* By popular request, if your FPM level contains segments in the selection list that are no longer used, FPSC will remove them
* Added a new debug string reporter to the SET DIR command (will display any folder name that is invalid during a build process)
V1.0.4 RC5 - 13/12/06
---------------------
* Muzzle flash now duplicated (for twin weapons) if FIRESPOT02 limb detected in HUD.X of weapon model
* Changed smoke emission position for guns from brasslimb marker to smokelimb marker (if smoke limb exists)
* Extended smoke and brass ejections to a twin gun system if FIRESPOT02, SMOKE02 and BRASS02 limb names used
* Changed tradgectory of brass ejections to orient on the gun, and expell to the right and down (more realistic)
* Added new fields to GUNSPEC.TXT called MUZZLECOLORR,MUZZLECOLORG,MUZZLECOLORB to control spot light flash colour
* Changed GAMECORE\BULLETHOLES\ to an alpha based approach (so bullet holes can work in cooperation with fog modes)

V1.0.4 RC4 - 11/12/06
---------------------
* Fixed SAVE/LOAD bug that caused objectives to be wiped. Now completed objectives are remembered after a reload
* Added code so that DEBUGREPORT flag works properly
* Added SETTARGETNAME as a new FPI action. Specify an entity name to force the entity using the action to target the named entity
* Restored test game release code (so the time it takes to free resources is less = faster text game exit time)
* When HUDTEXT is used, without any other image based HUD, decal in corner does not corrupt screen
* Added new feature of HUD DISPLAY (as in HUDMAKE=DISPLAY) which scrolls any text-only writing upwards when shown (prevents overwrite)
V1.0.4 RC3 - 27/11/06
---------------------
* Replaced the FPSC-MapEditor.exe with the original V1 version (reduces compatibility problems)
* Replaced the Basic3D using a new build of the DLL to facilitate FOG fixes (and future fixes - speed test alert)
* FOG colours now work again, not just black
* Brought FOG range closer that previous defaults, 1000.0 from camera instead of 4000.0 from camera
* Modified FASTBONE.FX shader to account for any FOG within the level scene
V1.0.4 RC2 - 22/11/06
---------------------
* Fixed bug causing allbut first weapon to disappear from hands of characters
* Changed version number to V104 on the initial splash screen
* Created a fall-back to older functionality where a sound cannot load using NO_VIRT mode
* Corrected player speed limit so there is no lower limit, upper limit must remain for stability reasons
V1.0.4 RC1 - 15/11/06
---------------------
* Increased resource for attachments (guns and shadows) so more entities can be created
* Increased loading of enemies allowing them to only load one weapon (held weapon)
* Optimized Sound Manager to avoid a possible 20 million iteration loop (speed up for large levels)
* Switched 3D Sound Buffers to use faster CPU basic virtualiser, and switched off Listener Doppler (faster fps)
* All 3D Sounds now created using DSBCAPS_MUTE3DATMAXDISTANCE - distant sounds muted (faster fps)
* Capped Player Speed to reasonable (none-game-killing) limits 50 to 200 (default is 100)
V1.0.3 RC3 - 06/10/06
---------------------
* Added an FPSC bug reporting tool written by Thomas Gortler (useful for reporting issues)
* Fixed bug where sound zones would re-trigger after a saved game was reloaded
* Added code to auto-expand AILIST() array associated with new FPI scripts
* Fixed bug caused by spawned objects floating in air after mid-action save/reload action
* Added new flag in SETUP.INI called EXITPROMPTREPORT=1 (which helps reveal the error 0,0 bug)
* Added code to auto-expand Segment Arrays to handle as many segments as the level requires
* Corpse based killed enemies no longer resurrect when reloading a saved game
* Fixed problem causing FPSCreator.exe not to reload the map editor after a BUILD GAME
* If a weapon is added via an FPSC model pack, it no longer crashes if a VWEAP.X not exist
* Fixed icon corruption in FPSC builds once and for all
* Story Zone crash bug fixed, caused by playing animations after a secondary level load
V1.0.3 RC2 - 25/09/06
---------------------
* Created program 'FPSCreatorDumpMem.exe' - run it after a freeze to gather important info
* Added version number to splash screen at start of software
* Improved FPI wizards for TITLE and GLOBAL SCRIPT to handle the new save load feature
* When click SAVE/LOAD GAME, mouse pointer moved to area where an instant click is not detected
V1.0.3 Rc1 - 12/09/06
---------------------
* Restored V1 integrity - replaced all changes from V101 and V102, V1 behaviour restored
* Fixed bug caused by window smashing changing scale of regular decal usage
* Fixed material system so it can now handle materials 11-99 properly
* Save executable now keeps the entity textures that use built-in texture filenames
* Be aware that you cannot have good multi-material static meshes (use Immobile dynamic instead)
* Be aware you should not mix a static and non static entity that shares the same multitexture
* Solved problem when entities take a few seconds to warmup (start spinning/hovering)
* Reduced redundant array checks in the engine (slightly faster at the cost of poor bugreports)
* Added internal mechanisms for SAVE/LOAD feature, along with new dialog gfx and text
