19 GtkRadiant-1.5.0 Changes
20 ------------------------
23 Doom3 and Quake4 support with realtime lighting preview.
24 Added support for the original Quake.
32 Very fast, even with large changes.
33 Uses minimum memory, allowing very long undo queues.
34 All scene modifications now undoable, including:
35 Texture name/shift/scale/rotate on brushes and patches.
36 Vertex/edge/face manipulation.
37 Cloning, deleting, pasting, importing.
38 Entity key/value setting.
40 Per-polygon selection for all selectables, including:
41 Vertices, edges, faces, brushes, patches, models, entities.
42 Per-polygon area-selection for all selectables.
43 Edge/Vertex/Face mode automatically resets to Object mode when selection is cleared.
45 Maya-style tools for translate (w) and rotate (r):
46 Axis-constrained translate/rotate in 2d and 3d views.
47 Editing uses lazy evaluation to make movements smoother in complex scenes.
48 QE-style editing tool (q) provides old style editing.
50 Fast view-frustum culling, replacing cubic-clipping.
51 Batched state-sorted rendering:
52 Fast rendering of large scenes with many textures
53 Fast rendering of detailed mesh models.
54 Realtime lighting preview.
56 Directed Acyclic Graph backend:
57 Allows Maya-style "instancing" of sub-scenes (aka prefabs).
58 Edit one instance, other instances show updates in real time.
59 Maps can be loaded as misc_model.
60 - Outliner (aka entity lister):
61 Shows a tree-view of the current scene:
62 Non-modal window, updates automatically when scene graph changes.
63 Allows inspection/manipulation of scene graph.
64 Brushes can be moved between entities, and entities moved between maps.
67 Non-modal window, updates automatically when selection changes.
68 Displays GUI to edit certain keys, based on entity-definition.
69 Light texture key-entry GUI is auto-completed.
71 Non-modal window, updates automatically when selection changes.
72 Editing shortcuts: escape reverts current values to previous state, enter commits current values immediatly.
73 Applies shader seperately from shift/scale/rotate.
74 Shortcuts are active when surface inspector is visible/focussed.
75 Material name-entry is auto-completed based on currently-in-use materials.
77 Supports selecting and editing multiple vertices per brush.
78 CSG subtract algorithm does not suffer from false-positive intersection bug.
80 Selection/manipulation of multiple faces in 2d and 3d views.
81 Robust and fast B-Rep generation:
82 Safe manipulation of large brush selections.
83 Fast updates for brush operations on large maps.
87 Objects are filtered when their filterable attributes change.
89 Fast loading of large maps.
90 Loading of maps without worldspawns.
91 Quantised plane coordinates.
93 Preferences saving is atomic so that it cannot be corrupted by a crash during save.
94 All user-editable config files and per-user preferences are created in %appdata%/RadiantSettings/
95 Engine path stored in per-game preferences file and editable in preferences dialog.
96 Changing mod-name and engine path does not require a restart.
98 Instant window updates (used to be 40fps limited).
99 Fast startup/shutdown.
100 Automatic repositioning of separators in 4-way-split mode.
101 Console prints all undoable commands (and parameters) when executed and undone.
102 Status bar shows mode information.
103 New preferences layout, unused settings removed.
105 File = new/open/import/export
106 Edit = manipulate scene hierarchy and selection
107 View = toggle entityinspector/entitylist/surfaceinspector/camera/xy
108 edit camera/xy parameters
109 filters/hideshow/region

116 Fast texture cache lookups.
117 Gamma change without restarting.
119 New xml-scripted windows installer using Windows-Installer tech (.msi).
120 Linux version released as RPM package.
121 To avoid deletion on uninstall, shaderlist.txt is generated from default data in the application directory and copied to the game directory.
123 The map is only saved if the scene has been modified since the last full save.
124 Autosave/Snapshots are only saved if map has been modified since last full save.
125 Autosave saves as <mapname>.autosave.map.

