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

- cleanup scoreboard menu code
- clientlog info messages for debug binaries only
- have debug binaries check for easy docs errors
- docinvalid now also checks for broken references
also clean up and fix some stuff: lilswap(unsigned long long int) mapped
to the 32-bit swap code...
added some runtime tests for the hash functions - now they will crash at
startup, if some test vectors fail (because big endian is still untested)
and: fix enumsounds, kill some CR, cleanup
menuitemcheckbox <text> <value> <action> <position>
Now takes an optional fourth parameter "position" in the range from 0
to 100, default 0, which moves the position of the checkbox over the
width of a text input or slider, with 100 being left and 0 being right.
DOCREF menuitemcheckbox
Use a plain cubescript variable instead of a commandline switch.
mastertype
0: classic direct TCP connection
1: HTTP connection (via proxy) (default)

- 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)
DOCREF scriptcontext isolatecontext
- 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
DOCREF autoexec
break up shiftgametime() time jumps into 5-second jumps and five 1-second
jumps for the last five seconds
rename respawnoffset to lastdeath (because that's what it is)
rename clientside nextmillis to skipmillis (because that's what it does)
While the mapmodel registry works fully automatically for all auto-
downloaded models, it does not check for manual changes to the filesystem.
To clear models from the list that have been deleted from the profile
directory and to add models that have been downloaded outside the game,
this new menu entry can be used.
mapmodelregistryclear deletes all loaded mapmodel attributes
loadallmapmodels checks the filesystem for mapmodels and loads them
(all trees below packages/models/mapmodels, in home, zips, mods, install)
Both together rebuild the whole mapmodel database.
DOCREF mapmodelregistryclear
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.

- remove sensitivity training (should be rewritten in cubescript, if
actually required)
- more documentation on mouse sensitivity parameters
- some renaming
DOCREF findsens
- split into strafe roll (maxroll) and damage roll (maxrolleffect)
- locally recompute remote players roll (can be removed from pos pkt)
- fix maxrollremote
