New Features

• GUI
  • GuiControl: New events onStartDrag and onStopDrag when a control has been dragged with the mouse (canmove=true)
  • GuiControl: New function startDrag() to let the user move a control (only works when the mouse button is pressed)
  • GuiStretchCtrl: new GUI control which stretches the content to the current size
    • define clientwidth and clientheight (or clientextent) to say which area should be stretched to the actual size
    • use globalToLocalCoord() and localToGlobalCoord() to translate between real mouse positions and scaled positions inside the control

• Graphics
  • Support for 2-bit pngs
  • TShowImg / GuiShowImgCtrl: support for shadow
    • new variables textshadow, shadowoffset and shadowcolor
    • set textshadow = true to enable the shadow (defaults to nickname shadows)
    • modify shadowoffset or shadowcolor to set a custom shadow look
    • shadowoffset is by default {1,1}
    • shadowcolor is by default {0,0,0} (black)
  • TGaniObject: Objects using ganis can be rotated and stretched now
    • new variables rotation, stretchx, stretchy and zoom
    • works for players and npcs
    • ganis are also rotated and stretched when being shown using showimgs
    • body sprites are rotated and stretched as well
    • in old scripting engine you can modify the rotation and zoom via playerX and players[i].X (playerrotation, playerzoom, players[i].rotation etc. for players, players[-1].rotation for the current npc)
    • the rotation angle and zoom factor is not sent to the other clients and is not accessible on serverside, you need to handle that by script (note: this can be added though if required and requested)
  • Rotations/stretch operations can be be stacked now (e.g. zoomed graphics inside zoomed ganis inside a GuiStretchCtrl)

• Scripting
  • new variables mousebuttonsglobal, leftmousebuttonglobal, middlemousebuttonglobal, rightmousebuttonglobal to detect mouse behaviour even if the mouse is caught in a GUI control

Bug Fixes
