New features

• Uncapped (!1783 (merged))
• UDMF maps are now fully functional (!1714 (merged)). See MascaraSnake's wiki page for documentation.
  • Improved the TEXTMAP parser. UDMF maps now load almost as fast as binary maps.
  • Removed the writethings console command and disabled NiGHTS Objectplace because they are not compatible with UDMF.
  • Added the -writetextmap command line parameter to convert binary maps to UDMF (a tutorial can be found here).
  • A few obsolete sector and linedef types have been deprecated in the binary map format as well (see here).
