when saving, radiant & ufo2map should use the same precision, so that diffs are smaller.

which one to change, i have no idea :)

partially a followup of https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=805245&aid=1973059&group_id=157793

(i thought i had reported this before, but can't find it - so maybe i didn't :) )

well reminded. this has been on my mental todo list. good to have it in the tracker as well - much more reliable.

I wanted to list the format conversions (%.6f or whetever) here and ask mattn to check. But I could not get the web repo access (still), grrr.

I think I need to change texture scale and maybe coordinates in ufo2map, and then make radiant agree with ufo2map.

suggested format conversions for comment.

%.7g for all coordinates in the 3-point plane definitions
%.0f for texture coordinates and rotation
%.7g for texture scale

(other items %s or %i as appropriate)

%.7g as 7 sig fig is the limit of usefulness for 4-byte floats

well - radiant implemented a writeFloat function that is using a string conversion to save floats (afair)

it should be located in the map plugin (again afair - can't tell without code).
