Wiimms SZS Tools v1.17a r4358 - News

szs v1.17a r4358 - 2013-04-23
- Moonview slot proposal optimized.

- KMP check: Print a hint, if 200 or more global objects are defined.

- Option --fast overrides compression rates set by --norm or --compr=list.

- New --kcl mode: FIX-ALL: Short cut for DROP,RM,NEW,LOG.

- New option: --autoadd-path=dir: Define a path for the auto-add library
and override the default search pathes.

- New option: --mdl=list: Define a MDL patching method. VERTEX patching is
used by default.

- New option for wszst: --patch-file=list: Define, which kind of KMP, KCL and
BRRES/MDL files are objects for patching. The default is to patch only the
main KMP and KCL files and the MODEL and MAP files. --pfile is a short cut
for --patch-file.

- New name for option --hrot: --yrot

- New options: --xrot, --yrot, --zrot, --ypos: Options --xrot, --zrot and
--ypos are really new for X+Z rotation and --yrot is only a alternative
name for --hrot. See built in help for impact.

- New option: --translate: Works like --shift, but is done after the
rotation. This is similar to the MDL transformations, that works in the
order scale, x-rotate, y-rotate, z-rotate, translate.

- New command for testing: wszst MATRIX: Use the transformation options as
base and calculate and print the related vectors and the tranformation
matrices. Then execute the transformations for each vector (parameter).

- ATTENTION: Because of the new 3D rotation support, a new rotation
algorithm has been implemented. Implementation bugs are not impossible.

- ATTENTION: All new patching options are EXPERIMENTAL!

szs v1.16a r4313 - 2013-04-08
- Bug fix for BTI detection (reduce false positives).

- wkmpt COBJECT --draw=ckpt: Draw lines to next point and to point linked
by the 'next' member.

- New command: wszst ENCODE: Works like wszst CREATE, but will not create a
first level archive. The intension is to create and update all subfiles.
'wszst ENCODE' can be used as a prepararion before using 'wszst UPDATE'.

- New mode for --kmp: FIX-CKNEXT: Automatic calculation of the 'prev' and
'next' links of KMP section CKPT.
See http://szs.wiimm.de/opt/kmp for details.

- Slot 4.2 detection: Improved 'moonview' detection, because MDL.s10
'polygon11' and 'polygon60' are searched and their size is checked.

- Command 'wszst SLOTS': Slots are assigned to output columns now.

- Windows 'SendTo' commands: Fix handling of filenames with spaces.
Reinstall the SendTo files with 'sendto-install.bat'.

- New Windows 'SendTo' commands:
- clean-KCL-of-SZS: Normalize a SZS, drop unneeded KCL triangles and
rebuild the KCL octree.
- adjust-minimap: Adjust the minimap of SZS, BRRES and MDL files.

- Object DB updated.


Known bugs:

- Re creating the files Track.szs, Race.szs and other language independent
szs files of MKWii directory ./Scene/UI will force a black screen. Use the
UPDATE command instead.

szs v1.15a r4300 - 2013-03-28
- New docu file: INSTALL.txt

- Mac+Linux+Unix: Script 'install.sh' will call itself with 'sudo' if not
started by user 'root'. Read INSTALL.txt for details.

- Windows: Cygwin updated.

- Better detection of UTF-8 files with byte order mark (BOM). Tool wbmgt will
accept those files now.

- Bug fix: wbmgt CAT: The option --patch is now processed.

- Bug fix: wbmgt ENCODE: Wrong file naming fixed.

- Bug fix: Option --kcl: If no 'DROP*' mode is set, the tools drops all bad
triangles automatically. For an existing octree, it is only 'DROP-UNUSED'.

- Check KCL+KMP: The checks are now done after patching.

- New option --kmp=modes: It works like --kcl=modes to define KMP jobs and
modes. The first modes are:
- NEW : Scan KMP and create a new one.
- RM-SPCITEM : Clear 'special items for players' setting of the 6 item box
object types.
- FIX-CKPH : Fix the section CKPH.
- FIX-ENPH : Fix the section ENPH.
- FIX-ITPH : Fix the section ITPH.
- FIX-PH : Short cut for: FIX-CKPH,FIX-ENPH,FIX-ITPH.
- INPLACE : Force inplace replacing of KMP files (old mode).
- LOG : Debug: Enable KMP specific logging.
The fix modes are EXPERIMENTAL!
