Supported patching options: --touch, + --xcenter, --ycenter, --zcenter, --center, --scale, --shift, --xss, --yss + and --zss. + + +szs v1.01a r3987 - 2012-07-22 + + - Command "wszst MINIMAP" can now automatically adjust the minimap, if the + new option --auto is set. It analyses MDL section 2 (vertex list) to find + the minimum and maximum values. Then it makes the ranges 4% wider, store + the calculated values in 'posRU' and 'posLD' of the MDL and calculate the + transformation matrices. The command is very flexible and can modify the + map of SZS, U8, BRRES and MDL0 files. + See https://szs.wiimm.de/opt/auto for details. + + +szs v1.02a r3992 - 2012-08-01 + + - KCL: Detect invalid triangles (e.g. length=0) on OBJ import. + - Option --kcl: There are now 2 groups of removing commands: + - 'DROP*' drop unused, invalid or fixed triangles (bad triangles). + - 'RM*' remove triangles with special characteristics. At this moment + RM-FACEDOWN is the only command of the 'RM*' class: It will remove all + face down drivable triangles to avoid KCL glitches. + - File DB: Sub files 'kinoko_*.kcl' are now assigned to object group 'kinoko'. + - Update of the KMP Object database. + + +szs v1.03a r4002 - 2012-08-11 + + - New global option: --force: The tools analyse input files and reject files + with invalid data structures. If --force is set, little repairable issues + are ignored or repaired and a warning is printed. + >>> THE RESULT MAY BE INVALID OUTPUT FILES! + - Option --kcl: If no 'DROP*' mode is set, the tools drops automatically all + bad triangles. For an existing octree, it is only 'DROP-UNUSED'. + - Option --kcl: Correct handling, if 'DROP-UNUSED' and 'NEW' are set together. + - wszst MINIMAP --auto: The Y-translation is also calculated to make very + high faces visible. + + +szs v1.04a r4050 - 2012-09-08 + + - Bug fix for v1.03a: With some option combinations, the KCL generator failed + and created an invalid KCL (if modifying an existing KCL) or a valid KCL + with some unwanted triangles (if importing from OBJ). + - Option --kcl: Better handling of DROP modes. + - Option --kcl: Correct handling, if 'DROP-UNUSED' and 'NEW' are set together. + (Same message as before, but now I have fixed one forgotten special case). + - "wszst CHECK" will now compare the number of cannons in KCL and KMP. + - New option: "wszst NORMALIZE --minimap": If --minimap is set, the minimap + is automatically adjusted like "wszst MINIMAP --auto" does it. All other + options like --scale are ignored for this kind of minimap processing. + - New option: "wszst minimap --set-flags=flags": Set the MDL flags to an user + defined value (default 0x31f). + - The tools accept now 'Yaz1' files in the exact same manner as 'Yaz0' files + hoping that the data structure and the compression method are the same. + - New options: --yaz0 and --yaz1: Force the magic of new created YAZ files + to 'Yaz0' or 'Yaz1'. + - Object database updated. + + +szs v1.05a r4097 - 2012-09-29 + + - For text files, only the first 4 characters are used as magic ('#BMG' + instead of '#BMG-TXT'; same for '#KCL', '#KMP' and '#MDL'). On creation + a 8 character magic is still written for compatibility. + - Update of the KMP Object database. + - Files './AIParam/AIParam.baa' and './AIParam/AIParam.bas' are now known by + the internal file database. + - Some optimizations around the KCL octree creation. This includes a new + handling of automatic dropping of invalid KCL triangles. + - Some minor text and layout changes. + + +szs v1.06a r4110 - 2012-10-06 + + - Bug fix: "wkclt COPY" printed always a false syntax error after correct + finishing all copy jobs. + - Bug fixes for "wszst NORMALIZE": + - BRRES files will not touched now. + - Memory bug, if rebuilding the KCL. + - wszst CHECK will now make slot proposals with comments: + - Slots 3.1 and 7.1: Check usage of KMP objects 'sunDS' and 'pylon01'. + - Slot 4.2: Only the usage of at least one KMP object of 'kart_truck', + 'car_body' or 'K_bomb_car' is done. An additonally MDL analysis is + missed, so the status is only "may run on slot 4.2". + - Slot 