enlargearchslopeselections
If the variable is set to 1, after placing an arch or a slope, the
selection is enlarged, so that the arch or slope can be changed by
vdelta increments (for example, to raise an arch in 1/4 cube increments).
This is also the classic behaviour.
If the variable is set to 0 (which is now default), the selection remains
unchanged. This way, for example, the arch can be raised or lowered by
regular cube increments.
The arch menu allows changing the setting and also contains a script to
enlarge the selections once.
pushselections
New script to store the positions of all current selections. Can be used
repeatedly. To restore the selections, type "popselections".
enlargevdeltaselections
Enlarges all selections by one cube in x- and y- direction, to change a
selection from the "cube area" to the "vdelta area".
If an argument is given, it is used as increment value, so, for example
"enlargevdeltaselections -1" undoes a previous enlargement.

The arch menu now allows
* editing all vertices instead of only half of them, for non-symmetrical
arches
* deleting saved custom arches
* using custom arches for other widths than what they were created for
* measuring an arch on a map and creating a prefab of it
Scripts:
av_measure
"echo (av_measure)" prints the list of vdelta values of a selected arch.
Only works as expected, if the selection is only 1 cube wide. To use the
measurements to create a width 8 arch, select 8x1 cubes under the arch
to copy and type "av 8 (av_measure)". Or use the menu.
av width-1 vdelta_list
One of the oldest scripts of the game (and because of that, the first
argument stayed "arch width minus one", for compatibility reasons).
Creates a prefab arch of the desired width. If the list has exactly
as many entries as required, all of them are used to create the prefab -
this is the way the script has always worked.
If there are too few or too many elements in the list, the script will
try to take half the required values from the list and mirror the other
half to create a symmetrical arch. This way, a list can be used for
slightly wider or narrower archs. Or use the menu.
The menu lists all prefab arches and allows to edit them with sliders.
Arches can be saved and restored.
"archvertex" now returns the old value of the vertex, and if the vertex
argument is omitted, doesn't change it.
enumalias prefix
Lists all persistent aliases that start with prefix. Returns a table
with two entries per alias: 1) full name and 2) name without prefix
DOCREF archvertex enumalias
The mapper has now the choice to disable several graphics features on
the client (for his map only, of course). The overrides are stored in
the map header.
mapoverride_nowaterreflect
If "1", water reflection is disabled. Useful, when odd water colours
are used to emulate other liquids that are not supposed to be that
reflective.
mapoverride_limitwaveheight
If "1", waveheight is capped at 0.1 max. Useful for small water
areas (like puddles), where higher waves would look weird.
mapoverride_nostencilshadows
If "1", stencil shadows are disabled. On clients, where stencil shadows
are otherwise enabled, blob shadows are used instead. If shadows are
disabled anyway, they stay disabled. Useful for dim maps, where hard
shadows make no sense.
The player is free to ignore any of those overrides:
ignoreoverride_nowaterreflect
If "1", mapoverride_nowaterreflect is ignored and regular client
settings are used.
ignoreoverride_limitwaveheight
If "1", mapoverride_limitwaveheight is ignored, and "waveheight" is
used unchanged.
ignoreoverride_nostencilshadows
If "1", mapoverride_nostencilshadows is ignored.

also: more stuff in the map settings menu
getmaptimestamp fmt
Returns the "last written" timestamp of the current map in the requested
format. If fmt starts with "U", the time is given as UTC, otherwise
as local time. If fmt is empty, or not given or just the "U", the format
defaults to "YYYYMMDD_hh.mm.ss". Use "%c" to get something nicer.

same as looplist, but it automatically counts the loops in "i", starting
with 0.
Example:

