nobuild areas

[GoogleCodeExporter]

An idea frak came up with, hopefully a soon-to-be feature, nobuild areas
would allow you to disallow building in defined areas in the map, such as
the foggy bottom of ethereal. To define a nobuild area you would use
!nobuild (game units in area), from there it would do an area check if is a
defined nobuild spot. Logging of which would be by a nobuild.dat, which you
could define multiple spots based on maps. Using !nobuild would log to
nobuild.dat, and when you try to build in that area, it can be check within
g_build to see if that is a nobuild area.

Might be easier to add an invisible, unkillable buildable that just blocks 
access.  Unfortunately, it would require a 
layout to be loaded every time in order for it to be spawned.

Here is nobuild, pre-finished, type !nobuild (game units) ingame while standing 
in
the spot you want nobuilding to take effect, from there, if you wish to make 
this
load during every map load, type !nobuildsave and it will save the current 
nobuild
spots on the map. These are logged to *home*/base/nobuild/*mapname*.dat, so if 
you
want to remove nobuild from a map, just remove the .dat

This is still in beta, right?

When we get the human head placeholder working, and any bugs worked out, ill 
release 
a new qvm.

People on irc had mixed feelings.

Some shot it down, others heart.

Here! finally! iv redone nobuild a bit, its usage now is to run !nobuild 
(units) and
it will enable nobuild mode, from there you would select a buildable and resume
placing the buildable where you want nobuild to be, when placed it will spawn a
nobuild marker which from there you can save, and nobuild mode will be disabled 
after
the building is placed, if you mistakenly did !nobuild 50 when you meant to say
!nobuild 500, you simply type !nobuild again and it will disable nobuild mode.

against the 
very latest one, i added allstats and a few other things.

As paradox pointed out, there was a little issue with ethereal that allowed you 
to
build an egg down there, so here is a fix

Here is a fix for building on the rocks at the top, i tested a bit and saw it 
didnt
effect anything else so i guess it works fine.

For some reason, my scanning function was conflicting with other code in 
canbuild,
which would disable placing ontop of marked builds. I simply moved the code 
down to
the bottom of the function so it wouldn't mess with anything and bam, all fixed.
