6.4.1 alpha 1
=============
* [Rowdy/cdunde]: Mainly to play nice with Torque's map2dif utility,
an option has been added to the game configuration window for
each game to specify the number of decimal places to use when
writing floating point values to .map files. Most games work
with the default value of 5, Torque/map2dif requires more (and
is defaulted to 16). Ranges from 1 to 40.
* [alexander]: HL2 Related Enhancements
- can set lightmapscale for face in face specific page
- vmf file loader imports worldspawn attributes, dumps
everything it doesnt understant into a misc folder of the map
structure
- vmf loader does no longer break on hidden entities and brushes
* [alexander]: HL2 Related Enhancements
- loading of .vmf (hammer map files) is available
- CS-Source textures complete
- QuArK Loads HL2 models and render yellow transparent boxes
with the models size and orientation in the open gl
viever. Note that lights must be enabled an a light entity
must be in the map to make this work.
- QuArK understands now a mdlrendermode setup for model
rendering additionally to the "mdl", "mdlbase" and
"mdlopacity" form date specifics.
- fixed bogus mdlopacity specific reading
- The model selection form has been improved
- the quarksteamfs.dll allows now retry of a steam
configuration, before this we had to shutdown quark to be able
to retry a different configuration.
- rendermode, renderamt and rendercolor settings of brush
entities are displayed in open gl mode
- detect hl2 bsp format, but no loading yet
- remove prepare textures and build program 4 call from default
config
* [alexander]: QuArK understands now how to access Steam directly.
(Steam must be running for that). Some new configuration entries
have to be set up for steam access.
* [cdunde]: Added support for Q3 based mods CoD (Call of Duty), ET
(Enemy Territory) and UT (Urban Terror - 2 data unit files).
* [cdunde]: Weapon entities added to the DataMOHAA file by Hannibal.

lists of all textures, shaders and all singleplayer entities as
well as a partial list of multiplayer entities. Setup a new path
in the Defaults.qrk file for game and command lines for the map
compiler file q3map2.exe.
* [alexander]: Introduced new PointSpecHandle which allows to have
additional 3d control points on entities. Which specifics are
used for these points is controlled similar to the angle
specific list. This is needed to support ladders and breakable
security glass in HL2.
* [alexander]: HL2-related enhancements:
- allow individual texture paths for hl2
- VTF DLL api changed, can select mip level now
- preparations for this splitting access via Steam and via HLLib
- GCF DLL has now static linkage against HLLib
* [alexander]: Fixes for HL2/Source support
- Fixes for GCF file handling
- Configuration changes to handle HL2 textures
* [Rowdy]: For Doom 3: Added bounding boxes to the entities, re-added
common/* textures (like caulk, trigger), fixed the roof texture
in the default room, added an "export .map" option to the Doom 3
menu on the map editing window (makes exporting .map files in
preparation for compilation somewhat easier), updated
readme_doom3.txt.
* [cdunde/Rowdy]: Added light Color-Picker function for Torque game
engine.
* [alexander]: HL2 Support started. Too many changes to list here.
* [alexander]: removed unnecessary resampling and gamma conversion
for open gl true color textures
* [alexander]: source/prog/QkMap.pas fixed malformed comment line
with 0D inside fooling D5 and not D6
* [alexander]: source/prog/Game2.pas - fixed missing use clause
* [cdunde]: Created GameCodeList.txt file to keep track of codes.
* [peter-b]: Intercept "no attribute 'wraplist'" Python error when
trying to wrap around pillar with incorrect selection.

added support for loading map files made for the latest Quake3
and Doom3 engine based games. Also a small fix for handling MD3
models(especially for RTCW).
* [Rowdy/cdunde]: Corrected handling of comments for shaders to fix
problem of them not showing up in the Texture Browser.
* [Rowdy]: Initial support for the editing of Doom 3 maps. See
readme_doom3.txt for more information.