6.1: Test the existence of file 'ice.brres' and of KCL flag 0x70. + - Slot 6.2: Check usage of KMP object 'HeyhoShipGBA'. + - New command: wszst SLOTS: Print the possible slots for a track file. + The analysis is the same as for "wszst CHECK" (see above). The command + prints either a positive or a negative slot list, whatever is shorter. + + +szs v1.07a r4137 - 2012-10-19 + + - "wszst NORMALIZE --kcl ...": In the old versions, the KCL was patched in + place and the total size of the KCL was not changed. If the new KCL was + larger, parameters were changes in up to 5 iteration steps until the new + KCL was less or equal the old size. Now a complete new KCL is created with + the optimal settings and the size may shrink or grow. + If 'INPLACE' is added to the '--kcl list', the old behavior becomes active. + - wzszt CHECK: The logging of sub checks (KCL+KMP) is now better integrated + into the main log and there is now only one summary line for all. + - KCL creation tuned. + - The auto-add library holds now also unique files of folder 'posteffect'. + Try "wszst AUTOADD ./path/to/Race/Course/" to add all supported files. + - New archive format: WU8 (Wiimms U8) + WU8 is like U8, but the sub files are coded as patch for Nintendos original + files. This removes any code of Nintendo and a compressed WU8 (default) is + in general smaller than the related SZS. For encoding end decoding an + auto-add archive is needed (see https://szs.wiimm.de/doc/autoadd). + - wszst NORMALIZE/PATCH: + - Accept options --dest and --DEST for an alternative destination path. + - Accept options --u8 and --wu8 to define the new (W)U8-archive format. + - Object DB updated. + + +szs v1.08a r4148 - 2012-10-27 + + - wszst CREATE/COMPRESS/DECOMPRESS: + - All 3 commands support now U8 and WU8 conversions and accept the + options --u8 and --wu8. + - Support of U8/WU8 conversions of non track files. + - All 3 commands support the new option --remove-src (or --rm-src) to + remove the source files on success and if different to dest files. + - Better error handling of non existing files if --ignore is set. + - New keyword for option --kcl: If creating an OBJ file and 'TRIANGLES' is + set, the triangles are not stored as vertices and faces. Instead each + triangle is stored in an independent line. The OBJ file itself becomes + incompatible (or invalid), because TRI lines are not supported by any + other tool, but it makes adding points or mixing OBJ files much easier. + + +szs v1.09a r4169 - 2012-11-11 + + - BZIP2 compression is now supported as alternative to Yaz0. It is dedicated + to the WU8 file format for transferring files. BZIP2 files are smaller than + Yaz0 files and the creation is faster. + - The new option --bz forces BZIP2 compression instead of Yaz0 compression. + - The new option --wbz is a short cut for --wu8 --bz. + => To create a WBZ (WU8+BZ) file: wszst compress --wbz TRACK.szs + - The new option --szs is a short cut for --u8 --yaz0. + => To create a SZS (U8+Yaz0) file: wszst compress --szs TRACK.wbz + + +szs v1.10a r4186 - 2012-11-17 + + - Bug fix: File type printing (e.g. "YAZ0.U8:filename") was reimplemented + because of the new bzip compression, but with bugs. + - Command "wszst CHECK" will now accept option --verbose to print some more + slot hints (negative info about slots 4.2, 6.1 and 6.2). + - New debug command for all tools: ARGTEST: Print all scanned arguments as + list. This helps to find out wrong parameters, especially for windows. + - Cygwin (Windows): Filename handling improved. If using double quotes around + a filename, backslashes work in a Windows usual way as directory separator. + - Cygwin (Windows): Windows 'SendTo' support added. It must be (un-)installed + with the batch files 'sendto-install.bat' and 'sendto-uninstall.bat'. + Available SendTo jobs: + - normalize-SZS.bat : Normalize a file and convert it to SZS. + - convert-to-WBZ.bat : Convert a SZS file to a WBZ file. + - convert-to-SZS.bat : Convert a WBZ file to a SZS file. + - create-autoadd-library.bat : Use it with the extracted Race/Course + folder to create the autoadd