Changelog

1. added support for revolving doors
2. when in fire service phase 2 mode, only open phase 2's car doors on recall floor, not other cars
3. added "PeakOff" action, and updated documentation
4. reset mouse cursor when exiting to main menu
5. FinishMove should turn on floor that the camera is active on, instead of the elevator's GotoFloor
6. update naming of directional indicator meshes
7. show main object name instead of mesh name, for click reports
8. FinishDoors function should show a script error if it fails
9. show an error if a scene node is not created properly
10. 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.
11. values need to be cleared when switching engines
12. fixes for reported issues with multi-car support
13. 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
14. added INI file and script "HoistwayAccessHold" option
15. added object OnUnclick function, which is called when a mouse button is released on an object
16. Hoistway Access mode now uses constant pressure on the switches to work, which can be turned off
17. 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
18. fixes for ShowMenu behavior and command line "no-menu" option
19. added CheckScript mode, which allows scripts to be quickly checked for errors, instead of fully loading them
20. fix for the "Stairwells" string match in the GetObjectRange function
21. cleanups, found via cppcheck
22. memory leak fix for Dynamic Mesh system - the mVertexElements array needs to be deleted on return
23. (Scripts) added a check to ensure that a floor's altitude is properly set at the end of a Floor section
24. (Scripts) move end-of-section code into per-section functions
25. 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.
26. character controller should remove itself from Bullet world on delete
27. call buttons should not store pointers to control objects; this fix now allows for the call button's controls to be deleted
28. call button actions can now be used from scripts, and details have been added to the guide
29. add note about how leaving the "texture" parameter blank for the button panel, will hide the back
30. revamped Call Button objects:
31. -action system now supports Call Button actions
32. -made Button Panel code generic (removed dependency on Elevator Cars), so that it can be used with multiple types of parents
33. -switched Call Button object to use a Button Panel as it's button canvas
34. objects need to unregister their dynamic runloops on deletion
35. added virtual OnClick function for objects
36. shut down resource manager on exit
37. have character controller properly clean up objects when deleted
38. call button timer should quickly fire on the first shot, before waiting a longer interval for future processing
39. 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
40. door movement now uses a standard parent runloop method, instead of a main simulator callback
41. 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
42. fixed a loop issue in the ProcessGotoFloor function that was causing some elevator cars to be skipped
43. 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
44. when adding an elevator route, the car number should be reported if the elevator has more than 1 car
45. when enabling Hoistway Access, require shaft doors to be open on the specified floor
46. Hoistway Access switch should cause elevator to move, instead of separately using inspection service controls
47. add profiling to ElevatorCar loop
48. moved Camera loop code and timing code into standard Loop function
49. renamed SBS MainLoop to standard object "Loop", and moved camera loop call to end of SBS loop
50. 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.
51. removed SegmentPlane function
52. removed and replaced old Classify function with an AABB test
53. Cut function now skips polygons that are completely inside the cutting area, instead of needlessly processing over them and not getting cut results
54. removed old point-on-polygon/findwall code
55. removed old ComputeNormal function
56. intersection functions need to convert the polygon's relative plane to absolute positioning
57. fixed computing of stored polygon plane, and polygon intersection functions now used the stored plane instead of computing one
58. 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
59. 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
60. make sure elevator's CreateElevator function returns with error if the primary car has an error
61. added key switch textures for Hoistway Access
62. added "selection_position" parameter to Control object (AddControl and AddActionControl commands), which allows you to specify the starting selection position
63. added "Simple - Hoistway Access" building
64. Move Object window needs to keep the SBS engine pointer current, otherwise a crash can happen when reloading a building
65. split Script Processor out into multiple files and classes
66. added Hoistway Access mode feature
67. added missing ReOpen elevator parameter to script interpreter, and fixed script guide
68. fixed an issue where nudge mode would not activate properly when an elevator in Fire Phase 2 mode was recalled to the lobby
69. added top-level Ogre exception handler, which should help with error reports
70. (Sears Tower) Express elevators are now real double-decker elevators
71. added "Simple - Double Decker" building
72. added elevator double-decker (multi-car) support
73. 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)
74. added elevator ChimeOnArrival parameter
75. make sure profiler is cleaned up when window exits
76. update profiler statistics every 10 frames instead of continuously
77. added more performance metrics for the Profiler
78. properly group radio buttons in Elevator Editor
79. CameraState should store FOV value, so that the camera's FOV will be persistent when switching engines
80. added "Simple - Top Box" building
81. 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
82. 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
83. (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
84. set name of FMod audio client, used with PulseAudio on Linux
85. enhanced setting of adjusted floor 0 altitudes
86. if floor 0 is created after floor -1, adjust floor 0 based on floor -1's altitude
87. 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
88. frontend size_t migrations, to simplify loop code
89. disable double-buffer fps fix in Windows, due to an issue where the screen turns black on fullscreen
90. removed old Windows-only CodeBlocks file, and rename Linux one
91. added converted Mac icon, and added Mac bundle data into tools folder

