TyrUtils v0.6

Nothing like keeping the momentum going. I've had loads of fun this week really digging into the code and adding the most requested features (and more coming soon!)

TyrUtils v0.6 changes:

qbsp: respect floating point texture rotation and shift in map files
qbsp: support for Valve's 220 map format used in later Worldcraft/Hammer
qbsp: support func_group entities used by Radiant and similar editors
qbsp: surfaces with the skip texture are now removed from the compiled bsp
qbsp: hint brush support similar to Quake 2 for hand-tweaking the PVS
qbsp: fixed a problem where leak files were not written for hull0 or hull1
light: fixed a race condition in multithreaded coloured light processing
light: fixed bug preventing use of all 4 light styles in a common case
light: implemented attenutation formulae "delay" 4+5, ala Bengt's tools
light: removed old bsp30 support
light: lit files now automatically generated when coloured lights detected
light: implemented 4x4 oversampling with -extra4 command line
light: implemented the -gate option to help speed processing (default 0.001)
light: implemented the "_softangle" key for spotlights
light: implemented minlighting for brush models

Hammer 3.3 issue

There is a problem when using Hammer 3.3. That editor uses the wad3 format and apparently the new qbsp can't deal with the .hlwad extension. A map compiled using the new qbsp will not have any textures (although it will load in Quake and the detail brush feature seems to work well). I switched back to the old txqbsp that I was using and the texture reappeared.

Hammer / WAD3

Thanks. The next version will support the WAD3 format texture wads used by Hammer. In the meantime this snapshot should get things working.
