Ok I've added comments, that should give you enough info to deal with
these, anyone have any complaints for me setting the following tool tips?
texture/image StField button: "Denotes this is a Standard Field"
(Vs Unstandard I guess, basically there are two functions for how to
de_interlace the image and this toggles which one to use)
> - the texture/blend Ease button
texture/blend Ease button: "Uses a more complicated blend function."
quad uses Tin*=Tin;
ease uses: t= Tin*Tin;
Tin= (3.0*t-2.0*t*Tin);

I would change these to say Wall In [tooltop "Creates Dimple"]
Wall Out [tooltip "Creates Ridges"]
Basically if you look at the Preview Wall in makes it looks like there are
dimples in the texture and Wall Out makes it look like there are ridges.
