{{legit}}{{Db2}}
'''Skyscrapersim 2.0 Alpha 10 / 1.10''' was the 11th release of the 2.0 releases. It was released on December 19, 2016. This version has 33 builds.
== Changelog ==
#added support for revolving doors
#when in fire service phase 2 mode, only open phase 2's car doors on recall floor, not other cars
#added "PeakOff" action, and updated documentation
#reset mouse cursor when exiting to main menu
#FinishMove should turn on floor that the camera is active on, instead of the elevator's GotoFloor
#update naming of directional indicator meshes
#show main object name instead of mesh name, for click reports
#FinishDoors function should show a script error if it fails
#show an error if a scene node is not created properly
#when freelook is enabled in an engine, the mouse cursor needs to be updated when switching engines. This also consolidates the related freelook code into a function.
#values need to be cleared when switching engines
#fixes for reported issues with multi-car support
#for the "Elevator:Car" script parameter, if just the elevator is specified, the code should find the car that services the floor, instead of just using the first car
#added INI file and script "HoistwayAccessHold" option
#added object OnUnclick function, which is called when a mouse button is released on an object
#Hoistway Access mode now uses constant pressure on the switches to work, which can be turned off
#actions can now have a "hold" state, which requires that a control have constant pressure to prevent it from reverting to (normally) an "off" position. Used for Hoistway Access mode
#fixes for ShowMenu behavior and command line "no-menu" option
#added CheckScript mode, which allows scripts to be quickly checked for errors, instead of fully loading them
#fix for the "Stairwells" string match in the GetObjectRange function
#cleanups, found via cppcheck
#memory leak fix for Dynamic Mesh system - the mVertexElements array needs to be deleted on return
#(Scripts) added a check to ensure that a floor's altitude is properly set at the end of a Floor section
#(Scripts) move end-of-section code into per-section functions
#brought back ComputeNormal function, which was removed in revision 4679, due to precision issues causing certain walls to display improperly. The issue appears to be due to Ogre's Plane function calculating in double-precision mode, with the ComputeNormal calculating in single-precision, so a workaround has to be found for Ogre.
#character controller should remove itself from Bullet world on delete
#call buttons should not store pointers to control objects; this fix now allows for the call button's controls to be deleted
#call button actions can now be used from scripts, and details have been added to the guide
#add note about how leaving the "texture" parameter blank for the button panel, will hide the back
#revamped Call Button objects:
#-action system now supports Call Button actions
#-made Button Panel code generic (removed dependency on Elevator Cars), so that it can be used with multiple types of parents
#-switched Call Button object to use a Button Panel as it's button canvas
#objects need to unregister their dynamic runloops on deletion
#added virtual OnClick function for objects
#shut down resource manager on exit
#have character controller properly clean up objects when deleted
#call button timer should quickly fire on the first shot, before waiting a longer interval for future processing
#added support for dynamic runloops, which should help reduce per-frame loop overhead. This functionality allows objects to optionally register themselves with their parents to activate/deactivate their runloops, and then the parent calls a LoopChildren() function to run all registered child loops
#door movement now uses a standard parent runloop method, instead of a main simulator callback
#have call buttons use a Timer object for processing the call loop (frequency set to 1 second), instead of using a callback entry in the simulator root
#fixed a loop issue in the ProcessGotoFloor function that was causing some elevator cars to be skipped
#fixed problem in FinishMove function, where the call button arrival notification was only checking the arrival direction of the primary floor call, not ones for other cars
#when adding an elevator route, the car number should be reported if the elevator has more than 1 car
#when enabling Hoistway Access, require shaft doors to be open on the specified floor
#Hoistway Access switch should cause elevator to move, instead of separately using inspection service controls
#add profiling to ElevatorCar loop
#moved Camera loop code and timing code into standard Loop function
#renamed SBS MainLoop to standard object "Loop", and moved camera loop call to end of SBS loop
#have ResetBuilding function be used as the standard object's ResetState function, and have it also reset the camera state if the camera's active. This allows the SBS engine root to be reset, to reset the building state.
#removed SegmentPlane function
#removed and replaced old Classify function with an AABB test
#Cut function now skips polygons that are completely inside the cutting area, instead of needlessly processing over them and not getting cut results
#removed old point-on-polygon/findwall code
#removed old ComputeNormal function
#intersection functions need to convert the polygon's relative plane to absolute positioning
#fixed computing of stored polygon plane, and polygon intersection functions now used the stored plane instead of computing one
#engines shouldn't automatically make themselves the active engine on entry, if they're an ancestor of the active engine. This fixes issues where overlapping engines' activations would bounce back and forth, causing colliders to fall through the ground, and wrong engines being selected
#moved shared script section variables into a separate Config Handler object, mainly to fix an issue where the shared variables were never reset on script interpreter shutdown/startup
#make sure elevator's CreateElevator function returns with error if the primary car has an error
#added key switch textures for Hoistway Access
#added "selection_position" parameter to Control object (AddControl and AddActionControl commands), which allows you to specify the starting selection position

