Important: always custom code should be added to disable
error sounds because of SDL_ENABLEAPPEVENTS - after keys
pressing (see code below "ADDED SO IT DOESN'T BEEP BECAUSE
WE ENABLE SDL_ENABLEAPPEVENTS" comment).
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
Unless otherwise specified in a config file, every model (md2 or md3)
tries to load skin.jpg, skin.png, ../skin.jpg and ../skin.png (in that
order). This commit silences the errors if some of those attempts fail.
There is still an error message, if none of the four files can be found.
The commit also deletes five identical skin.jpg and places one in ../
It fixes the problem, that during spectating in 1st person view,
when spectated player collided (for example with wall) and crouched,
then his crouches weren't visible for player1.
Earlier if player held grenade in the hands and other player
connected to server and started to spectate him, then this second
player always saw assault rifle stats on the HUD as previously
selected weapon. It happens, because new client doesn't know, what
was previous weapon of players on the server, which didn't switch
yet weapon after its connection, so GUN_ASSAULT is set by default.
So if first player used for e.g. sniper rifle, then displayed ammo
stats were 0/0. Now then are displayed stats of primary weapon.
enlargearchslopeselections
If the variable is set to 1, after placing an arch or a slope, the
selection is enlarged, so that the arch or slope can be changed by
vdelta increments (for example, to raise an arch in 1/4 cube increments).
This is also the classic behaviour.
If the variable is set to 0 (which is now default), the selection remains
unchanged. This way, for example, the arch can be raised or lowered by
regular cube increments.
The arch menu allows changing the setting and also contains a script to
enlarge the selections once.
pushselections
New script to store the positions of all current selections. Can be used
repeatedly. To restore the selections, type "popselections".
enlargevdeltaselections
Enlarges all selections by one cube in x- and y- direction, to change a
selection from the "cube area" to the "vdelta area".
If an argument is given, it is used as increment value, so, for example
"enlargevdeltaselections -1" undoes a previous enlargement.
DOCREF enlargearchslopeselections pushselections enlargevdeltaselections
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 edit protocol now allows the following commands in multiplayer:
arch, slope, edittag, edittagclip, selectionrotate, selectionflip
also:
mapenlarge has been limited to size 10 in multiplayer
entitiy undelete in multiplayer has been fixed
SV_EDITS, SV_EDITD and SV_EDITE are to be cleaned up with a protocol bump
DOCREF arch slope edittag edittagclip selectionrotate selectionflip
undolevel <level>
Returns the number of undo steps that can be undone. If argument "level"
is given, as many steps are undone, until "level" steps remain.
Example, during editing:
echo (undolevel)
prints number of previous editing steps, for example "55"
... do some editing ...
undolevel 55
undoes all changes to restore the previous state (if that state
is still in memory... keep in mind, undo-space is limited, see
"undomegs" parameter)
Unless memory limits delete states, undolevel commands can be undone
with "redo".
DOCREF undolevel
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.
DOCREF mapoverride_nowaterreflect ignoreoverride_nowaterreflect
DOCREF mapoverride_limitwaveheight ignoreoverride_limitwaveheight
DOCREF mapoverride_nostencilshadows ignoreoverride_nostencilshadows
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.
DOCREF getmaptimestamp
getwatercolour
Returns a string with the four components of the water colour, red,
green, blue and alpha.
Example: echo (getwatercolor) --> 20 25 20 178
setwatercolour what value
Allows setting the components of the water colour independently. "what"
is either a keyword "red|green|blue|alpha" or the index number 0..3 and
determines, which component is set to "value".
Example:
watercolour 0 0 0
sets all colour components to zero
setwatercolour red 200
sets the red component to 200