6.4.0 beta 1
============
* [cdunde]: New HotKey (Tab) and Options menu function, Rebuild 3D
views (actually all views) in case of a lockup. This clears up
all textured views, may need multiple attempts.
* [cdunde]: New HotKey (Alt+A) for Options menu function, Axis XYZ
letter indicator in view windows.
6.4.0 alpha 3
=============
* [slightcrazed/peter-b]: Instructions for installing QuArK on
GNU/Linux.
* [Decker/cdunde]: New HotKey (Alt-D) and Selection menu function,
Make Detail for setting multiple poly and face texture flag
to detail and related Infobase update.
* [Nazar/cdunde]: Updates to Q3 and JK2 Data.qrk files to display
models in views, including custom and file selection windows.
* [SilverPaladin]: Improved the compiling menu for The-WildWest
Maps. Q3Map2 2.5.11 or newer is recommended. Updated the
Wild-West support for the version 1.5 release.
* [SilverPaladin] Fixed the model handling so that if a skin is not
found uncompressed on your hard drive, it will look in the pack
files you've loaded for the game.
* [SilverPaladin] Fixed the last two compilation warnings in the
Quark source code. Quark now compiles warning and hit free in
Delphi 5 and 6. I'll check under Delphi 7 soon.
* [SilverPaladin] Fixed several access violations that could occur
when closing QuArK.
* [SilverPaladin] Protected against several divide by zero errors
that would occur when viewing MD3 files in Quark.
* [SilverPaladin] Changed the general saving method so that
"Unsupported File Format" errors still allow you to save your
QRK file and not lose your work. This could occur if you linked
to an MD3 file in an add-on.
* [SilverPaladin] Updated the Map Check methods so that you can have
brush objects contain only beziers. Prior to this an error
message was displayed erroneously stating your map would not
work if a brush entity did not contain at least on poly. This
message has been eliminated in all games which support Bezier
Patches.
* [peter-b]: Removed reliance on external string library (QuArK now
uses Python's built-in string library directly).
* [peter-b]: Python 1.5 no longer supported: QuArK now only works
with Python 2.0 or higher.
* [cdunde]: Added 'Grid scale in 2D views' feature to Options menu.
By activating the sub-menu items they will place the current
grid setting numbers on that particular view and will increase
or decrease as you zoom in and out.
* [peter-b]: Reorganised documentation to conform more closely to the
norm for GPL projects.
6.4.0 alpha 2
=============
* [cdunde]: Added 'Look and Zoom in 3D views' feature to Options menu
and which is activated by the 'Zoom to selection' button in the
'Selection Toolbar' with related hint and Infobase entry.
* [SilverPaladin]: Fixed the error that caused all Toolbox window
Edit and Toolboxes menus not to work.
6.4.0 alpha 1
=============
* [SilverPaladin]: Eliminated Delphi 1-3 support by converting all
forms to text forms for better management and by adding 32
bit properties to the projects.
* [SilverPaladin]: Fixed the error that caused all 3d Windows to fail
when one is closed.
* [SilverPaladin]: Added support for Return to Castle Wolfenstein:
The WildWest (1.4).
* [nerdiii]: Edited default.qrk so texture origin and size are
displayed with two decimals
* [dannsdinosaurs]: Heretic II Add-on Data, Added DEATHMATCH
spawnflag to all weapons & ammo. Added NOT DEATHMATCH to doors,
levers, buttons, puzzle pieces.
* [SilverPaladin]: Changed model handling so that QIII/RtCW/WW models
can be loaded.
* [peter-b]: Revision of the way Python version & DLL path are logged
* [peter-b]: Bundled Python upgrade to 2.2.3
* [peter-b]: New executable installer and release policy
* [SilverPaladin]: General Clean Up
- Eliminated all Delphi 5 Hints and Warnings
- Eliminated all Delphi 6 Hints and all but 2 Delphi 6 Warnings
- Fixed Index out of bounds error producing false positives
during leak search...
