new or changed commands:
addpckserver hostname [priority]
Adds a host name to the list of package servers. If a priority is given,
it influences the sorting of servers. Servers with higher priority are
queried first. If servers have the same priority, they are sorted by
ping. Default priority is zero.
getpackageserver
Returns a table with four columns of all configured package servers. The
columns are: host name, priority, ping and resolved.
"resolved" is a flag, indicating, if the server answered the ping during
game start.

WARNING: intermediate commit - autodownload system defunct!

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).
(some code was copied from sauer)
Until now, every texture file was only loaded once after game start. When
a subsequent use of an already in use texture required a different
scaling factor, the texture was not reloaded. Simultaneous use of one
texture file with different scaling factors was completely impossible.
Now, the scaling factor is treated as part of the file name. Therefore, a
texture will be loaded again, if it is needed in a different scaling
factor.
Also: using out of range scaling factors with the "texture" command now
results in an error message. Some map config authors don't use the command
properly...
Also: removed the unneeded createtexturefromsurface()
This adds a means to store additional attributes for mapmodels, including
a caching mechanism, so the mapmodels don't have to be loaded to access
the information. The goal is, to provide fully automatic mapmodel menus
for map editing who also add information about downloaded mapmodels.
Model attributes are extracted everytime, when a model is loaded. At game
end, all available data is written to config/mapmodelattributes.cfg and
restored at next startup. On release, a file with all (but only) official
models should be included. Since autodownloaded models are usually "loaded"
after download, those are automatically added to the database. If someone
adds models manually to the directories (media pack, w/e), the command
"loadallmapmodels" can be used to try to find all available models. The
only way to delete something from the database, is to delete the file
config/mapmodelattributes.cfg when the game is closed.
The current list of attributes is:
keywords
List of one or more menu topics to list the model under. Check
config/menus_edit.cfg for available keywords. Unknown keywords will
be listed separately.
desc
Short name or description of the model. Will be used as menu entry.
usage
Important information for how to use that specific model.
author
Who created the mapmodel. If it's a derivative of another model, state
the author of the mod (refer to the original author under "license", if
you like). Always use the exact same spelling for the same author, to
allow menus to automatically group models by author.
license
Free-text attribute for license info or info about additional
contributors (or original authors for derivated works).
distribution
One of "official", "autodownload" or "manual". Other values default to
"manual". This is used to determine, if a map contains only original
media or media that can be download automatically.
version
Single numerical value to separate older from newer versions. Defaults
to zero. Higher numbers mean "newer". Maybe someone manages to implement
a versioning system for custom media in the future...
New commands:
mdlattribute <attr> <value>
To be used in model config files. Adds a value for a specified
attribute to the model.
mapmodelregister <modelpath> <attr1> <attr2> ...
Adds values for all attributes to a specific mapmodel. This is used to
restore the cached values from config/mapmodelattributes.cfg during
game start. Does not actually verify of load the model.
mapmodelattributes <modelpath> <attr>
Returns the value of a specific attribute of a mapmodel. If modelpath
is a number, it is interpreted as index for the list of models in the
current map config. If no attribute name is specified, all attributes
are printed to the console instead.
getmapmodelattributes <list of attribute names>
Returns a table of all known mapmodels. Each model is listed with the
modelpath and the values for the requested attributes. To be used
instead of a fixed table in menu_edit.cfg. In addition to attribute
names, the function also allows the keywords "explodekeywords" and
"sortby:" as arguments. If "explodekeywords" is given, all mapmodels
with more than one keyword are listed multiple times, once for each
keyword. If an attribute name is preceeded by "sortby:" the list will
be sorted by this table column. If "sortby:" is used several times,
this first sort will have highest priority. The list is always sorted
by path by default.
example:
getmapmodelattributes sortby: author sortby: desc explodekeywords
loadallmapmodels
Tries to load mapmodels from /all/ paths below packages/models/mapmodels.
Will throw a lot of error messages, because not all directories contain
models to load. This command can be used to build or rebuild the
complete list of all available mapmodels. It is only necessary, if models
are added manually to the directories, since every mapmodel gets added
to the list when it is loaded - which takes care of all automatically
downloaded models.

All cfg-files in config/autostart get executed during startup.
- more appropriate directory name and place
- files are now sorted alphabetically, as promised
- doubles are removed (resulting from identical file names in home and
install tree) since they would only result in files run twice
- scripts with file names prefixed with "_veryfirst_", "_beforesaved_"
or "_aftersaved_" will be run as very first config file, right before
saved.cfg or right after saved.cfg
- all remaining files will be run right before autoexec.cfg
- the directory "config/autostart" will be created, if it doesn't already
exist in the home tree
An alias, that was at least once used with the new "tempalias" will not be
written to saved.cfg.
So, now there are four ways to create aliases:
1) alias (or "=")
General alias, who's value gets saved at game exit in saved.cfg, and
restored at the next restart - unless the alias was created at a time,
where persistidents was zero (usually during execution of the game's own
config files during startup).
2) const
Creates an alias, that can not be changed. Makes it harder for users
to destroy their config.
3) push
Reassigns an alias with a new value. After "pop", the old value is
restored. Allows the use of "local" aliases in scripts. Also avoids
name conflicts.
4) tempalias
Like "alias", but the value will not be written to saved.cfg.
The commit also changes aliases, written by the engine itself, to "temp":

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.
The logfile can't be created before the commandline arguments are parsed,
because before that, the home directory is unknown. This patch logs
into a memory buffer which is then copied to the logfile as soon as
the logfile is created after processing the commandline arguments.
The memory buffer is created during the initialisation of global variables,
and destroyed after the logfile is created.
This new feature reads a list of config files from a zip file named
config/configtemplates.zip and checks each file, if it is already
existing in the game's search path. If it can not be found, it will
be created in the user's home dir (where saved.cfg gets written).
Before this, the config files were installed with the rest of the game,
and if the user customised any of the files, he most likely did not move
the file to his personal directory first. A re-install in the same place
would then overwrite the customised file.
This feature creates the files where they will usually not be overwritten.
To use the feature, before packaging the game, the files
config/autoexec.cfg
config/favourites.cfg
config/pcksources.cfg
have to be archived into a zip file
config/configtemplates.zip
The zip file should not contain directories. It should not be checked
into git. The original single config files should not be distributed
with the package.
- a client will now write all os console messages to "clientlog.txt"
- at every game start, the log file gets rotated (with five old logs kept)
- commandline parameter "-N" can be used to limit the number of lines
(after the lines are logged, the file is closed)
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.
- fix possible crash in conc (but it's still an ugly hack)
- fix noob usage of strcmp
- flag some memory leaks (it would be nice, if the author(s) would clean
up the mess himself)
- fix crash in substr
- whitespace cleanup
there are plenty more memory leaks in command.cpp - for example, every
goto in cubescript does not clean up anything
As zeSKB reported, there was no icon for the game window.
This should now be fixed. We might want to make it transparent in the future,
but we would have to make sure it will be supported by any system.
