show main object name instead of mesh name, for click reports
FinishDoors function should show a script error if it fails

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

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

(Sears Tower) Express elevators are now real double-decker elevators
added "Simple - Double Decker" building
added elevator double-decker (multi-car) support
fixed issue where an elevator in Fire Service Phase 2 mode wouldn't put doors into nudge mode, when recalled from lobby (Phase 1 mode re-enabled)
added elevator ChimeOnArrival parameter
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

added "isexternal" parameter to AddFillerWalls script command
(Triton Center) have exterior doors use new External Doors feature
fix for AddShaftStdDoor command
added AddExternalDoor script command
(Glass Tower) service elevator button arrangement fix
floor indicators need to use proper texture prefix when created
when elevator doors are being manually opened (shift-click), shift-clicking again will stop the doors
when an elevator checks if it's available for a call, the interlock check should skip the current elevator floor to prevent issues, since that check is done later
disable the door sensor if the elevator is waiting in a peak mode
elevator interlock check should be skipped if the elevator is waiting in a peak mode

engines should re-cut for child engines on reload
moved RenderOnStartup override into Engine Context, to allow the option when reloading a building
if a user walks outside of all engine boundaries, revert their movement so they stay within the active engine

added CreateWallObject and AddPolygon script commands
have CreateWallBox and AddDoorwayWalls functions automatically create wall objects
fixed an issue where the AddCustomWall, AddCustomFloor and AddTriangleWall commands were double-adjusting the stored per-texture sizing info. This bug appeared during the CS 1.8 development, and so is not present in Alpha 7.
made new AddPolygon function, and moved the AddCustomWall functionality into it
the AddTriangleWall, CreateWallBox and CreateWallBox2 commands weren't working properly when Elevator meshes were specified, due to being disabled from a Genmesh transition in 2010.
Prepare() function should create 32-bit index buffers if the number of vertices goes outside of the 16-bit range, and especially to prevent a short integer overflow (fix for EG881's 'Landscapes' test)

have sound system properly handle engine offsets and rotations
added parent/child support for engines, and added the ability for a parent engine to be cut for a child engine's bounds