- Improved platform independance for future porting to linux
- Modified Normalise so that zero length vectors are returned
unmodified
- Cleaned up Direct3d hints and warninds
- Eliminated an access violation in the 3d views

Tagside toolbar. Both with new icons, active function hints and
Infobase links.
* [cdunde, Decker and others]: Addons menu creation for adding 3rd
party programs to various sub-menus categories. To run and
import their map output shapes. Also import any out side map to
editor.
* [peter-b]: Build Infobase on case-sensitive operating systems
(such as Linux)
* [peter-b]: Python bundling
* [cdunde, tiglari]: mapstairs problems; fixed bug and added 'old
style' flag.
* [dannj] Heretic2 data: Fixed material types for trains, added
ANIMATE flag for floor torch, fixed current direction
descriptions, added angle specifics for lots of entities and
more.
6.4 alpha snapshot Mar 29 2003
===============================
There are quite a lot of new features here, one of the most
noteworthy is that many of the help popup windows have a button in
them which will call up the relevant infobase page. This feature was
conceived and implemented by cdunde, with some help from Andy Vincent
and tiglari. To use the new feature, you need to unzip the infobase
(downloadable help file) into a subfolder of your QuArK folder called
`help'. For best results, use the most recent one, linked to from
whereever you downloaded this from.
Other additions include display of transparency in Q2 and other
games, loading portal files, and a brush-from number-finder. Here's
the list, complete except for whatever I've forgotten:
* [tiglari] select tagged faces menu item enable bug fixed (bug noted
by cdunde)

(holes and portals currently supported)
* [marco leise] more GL modes supported
* [tiglari, cdunde] various selection menu enabler logic bugs fixed
* [tiglari] writes genesis3d maps in map format, with texture
coordinates diddled so that they will hopefully be correct when
imported into Genesis3d editors.
* [decker] transparency
* [dannj] updates to Heretic II entities
* [cdunde] greatly improved Q2_Lazarus entities
* [cdunde] tagging toolbar
* [cdunde, Andy, tiglari] F1 help can now load a page from the
infobase, which must be in help/ subfolder of QuArK directory
* [tiglari] enhancements to wall maker
* [decker] bot waypoint editor, preliminary
* [tiglari] writes genesis3d maps in map format, with texture
coordinates diddled so that they will hopefully be correct when
imported into Genesis3d editors.
* [decker] transparency
* [dannj] updates to Heretic II entities
* [cdunde] greatly improved Q2_Lazarus entities
* [cdunde] tagging toolbar
* [cdunde, Andy, tiglari] F1 help can now load a page from
the infobase, which must be in help/ subfolder of QuArK
directory
* [tiglari] enhancements to wall maker
* [decker] bot waypoint editor, preliminary >>>>>>> 1.52
* [decker] scrollbars on plugin list
* [rowdy] changes for compilation under D7

PYTHON22_OR_BETTER to the Project Conditional Defines.
QuArK 6.3
=========
* [tiglari] bugs with bsp-viewing fixed
* [tiglari] add 'nolinear' form and checkmark to path duplicator;
this means that linear mappings will work on it properly
* [tiglari] revise wallmaker form to encourage extruded version,
deprecate negative polys, and suggest using sold for revision of
complex forms.
* [tiglari] fix error-on-RMB-on-vertex-in-restricted-selection bug
* [tiglari] mirror-image face|textures RMB command.
* [tiglari] finding and fixing faces with non-integral vertices -
finder on search, fixer on command menus; F1 for help.
* [decker] calculation of jumppad trajectories for Q3
* [tiglari] add .pts loading commands to defaults for Q1, Hx2, HL
* [tiglari] lighting problems with etp and V220 formats, pinned down
with great effort by quantum_red, fixed.