93. DeleteButtons should be run in Load function
94. added building "open with" load support for Mac systems
95. app should switch current working directory to executable's directory on start, which allows double-clicking on building files outside of the app to start
96. added command line options for fullscreen and no-panel modes
97. added command line options to disable the intro music, show version and enable verbose mode
98. added command line options for showing/hiding the console and main menu

113. floor indicators need to use proper texture prefix when created
114. when elevator doors are being manually opened (shift-click), shift-clicking again will stop the doors
115. 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
116. disable the door sensor if the elevator is waiting in a peak mode
117. elevator interlock check should be skipped if the elevator is waiting in a peak mode
118. added an "always" value to the ShowFullStairs command, which allows a stairwell to always be fully shown, like the ShowFullShaft command does with shafts
119. added INI file option to switch off the Dynamic Mesh's auto combiner
120. wxWidgets string cleanups
121. SwitchEngines function should try to switch to active engine's parent, if possible
122. elevator doors should only set "hold" option if not moving manually
123. for door re-openings, only issue a re-open on doors that are moving
124. position command in Globals section needs to recursively move child engines when run
125. fixed an issue where the Position command in the Globals script section wouldn't work for buildings loaded in nested Buildings sections
126. have CutForEngine function pass engine cut operation to parent, mainly so that nested Buildings sections in code will cut the top-level engine properly
127. child engine positions need to be set relative of their parent engine

151. fixed an issue where physical models would not properly stay in elevators
152. header rework, to improve compiling performance
153. created new TextureManager object, for texture-related functions
154. added a Move button to the Engine Manager dialog, to allow moving sim engines
155. show the control reference when pressing the F1 key
156. changed 'faces' to 'triangles' for F2 key function

164. (OgreBullet) manually update static collider bounding boxes, to improve performance
165. adjust freelook speed for frame rate
166. moved mainscreen code into separate file
167. added event-driven keyboard and mouse input system
168. reworked code that handles persistent shaft doors, so that they only stay persistent when the camera is active in that engine
169. removed extra shaft door disable code, since mesh disabling code should be run after the simulator startup, to prevent new colliders being added to disabled meshes
170. simplified triangle index array in PolyMesh system, to prevent an extra vertex copy operation. This removes the TriangleMesh type and reuses TriangleIndices instead
171. moved Triangle code into separate header file, and added operator functions
172. renamed TriangleType to Triangle, due to SBS namespace addition
173. disable elevators in shafts that have ShowFloors disabled, when leaving/resetting building
174. turn off shafts and stairwells when resetting building
175. make sure destobject-specified models are custom models, not loaded models
176. disable Caelum sky system when switching to wireframe mode, to hide the sky triangles
177. added mention of subfolders for Buildings section Load command
178. when switching to fullscreen on Windows, enable double-buffering on the window to fix performance issues
179. have Global AddWall/AddFloor commands use a specified mesh object directly instead of processing a string internally - this also fixes a crash if no valid mesh was found in the functions.
180. have AddGround also draw underside of landscape
181. when inserting another script file, script should be loaded and inserted as a single block, instead of calling insert() for each line, which causes performance problems
182. preallocate memory for script file data
183. Floor or Elevator script section loops should report when they're finished
184. global models can now be transported in elevators, since they now properly change parents
185. added "Simple - Custom Models" building
186. fixed issue where AddShaftModel and AddStairsModel commands were doing a file check for the wrong parameter, causing false error messages
187. added support for custom models to be specified as a "DestObject" value, in global/floor/elevator sections, and even as part of a shaft or stairwell.
188. added the ability to use the floor's Interfloor and ColumnFrame meshes, and also Shaft and Stairwell meshes as a script "destobject"

