      onParameters(paramString) -- called when script parameters are configured. the parameter contains the parameter(s) as text string

      onPreviewInit() -- called during map preview initialization

      onGearWaterSkip(gearUid) -- called when a gear skims the water without drowning (when hitting it with high speed at low angle). By checking gearUid you can figure out which gear that was.

 + New functions:

      DismissTeam(teamname) -- removes a team from the game (note: if you used loc() on teamnames, don't forget to the translated teamname here too)

      GetGameFlag(gameflag) -- returns true/false

      PlaceSprite(x, y, sprite, frameIdx [, landFlag, ... ]) -- sprite refers to an id from the TSprite list

      SetWaterLine(waterline) -- moves water level to the specified y. the current value is in read-only global waterline

      SetNextWeapon() -- make current hedgehog switch to next weapon. e.g. use in trainings to preselect weapon

 + Map Drawing:

      -- to be used in onGameInit() -- first set MapGen to mgDrawn and then use the commands below

      AddPoint(x, y [, width [, erase] ]) -- takes x,y location, a width (means start of a new line) and erase (if line should erase, not draw)

      FlushPoints() -- makes sure that all the points/lines specified using the command above are actually applied to the map

      Mapgens: mgRandom, mgMaze, mgPerlin, mgDrawn

      TSprite values

      LandFlags: lfIndestructible, lfIce, lfBouncy
