TrueConez 1.0
21 Mar 1998
==================================================================
TrueConez is a Truespace 3.x extension which creates real cones
in Truespace. Cones created with TrueConez contain the minimum #
of faces and vertices.

Primitive cones from TrueSpace actually have an extra face at the
apex of the cone and extra vertices as well. From what I can gather
this is done for two reasons. In a TrueSpace cone all the side faces
have four edges, this is much easier to code and faster to process
than having mixed 3/4 edge faces in the one object. Also the UV
mapping is MUCH easier to code with the TrueSpace style cone than
the TrueConez cone. Note that 3D video cards like my cones better
than TrueSpaces built in ones. OpenGL updates them much smoother
than standard cones.


INSTALLATION

Unzip all files into your Truespace 3 TSX directory.
To use simply fire up Truespace 3.x, open the 3D Plugins window and
load 'TrueConez.tsx' into the plugin panel. If TrueSpace reports
"Library not found" or the TSX Extender refuses to load the plugin
please download the file mfc42u.dll from my webpage and install it.
This should fix the problem.


USAGE

TrueConez works identically to TrueSpaces geometric primitives.
IE: left click to make a cone, right click for parameters.
The parameters are pretty self explanatory; latitude and longitude
have the same meaning as in normal cones; x y z size controls the size
of the cone and Map Base allows you to map the texture onto the base
of the cone as well as around the sides. Reverse map applies textures 
the opposite way to normal.

	Added reverse UV mapping option
	Fixed bad base UV mapping

KNOWN BUGS

Don't think so. Check the UV mapping againt the UV maps of TrueSpace
Cones just to check that it's right, it should be.
