+
+szs v1.00a r3958 - 2012-07-14
+
+ - wkmpt COBJECT --draw=modelist:
+ - Mode 'JGPT': Draw arrows at respawn positions.
+ - Mode 'CJGPT' does what the old 'JGPT' did: Draw connections between
+ check points and respawn positions.
+ - Mode 'CNPT': Draw arrows instead of lines.
+ - New command "wszst MINIMAP": Print and optional patch the releavant minimap
+ data of a SZS, U8, BRRES or MDL file. 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

+
+szs v1.28a r4771 - 2013-12-09
+
+ - There was a disorder using the escape sequences '%E' and '%T' for file
+ extensions/types. '%E' included a leading point, '%T' only sometimes.
+ Henceforth both will include then leading '.' or are empty, if no file
+ extension is available. So the earlier '%N.%T' becomes '%N%T'.

+ grey cube with a vertex down. The color for itemboxes with special items
+ for players or enemies is dark grey.
+ - New KCL script functions: tri$createOctahedron(), tri$createAntiPrism()
+ and tri$createAntiArrow().
+
+
+szs v1.30a r4810 - 2013-12-27
+
+ - Object export (wkclt DECODE & wkmpt DRAW):

+ - New option for tools wszst and wkmpt: --speed-mod=factor: Define a speed
+ modifier and patch KMP files.
+
+
+szs v1.33a r4983 - 2014-03-01

+szs v1.36b r5690 - 2014-10-21
+
+ - Bug fix: If transforming a track, the minimap became sometimes invisible.
+ The reason was, that the minimum and maximum parameters of the vertex list
+ were not calculated and not stored to reflect the new coordinates.
+ - New patching option: --null: Create a neutral transformation without
+ affecting the coordinates. The only influence is, that the dependent values
+ (like maximum) are calculated as if a transformation has taken place.
+ This option helps to fix the transforming bug mentioned above.

+ (format '#.##' or 'v#.##') or a revision number (format 'r#') as parameter.
+ If set, the tools try to create BMG and KMP text files, that are compatible
+ to the entered version. This may override other legacy options.
+ - wkmpt DECODE: If creating a KMP text file, a new macro section is included.
+ The only yet provided macro is ITEMBOX: It help to setup a row of items
+ and supports automatic height correction. See the macro definition for more
+ details. The macro itself is very old and works also with old versions of
+ the tools, but they don't create it.
+ - wkmpt DRAW: Draw objects 'kinoko_*' and 'DKturibashiGC' as recognizable

+ With these 3 options it is possible to support a very large cheat code
+ table. Therefor a temporary section is created that runs at the very
+ beginning and takes space from the game heap to establish a code section
+ before the FST table.
+ - Tool wctct: Update of the internal CT-CODE (mod1). The new code allows to
+ select original tracks in regions. Here you can find old CT-CODE versions:

+
+szs v1.51a r7107 - 2016-06-01
+
+ - wstrt is able to patch DOL files of other games and not only of MKWii.
+ - The CHECK for slot 4.2 will be more exact now because it looks for the
+ needed materials. The presence flags of objects 'car_body' and 'kart_truck'
+ is also tested. If option --OLD is set, the old polygon test will be used.
+ - Option --kmp=list supports now the keyword REVERSE as `backwards´ support:
+ Reverse KMP sections ENPH, ENPT, ITPH, ITPT, POTI. The implementation is
+ not finished yet and more section (CKPH, CKTP, KTPT, JGPT) will follow.
+ - Different small fixes.
+
+
+szs v1.52a r7164 - 2016-06-29
+
+ - Bug fix for wkclt: Since v1.49a, the transformation was executed twice,
+ but only for commands DECODE and ENCODE. Command COPY works correct and
+ transforms only once.
+ - wstrt: Wiimmfi patching excludes now 3 patch positions for competitions.
+ It's now the job of the competition patcher to patch these 3 URLs.
+ - wkclt CFF: If creating a new flag file, the new function i(type,z,index)
+ is defined as support for fall boundaries (idea by Wexos).
+ - New tool: wmdlt: The tool wmdlt exists since v0.26a (2012), but was always
+ hidden, because it was useless. But now I started with MDL analysis and
+ plan to modifiy MDL data.
+ - wmdlt CAT/DECODE: Print a MDL file as text. It is incomplete, but can be
+ used for analysing.
+ - wmdlt STRINGS: Print all strings of a MDL.
+ - For slot 42 (moonview highway) the content of the 12 needed materials
+ is checked.
+
+
+szs v1.53a r7308 - 2016-12-09
+
+ - Bug fix: Occasional a "Segmentation fault" occured, if reading an empty file.
+ - Option --draw supports the new keyword DECORATION: Draw unsolid objects
+ without any route as a magenta cuboid.
+
+
+szs v1.54a r7393 - 2017-08-14
+
+ - Some KCL flags renamed.
+ - wkmpt draw --draw AREA: Areas of KMP are drawn as yellow arrows and as
+ transparent yellow cuboids.
+ - Support for RKC (competition) files added:
+ RKC files are handled like other archives. Tool wszst is able to detect,
+ list, extract or create a RKC file, also recursive. Direct creation and
+ optimation of the included SZS is not implemented yet.
+ - New keyword for option --kmp: MAX-LAPS: Keyword MAX-LAPS has only impact,
+ if one of 1LAP,...,9LAPS is set too. Then, the number of laps is only
+ decreased to the specified number, but never increased.
+ - New keyword for option --kmp: RM-EMPTY: After creating a new KMP, all empty
+ KMP sections are removed to make the KMP as small as possible. Use this
+ option only for compettitions!
+ - New command: YAZDUMP: Prints an info dump about the YAZ0/YAZ1 compression
+ details for analysis.
+ - New compression methods: 10 (=ULTRA) and 100-150: They need much more time
+ than BEST (=9) but create smaller SZS files than Nintendo did. It is
+ dedicated to competitions with strict size limitations.
+ - There is a new option: --tiny=level: It tries to minimize SZS and also the
+ included KCL and KMP by different technics (rounding values, sorting and
+ compression methods 100-150). It is not fully documentd yet.
+ See https://szs.wiimm.de/info/tiny.html for details.
+ - New keyword for option --kcl: WEAK-WALLS: Set the most significant bit
+ (bit 15, 0x8000) of KCL flag of all walls. It stops hard bumping at the
+ edges and has similar effects like lowering the walls.
+ - Windows only: Cygwin update to v2.8.1, 2017-07-03.
+ - Apple Mac is no longer supported because I no longer have access to a Mac.
+
+
+szs v1.55a r7429 - 2017-11-11
+
+ - New command: wszst DISTRIBUTION: The aim is to create a text file that
+ describes a custom track distribution. The owner have to edit the created
+ file and send it to Wiimm. 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.

+ 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.

+ 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

+ 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.
