custom original
model is also loaded from a package server. Mods of official models do not
need to use the attribute, because the official model does not need to be
downloaded. The attribute is necessary, if one model on akimbo depends on
another model on akimbo.
The mapmodels that are required by other models have an additional
parameter "1" added to their mapmodel command in the config file - which
will preload the model during map load, even if no entity actually uses it.
The additional parameter is handled automatically.
The new command updatemapmodeldependencies triggers the dependency check
manually - which will make required models appear in the model list. This
is done automatically during savemap.
Changed commands:
mapmodelslotusage
now returns a single space, if the model slot is not used by any
map entity, but is required by another model (with entities)
mapmodel
allows one more parameter - if "1", the model is preloaded, even if
no entities use it
mdlattribute requires <modelname>
if used, specifies that the current model depends on parts of another
custom model (which therefore also has to be downloaded)
can only be used once per model config
example:
mdlattribute requires makke/signs/exit
could be used in signs/loading-dock/md2.cfg to reuse
makke/signs/exit/tris.md2