#make sure profiler is cleaned up when window exits
#update profiler statistics every 10 frames instead of continuously
#added more performance metrics for the Profiler
#properly group radio buttons in Elevator Editor
#CameraState should store FOV value, so that the camera's FOV will be persistent when switching engines
#added "[[Simple - Top Box]]" building
#if a texture load fails, the texture resource needs to be removed afterwards. This fixes an issue where the failed texture would show up as loaded, during a reload
#if elevator doors are open due to the elevator waiting in a peak mode, don't reset the door timers when a call button on the same floor is pressed
#(OpenGL only) use standard texture copy method if dimensions are the same, to try to remedy texture copy crashes mainly on systems with Intel graphics, with small non-pow2 textures
#set name of FMod audio client, used with PulseAudio on Linux
#enhanced setting of adjusted floor 0 altitudes
#if floor 0 is created after floor -1, adjust floor 0 based on floor -1's altitude
#when creating basement floors, if floor 0 is created first, properly calculate floor -1's altitude offset based on floor 0, instead of assuming a default value

#misc positioning fixes and cleanups
#elevator music sound is now positioned properly on startup, instead of at start of play
#elevator object positioning cleanups
#fixed typo (extra '-1') in IntersectRay function, fixes wall click issues
#fixes to elevator CameraOffset value, to allow user to move on top of an elevator while it's moving
#elevators now use move functions to set altitude; user can now jump and move vertically in elevator
#added camera movement function that uses SetPosition instead of character movement
#more GIF transparency fixes; added parsing of packed field to properly get transparency flag
#removed Mac screen adjustment code, due to fixes in Ogre 1.9
#prevent GTK checks on OSX
#fixed issues with Mount command
#([[Triton Center]]) transfer hallway fixes.

#fixed GIF transparency detection; should scan for extension marker instead of accessing directly
#([[Sears Tower]]) shaft range fixes, and fixed issues with Zone 2 42-49 locals
#([[Sears Tower]]) new exterior textures
#([[Sears Tower]]) separated exterior into window frames and interfloor segments
#([[Sears Tower]]) misc tweaks

#([[Sears Tower]]) repositioned stop buttons
#floor description fixes for [[Sears Tower]] and [[Observation Tower]] buildings
#([[Sears Tower]]) zone 1 mechanical fixes
#([[Sears Tower]]) increased interfloor heights to 3ft
#([[Sears Tower]]) removed extra Call Cancel buttons
#visible mesh listing now shows submesh count
#added ListVisibleMeshes function and script command
#added description variable for floors
#added floorname, floorid and floortype variables to the floor section of the script interpreter
#added option to reset object state to the Object Information window, and made inactive Save Script button hidden
#removed separate Name variables, to use Object name instead
#removed redundant SetPolygonName function
#move polygon-specific code into polygon class
#made certain elements private in wall object
#rename "object" to "raw_object" in Object's SetValues function
#rename reference of "handle" to "polygon"
#moved polygon code to separate file
#added basic movement support to wall objects, which works by modifying vertices
#fixed a divide-by-zero issue in the elevator braking code
#make sure parent_deleting flag is set properly in destructors for all child objects
#elevator shaft door wrappers can now be deleted separately
#delay creation of elevator shaft door wrappers
#floor info now reports which stairwells and shafts span the floor
#moved floor info code into floor object
#floor information now shows a list of elevators that service the floor
#([[Sears Tower]]) updated elevator button/control commands
#([[Sears Tower]]) floors 90 and 100-102 are now locked
#([[Sears Tower]]) split off separate upper service elevator, for floors 90-106
#ResetState functionality is now abstracted from the core Object class, and the implementation has been simplified
#added ability to reset elevator door states, mainly in case of door malfunction
#([[Triton Center]]) lower level wall fixes
#([[Triton Center]]) lobby positioning fixes
#([[Glass Tower]]) fix extra instance of interior windows on 137
#found that the ObjectCount value wasn't being initialized before registering SBS root object
#simplified object system; object type is now inherited by sim objects
#don't turn on starting and ending floor shaft doors during elevator init
#elevator sounds need to be positioned from elevator center
#fixed positioning issue in stairs controls
#stairwell objects (models, action controls, etc) need to be offset of the floor base, not altitude
#MaxSmallRenderDistance now works due to new positioning system
#new object positioning system
#report error if no height specified in AddWallMain function
#report error and exit if no height specified when calling AddFillerWalls
#fixed invalid coordinate check in AddFloorMain function
#default texture tiling to 1.0 if 0 is specified during texture load
#wxWidgets 3.0 support
#added CameraTexture object
#added FindPolygon mesh function and simplified code
#moved GetPoint, GetWallExtents, and GetExtents functions to the MeshObject class
#elevator and floor creation should return created object
#don't leave top and bottom levels of shafts on - this doesn't appear to be needed anymore, and should increase rendering efficiency