library. It is needed for WBZ conversions. + - New option: --number or --num: If a destination file already exists, append + a number directly before the file extension to make the filename unique. + If other numbered files already exist (ignoring case), use the maximum + existing index+1. Option --number is ignored if --overwrite is set. + + +szs v1.11a r4205 - 2013-01-01 + + - If creating the KCL file, the world will be enlarged by the KCL_BLOW value + to avoid problems at the world border. + - New parameter for KCL/octree fine tuning: KCL_MAX_SIZE: + Cubes, that are larger than KCL_MAX_SIZE, will always be splitted into 8 + sub cubes and will never have triangle lists. The maximum and default value + for KCL_MAX_SIZE is 1024*1024 (~1 million). + - New flag for --KCL=list: CENTER: If creating a new octree, adjust the cube + entrance values so that the real world is centered in the cube world. + - Some old and for a long time obsolate keywords removed. + + +szs v1.11b r4214 - 2013-01-20 + + - Bug fix: If creating a TEX0 file, the float number at offset 0x14 in the + TEX header was wrong (1 too large). The result were artifacts. + - Small updates of the object DB. + + +szs v1.12a r4236 - 2013-02-09 + + - Windows version only: Update to Cygwin v1.7.17 + - wstrt TRACKS+ARENAS: The index column shows now the internal zero based + track index of the track or arena instead of a simple track counter. + - wstrt FIND -lll: Additionally print the slot index and the internal index + (both zero based) before the file names. + - New command: wbmgt CAT: Print decoded BMG files to stdout. If a source is + a SZS file and no subfile is entered, subfile './message/Common.bmg' is + printed. + + +szs v1.12b r4246 - 2013-02-23 + + - Bug fix: The KCL cannon activator was internally handled as drivable type. + So it was wrongly a deletion candidate for --kcl=RM-FACEDOWN. + - Object DB updated. + + +szs v1.13a r4258 - 2013-03-01 + + - New option --rm-aiparam (short cut: --rmai): If set, the directory AIParam + and all files are removed from the archive. This option has only impact, + if creating a new archive or normalizing an existing archive. + - Command wszst NORMALIZE: Logging changed. + + +szs v1.14a r4274 - 2013-03-14 + + - wkmpt CHECK (and all commands calling this function internally): + 4 new tests for sections CKPH, ENPH and ITPH: + - The section must not be empty (WARNING). + - Only ITPH: The first 'next' link must be valid (WARNING). + - Each group must have at least one valid 'next' link (WARNING). + - Each group must have at least one valid 'prev' link (HINT). + See https://szs.wiimm.de/cmd/wkmpt/check#testlist for all tests. + - Option --kcl-script can now be used multiple times to execute multiple + kcl script in the entered order. + - Two new parser functions to identify the source within a script: isKCL() + and isKMP(). Both functions return 0 for false, 1 for true or 2 for true, + if the source is named 'course.*' (main KCL/KMP file). + + +szs v1.15a r4300 - 2013-03-28 + + - New docu file: INSTALL.txt + - Mac+Linux+Unix: Script 'install.sh' will call itself with 'sudo' if not + started by user 'root'. Read INSTALL.txt for details. + - Windows: Cygwin updated. + - Better detection of UTF-8 files with byte order mark (BOM). Tool wbmgt will + accept those files now. + - Bug fix: wbmgt CAT: The option --patch is now processed. + - Bug fix: wbmgt ENCODE: Wrong file naming fixed. + - Bug fix: Option --kcl: If no 'DROP*' mode is set, the tools drops all bad + triangles automatically. For an existing octree, it is only 'DROP-UNUSED'. + - Check KCL+KMP: The checks are now done after patching. + - New option --kmp=modes: It works like --kcl=modes to define KMP jobs and + modes. The first modes are: + - NEW : Scan KMP and create a new one. + - RM-SPCITEM : Clear 'special items for players' setting of the 6 item box + object types. + - FIX-CKPH : Fix the section CKPH. + - FIX-ENPH : Fix the section ENPH. + - FIX-ITPH : Fix the section ITPH. + - FIX-PH : Short cut for: FIX-CKPH,FIX-ENPH,FIX-ITPH. + - INPLACE : Force inplace replacing of KMP