* [tiglari] bug with non-inverse brush arches fixed (found by
quantum_red)
* [tiglari] problems with valve mapversion220 format writing fixed
(ditto)
* [cdunde] Meaningful movepal icons
* [tiglari] fix RTCW misc_model models, many skins still AWOL dunno
why
* [ut_fourdays] bad spawnflag fix for func_door/rotating
* [quantum_red,Decker,tiglari] fix dual screen monitor problem
* [Decker] Fixed GDI-object(s) not being released (leaked), when
using colors on tree-view groups (reported by Raybot).
* [decker] bugfixes to -mapbrushcurves.py, mapquakemenu.py,
maptexsearch.py, mapdupspath (involving 'level' flag).
* [tiglari] Fix problems with texture positioning in Classic Quake
and Quark etp mode (reported on the rust QuArK forum, argggh
what was I smoking when I wrote that code ...)
* [tiglari] Improve many of the search dialogs (thin faces,
microbrushes, bad texture scales, targetting/ed, bsp study,
browse multiple selection) so that they start with the first
item on the list loaded and ready to go, and don't chose the
first of two items with identical names.
* [tiglari] Radiant-style dragging for frozen selections (if
drag starts inside brush/patch but not on a handle, the whole
thing is drug, if drag starts outside of brush, most nearly
facing face is. Dragging of handles stays as before.
* [Decker] Map-editor's "Search and replace texture" now also works
as a search-for-texture in the map. Not to be confused with the
"Search for texture" which only searches in the texture-browser.
* [tiglari] Replace texture dialog: if just a face is selected, its
texture is now loaded into dialog (bug report from fpbrowser)
* [tiglari] some Valve 220 map reading errors now recorded in the
console (bad texture scale info)
* [tiglari] Bezier patches selectable from back as well as front
* [tiglari] Bilinear filtering option for textures in OpenGL view
(supported by a lot of code cleanup by Decker and Andy)
* [tiglari] Configurable 'Aux Keys' held down to select brushes,
faces, curves and entities
* [tiglari] 'frozen selection': Shift-LMB like Radiant select,
selection doesn't change until another frozen selection is made,
selection is changed in tree-view, or deselected with ESC or
Unfreeze selection
* [tiglari] Mohaa map reading implemented, various map writing bugs
fixed
* [nurail] JKII light path entities corrected
* [nurail] error involving line 447 mapquakemenu hopefully fixed
* [rtdtheprof] torque maps read correctly
* [tiglari] Mohaa maps should now be written correctly (not read,
yet).
* [tiglari] mirror duplicators are supposed to work now. This is
really a fix to new texture positioning scheme, the underlying
problem might have been having other repercussions.
* [tiglari] fix errors on opening map editor (for some people, not
me, for reasons which I don't understand at all)
* [tiglari] basic Mohaa maps now compile and run. Texture flags
don't work yet but. Another peculiar feature of Mohaa is that the
maps are written into the main directory, since the engine seems to
have trouble with tmpquark. This may change.
QuArK Snapshot of 2002ap29
==========================
* [Decker, tiglari] improved RTCW support
* [tiglari] fix bug in brush primitives writing
* [Decker] start Mohaa support
* [Andy] start JKII support
* [Rowdy] make it compile in Delphi 6
* [tiglari] On search menu, 'find bad tex scale' item that locates
faces with axes almost parallel or too small (the settable
parameters; I'm open to suggestion as to what the default values
should actually be).
* [tiglari] `Move containing' item on the vertex RMB that moves the
parent item selected from the submenu so that the vertex becomes
on-grid
* [tiglari] Better F1 help for the 'texture wrap multiplier' menu
item on the face RMB|Textures submenu
* [tiglari] fix groups hidden/greyed icon change (report by
off_by_two)
* [tiglari] change map-writing system so that format is specified in
game config rather than Map|Option flags.
This snapshot is distributed also as a patch that can be overwritten
on the 2002feb28 snapshot.