128 Full stack-trace for assert/error on win32.
132 GtkRadiant-1.3.14 Changes
133 -------------------------
136 - clipper tool: select a patch mesh, and the clipper tool plane will be set to the patch's mesh (default shortcut X)
138 - texture find and replace menu can be used to select faces by matching texture (not only replacing textures anymore)
139 so you can apply fit and translate commands to the whole set
140 if you have brushes selected, it will select only within the selected brushes set
142 - new plugin: background image in the 2D view. scan your layout, use it as a background to build the structure..
143 - some fixes to the Z floating window
144 - added to ET and RTCW: hullcaulk, hintskip, and subtlehint (see below)
145 - fixed to CenterXYView shortcut, correctly bound to Shift+Control+Tab now
146 - added shortcuts to change the texture window scale
147 TextureWindowScaleup (Alt + Delete)
148 TextureWindowScaledown (Alt + Insert)
149 also fixed various oddities with the texture window behaviour
151 - more updates to quake2 and heretic2 support. BSP monitoring supported now.
154 - New: added support for _skybox entities to generate "portal sky"
155 surfaces in games w/o native support (Quake 3). _skybox entities have
156 3 keys: _scale (default 64), and angle/angles (for rotation of the
157 skybox relative to the map)
158 - New: added -skyfix switch to BSP phase as a workaround hack for
159 the black GL_CLAMP border on skybox edges on ATI (and newer nvidia)
160 video cards. Note: unnecessary in ET or JA
161 - New: Added _anglescale to light entities for scaling angle attenuation.
162 Use a small value (< 1.0) to lessen the angle attenuation, and a high
163 value (> 1.0) for sharper, more faceted lighting
164 - New: Added _lightmapscale support to misc_model entities
165 - Custom shaders (external lightmaps, styles) will not be generated
166 if the find/replace text cannot be found
167 - Tightened up light culling epsilon from 1.0 to 0.125 to stop certain
168 surface lights from being incorrectly culled (thanks RasputiN!)
169 - Fixed bug where small 3 and 4 sided brush faces were getting fanned,
170 adding triangle/vertex counts
171 - Moved to Visual Studio .NET, with aggressive optimizations enabled
172 - Cleaned up missing image warnings
173 - Parsing images out of shader stages if not found explicit/implicitly
174 - Loads Enemy Territory implicitMap images if editor/light image not found
176 - new sample maps for JA media
177 - MP SDK had a bunch of editing tools. Packaged those up with our JA media as well
178 look under Tools/ in the GtkRadiant game pack install
179 (default location C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\Radiant-1.3)
182 This is exactly the same as caulk, just has a different editor image so people
183 using the 'caulk hull' method of mapping can see at a glance what is part of the
184 hull and what is part of the detail brushes. It is up to the mapper follow the
188 This is exactly the same as skip, with 'hint' in the name so brushes with mixed
189 hint and skiphint faces will filter with the 'hints' filter. I didn't add a new
190 image for this, since it is functionally identical to skip.
193 hint without the surfaceparam hint. A lower priority hint which is sometimes
194 useful if you don't want the splits from your hint spreading out all the way to
195 block bounderies. You can mix it freely on a brush with normal hint and skip.

229 - Fixed bug in radiosity where sorting of lights by style took forever.
231 - Fixed bug in sun lighting code where maps too far off the origin would
232 not be properly it by sun or sky light. Thanks MindLink!
233 - Entity causing a leak will be printed and selected in Radiant if BSP
234 monitoring is enabled. Requested by heeen
235 - Fixed odd bug causing 10x slowdown in lighting in some maps. Should
236 be back to 2.5.7 performance. Also fixed a couple old bugs related to

332 fix is in q3map2, needs matching code in GtkRadiant - this is toggled by a preference item in BSP Monitoring menu:
333 http://www.qeradiant.com/wikifaq/index.php?Texturing%20Compatible%20with%20q3map2
334 seaw0lf & ydnar & Arnout
335 - new picomodel library - used in q3map2 and GtkR, provide load and rendering functionality for model formats

338 we expect the new Linux binaries to be much more compatible on different platforms
339 - linux build loads libGL.so.1 by default
340 James Monroe & RR2DO2 & TTimo
341 - added in-editor light envelope drawing.
342 Outer circle is max envelope, inner fullbright radius, center is effective light radius
343 Optional classic mode (see prefs dialog) emulates the similar drawing from Rituals and Ravens tools
344 (not q3map correct, easier for the level designer to understand/legacy)
346 - area selection in 2d view:
347 Alt+LMB (LMB=left mouse button): area select
348 Alt+Ctrl+Shift+LMB : additive area select
349 NOTE: with Alt+multidrag enabled in preferences, you only have additive
350 - vertex mode edit, vertex select (reminder: use V for vertex edit):
351 regular drag for select, Ctrl+drag for additive select. Works both in 2d view and 3d
352 - added 'angles' support for models misc_model/misc_gamemodel. (yaw-pitch-roll vector angle rotation)
353 note: this is supported in q3map2 only
354 - upped MAX_TEXTUREDIRS to 256 (from 128)
355 - added 'Paste to Camera' which pastes the contents of the clipboard to the current camera origin (shortcut: Alt+V)
356 - added centerview functionality to 4 window mode. Ctrl+tab will focus on the selection, or if non existant, on the camera.
357 - added botclip filter (filters *botclip* and *monsterclip*)
358 - added outline style cycling, cycle between z buffered outlines and selected colour rendering (shortcut: j)
359 - added menu Misc > Colors > Selected Brush (camera) - configure the color
360 of selected surfaces in the camera view
361 - third coordinate for clip points now gets set to the center of the selection
362 - changed arbitrary rotation dialog to accept negative angles as well
363 - changed texture alignment dialog to accept values up to 2 decimal points
364 - changed entity inspector so that tab doesn't clear the epair value field anymore,
365 so it retains the value while jumping to it.
366 - paint select in camera view:
367 press shift and move the mouse over the camera view to paint over brushes you want to select
368 use the preferences menu to configure: shift key is default, 'classic mode' is Ctrl+Alt
369 - misc_gamemodel drawing
372 - with clip or caulk filtered out, you could select invisible faces on partly drawn brushes
373 this is bug #556, there are still some issues with it
375 - added cascading to the entity menus. JKII NPC_* are all showing
376 - mark map modified on editing entity keys
377 - guard junk.txt path between " " (non monitored BSP)
378 - preferences: mouse AngleSpeed setting was getting clobbered. fixed and upped the max values
379 - RTCW setup: detect GOTY install from registry and use it as default path
381 - more work on texture compression, more compression options (S3TC support)
382 - IS scripts maintenance, media updates for JKII/SoF2/STVEF
384 - fixes to Linux setup scripts

