Description
===========

SinEd Omega is a modified version of the regular SinEd. Its main
purpose is to fix/enhance the editor's GUI (Graphical User Interface)
to improve user-friendliness and productivity. I will also look into
the possibility to improve some of its functionality features.

About OpenGL:

I'm not much good with OpenGL so I haven't fixed any of the OpenGL
problems with SinEd. You'll still get the OpenGL error when you start,
and I do know about it. So please don't email me about. I'll fix it as
soon as I can. OpenGL API programming is a specialty by itself and the
way Windows9x OS handles OpenGL is not quite kosher so don't expect
miracles here.


Installation
============

You'll need the original SinEd working before you use this. Read the
readme.txt include with SinEd to find out how to set it up. Once you've
got it running, all you need to do is copy this exe file in to the same
directory as SinEd.exe. Then you can choose to either:

- change your present desktop shortcut to point to Sined Omega.exe
  instead of sined.exe or...

- rename sined.exe to something else and rename Sined Omega.exe to
  sined.exe and leave your desktop shortcut unchanged.


Know Issues
===========

- mouse wheel zooming might not work for everyone depending on your
  brand and type of mouse, driver version or OS (Win95 OSR1 or 2, Win98).

- memory leaks. SinEd's got lots of 'em but I haven't been able to
  pinpoint their cause yet.


Change History
==============

+ :added 
- :removed
* :fixed
= :changed

Version 1.0.8
=============

--- Rev 8
= MAX_SUBMENU's so you no longer get MAX_SUBMENU's exceeded if you're editing 2015 maps.
* Tab order on most of the dialogs.
+ Arbitrary Rotation button on toolbar
= Program icon - also from EutecTic
= New toolbar buttons - thanks to EutecTic.
* Sizing the 2d or Z window to small caused an OpenGL error.
= Mouse pointer is hidden when scrolling in the 2d or texture window
+ Copy console text to clipboard (edit>>console>>copy)
+ Tooltips for the tool bar.
+ "On The Web" menu in help menu with links to related sites.
+ "Are you sure" confirmation when you hit the "Set SWL" button
+ F1, F2 and F3 active the Camera, 2d and Z views respectively


--- Rev 7
+ Clear console command (Edit>>Console>>Clear)
* Select Touching: brush used for selection volume now disappears
* Texture item typo in texture menu
* Find Texture dialog text field garbage.
* Close button (X) on surface inspector is the same as hitting cancel
= View help file command loads the SinEd help file in whatever program is set to open .doc files
  and doesn't pop up a dos window.
+ New, Open & Save toolbar buttons
+ Console, Texture and Entity window view commands are in the window menu (and also in the view menu, cos people will probably be used to it)
* Ctrl+X no longer exists (use Alt+F4), Most people think of Ctrl+X as cut, and close without saving isn't a very good use for a commonly pressed key.
+ Command Prompt button on toolbar
= The tool bar buttons are now in groups with gaps between them
= Program icon
= Default font size is now 8

Version 1.0.6
=============

--- Rev 6

* A few menu shortcuts where the same for more that one item.


Version 1.0.5
=============

--- Rev 5
+ Options, go to Edit>>Preferences
+ top, front, side caption on 2d window (i.e. "XY (top) View...")

--- Rev 4
= Font for the entities window and console is now MS Sans Serif size 10 by default
= The window styles of most dialog windows now have 3d style buttons
+ DOS Command Prompt option in the file menu

--- Rev 3
+ Mouse wheel zooming for the Z view.
= Title bar text shows the program name (handy when your using the close program dialog after it breaks)
= The message boxes look nicer now
= The texture menu makes sub menus for items with an _, so no more multiple 2015_####### entries, they are
  grouped in a 2015 sub menu now

--- Rev 2
= Moved the texture inspector window command to the window menu, giving more space for the textures list
+ Mouse wheel zooming in 2d view
* View help file should work now.
* The warning about losing your changes now happens if you press the close button (X on main window) as well
  as File->Exit.
* The program icon is now the SinEd icon

--- Rev 1
- The big bmp on the about box is now gone, so the exe file is smaller.
+ Bring to front commands for Camera, 2D and Z view, accessed via the window menu or toolbar buttons.
