−
#* add drawing support for doors on stub exits/custom lines
 
−
#* add stub special exits (for those odd exits which you do no yet know where they go) together with room indications for (at least) one of such things being present and also indication of a special exit without a custom exit line representation (again to show presence of such a thing).
 
−
# (From SlySven): Revamp 3D mapper:
 
−
#* port away from deprecated QGLWidget usage (it'll cause us less [https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-39210?focusedCommentId=267859&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-267859 issues on mac] too)
 
−
#* rewrite code to use modern (indirect) OpenGL 3.0+ - would be needed to port to OpenGLES (e.g. Raspberry Pi) platforms anyway.
 
−
#* generally clean up the 3D paintGL() code - it is rather messy at present with redundant/ineffective calls.
