Wow this just gets better and better. I made a map of my city with the new gmdl and it finally downloaded the geodata. Still has the cwcheat crash, so make sure you turn cwcheat off when starting up Mapthis!.

Also I love the new 3D mode. It gives me a much better sense of direction on the road. Fantastic job!

2nd - What's STARTUPSCREENMODE=0 good for?

And thanks for implementing 'startupfrequency', this saves a lot of time for me

Though i have little problems with startupmap (it was working in 0.499 but in 0.5 it won't load the map immediantly).

STARTUPSCREENMODE let's your startup with either notrth up, track up or 3D mode. Only works if startup map is specified.

your startup map probbaly does not load due to "^M" or "^r" characters that windows-based editors add to the end of each line.
To fix that, go to ->configuration, edit the starupmap line and remove the the white space character, following the last letter in your map with "delete" button on danzeff keyboard.
After "saving" that line with [start], go to edit again and make sure that the blinking cursor points at the last latter in your map's name...

Also the up and down to increment and decrement a number (e.g nightvision 1 or 0 ) doesn't work.

But VERY fine that i can edit config.

The Editing is a bit dangerous. You can edit too much:

I can delete too much so it becomes NIGH, it was NIGHTMODE

That will lock up the program.

Also it doesn't autosave the config people, you have to press start for that remember !

Make sure that the cursor is pointing at the character that you are deleting...or incre/decrementing...

You are right - edit mode is not foolproof yet... but it's better than not having the ability to change some setting "on the go"...

BTW, you have to restart the program in order for some settings to take effect..
