Showtool: load a second model and clear the first.

Hi Folks,

i was discussing the issue of loading models in showtool with one of the artists i am working with. we both agreed that when you have many models that you need to load in showtool it gets very confusing when they are all stacked one on top of the other.

so i decided to make a small fix to the showtool code, unfortunantly for me while asking questions in the channel the Great MangoFusion instead of pointing me to the right direction gave me the code fix, so now i have to share the glory of the code snippit with him :P

okay to business:

1.open game->showTSshape.cc,
2.find line 804.

ConsoleFunction( showShapeLoad, void, 2, 3, "(string shapeName, bool faceCamera)")

3.replace

ShowTSShape * show = new ShowTSShape(argv[1]);

With:

// this should clear the old model and load a new one.
   ShowTSShape * show;
   if (ShowTSShape::currentShow != NULL)
   {
    ShowTSShape::currentShow->unregisterObject();
    delete ShowTSShape::currentShow;
    ShowTSShape::currentShow = NULL;
   }

   show = new ShowTSShape(argv[1]);

4.compile
5.run the new exe

you will notice that when you load a second model the first one will disappear.
hope this helps to anyone out there..