206. moved RenderOnStartup override into Engine Context, to allow the option when reloading a building
207. if a user walks outside of all engine boundaries, revert their movement so they stay within the active engine
208. lots of fixes to support deleting engines. The system now keeps instance slots open when an engine is deleted, which can be reused later.
209. fixed a major vector preallocation bug in the ProcessSubMesh function, causing severe slowdowns with EG881's Landscapes test
210. added CreateWallObject and AddPolygon script commands
211. have CreateWallBox and AddDoorwayWalls functions automatically create wall objects
212. 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.
213. made new AddPolygon function, and moved the AddCustomWall functionality into it
214. 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.
215. 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)
216. only have the primary engine create the old skybox
217. have sound system properly handle engine offsets and rotations
218. added parent/child support for engines, and added the ability for a parent engine to be cut for a child engine's bounds
219. Font code needs to unload the generated texture and font, if an error occurs during font load. This fixes a crash that happens if a missing font's file is added after building load, and the building is reloaded.
220. switch to other engines when entering their bounds, instead of waiting to leave the active engine's bounds
221. added ToGlobal and FromGlobal functions (C++)
222. fixed crashes in the Object Manager and Move Object windows, which were caused by the SBS pointer not being updated properly when a building is reloaded

269. person object should use floor ID text instead of number
270. cleanups of Object Information window - this also fixes some serious object initialization bugs
271. cleaned up singleton variables in frontend; moved them into the object classes
272. control panel windows should be created on-demand (performance improvement)
273. have only main screen handle idle events - this and the previous change should result in minor performance improvements
274. pause the control panel's timer when the progress bar is visible (performance improvement)
275. when taking over a hall call, if elevator's routes are empty, stop the elevator when cancelling the hall call response
276. added support for elevators that are closer and become available during an active hall call, to take over the call response.
277. added function (C++) to cancel an elevator's hall call response route, if no related floor button has been pressed
278. added function (C++) to return control/button light status
279. in the control panel, timer object should be reinitialized, not deleted and recreated from the OnInit call in the timer notify function. This fixes an issue where the timer object was deleted and then code continued to run in it's Notify function
280. fixed an issue where elevator service mode controls would get stuck if an elevator was switched into a different service mode, while the controls were set. This change has the elevator mode setting functions succeed instead of fail, if the mode is the same.
281. person should update their Current Floor setting while riding in an elevator
282. have person wait until doors are open before exiting elevator
283. more status reporting for Person object

285. if a person presses a call button, and the call status becomes invalid while they're waiting (the button light switches off), have them stop their route
286. if a person is in an elevator that switches into a service mode, have them exit that elevator and try the hall call again
287. if fire phase 1 mode is enabled while a person is in an elevator, have them exit at the recall floor instead of their original destination, and cancel all routes
288. (Triton Center) motor position fixes
289. added GetDirectFloors function (C++), along with code to find some routes that would fail with previous tests
290. have route functions keep track of direct connections; this improves performance

292. shutdown fix - the system was exiting to the main menu if the active engine was shut down, when it's supposed to switch to another engine
293. fix to properly reset values in People Manager window, when selecting a different person
294. if person is riding in elevator, show riding status
295. for Person object, wait for elevator doors to open before pressing floor button

298. new People Manager dialog
299. script errors now show the engine context number of the error, if more than one engine is running
300. script errors now show the building filename instead of the section number, which isn't needed due to the script context string
301. new Engine Contexts system, along with the Engine Manager dialog, which allows multiple buildings to be loaded and run in parallel
302. elevators should continue checking elevator availability in a QueuePending stage, if the elevator is on the same floor as the call, and the doors are open or opening/closing. This lets the elevator take the call and re-open in that situation
303. objects without parent scenenodes should attach to engine scenenode, not scene root node
304. moved scenenode-related code out into separate SceneNode object
305. added OgreBullet project files to main solution, to simplify building process on Windows. The separate OgreBullet solution is no longer needed.
