Wiimms SZS Tools v1.31a r4828 - News

szs v1.31a r4828 - 2014-01-03

- BMG handling: \c{color} escape sequences in text output are now enabled by default. To be compatible with old tool versions (v1.22a released at 2013-09-14 and older versions), use option --no-color.

- wctct: Support of hex coded filenames for the 32 original tracks.

- Windows only: Cygwin update to v1.7.27 2013-12-09.

- New option: wstrt --all-ranks: Manipulate a query for Nintendos servers, so that all players in a region are found independent of their ranking points.

szs v1.30a r4810 - 2013-12-27

- Object export (wkclt DECODE & wkmpt DRAW):
- The default for normals changed. Normals will only be included if the keyword NORMALS of option --kcl is set. The new default is better for the SketchUp OBJ importer plugin in time and correctness.
- The ambient color of the material 'Ka' is not longer defined.
- Bug fix: If the object needed more than 65535 vertices, then a wrong OBJ was written with indices modulo 65536.

- wkmpt DRAW: The following objects are drawn in correct size and with a recognizable form and color: itembox, obakeblockSFC*, dokan*, karehayama and all trees.

- KCL: Improved error system, if a KCL has more than 65535 normals. Before aborting, the normals are rounded in multiple steps to find duplicates.

szs v1.29a r4788 - 2013-12-13

- Command 'wkmpt COBJECT' was renamed to the more intuitive name 'wkmpt DRAW'. The old command name can still be used.

- Option --draw has now a short twin: -w

- Option --draw supports the new keyword SOLIDOBJECTS: Draw all solid objects without any route as a blue octahedron. At the moment, the native object size, scaling and rotation are ignored.

- Command 'wkmpt DRAW --draw ITEMBOXES' draws itemboxes like in-game as a grey cube with a vertex down. The color for itemboxes with special items for players or enemies is dark grey.

- New KCL script functions: tri$createOctahedron(), tri$createAntiPrism() and tri$createAntiArrow().

szs v1.28a r4771 - 2013-12-09

- There was a disorder using the escape sequences '%E' and '%T' for file extensions/types. '%E' included a leading point, '%T' only sometimes. Henceforth both will include then leading '.' or are empty, if no file extension is available. So the earlier '%N.%T' becomes '%N%T'.

- Command wkmpt COBJECT will now also draw the start position with area, the respawn positions with area, the POTI routes and standard itemboxes. See http://szs.wiimm.de/opt/draw for details.

- Command wkmpt COBJECT: Check points with quadrilateral warnings are drawn in red. This option can be disabled by --draw=-warn.

- New KMP check: Test, if all enemy and item root points are inside of at least one convex check point quadrilateral.

szs v1.27a r4742 - 2013-11-24

- Bug fix: Occasional a triangle was marked as invalid by mistake, if it was inserted by the script function tri$create() (option --kcl-script).

- Minimap fixing: From now the minmum and maximum values of the MDL.s1 root are set too.

- KMP check: A test added, which controls, that the check points are not to near together and that they build convex quadrilaterals.
See http://szs.wiimm.de/cmd/wkmpt/check#desc for check details.

- KMP check: Some WARNINGS are HINTS now.

- New transformation option: --tform-script=script
The script is loaded and a macro is called for every vertex. So it is possible to add user defined and also non linear transformations.
See http://szs.wiimm.de/opt/tform-script for details.

- New parser functions: status(), len2(), hlen2(), sideOfLine(), ptInConvexPolygon(), ptsInConvexTri(), ptsInConvexQuad().
See http://szs.wiimm.de/cmd/wszst/functions#desc for details.

szs v1.26a r4726 - 2013-11-10

- Bug fix: A patched file was not marked as dirty (and not written), if only BMG was patched and only with modes 'ID' or 'ID-ALL'.

- New option --export (-X): Enable the export modus and create small and machine readable text files for easy post processing. The option works similar like -HBB for KMP and like -HBl11 for BMG text files.

- Windows version only: Update to Cygwin v1.7.25. I hope that it fixes the bug that occurred during creation of MKW-Fun 2013-10 with Windows 8.1.
