openbor Tools

Reverted my previous Linux home-directory changes. I will implement a similar but much better system soon that does not require changes to the engine.

Bug Fix: Previously AI entities could not jump over or onto walls left of their x location.

AI Runjump: AI now checks range from RUNJUMP as well as JUMP when attempting to get onto/over walls and pits. RUNJUMP will be used if entity was already running (as before), or if JUMP range is insufficient and RUNJUMP range is adequate. AI entities don’t need a “run up” to perform their RUNJUMP but still follow the same rules (i.e., they use Running settings to determine RUNJUMP height and trajectory).

This enables modders to add difficult or lengthy jumps that AI controlled entities may traverse without giving them award looking and mechanically impractical trajectories for normal jumps.

onblockwscript now returns following local variables:

"plane" (int): Plane of movement wall is blocking. 1 = x, 2 = z

"height" (float): Height of blocking wall.

Fixed the menu launcher in packages generated by makedeb.

Added directory tools/makepkg, containing the new makedeb utility to make .deb packages of OpenBOR for easy distribution and installation on Debian/Ubuntu-based distros.

Removed the generation of openbor.desktop and dpkg control at compile time. The functionality will soon reappear as a new entry in the tools directory.

Fixed compiler error due to typo.

version.sh now also generates an openbor.desktop file. Put it in /usr/share/applications under GNOME (under Linux) and you can launch OpenBOR from the Games section of the Applications menu.

version.sh now generates a control file that dpkg can use.

Added support for reading Paks, Logs, Saves, ScreenShots from a user settings directory called .openbor under Linux if they don't already exist in the current working directory; this conforms much better to established standards under Linux. Consequently, it should open up the possibility of distributing OpenBOR for Linux as a .deb or .rpm package in the future.