395 see http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=526 for details
398 - misc GL code warnings fixes, improvements to the GL font code
401 - removed the "light 1" parameter from the shader files (RTCW & Q3)
402 this is an old/unsupported map compiler flag that was meant for shader flares
403 recent q3map versions produce .bsp that will crash RTCW/Q3 when used
404 - pk3 loading is case insensitive (loads .pk3 and .PK3)
405 - fixed a MAX_POINTS_ON_WINDING overflow situation in q3map (when reporting the error through debug stream)
406 - don't straffe when using Ctrl+Shift(+Alt)
409 - Soldier Of Fortune II support:
410 - complete game pack for Sof2 editing, latest tools, sample maps from Raven
411 - png support in GtkRadiant
412 - texture compression support. This requires OpenGL 1.3 drivers. Can be disabled with a preferences setting
413 the textures are manipulated in a compressed format on the card, memory bonus is about 1/3 improvement
414 Sof2 textures are eating up a LOT of memory, texture compression brings an improvement, but it's still very heavy on mem
415 there are still some potential improvements regarding memory footprint, this will be for later versions
418 - Star Trek Voyager: Elite Forces media/scripts updates
419 - Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast media/scripts updates, contains the new elements from the second official SDK
422 - camera plugin for RTCW, support for .camera files editing

446 - Q3 entities update: correct trigger_hurt spawnflags
447 - RTCW media update: misc .shader updates, and updated some .md3
448 there are still things to be looked at, cf. http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=539
449 - removed broken print XY view menu item. Use a screen capture tool for now
450 - fixed broken game spawning after compilation in RTCW mode
451 - changing texture window scale no longer changes selected brushes texture
452 - workaround for empty gtk error box on non-english Windows installs (was i18n problem)
454 GtkRadiant 1.2.8 (Jedi Knight II release) Changes
455 -------------------------------------------------
458 - improved the editor console logs when compiling in non-monitored mode
459 - JKII game pack, JKII specific tweaks

478 current selection (bugzilla: #436)
479 - fixed entity dialog passing events through to main window (bugzilla: #454) return values
481 - patching in the .pfb extension adding stuff (bugzilla: #259)
482 - fixed thickened patches not being grouped (bugzilla: #226). this was supposed to be happening
483 anyway, the entity create code was called before the patches were selected
484 - setting the sel_mode accordingly when (i)nverting selection, verts were being drawn when
485 they shouldn't have been
486 - fixes to Curry and PrtView (proper prefs load/save, curry logo on Linux)
487 - fixed patches losing their shader if outside region when calling flush/reload
488 - added filtering on unselect for newly created brushes/entities

502 the easiest way to check if a new version is available
503 - cleanup of the project settings dialog. Removed a lot of unused / outdated / confusing settings we had
505 - fixed the Shift+Click shortcut to edit shaders. Fixed crashes and behaviour in the internal shader editor.
506 on Win32, either use internal editor, or use win32 .shader association to open
507 on Linux, Gef added prefs to select custom shader command
508 NOTE: we don't have a free text editor for win32 that allows to jump to a given line after you open
509 the file. If anyone has this around, please send the info along.
511 GtkRadiant 1.2.6 Changes
512 ------------------------
515 - fixed the shader scripts so that the sky in escape1 is ok again (new skies.shader)
516 - safer find and replace (denies malformed shader names)

