This fix is no longer needed, because the new corner handling in the
physics engine does no longer care about those cubes. Also, they can
now be cleaned up by mapmrproper.
* separated "loading the map" from "collecting map statistics"
* replaced the buggy toptimize with mapmrproper as default
pre-save optimiser
* add timestamps to loadmap-stats
"mapmrproper" tries to optimize hidden attributes of maps in a way, that
the map can be handled in bigger chunks by the renderer.
The mipmapping routine does not take into account, if certain textures
of a cube are visible at all, when it collects otherwise identical cubes
to be handled en-bloc. "mapmrproper" changes invisible textures in a way,
that the cubes are in fact identical - so, that the mipmapper is satisfied.
This optimization is a bit too huge for now, to be used by savemap by
default (instead of toptimize()) - even though mapmrproper is far superior
to toptimize(). Since mapmrproper potentially changes a lot of textures,
it may be too annoying during the creation of a map anyway. It is a tool
to optimize the map, as soon as the geometry (and texturing) is done.
The optimizer does not change any map properties that are visible in any
way. The optical effect of slightly changing lighting of the map is caused
by the (light-) recalc() function at the end of the optimization run.
Every run of recalc() seems to have that effect (check for yourself, by
typing /recalc several times).
Before any changes are made, mapmrproper creates a backup, which can be
restored by "undo" (press "U"). Enable mipstats (F6), to see, what has
been done.
The command "calcmipstats" just counts all the mips in the current map,
and prints their numbers as 1x1/2x2/4x4/8x8/16x16/32x32/64x64.
Keep in mind, that map geometry /and/ lighting affects the mipmapping.
(To get a better idea of this, try changing the "lighterror" parameter)
now /savemap after /newmap saves to "newmap.cgz" instead of ".cgz"
also, voting for a nonexistent map in singleplayer leaves the client in
some sort of a broken state. this fix blocks the vote.
and: newmap is blocked in bot modes, since that isn't working stable.
Older versions of ac did not obey the map header field "headersize".
When a map was written, only the "version" field was updated, even if
the new written header had a different size. Thanks to bigger headers
in map versions 7 & 8 (and now smaller headers again in 9), the headersize
of basically all official maps is bogus. This fix makes sure, only proper
headersizes are written. It also makes the game tolerate different (bigger)
headers - and keeps their content untouched. Future map format extensions
can use this to add header information without breaking existing map parsers.
This patch establishes a new map format 10, which is identical to format 9,
with the exception that the headersize field is guaranteed to be correct.
Format 10 also allows any amount of additional header data.
This patch also cleans up the transformation routines for old map entities.
added entset command for easier ent editing
revised command completion system