QuArK Snapshot of 2002feb28
===========================
* [Andy] .md3 skins can hopefully be loaded from paths with forward
slashes
* [Decker/tiglari] a memory leak involving the display of textures in
the multi-pages panel has hopefully been fixed
* [tiglari] memory-use tracker. To use it, first check Developer
mode in the options menu, then restart QuArk. On the command
menu will appear an item 'heapstatus', click it to get a display
of how much memory has been allocated, and on a second click,
how much this has changed. The undo stack seems to consume
about 1500 bytes for a simple brush move; I set this to 0 for
leak hunting.
QuArK Snapshot of 2002feb24
===========================
* [Decker] Added some Medal of Honor:Allied Assault support. Not
much, as the buildtools for maps (.BSP files and such) have not
yet been released, nor have entity-describtions.
* [Decker] The buildtools-setup for Return to Castle Wolfenstein is
now configured for GTKRadiant's Q3MAP.EXE program.
* [Andy/Decker] Added .PNG images file support, though only
8-bits/paletted images shown in QuArK's texture-browser. This
means that any 24-bits .PNG images will not show correctly in
QuArK. (Programmers note: Duplicated ZLib code. Should try to
only use source\components\zip, and eliminate the need for
source\components\PNGZlib.PAS and source\components\*.OBJ)
* [Andy/Decker] Added Tribes 2 .VL2 and .CS-script files
support. Note that .VL2 files are actually .ZIP files, just like
.PK3 files are, so if you're not happy with the way QuArK
handles .VL2 files, you can use WinZIP or any other
ZIP-utility. And .CS files are just plain text-files, so use
your favorite "NotePad"-editor.
QuArK Snapshot of 2002jan06
===========================
* [Decker] Added Return to Castle Wolfenstein game-support, though
the buildtools-setup for RTCW isn't configured properly yet.
* [Decker] Maybe fixed the problem, of endlessly occuring dialog-
boxes, which asked if QuArK should save modified files
now. Usually this happened, when using the "Create new
texture-links" in the Texture Browser, and just continued to
work within QuArK. (See revision 1.29 of Qk1.PAS)
Patch2 to O80601 Snapshot
=========================
* 'hlradfilemaker' duplicator plugin.
* 'symxyz' duplicator with toggleable axes.
* 'Adjust Angles Automatically' Menu Option and 'Auto-Adjust Normal'
Map option renamed to `Quantize angles'
* usercenters now transform with containing groups under linear
mapping
* Q3A CDROM config now works.
* fix bugs in snap object (separation, when selected or tagged face
is horizontal)
* refurbish slide poly etc plugin; now works wrt tagged plane as well
as tagged edge
* Some Half-Life config fixes (see DataHL.qrk changelog)
Patch1 to 080601 Snaphsot
=========================
* reset texture cycle command, so that the texture cycle files can be
edited, and results seen in the same editing session
* 'snap object to tagged' menu item: if a face is tagged, select a
face, then a parental object from the menu, then 'snap object to
tagged'. Object will move and rotate that selected face is
oriented parallel to tagged one, with specified separation.
QuArK Snapshot of 080601
========================
Changes from 070901:
*Multiple selection list browser:
when there is a multiple selection, menu-items and a hotkey
are activated to list the selected items in a dialog, from
which the members can be further selected.
*Texture substitution cycle for standard duplicators
(basic, linear): give the specific tex_sub the name
of a file such as texcycle.txt. The file should
have a list of texture names on each line, whitespace-
separated, e.g.:
gothic_block/block10d gothic_block/blocks10
*clear mark command.
*threepoint plane can now glue to tagged plane
*BSP Support:
- all bsp's viewed except for Sin (patches omitted from Q3A/STVEF)
- entity lumps now edit correctly (comments no longer mis-written
into them)
- bsp exploration facilities:
due to less memory use & chance of accidental
save.
