• searchable comboboxes; for editing click twice
• expose make public month to cript API
• elevated powerlines
• new flag for bridges and ways in makeobj 60.9 clip_below Default is (1) but for slim structures (e.g. powerline) it could be set to zero for nicer display of structures below
• Retain message of the day in servergames. Can be reshown in the game info/network dialog
