Editing April 27 2025 build

{{OB}}{{db}}
This build mainly includes the new VMConsole system. VMConsole is a new unix#like console component of Virtual Manager, and it lets you know operate more of the simulator from the in-app console. I also added support for a threaded text-based console when you turn the in-app console off, this is mainly used for Unix/Linux systems. This new system changed some critical sections of code, and so watch out for any crashes, so far I've cleaned up the ones I could find.

Some other things added:
#blinking directional indicators, this can be enabled by changing "Skyscraper.SBS.DirectionalIndicator.Blink" in the INI file.
#added the PrimCollider command, which lets you turn off or change colliders on primitives, previously they would always use a standard collider
#I split the [[Help:Design Guide|script guide]] into multiple HTML files, and started the new Skyscraper User's Guide
#the console now supports colors on Linux and Mac, Windows doesn't appear to support it yet.

New VMConsole commands:
#shutdown
#setactive
#reload
#switch
#vminit
#boot
#vmload
#version
#start
#ps
#date
#uptime
#help
#arch
#platform
#uname
#profile

For an example of using the new console commands, when the simulator starts and pauses at the main menu, type these commands one by one into the console window and click Send for each one:
#vminit
#boot

These commands will create a sim engine instance, set the default building environment, and boot the SBS sim engine. Type "help" to see the commands and their available options. Certain commands are designed to imitate Unix somewhat, such as "ps" for showing the engine process list, "uptime" for showing the SBS engine uptime, etc.
