Things have slowed down a bit now that I have caught up with most feature requests. The main one still outstanding is 'phong shading', which I will take a good look at in the not too distant future. I'm hoping to get a release of TyrQuake out soon too - it's been nearly 4 years since the last release!

I think the coolest new feature in this release is the bmodel shadows and self-shadowing.

TyrUtils v0.7 changes:

• Unix man page documentation for the main tools (qbsp, light, vis)
• HTML and text documentation is generated from the man page sources
• qbsp: added support for using WAD3 texture wads used by Hammer
• qbsp: include clip brushes when calculating bmodel bounding box
• qbsp: enable creation of clip-only bmodels
• qbsp: recognise and remove *waterskip, *slimeskip and *lavaskip surfaces
• qbsp: added hintskip texture support
• qbsp: fixed some bugs parsing empty func_group/func_detail entities
• light: implemented self shadowing and full shadows for brush models
• light: implemented the "-soft" command line option
• light: implemented the "-addmin" command line option
• light: implemented the "anglescale" (aka "anglesense") key and cmdline
• light: remove support for negative color components (never worked properly)
• light: removed the "-nominlimit" option (now the default behaviour)
• light: removed the "-compress" option (a bad idea from long ago)
• light: make -gate command line affect linear falloff lights as well
• vis: changed the default testlevel to 4
• vis: added the '-noambient*' options to disable auto ambient sounds.
