Interpret the waterlevel value as tenths of a cube.
This makes the waterlevel variable a float value to the user, while the
map file still stores an integer value - but now it is interpreted
differently - for example, a waterlevel value of 123 now means 12.3 cubes
instead of 123. Old map files are converted during loading.
Note: the values of waterlevel and hdr.waterlevel need to be in sync.

This patch enables an option to keep the map config embedded in the map
file - with autogenerated content. Any changes to map config data will be
written with the map. This includes data by loadnotexture, loadsky,
mapmodel, texture, fog, fogcolour, mapsound and shadowyaw. Once enabled,
all changes with those commands become persistent to the map.
New variables:
mapsoundchanged
Set to "1" with every command that changes mapsound slots. Should be
used to trigger a rebuild of mapsound menus.
New/changed commands:
mapsound
Now returns the number of the created slot.
mapmodel
Now returns the number of the created slot.
texture
Now returns the number of the created slot.
loadsky
Is now a builtin string variable (instead of a command), which means,
that the current value can easily be retrieved or edited.
The skymap name in the argument is now required to start with
"textures/skymaps/" - but that part of the path can be omitted.
examples:
loadsky steini/steini2 (loads textures/skymaps/steini/steini2_*)
loadsky textures/skymaps/steini/steini2 (same)
loadsky ../foo/bar (loads textures/foo/bar_*)
echo $loadsky
getnotexture
Returns the current "notexture" path. (Set by loadnotexture)
dumpmapconfig (available for debug binaries only)
Writes the current automatically generated map config to
dumpmapconfig.txt.
DOCREF mapsoundchanged mapsound mapmodel texture loadsky getnotexture
Renames the existing saved.cfg to saved-old-1.cfg (and an existing -1 to
-2, and so on) before the new saved.cfg is written.
This should help in cases where players mess up their config, because the
config is deleted with a five-game-starts delay.
An xmap holds everything related to map editing at a certain moment: it is
a map editing snapshot. It contains the name, the header, the geometry,
the entities, the extra headers, the undo/redo data and the cameraposition
from the moment, the snapshot was taken.
Xmaps are held in memory and, if persistentxmaps is set to "1", are saved
at game end and restored at game start.
xmap_list
lists all xmaps currently in memory
xmap_store <nickname>
create a snapshot and store it under the given nickname
(nicknames have to qualify as valid filenames)
xmap_restore <nickname>
restores the named snapshot. Also creates a backup snapshot of the
current editing data.
xmap_restore
restores the last automatic backup snapshot. Automatic snapshots are
taken, a) before a snapshot is restored, b) before a new map is loaded
(if there were unsaved edits on the map) and c) when the game ends (if
there were unsaved edits).
xmap_delete <nickname>
deletes the named snapshot.
Unsaved edits are flagged in the HUD with an "U" in the lower right
corner of the screen.
The files with the persistent xmaps are stored in mapediting/xmaps. After
they were restored at game start, the files are moved to
mapediting/xmaps/backups. Xmap files are cubescript files.
This commit establishes an extensible way of storing additional data in
map file headers. Those header extras can be permanent, like the embedded
config file or be used only once after map load like the undo/redo data.
Additional extra data can be easily added and will not break backward
compatibility, so this map format should hold up for quite some time.
To make things easier for mappers, maps can now be saved without invoking
the various optimisations. That, in combination with the stored undo data,
means, that editing a map can be picked up at exactly the same state, as
the map was saved in.
Maps will automatically be written in the appropriate fashion, depending
on the situation:
1) for sendmap: no optimisation, no undo data
2) savemap during editing: no optimisation, with undo data
3) savemap when not editing: optimised, no undo data
4) savemapoptimised: optimised, no undo data
(For savemap to save different maps during editing, the variable
preserveundosonsave has to be "1". It is "0" by default.)
All of the above map files can be played without problems - they only
differ in file size. (However, maps with undo data may be too big to send)
The new command "embedconfigfile" will load the config file, include it in
the map header and rename the original text file.
"extractconfigfile" will write an embedded config file to a separate file
and remove it from the map header.
Embedded config files take precedence over regular config files and
therefore make it harder for cheaters to play with modified config files.
further changes: cleaned up some debugging code; more ASSERTs
Older versions of ac did not obey the map header field "headersize".
When a map was written, only the "version" field was updated, even if
the new written header had a different size. Thanks to bigger headers
in map versions 7 & 8 (and now smaller headers again in 9), the headersize
of basically all official maps is bogus. This fix makes sure, only proper
headersizes are written. It also makes the game tolerate different (bigger)
headers - and keeps their content untouched. Future map format extensions
can use this to add header information without breaking existing map parsers.
This patch establishes a new map format 10, which is identical to format 9,
with the exception that the headersize field is guaranteed to be correct.
Format 10 also allows any amount of additional header data.
This patch also cleans up the transformation routines for old map entities.
