ExtractMaterial has been changed to be able to slurp in from the most distant horizontal position rather than the closest to the extraction top center.
Also speed up ExtractMaterial for the common case of no required horizontal shifts.
Useful e.g. for ingame scripting when you want to grant extra construction plans. Additionally, this kind of behavior is known from some other functions with per-player parameters like e.g. Sound().
CreateObject() now does not reposition an object after it has been created, but rather grows it around the center of said object.
To that end a new parameter has been added to DoCon() and SetCon() and the documentation has been updated.
Renamed CreateObject() to CreateObjectAbove() and replaced all occurrences in script files.
Added CreateObject(), the function may need a rewrite though, see comment in code.
Updated documentation
Appending and including skeletons works now. Documentation updated.
Skins such as appendto.Clonk.Farmer.skeleton are handled as if the skin name were not included: appendto.Clonk.skeleton
This also changes a bit the structure of how meshes are reloaded in general,
in particular mesh materials are only reloaded once and not once per
C4DefGraphics instance. (Fix crash on reload with included skeletons, cherry picked from commit 2f69aa4850ab7a4b621e5f30cbc537d40f32c0df)
Fix linking of C4Script standalone tool (cherry picked from commit b03a332b73463b378c94e4e92b66d45b923b3b9c)
Example: this.EditCursorCommands = ["Explode(20)"] on an item will offer a menu entry to explode the object. Commands may be either strings or function pointers, but function pointers will always be called by name.
When using AttachMesh() with the flag AM_MatchSkeleton the behaviour was changed. The child mesh no longer uses the transformation of the bone in the parent skeleton by order, but by name.
This introduces a new texture, an ambient light map, that is generated
automatically at the beginning of the round by the sky portion of the
landscape. This basically makes everything that is close to sky visible
by default.
The shaders have been adapted so that they deploy direction-independent
lighting for the ambient component, and the current (diffuse) behaviour
for the diffuse component. This makes the shaders use an additional
texture unit that represents the ambient light. We can think about merging
this information into the light texture, but the coordinate systems are
different at the moment, so this could be performed at the stage of light
texture generation.
For meshes, the ambient material is not actually used, but instead a
diffuse light from the front is used. This makes many meshes look more
interesting, maybe also because the ambient material setting of most
meshes are not set correctly at the moment.
I would prefer to render the models for speaker portraits directly. However, it seems like it's not currently possible to clip or render models to offscreen surfaces.
If an object moves and other objects are attached to its SolidMask, only objects in front of this plane are moved along with it. Defaults to Plane if zero.