u x 0

...including the option to sort the most visible textures to the default
slots for special uses (wall, floor, ceiling).
Also: add the information about default texture slots to the menus. Some
mappers may not know, yet.
Also: add a "Pick texture name" option to the edit texture slot menu.
The command sorttextureslots now allows to manually sort the first few
slots by adding the slot number to move to the slots #1, #2, #3...
DOCREF sorttextureslots
The command textureslotusagelist now returns two values per slot: usage
and visibility. If given the argument "onlymostvisible", instead of the
regular list, a list of only the most used wall, floor, ceiling and upper
wall textures (alternating with the keywords) is returned.
Example:
echo (textureslotusagelist onlymostvisible)
--> wall 211 floor 45 ceiling 0 "upper wall" 79
DOCREF textureslotusagelist
* removed convertcase
use toupper (concat A B C D ....) instead
* moved several COMMAND macros to their function bodies
* cleaned up screenshot extension handling
* prefix screenshot argument with "screenshot/" and add correct extension
Allows to reset notexture, to set a high-contrast color to find and
fix the areas and to set to a useful default texture.
As useful textures, in addition to rock.jpg and concrete.jpg, the menu
lists the default wall, floor and ceiling textures of the current map,
and also the last watched texture from the texture menu.
Also adds a few checks to detect unconverted map config files and misuse
of the new bright highlight textures.
The script converted paths only when "mapmodel" or "texture"
strings were at beginning of the lines, now that is changed,
in order to paths will be converted also in, for example,
commented out lines.
Also changed name of the script to more proper.
Mapmodel and -sound entities which refer to unassigned slots are now
listed in the "edit slots" menus. From there, the entities can be visited
and manually corrected or deleted.
selectionwalk action beginsel endsel
The command iterates over all cubes in all selections and executes
"action" for each cube. The cubes of every selection are framed by
executions of "beginsel" and "endsel". The action script is allowed
to make changes to cube attributes, and if it does, an undo point is
automatically added. "beginsel" and "endsel" are optional.
While the scripts are executed, several aliases provide further info:
sw_cursel
Position and size of the current selection. Valid in all three
scripts. Holds four integer values for x, y, xs, ys. See command
"selection" for details.
(all following aliases are only valid during the execution of the action
script and provide the attributes of one cube of the map)
sw_abs_x
sw_abs_y
sw_rel_x
sw_rel_y
Absolute and relative (within the current selection) coordinates of
the current cube. Read-only values.
sw_type
Type of the current cube. Can be 0..4 for SOLID, CORNER, FHF, CHF and
SPACE. May be changed to other numerical value or keyword.
sw_floor
sw_ceil
Floor and ceiling heights of the current cube. Range -128..127
sw_wtex
sw_ftex
sw_ctex
sw_utex
Texture slot indices for wall, floor, ceiling and upper wall of the
current cube.
sw_vdelta
sw_tag
Vdelta and tag values of current cube.
sw_r
sw_g
sw_b
Current light values of current cube. Can be edited, but only with
temporary effect. Will be reset with the next light recalc.
The command is mostly useful for statistics scripts (like counting cubes
with certain attributes), but is can also be used for scripted editing,
as the following (useless) example shows:
selectionwalk [ += sw_floor (rnd 2) ]
Further changes:
The command listoptions now also can return the names of cube types:
echo (listoptions cubetypes)
The command countwalls is now implemented as a script instead of a
builtin command. The script works better, because it doesn't create
unnecessary undo points.
DOCREF selectionwalk listoptions countwalls
Two new commands, menuitemeditkeyinput and menuitemspectkeyinput, both
work the same as menuitemkeyinput - only for edit and spect binds.
The new edit keys menu should also work fine as edit key help :)
menuitem[|edit|spect]keyinput text bindcmd
Menuitem, that displays "text" and all keys, that bind "bindcmd" - in
game-, edit- or spect mode.
DOCREF menuitemeditkeyinput menuitemspectkeyinput

During startup, it is checked, if the game account needs to be unlocked
by password. If so, the password is asked and applied.
If no game account exists yet, the creation of a new account is offered.
new command "mypubkey": returns public key of game account, or empty
string, if no account exists or it is unusable (due to missing password,
for example)
DOCREF mypubkey
Calculate some key values to determine map geometry viability.
mapareacheck <what>
Returns different sets of statistics, depending on the keyword "what":
vdelta
Returns table of numbers of cubes within a certain range of vdelta
differences (steepness)". First entry is "0..2 cubes steep", next is
"2..4" and so on.
steepest
Returns the coordinates of the steepest heightfield cube.
total
Returns the number of non-solid cubes on the map.
pprest
Returns the number of cubes _not_ visible from one of the probe
positions.
pp (default)
Returns a table of all (currently 64) probe points of the map. Each
probe point is listed with:
- x-coordinate
- y-coordinate
- floor height
- area visible
- volume of visible area
- average height in visible area
DOCREF mapareacheck
...and some options for sortmapmodelslots and sorttextureslots
All three commands now accept three modifier keywords as arguments:
nosort do not sort the list alphabetically
nomerge do not merge any slots
mergeused merge used and unused (identical) slots freely
By default, the list is sorted and only unused identical slots are merged.
The keywords can be combined in any order. "nomerge" takes priority over
"mergeused".
Examples:
sortmapmodelslots
Sort the mapmodel slot list alphabetically and merge unused identical
slots. Merging an unused slot is pretty much the same as deleting it,
so this command sorts the list and removes unneeded double entries.
sortmapmodelslots nosort
Merges (deletes) unused double entries in the mapmodel slot list.
sorttextureslots nosort mergeused
Merges double entries in the texture slot list. If two identical
entries are used in the map, all uses are mapped to the new combined
slot. This leaves no visual changes on the map. Should be avoided, if
texture slots have been renamed manually - and the the renaming isn't
finished yet.
sortmapsoundslots mergeused
Sorts the mapsound slot list and merges all double entries.
DOCREF sortmapmodelslots sorttextureslots sortmapsoundslots
(for now) by default bound to the '#'-key (and backslash)
Press and hold the '#'-key and scroll the wheel to scroll console.
Just pressing and releasing '#' resets the console position.
Without the console open, releasing '#' always resets the console position.