Command menu items for collecting nodes & planes;
these appear in the treeview. Large maps can't show
all the planes in the treeview.
When asked whether to save changes, don't.
There are also some facilities for finding planes
that lie near others: first you get ones that have
close neighbors, then you can collect those neighbors,
then browse the group (including opening the nodes to
find the nodes split by a given plane).
*Blue Shift pak's now open
*Crystal Space Support:
beziers & new build tool for Crystal Space support
*6DX support:
-Start room removed for 6DX
- *.hmf file support added for 6dx, map checks disabled.
6dx default map needs textures added to it
(in data6dx.qrk)
QuArK Snapshot 070901
Changes from 081801
*Preliminary 6DX support
*Cleanup of Crystal Space Support
*arg replacer added to duplicator list (see infobase
for usage)
*some extruder bugs fixed
*path dup texture bug fixed
*'elbows' for path dup reinstated and tested
(made elbow segs by putting path dup template
copy into elbow template & glueing and pasting
do dissociated path dup; didn't leak)
*texture browser search bug fixed
QuArK Snapshot 061801
Changes from 052101
4 Users:
*texture search button in texture browser
*storeable 3d camera positions
- add them on the 3d view eye handles & background
RMB menus
- they appear in the map and treeview like
duplicators, can be dragged, deleted, etc
like ordinary map objects
- set and store view menu items on their RMB
- if multiple views are open, these commands use
the last 3d view clicked on (usually, doesn't
quite always seem to work, dunno why)
- cycle the ones in a group with prev/next +
'C' depressed (should be made user-configurable)
- find camera positions dialog on search menu
*extruder 'revert to duplicator' now imports
texture changes back to duplicator, so you can
texture at least the first segment of the extruder
by dissociating images, then change shape by revert
to duplicator. Hopefully useful when 1-segment
extruder is put into path duplicator.
*group selection movement commands (swap & align,
suggested by Alan Donald and quantum_red)
*due north path duplicator bug fixed
*menu promotion/demotion added to the basic distribution
*incrementable specifics added to basic, linear, symx/y/z
and Copy/New Copy One duplicators.
- If 'increment' specific is checked, then target,
targetname and killtarget specifics ending in
a string of digits have the digid string incremented
in the sequence.
- if 'incr. all targ. specific is checked, all specifics
whose name contains 'target' get incremented.
- any specifics listed in 'incrementable; are also
incremented.
- if 'final_target' has a value, this is used as the
'target' value in the last image. Likewise
for 'final_killtarget' etc.
- if 'increment by' has a value, then this is used
as the increment, rather than 1. This can be
used to use increments with nested duplicators,
if the outer one increments by 10 and the inner
by 1, you can have an Nx9 grid,etc.
- if 'incre_lip' has a value, then that value is
used to increment the 'lip' speciric, likewise
incre_<spec> for any other choice of <spec>.
- for (New) Copy One, each duplictor needs a different
'increment by' value (otherwise crosstalk).
Limitation: Doesn't work for symxy and
Radial duplicators (yet; if you want it to,
holler).
*corrections to the 'vertex movement' plugin (this is
still basically experimental)
*new 3 point plane stuff:
a) introduce one from New Map Items|tools, drag
the handles around and tag it, the glue, cut
etc.
b) use tag plane command after tagging an edge
Under the hood:
*entity conversion (fgd->qrk) tools pythonified
*'Code Code' specific for toolbarbuttons (tbbtn) and
the python buttons (Typ="P" only).
Example for tbbtn:
search1:tbbtn = {
Typ = "P"
Cap = "Search"
Code = "import plugins.tex_search; plugins.tex_search.openbox()"
}
GetEntitiesBtn: =
{
Typ = "P"
Cap = "Get entities for this game"
Code = "import quarkx; quarkx.beep()"
}
will execute the python string in the Code specifics.
