This is a minor update. it only contains 1 feature: A Restart Button

You can restart custom maps with the button on the pause screen.

Additionally, if you enable the "Show Restart" option under game options, you can wipe your save to quickly restart for speedrunning purposes. I repeat. THIS WIPES YOUR SAVE!!! so use with care :)

This is a minor update. it only contains 1 feature: Support for transparent textures for custom maps.

The process to use a transparent texture is simple

• Paint the texture onto a surface
  
• turn the transparent brush into a func_detail_wall
  

• Name the texture so it begins with a {
  
• in the .metawad, set the texture's "shader" to "mat_cutout"
  

This is a minor update. it only contains 1 feature: Func_Unlockable_Coin and Func_Unlockable_Key can now be set to auto unlock after you collect the last needed item.

In this patch, I added a bunch of new toys for mappers. After trying to put together a mapping tutorial in my live stream last saturday, I realized the process is just too fiddley. So this patch I've focused on sanding off some of the rough edges to make mapping more accessible!

[h2]Custom Map Error Handling Overhauled[/h2]



When a custom map has a bug, you'll see a nice popup instead of spawning into the map and falling into the void. Errors are listed in the new CustomMapLoad.log file, and there's a handy button to open the file for you.

[h2]Simplified Map Authoring[/h2]

maps no longer require a mapdefinition.txt to run. all you need is a .bsp in a folder in the right place and it will show up.

[h2]New Locked Door Entities[/h2]



Have more freedom in your level layouts! instead of a series of linear challenges seperated by checkpoints, you can now spread coins or keys around an open area, and let players find their own fun tackling challenges in any order.

[h2]More Bugfixes[/h2]

I also fixed a few other bugs

• Fixed the bugger maps list scrolling
  
• Manually defining a maps skybox from pogostockskies will no longer appear broken on map load
  

The Beta is now available! Custom levels are created using Trenchbroom (or any other quake mapping tool)


Remember, it is a beta. so some stuff might not be working right, or may be poorly documented. Let's coordinate using the HEDGEWIZARDS Discord! https://discord.com/invite/nEZ79cQgm2

Here's a steam guide I made real fast for setting up your environment: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3181390270

I will be streaming on twitch this saturday at 9 PM CST to provide a full tutorial of building a custom map from scratch! I will then crosspost that tutorial to youtube.
