new tool: list media sources
new stage: check vantage points
new: add single map from menu
new: option to abort maps on stage errors
fixed: make sure, player is alive (to be able to enter edit mode) during
conversions
changed commands:
strstr haystack needle
now returns position of needle in haystack (counting from 1)
or zero, if not found
substr string start len
now counts negative length from total length
"substr text 1 -2" now returns the text without first and last char
strreplace text search replace
no longer restricted to 260 char stringlengths
removed commands:
swapelements, strpos (can be scripted, if required)
DOCREF strstr substr
DOCREF swapelements strpos
replace tokens starting with @ during scanning/sizing-up of []-blocks
@word look up word as in $word
@(...) evaluate braces
@[...] evaluate braces and look up result
@"..." parse quotes
in nested []-blocks, use multiple @ to determine time of replacement
(for example, @@@word is replaced when found inside three nested braces)
in regular $-lookup, $[...] now evaluates the braces before lookup
like format, but all parameters are treated as lists and are exploded first
format2 <formatstring> arg1 arg2 arg3...
substitutes %1..%9 with the arguments 1..9
argument lists are exploded first
/echo (format "_%1_%2_%3_%4_%5_" "A B C" D E F)
prints: _A B C_D_E_F__
/echo (format2 "_%1_%2_%3_%4_%5_" "A B C" D E F)
prints: _A_B_C_D_E_
In addition, both format and format2 now allow access to more than nine
parameters. Parameter numbers of 10 and higher have to be prefixed with
an additional zero. For example "%010" accesses parameter number ten.

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
hideigraphs 0..1 (default 0)
if 1, no new images will be shown in the console
DOCREF updateigraphs getigraph igraphsizehardcoded

- 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.
DOCREF enumsounds
scriptcontext and isolatecontext now allow plain text mnemonics for
context level arguments (one of CORE, CFG, PROMPT, MAPCFG, MDLCFG)
also:
- cleanup (some dead code and dead prototypes removed)
- some stuff renamed
- script errors now show context levels
- conc is no longer thread-safe (but slightly faster)

- add new hook "autoexec", executed right after autoexec.cfg
- properly report errors during hook execution
- new script to edit the contents of an alias in the console

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
Local hitsounds (/hitsound 2) work by running CubeScript
command `sound`, passing hitsound sound number and
priority (highest). However, `sound` command doesn't actually
take the second priority argument and always uses default normal
priority.
This commit adds the second prioity argument to `sound`.
It accepts numeric priority levels as well as string names.
Also use highest priority for server hitsounds (to be consistent with
local hitsounds).
(was pull request #164)

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
same as looplist, but it automatically counts the loops in "i", starting
with 0.
Example:
a = [u v w] ; b = [x y z]
looplisti $a m [echo $m (at $b $i) $i]
u x 0
v y 1
w z 2

When a script file is executed, any additional arguments are passed
as execarg1..execargX to the script. The number of arguments is in
execnumargs and if the script in the file sets the value of execresult,
the exec command returns that value.
Example:
If there is a file testscript.cfg with this content:
execresult = (* $execarg1 $execarg2)
then the command
echo (exec testscript.cfg 6 7)
will output "42".
DOCREF exec
* 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
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
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
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)
* do not use std::abs() because math.h includes one, that converts ints
to double. Use own iabs(), which directly uses labs() instead.
* don't use the word "gamma" as name for variables
* don't use a homebrew round() function
VS2008 doesn't have round() in math.h and the old inline function (removed
in 50d1413d, had problems in newer compilers). Now floor() or straight
casting to int is used. Let's see, which MS compiler will trip on that...
although I doubt, that anyone ever fell for that
(the fix prevents, that nickname completion can change the first char of
the console string to a slash, which would change the line from chat to
command)
* change priority of zip packages from "highest" to "just below home dir"
* strict naming rules for zip packages
* require all zips to be below directory "mods/"
* only allow zips to intoduce files below "packages/" (or with a special
zip package name also below "config/")
* make zip package config persistent (saved to init.cfg)