files (old mode). + - LOG : Debug: Enable KMP specific logging. + The fix modes are EXPERIMENTAL! + See https://szs.wiimm.de/opt/kmp for details. + + +szs v1.16a r4313 - 2013-04-08 + + - Bug fix for BTI detection (reduce false positives). + - wkmpt COBJECT --draw=ckpt: Draw lines to next point and to point linked + by the 'next' member. + - New command: wszst ENCODE: Works like wszst CREATE, but will not create a + first level archive. The intension is to create and update all subfiles. + 'wszst ENCODE' can be used as a prepararion before using 'wszst UPDATE'. + - New mode for --kmp: FIX-CKNEXT: Automatic calculation of the 'prev' and + 'next' links of KMP section CKPT. + See https://szs.wiimm.de/opt/kmp for details. + - Slot 4.2 detection: Improved 'moonview' detection, because MDL.s10 + 'polygon11' and 'polygon60' are searched and their size is checked. + - Command 'wszst SLOTS': Slots are assigned to output columns now. + - Windows 'SendTo' commands: Fix handling of filenames with spaces. + Reinstall the SendTo files with 'sendto-install.bat'. + - New Windows 'SendTo' commands: + - clean-KCL-of-SZS: Normalize a SZS, drop unneeded KCL triangles and + rebuild the KCL octree. + - adjust-minimap: Adjust the minimap of SZS, BRRES and MDL files. + - Object DB updated. + + +szs v1.17a r4358 - 2013-04-23 + + - Moonview slot proposal optimized. + - KMP check: Print a hint, if 200 or more global objects are defined. + - Option --fast overrides compression rates set by --norm or --compr=list. + - New --kcl mode: FIX-ALL: Short cut for DROP,RM,NEW,LOG. + - New option: --autoadd-path=dir: Define a path for the auto-add library + and override the default search pathes. + - New option: --mdl=list: Define a MDL patching method. VERTEX patching is + used by default. + - New option for wszst: --patch-file=list: Define, which kind of KMP, KCL and + BRRES/MDL files are objects for patching. The default is to patch only the + main KMP and KCL files and the MODEL and MAP files. --pfile is a short cut + for --patch-file. + - New name for option --hrot: --yrot + - New options: --xrot, --yrot, --zrot, --ypos: Options --xrot, --zrot and + --ypos are really new for X+Z rotation and --yrot is only a alternative + name for --hrot. See built in help for impact. + - New option: --translate: Works like --shift, but is done after the + rotation. This is similar to the MDL transformations, that works in the + order scale, x-rotate, y-rotate, z-rotate, translate. + - New command for testing: wszst MATRIX: Use the transformation options as + base and calculate and print the related vectors and the tranformation + matrices. Then execute the transformations for each vector (parameter). + - ATTENTION: Because of the new 3D rotation support, a new rotation + algorithm has been implemented. Implementation bugs are not impossible. + - ATTENTION: All new patching options are EXPERIMENTAL! + + +szs v1.18a r4404 - 2013-05-01 + + - There is a complete new transformation algorithm: All transforming options + will be used to create a transformation matrix. If using >1 transformation + steps (see below), the matrices are multiplied to get a final transformation + matrix. All transformations are now done using this final transformation + matrix. This is faster and the internal handling is now much easier. + - New option --next: This option allows and separates up to 10 transformation + steps. Logical, each point is transformed step by step in the definition + order. Internally, a final matrix is calculated and all transformations are + done in a single step by using this final matrix. There are some issues + transforming KMP object, see https://szs.wiimm.de/opt/next for details. + - Command MATRIX is now available for all tools with transformation support. + It was redesigned to control the impact of the new transformation steps. + See https://szs.wiimm.de/cmd/matrix + - New option --rot=deg@origin: Define the rotations for 3 axes by one option. + - New option --arot=deg[@pt1]@pt2: Do an (axis) rotation around the axis + specified by the 2 points as single transformation