 ============================
 --  Bug Fixes ( 2.53.0 )  --
 ============================
 
SquareCollision now properly uses 'side2' arg for its calculation. (Bugfix)


 
 =============================
 -- New Includes ( 2.53.0 ) --
 =============================
 std.zh now includes some new files, that you will want to review. THe outline, scope, and purpose of 
 the new expansions is outlined below.
 
/******************
* std.zh Settings *
*******************/

std.zh now includes a SETTINGS FILE ( std.cfg ) that has a few options
that you may enable, if you wish to change the behaviour of std.zh at compilation
for your quests. These settings are disbaled by default, and affect only a handful of
minimal mechanical differences as follows:


/*********************/
*   STRING HANDLING   * 
/*********************/

string.zh is embedded by default. This will *not* interfere with EXISTING calls to: import "string.zh".
Furthermore, string.zh has been expanded, now consisting of string_constants.zh and string_functions.zh, with
new functions, and a complete map of ASCII values (as constants).

/*********************/
*    LOCALISATION    * 
/*********************/


std.zh now includes some basic local support. These files are in */locale/std_std_'language'.zh, 
and contain constants, and functions in other laguages. The base included locale file at this time
is 'UK/International English', with more to follow. 


/*************************/
*    GENERAL-USE ARRAY   * 
/*************************/

float GlobalRAM[4096]
 * A base, general-purpose array with a size of 4096, and a float type. 
 
std.zh now includes ONE BASE ARRAY with a float type. This is to allow users who are not versed in ZScript 
from avoiding a pitfall of either running out of global vars, by allowing you easy use of one global array
and getter/setter functions to modify it.

Furthermore, it prevents being unable to modify a quest, after releasing it, by ensuring that there is a general
use array for expansion. The array is in std_vars.zh, and if you wish to, you may comment out this import directive
instruction in std.zh to prevent loading the general use array, and the functions associated with it.

The following functions are in the std_vars.zh file, for use with the general-use array:

float GetV(int index)
* Returns the value of the Nth 'index' of the general use array stdArray[];

void SetV(int index, int value)
* Sets the value of stdArray['index'] to 'value'.

void IncV(int index)
* Increases an index value: Equivalent to doing stdArray['index']++  

void IncV(int index, int value)
* Increases the value of stdArray['index'] by 'value'.

void DecV(int index)
* Decreases an index value: Equivalent to doing stdArray['index']--  

void DecV(int index, int value)
* Decreases the value of stdArray['index'] by 'value'.


/*************************/
*   SHORTCUTS & MACROS   * 
/*************************/

The file std_shortcuts.zh includes many useful, time-saving shortcut functions that are equivalent to calling
normal ZScript functions, except that the user need not worry about the left-of-the-arrow operator. 

For example, Screen->Rectangle() can now be called simply as Rectangle() using this include. 

Please review this file, and the documentation for it (std_shortcuts.txt) for more information on its use,
and on the functions contained therein.
