AdQuedit: The Quake Workstation
a quake editing utility, frontend, and environment
Release Version 1.3 8/19/97

AdQuedit: The Quake Workstation is my addition to Quake editing
development. The main purpose of this program is to supply an
easy, flexible, and useable means to manipulate the many file
formats that Quake has. Features include replacing textures
in bsp files, editing entity lists, changing model skins,
creating sprites, making mip textures, and extensive
wad editing, and much more. And all cholesterol free!


You will find the slightly outdated manual at the web site above.


system requirements: 
	Runs in Win95. Should run in WinNT, I don't have
it but people have convinced me it works. You must run
AdQuedit in a video mode with more than 256 colors. I can't
be certain on ram requirements, but it is likely that if
you can run Quake, you can run AdQuedit.


legal:
	I am not responsible for anything unfortunate
that happens as a result of using this program.
	This program can be distributed through any means
you want as long as you don't profit from it and so long
as this file is included with the distribution. Inclusion
of this program with any book or compilation cd or anything
remotely like that is forbidden without my permission.
	If you use the utility to develop a commercial product,
it would be cool if you sent me a free copy of it. That's just
a suggestion though, not a requirement.
	Everything about the program is either trademarked or
copyrighted by me except 'Quake' which belongs to Id Software. 


cost:
	As of release 1.3, AdQuedit series version 1 is
freeware. Registered users of the AdQuedit version 1 series
are eligable for free upgrade to the registered version
AdQuedit 2 when it gets released. If you have registered
for AdQuedit, please send me your email address so that a
copy of AdQuedit 2 can be sent to you when it is completed.

------------------------ Changes ------------------------
Version 1.3
	Bugs Fixed:

	* AdQuedit series version 1 is officially freeware

	* got rid of the crash when deleting game configs

	* you can no longer directly delete base or project
	  directories (I'm not comfortable with it.)

	* AdQuedit is now clued to the fact that mip textures
	  must have dimensions multiple of 16, not 8 as was
	  previously thunk by me.

	* Problems that occured when AdQuedit crashes during
	  its first run should be fixed. If this happens to
	  you and it still messes things up, delete the 
	  adquedit.ini file in your \windows diretory.

	* Problems with files not winding up in the Recycle
	  Bin when being deleted have been fixed to the best
	  of my knowledge. I deleted my Quake directory as
	  a test and I was able to restore it.

	* Problems with AdQuedit for some reason having this
	  urge to start out minimized, with the only other
	  size option being maximized.

	Serious Known Bugs Not Fixed:
	  This is intended to be the last version 1 series 
	  release so these issues can not be fixed until
	  the new architexture is introduced in version 2.

	- Minor errors being reported concerning file 
	  descriptions after a file has been created.

	- Messed up file names occuring with file or
	  directories that start with a number. (!)
	  Windows is beautiful sometimes.

	- Deleting a directory from the treeview causing
	  a crash...but only sometimes.

	- wad files blowing up for no particular reason.


Version 1.25
	* using large fonts caused the graphics 
	 to be displaced when displayed

	* the icons weren't showing up as transparent 
	 in the file views

	* added an option for making pak entry names
	 all in lower case when a pak is created

Version 1.21
	* fixed the fact you couldn't do cut/copy/paste
	 functions on files most of the time

Version 1.2
   	* redid about box (woohoo!)

   	* editing the list of hidden directories when one
       	 hidden did not exist caused a crash

   	* fixed memory leak in the file view which could 
      	 eat away memory bit by bit

   	* deleted files go to the Recycle Bin

Version 1.15
 	* Fixed a bug in the mip making functions
  	 which would screw up the fullbrights.

Version 1.1 
 Mainly bug fixes. Enhance mip making ability.

	* problems caused when moving directory onto
	  itself or one of its children

	* check for full brights on mip making

	* file association modification

	* capture return key & delete key when renaming

	* crash when renaming a file twice

	* the window is no longer created bigger than the
	  screen which could happen if you ran the program
          at a smaller resolution than you once did

	* F5 accelerator for update views

	* only remaps a pcx palette to the default palette
	  if they are different. This helps when dealing
	  with full brights.