step. + This option is EXPERIMENTAL! See https://szs.wiimm.de/opt/arot + - New option --ascale=factor@dir: Do an (axis) scaling into the direction + specified by the vector 'dir' as single transformation step. + This option is EXPERIMENTAL! See https://szs.wiimm.de/opt/ascale + - KMP object database updated. + + +szs v1.19a r4461 - 2013-06-02 + + - wszst CHECK: Check existence of minimap bones 'posLD' and 'posRU'. + Read https://szs.wiimm.de/cmd/wszst/check#desc for a list of all tests. + - Check commands: KMP objects with presence flag == 0 will be handled as + non existent. This changes the missing files status and the slot proposals. + - KCL type names synchchronized to Wiki. + - Bug fix: If a function was searched and a const was defined with the same + name, a `segmentation fault´ (or similar) occured. + - New command: wkmpt STARTPOS: Print the start positions of players in + various formats. See https://szs.wiimm.de/cmd/wkmpt/startpos for details. + - Patching option --kmp accepts now the keywords LEFT, RIGHT, WIDE and NARROW + to modify the start options in section STGI. + - New global option --de: Use german track and arena names. + - Command FILETYPE --long: Column with version of file format added. + - wszst EXTRACT/CREATE: The version number of the archive file format is + stored in and read from the help file 'wszst-setup.txt' to support version + dependent file formats. + - BREFF and BREFT: + - Version numbers are printed in listings with version support. + - The file format version number is written to 'wszst-setup.txt' on + extracting and read from read from 'wszst-setup.txt' on creating. + - The default aligning for BREFT files depends now on the version number. + It is 0x20 for versions <10 (MKW=9) and 0x40 for versions >9 (NSMB=11). + At the moment the new alignment for NSMB is not well tested! + + +szs v1.19b r4482 - 2013-06-14 + + - Bug fix: If resizing an image (e.g. for mipmaps), an INTERNAL ERROR + appeared sometimes because of an unhandled combination of image type + and image size (odd height or width). [Thanx to HelloImYourMind] + + +szs v1.20a r4548 - 2013-07-21 + + - New Option for wszst and wimgt: --smart: + If resizing an image, use the new smart resize function. The new function + is much slower (factor 2-4) than the old function, but creates much better + resized images. This is only relevant for creating mipaps with odd width + or height. THIS NEW FUNCTION IS EXPERIMENTAL! + - Support of original SketchUp OBJ exporter, see next 2 points for details: + - More tolerant detection of Wavefront OBJ files. Export of the original + SketchUp exporter will be recognized as 'SKPOBJ' instead of 'WAVOBJ'. + - New --kcl flags: 'G' and 'USEMTL': If scanning an OBJ file, these flags + decides, which OBJ commands will define groups. If none is set (default) + 'USEMTL' is used for files of type 'SKPOBJ' and 'G' for all others. + - Command 'wkclt CFF' accepts now option --brief to suppress the comment + '# f(type,variant)' and option --long to force a '= f(type,variant)' + parameter. + - Suppress some patch logging messages for CHECK commands. + - CHECK KMP: If option --long is set, print some additional statistics. + - Some error messages are more exact now. + - Bug fix: If using options --test and --remove together, the destination + file was removed sometimes (but not created). + - New patching option: --tform-kmp=list: Fine control about the sections + and objects (position, rotation or scale vector), that are transformed. + See https://szs.wiimm.de/opt/tform-kmp for details. + - Windows only: Cygwin update to v1.7.20 2013-06-07. + + +szs v1.21a r4578 - 2013-09-07 + + - Improved built-in help system. Type e.g. "wszst help help" or visit + https://szs.wiimm.de/cmd/wszst/help for details. + - New keyword for option --kmp: FORCE: Ignore little repairable file structure + issues on reading KMP files. Works like --force, but only for KMP files. + - Bug fix: The check for the right position of all KMP sections failed. + - Optimized handling for SZS sub files with 'out of range offsets'. + - wszst: Option --auto-add