Fix for map panning bug
Applied patch #496581 "Quick fix for Exp-Window"
Applied patch #496462 "consider msg patch" from wyvern (mvern)
Modified Experience handling to use the group class and made the ExperienceWindow work more or less (not perfect, but it's something).
Temporarily disable group code until the crashing bug can be found (any volunteers to fix it? ;) )
Added some keyboard accelerators to the maps.
The following keyboard accelerators are configurable on a per map basis
(listed by preference name):

PanDownKey => Ctrl+2

PanLeftKey => Ctrl+4
PanRightKey => Ctrl+6
PanUpLeftKey => Ctrl+7
PanUpKey => Ctrl+8
PanUpRightKey => Ctrl+9
AddLocationKey => Ctrl+O
StartLineKey => Ctrl+L
AddLinePointKey => Ctrl+P
DeleteLinePointKey => Ctrl+D
MapLineNormalKey => Alt+1
MapLineDepthFilteredKey => Alt+2
MapLineFadedFloorsKey => Alt+3

Added an explanation of how the filter string is composed to
filters.conf.dist
Added more weapon names (including adding weapon28.h and weapons2b.h)
Added size checking for dispatched decoded data.
Tweaked the structures related to Zone Spawns to more accurately reflect the data organization.


Enjoy,

I just finished committing changes to CVS, here's the excerpt from the CHANGES file:

dohpaZ (03/01/02)
---------------------
Modifications:
+ Applied patch #498090 "find and use gcc3 or gcc-3.0 if present" by njk (yendor) aka Yendor

Also made it always use an all lowercase zone name (since the different notifications give different cases) and display the name of the zone filter file searched for and the filter file that was loaded.

dohpaZ (03/01/02)
---------------------
Modifications:
+ Un-applied patch #498562 "Spawn z loc patch" by wyvern (mvern), it turns out that this had negative implications for the map code in regards to existing maps and depth scaling. (Cartographers, don't submit maps made/modified with the earlier 03/01/02 CVS commit (between 1 and 11 am EST) the Z coordinates will be off.
+ Applied patch #498938 "doors patch part 2" by wyvern (mvern)
+ Applied patch #498735 "ShowEQ install/usability patch" by Kenny FromSouthPark (kennysp)
+ Modified the Drop, Coin, and Door classes to multiply the Z up by 10.0 and have the Item class also save a floating point version of the Z coordinate that is Z divided by 10, and added a displayZPos() method.
+ Modified the Spawn List, Interface, and Map to use the displayZPos() for textual display purposes.
+ Modified the paintDrops(), paintCoins(), and painDoors() methods to pay attention to Spawn Depth Filter setting.

Bug Fixes:
+ Made the text output when a spawn that matches a filter is seen actually display the z coordinate instead of print the y coordinat twice.

Enjoy,