63 Snapshot 052101
Changes from 050701:
*Bsp opening bug in 050701 fixed
*Map writing altered for brush primitives, Valve mapversion
220, and 'No TX comments' mode so that if integral or
almost integral vertexes for a face are found, they are
used as its threepoints. This enables better export
of maps to editors and tools that don't support fp
coordinates.
*'thin face' finder added (similar to microbrush h/k);
detect & remove suspiciously thin faces.
*when an 'out' duplicator is dissociated, all
other 'out' dups in its immediate group are
dissociated also
*caulk of hidden faces added to brush curves & extruder
(default tex used for games w/o a caulk texture)
*wrong shape for non-inner non-inverse cap/bevels
fixed (missing faces added)
*'linear' (matrix) specific editor.
try out with New Copy One duplicator, push button
to call up editing dialog.
*matrix2 support changed to linear in radial dup.
*rotate/scale specifics removed from linearform
*linear duplicators changed to so that by default,
mappings apply around 'usercenter' of each item
in their group, rather than duplicator location
-- group
|
---- linear duplicator
|
----- group: if this group has a usercenter,
| and the dup has a linear specific,
| the mapping will apply with the
| usercenter as fixed point
|
------group: ditto for this one (each around
its own center, seems wierd but
features of the code make it tricky
to do otherwise).
old behavior can be restored by unchecking 'item center'.
*support for the commercial counterstrike/hl
expansion.
*Hollowmaker/Wallmaker bug fixed
*debug writing 'left' to console bug fixed
Changes from Snapshot 042801
*Dragging on RMB blocked. If anyone wants it back, an option
could be provided.
*instance duplicator removed from toolbox, pushing
'instance' drops it into path dup, where it
dumps things at the path points. linear stuff
removed from path point forms, prolly not useful
New Copy One does that stuff better.
*extruder functionality extended. RMB menu has
items for punching holes in things (e.g. putting
a pipe thru a wall w/o overlap). After 'dissociate
images', RMB on the resulting group has an 'Extruder
Stuff' submenu with the hole-punching, some texturing
stuff that doesn't work right, and a 'revert' that
restores the duplicator.
*New Copy One duplicator, implementing ideas of Rolf
Hulsbergen (better than Instance Dup, for many
purposes): drop NCO into group like ordinary
duplicator , drag image away with handle, use scale\
& rotation fields to rotate around dup location.
*rotation specific for linear & other dups changed
to Typ E, so that rotation handles will work.
*wrap texture from tagged works for parallel faces
*wrap texture hotkey works.
*forms creation added to forms editor
*stvef maps now readable (no more reversion to Q3A mode,
if in STVEF mode)
Changes from Snapshot 042001:
*RMB Menus for the Texture L handles: (tiglari)
glue/align to tagged.
*Reimplementation of addon builder: (Andy) still crashes on
missionpack, this can be avoided by extracting the .bsp's &
temporarily giving the .pk3 a different extension.
*Selection menu: (tiglari, major Decker design input)
change selection to Parent, Next, Previous in group.
(no 'type' selections yet)
*Reorganize/Navigate tree added to bezier RMB
*having 'F' depressed with LMB will now select a face of current
poly, rather than next poly.
Changes from 6.2:
*Customizable hot keys: (tiglari)
Perhaps more hot keys should be added. Which ones?
*Custom Centers for groups: (tiglari)
various linear matrix operations (rotations etc)
will use these if present
*'scale' and 'rotation' specifics: (tiglari)
for Linear & some other duplicators. Does the
work of 'linear' but more perspicuously.
*Extuder: (tiglari)
Makes solid & hollow pipes from 2d outline. Put
into path duplicator to extrude along path.
*Instance Duplicator: (tiglari)
For lots of copies in various places, idependent
scale & rotation.
*Entity Extractor: (Andy)
I see some problem, not sure if I'm using it right.
*Merge Polys in Group: (tiglari)
Mergeable polys in a group are merged. Not guaranteed
optimal.