can now be used together with the commands PATCH + and NORMALIZE. EXPERIMENTAL! + - Bug fix: Wrong calculation of parent directory index in U8 header fixed. + This bug existed from the beginning of the SZS tools and it seems, that it + had no impact for running a track or for other tools. However, the positive + impact is, that the creation of the files Track.szs, Race.szs and the other + language independent SZS files of MKWii directory './Scene/UI' works now. + + +szs v1.22a r4602 - 2013-09-14 + + - The Windows installer will now force type REG_EXPAND_SZ for path variables. + - New commmand: wbmgt MIX: Works like CAT, but combines all input files. + - Exported BMG text files will now show all characters of the Unicode Basic + Multilingual Plane (BMP; codes <=0xfffd) without escape sequences. + - Tool wbmgt: Option --single-line supports now 2 levels and option --brief + 3 levels. See https://szs.wiimm.de/opt/wbmgt/single-line and + https://szs.wiimm.de/opt/wbmgt/brief for details. + - New option: wszst --patch-bmg: Patch BMG sub files directly. There is no + more need to extract BMG files before patching. + - New option for tools wszst and wbmgt: --msg=list: If set, the BMG messages + are filtered by this list. Only enabled messages are exported to the ouput + BMG file (binary or text). + - If an archive (SZS,...) is found while reading a BMG file, the archive is + searched for BMG sub files and found sub files together are used as BMG + source. + - wstrt can now detect main.dol files and its type (PAL, USA, JAP or KOR). + - Option --kmp accepts now the keywords 1LAP, 2LAPS ... 9LAPS to modify the + first byte of KMP/STGI (number of laps). This first byte has only impact on + patched main.dol files. + + +szs v1.23a r4682 - 2013-10-05 + + - Exported BMG text files will now show all characters of the Unicode Basic + Multilingual Plane (BMP; codes <=0xfffd) without escape sequences. New is, + that surrogates and private ranges are always printed as escape sequences. + - New options for BMG text output: --color and --no-color: If enabled, colors + are printed as new escape sequence "\c{color}". 'color' is either a known + color name or a hex number with 4 digits. At the moment, --no-color is + the default to avoid problems with old versions and other externl tools. + In 2014 --color shall become the default. However, the BMG text scanner + accepts the new escape sequence from now and independent of these options. + - New modes for option --patch-bmg: 'ID', 'ID-ALL', 'CT-COPY' and 'CT-FILL'. + See https://szs.wiimm.de/opt/patch-bmg for details. + - New command: wstrt DUMP: Dump the data structure of DOL files as text. + - wstrt ANALYZE: Analyze DOL files and compare them section by section with + the orginal main.dol file of MKWii. + - New command: wstrt EXTRACT: Extract the sections of a DOL file into a + directory.

Wiimm add the information to the custom track + portal https://ct.wiimm.de/ with a complete track list. + + +szs v1.55b r7437 - 2017-11-19 + + - wszst DISTRIBUTION: New parameter: PREDECESSOR + - wszst AUTOADD: With option -v, the command will list invalid files too. + + +szs v1.56a r7461 - 2017-12-03 + + - wszst DISTRIBUTION: Track scanning improved. + - Option --cache is a global option now. It is used to speedup every YAZ0 + compression, but only for standard compression level 9 (BEST). A hash table + is used now for optimization. + - New option: --cname: Defines a cache file name for a single file. + - New Command: wszst SCANCACHE: Scan the cache directory for SZS files and + re-build the hash table. + + +szs v1.57a r7484 - 2018-04-11 + + - Windows version only: Update to Cygwin v2.10.0. + - New option for tools wkclt, wszst and wkmpt: --kcl-min=FLOAT: Define a + minimal `length` of KCL triangles. The length is the heights of the + reference side of the triangle. Smaller triangles are invalidated and + ignored or removed. The default value is 0.1 and good values are between + 0.01 and 2.0. Until v1.56a the minimal length was hard coded as 1e-6 + (1/million) to avoid mathematical overflows while calculating positions + by normals. The larger value reduces the number of KCL glitches + dramatically for some tracks with many unusual triangles. + - New option: --wc24: If set, options --wiimmfi and --domain will exclude + 2 strings of StaticR.rel from the URL patch to enable WC24 support. + + +szs v1.58a r7499 - 2018-04-20 + + - Option --kcl-min=EXPR: This option is deprecated, but still supported. It + is an alternative name for --tri-height=EXPR now. + - New option --tri-area=EXPR: Define the minimal area size of KCL triangles. + The intention is to ignore triangles that are generally to small. EXPR is + a floating point number or expression. Triangles are invalidated if their + area size is smaller than EXPR. The test is executed after reading files, + after transformations, and after calculating normals and lengths. Values + between 0.01 and 4.0 are recommended. The careful value 1.0 is used as + default. Value 0 disables this filter functionality. + - New option --tri-height=EXPR: Define the minimal height of KCL triangles. + The intention is to ignore deformed triangles (very slim, but long). EXPR + is a floating point number or expression. Triangles are invalidated if at + least 1 of the 3 heights is smaller than EXPR. The test is executed after + reading files, after transformations, and after calculating normals and + lengths. Values between 0.01 and 2.0 are recommended. The careful value 0.1 + is used as default. Value 0 disables this filter functionality. + - You can proof the impact of the options above by command wkclt TEST. + - Command wkclt DUMP has been expanded and shows metrics like side length, + area size and heights for each triangle. + - New command: wkclt LIST: Print a list of all triangles with metrics in + human and machine readable text format. It is like command DUMP, but + reduced to the list of triangles. + - New implementation for OBJ groups without assigned KCL flag. They will be + inserted into the OBJ export now. + + +szs v1.58b r7503 - 2018-05-18 + + - Default value for options --tri-area and --tri-height is now 1.0. + - Some more minor edits. + + +szs v1.59a r7533 - 2018-08-05 + + - Option --kcl-min is not longer supported. Use option --tri-height instead. + - The old file extension ".flag.txt" for KCL flag files is not longer + supported. + - wszst/wkmpt CHECK: Battle arenas are now detected in 2 levels: "some hints + found" and "is battle arena". Some hints and warnings are suppressed for + battle arenas. + - wszst SLOTS: For battle arenas, the keyword ARENA is printed instead of a + slot list. + - New option: --export-flags[=mode] (or short: --exflags): KMP compiler and + scanner support the export and import of KMP flags for sections ENPT, ITPT + and JGPT through a binary KMP file. Therefore, the last byte of the scale + or of the x-rotation is used. Values becomes inaccurate by 0.003% (not + relevant for scale or rotation and not noticeable while playing). + MODE is either OFF, AUTO (default) or ON. Without value, ON is used. ON and + OFF override the @EXPORT-FLAGS settings of a KMP text file. + - New option: --wim0[=mode]: KMP compiler and scanner support the export and + KMP parameters through a special KMP section named "@WIM0@". MODE is either + OFF, AUTO (default) or ON. Without value, ON is used. ON and OFF override + the @WIM0 setting of a KMP text file. This as an experimental feature at + the moment to proof the compatibility with other KMP tools. + - New command wkmpt WIM0: Analyze the WIM0 section of each KMP file (text, + binary or szs) and print an info about it. + - wkmpt DRAW: AREAs are drawn dependent of the mode either as a rectangle + cuboid or as a cylinder (more exact: as an anti prism with 20 sides). + - wkmpt: If creating a KMP by text file, the PREV and NEXT links of item + routes are checked. If missed, a link to self is added to avoid a freeze. + - Option --kmp FIX-CKPH,FIX-ENPH,FIX-ITPH: If a PREV or NEXT link is missed, + a link to itself is added. Before, a link to another group was inserted. + - Camera types 0 (Goal) and 3 (KartFollow) are excluded from transformation + and