Some changes to allow the current experimental branch to be used for a
hotfix release for win10 users.
The latest win10-update broke compatibility with SDL1.2 - and apparently
MS is not going to fix it. This hotfix allows win10 users to use our
experimental SDL2-based client.
It is quite incompatible with the 1.2.0.2 release - but it's good enough
to be played in pubs.
Coopedit will not work and quite a few custom maps won't work properly.
This is due to lots of changes in the map file format and does not mean,
that those custom maps can not be played in future game releases - they
just need to be reworked. See akimbo2 to check out the reworked maps, btw.
The old official maps and most conservative custom maps should be fine.
Due to some physics changes, players of the hotfix client will have some
advantages and some disadvantages compared to the regular clients, so DO
NOT USE THE HOTFIX CLIENT TO PLAY COMPETITIVELY.
By default, if an incompatible map is loaded in multiplayer, the client
will disconnect automatically. This can be disabled (disconnectonmaperror),
but will probably get you marked as cheater, because on incompatible maps,
model clipping may not work properly. Just stick to compatible maps...
The demo data is collected, hashed and compressed fully in memory, mostly
in a worker thread.
While in memory, each demo is identified by an unique sequence number,
which is, for example, used to request a download by the client.
If so configured, the demo is written to file by the worker thread.
If F10 is pressed later than two minutes into the next game, instead of
downloading the last game, the current game is scheduled to be
automatically downloaded when it ends.
At the end of a game, all clients and the server sign the demo file.

almost 3000 lines of "errors" contained one actual memleak, one actually
unused variable and three actual ambiguous code parts
from cppcheck website: "The goal is to detect only real errors in the
code (i.e. have zero false positives)." :)

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.
DOCREF persistidents
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.
DOCREF enumtodoentities addtodoentity cleartodoentities
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
DOCREF mdlattribute mapmodel mapmodelslotusage
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.

* removed convertcase
use toupper (concat A B C D ....) instead
* moved several COMMAND macros to their function bodies

Collect warnings during load_world() and issue a warning at the end. Most,
but not all warnings already printed a message - which usually scrolls out
of the console quite fast.
The collected value is also given back by the loadmap command, which
allows batch editing scripts for maps stop at problematic maps.
Mapsound errors are not detected, if soundvol is zero. Missing textures are
not flagged, if notexture is set.
The error code is ored together from those elements:
0x0000001 entity attribute overflow
One or more map entities had attribute values, that are no longer
supported with map format 10. Rework manually.
0x0000010 map decoder error
Indicates a damaged map file.
0x0000100 world error -1
Map is completely solid. Very funny.
0x0000200 world error -2
Map border is not solid. Fix manually.
0x0001000 missing skymap texture files
0x0002000 missing world texture files (only if no notexture is set)
0x0004000 missing mapmodel files
0x0008000 missing mapsound files
0x0010000 bad mapsound command in map config
0x0020000 bad mapmodel command in map config
0x0040000 bad texture command in map config
0x0080000 bad loadnotexture command in map config
0x0100000 error during loading of mapmodels (see earlier console output)
0x1000000 out of range integer value in map config (for example, "fog 0")
0x2000000 out of range float value in map config
0x4000000 generic cubescript error in map config
The command loadmap is now also available for non-debug builds.
DOCREF loadmap
* sort colored lights behind white ones to avoid a light bug
* sort all clipped entities to the end of the list to speed up physics

also add script to generate a summary map license file
new (undocumented) debug commands:
loadmap <mapname>
loads a map directly, easy to use from scripts
debugline <filename> <text>
writes text to file (no path names allowed)
Two new string variables, mapinfo_license and mapinfo_comment, are stored
withing the header of a map file.
The variables are automatically read and written during loading and
saving maps. Default values are empty strings. The comment string is
ignored, as long as no license string is set. The license string is meant
to hold an abbreviated name of the license, picked from a list of
known map licenses.
DOCREF mapinfo_license mapinfo_comment
Drop support for maps outside packages/maps and for package config files.
(never been used in AC anyway)
also: generate all map related filenames with proper path separators
Mapmodels which were not found once are put on a list and not tried to
be loaded again. With this commit, the list is cleared during a map load
if autodownload is enabled. This causes all missing models to be
downloaded.
Fixes issues with manually aborted autodownloads.
Check printf-like functions like conoutf, if format strings and argument
lists match.
This commit also fixes a lot of code parts that actually had mismatching
argument lists - or did things, that this check does not like.
numtime() was rewritten in an ugly but very portable fashion (it's
recommended to stay away from "long long" format entries, because errors
usually only come up at runtime).