scaling now. + - KMP text files: STGI is printed with new column names according the new + knowledge of CT-Wiiki. + - Internal KMP GOBJ database updated by CT-Wiiki object table. + + +szs v1.60a r7578 - 2018-08-21 + + - Improved detection of battle arenas by KMP. The output of KMP text files + of racing tracks and battle arenas differ. + - New option:--battle[=mode]: The mode is either OFF, AUTO (default) or ON. + OFF and ON override the automatic detection of battle arenas. + - wkmpt DRAW: The connections between ENPT and ITPT routes are drawn with + half width and a brighter color now. Additional, there is a distinction + between bidirectional links, PREV only and NEXT only. + - wkmpt DRAW: Dispatch points of KMP sections ENPT and ITPT are detected and + printed as octahedron. The NEXT links point to the nearest end of the + destination routes. + - New keyword for option --draw: DISPATCH: If set, the settings of dispatch + points of areans are visualized by colors to support the analysis. + - New keyword for option --draw: COINS: If set, draw coins as yellow, orange + or red cubus. Color and size depend on coin place type. + - New keywords for option --draw: BLACK and WHITE: If set, a very dark grey + (BLACK) or a very bright grey (WHITE) ground is inserted at height 0.0. + The rectangle encloses all valid triangles. + - New command: wkmpt ROUTES: Print out the new internal cross references for + routes of KMP sections CKPH, CKPT, ENPH, ENPT, ITPH and ITPT. + - The settings of KMP sections CKPH, ENPH and ITPH are printed as "$SETTINGS" + line if not zero. They are also scanned and stored into binary KMP. Usually + only section ENPH of battle arenas use these settings. + - New feature for KMP sections ENPT and ITPT to support battle arenas: + @AUTO-CONNECT=MODE: Control the automatic calculation of PREV and NEXT + links. One MODE is DISPATCH: Connect routes and dispatch points + automatically controlled by different settings. THe default is to link all + routes, if no links is defined. + - Auto created group names of ENPT begin with 'DP' instead of 'G', if + DISPATCH mode is active. + - PREV links of KMP sections CKPH, ENPH and ITPH are printed as "$PREV" line, + if either @AUTO-CONNECT is changed or the PREV link lists is different from + automatic calculated list. + - New global option: --route-options: Disable or enable the new features + $SETTINGS, @AUTO-CONNECT, ... + - wkmpt CHECK and wszst CHECK improved: + - Info about arena classification: NONE, MAYBE, ARENA, ARREA+DISPATCH + - Battle arena: Hint about non empty CKPT and ITPT. + - Battle arena: Warnings about empty ENPT. + - Racing track: Warnings about empty CKPT, ENPT and ITPT. + - Check the number of KTPT elements and find missed or multiple defined + player indices for battle arenas. + - Check the number of MSPT elements and print warnings about too less or + hints about too much records. + - Check number and valid types of coin objects. + - Some camera warnings reduced to HINT. + - New global option: --battle=mode: MODE is either OFF, AUTO (default) or ON. + OFF and ON override the automatic battle detection. + - New commands to be used behind $GROUP: $PREV and $SETTINGS. + - New commands to fine control @AUTO-CONNECT: $DEF-CLASS, $CLASS, $AC-PREV, + $AC-NEXT and $ONEWAY. + - New keywords for option --kmp: DUMP-CLASS, DUMP-ONEWAY, DUMP-ALL: Dump + reference lists at the end of section ENPT and ITPT. + - Internal KMP GOBJ database updated by CT-Wiiki object table. + + +szs v1.61a r7601 - 2018-09-23 + + - Bug fix for the new route analysis (e.g. wkmpt DRAW): The positions were + wrong (e.g. NAN or too large) when analysing ITPT. + - New command: wszst ISARENA: Check the arena status of a SZS file, print a + status line and exit with an appropriate status code. + + +szs v1.62a r7620 - 2018-11-07 + + - Windows version only: Update to Cygwin 2.11.1. + - Cygwin bug fix: Color support failed, if tools started in a Windows console + window or as script outside a Cygwin window. + - The text parser (mainly used to scan KMP text files) supports the new data + type STRING.