543 entities being cross-linked when copied have their target/targetname
544 updated to maintain the links
545 - find brush dialog window has correct title
546 - linux setup tweaking
548 GtkRadiant 1.2.4 Changes
549 ------------------------
555 - -nopatchfix argument. This disables lightmap patch fixes and makes a map suitable for lighting with -vlight.
556 - Degenerate patches are treated like broken brushes. They are ignored, warned about, and selected in Radiant if you ran with the -connect option (or from the BSP menu). This was what was causing the "0 valued axis" error some people were experiencing.
559 - "_lightmapscale" key for brush entities (worldspawn, func_*). This lets a mapper scale the lightmap samplesize per-entity. For large constructions, 2.0 or 3.0 is a fine value, and keeps BSP size down and compile times low. For those areas you want to have high-detail shadows, make a func_group and use a value of 0.25 or so. It will scale the samplesize value for the surface's shader (default 16) or the -samplesize argument.
560 - "modelscale" and "modelscale_vec" keys for misc_models (1.0 = default). This was for proper RTCW support and is available for Quake 3 maps as well. Lets you scale up map models in the world, getting around the MD3 size limitation. The next build of GtkRadiant has SPoG's code to support this in-editor so you can see what effect a scale has.
561 - Flare surfaces are now supressed from the BSP. They serve no purpose other than add to the vert & surfacecount in a BSP. These surfaces were created silently when a shader has "light 1" or "q3map_flareshader X." Use the new -flares switch when BSPing your map to have them emitted.
564 - GtkRadiant 1.2.4-nightly version increment.
565 - Full WolfSDK style lighting enabled with -game wolf, including lightJuniors. This includes linear lights by default (no angle attenuation) and support for the additional RTCW "fade" and "angle" keys, and spawnflag changes, including q3map_nondynamic on light entities. This may require maps being constructed for RTCW with the current toolset to change their light entities. Sorry. :) Note, Wolf-style lighting only works with -light, and not -vlight.
566 - Vertex light stitching now uses a near-ambient light check for dark vertexes as opposed to lower-than-average fixups. This preserves some shadow detail better while getting the buried verts lit properly. Comments encouraged.
567 - Surfaces' samplesize are now stored in the BSP. This change makes BSPs generated from this version incompatible with all other q3maps. The upside is that -samplesize N is no longer necessary on the -light or -vlight stage. This feature is necessary to support the "_lightmapscale" key.
568 - Additional PVS optimizations in lighting.
571 - Will compile for RTCW properly (1.2.1-y12 didn't).
572 - No more sparklies where fog meets brush faces. They're split properly now.
573 - Crash bug in vlight fixed.
574 - Vertex light fixups/stitching is considerably faster.
575 - Vertex light fixups ONLY stitch faces with lightmaps. For pointlight surfaces you're on your own.
576 - Better snapping logic when merging nearly-coincident vertexes on complex brush windings.
577 - Bug where the .prt file had some bogus or nearly-borked portals. They're cleaned up like everything else now.
578 - A few stupid bugs in path initialization. Should work better. Also includes TTimo's fixes to my code so it would work properly on Linux.
579 - RR2DO2's PCX loading patch for alphamaps. This bug was manifesting itself in the form of offset or incorrect samples being used on terrain entities.

624 ---------------------------
628 GtkRadiant 1.2.1 Changes
629 ---------------------------
633 Modular architecture. During startup the editor gets configured to load specific modules,
634 which direct it's functionalities. The immediate consequence is the ability to support
635 several games in a more easy and clean way. The editor core installs in a central location
636 (on win32, C:\Program Files\GtkRadiant), and installs it's game specific modules and
637 programs in 'game packs' folders (C:\Program Files\Return To Castle Wolfenstein\Radiant
638 and C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\Radiant typically).
640 List of the main modules and their functionalities:
641 - map module, read/write from/to file and memory
642 - shaders management module
644 - models loading, editing and display (.md3 currently)
645 - image formats loader
647 Return To Castle Wolfenstein is the first additional game supported by the 1.2 architecture,
648 along with Quake III Arena / Quake III: Team Arena

1035 in Radiant directory
1036 - project settings templates:
1037 the project settings file format has changed a bit.
1038 it has version information now, and the setups come with a new quakev2.qe4 file
1039 the project files are true templates, Radiant will read them and then store actual
1040 project settings it uses in baseq3/scripts/user0.qe4 user1.qe4 etc.
1041 - new compilation monitoring
1042 GtkRadiant comes with a modified version of q3map that reports to GtkRadiant through
1043 the network. You get the output of q3map in the console window. And the compiling
1044 errors can be processed (currently it detects leaks)
1046 before running Quake 3 Arena to playtest your maps, you can put Radiant to sleep:
1047 manually with File > Sleep command
1048 automatic if you compile and set "Activate sleep mode when running the engine"
1050 Q3Radiant 202 Changes

1058 -added functions to the GL interface for PrtView
1059 GL plugins now get the camera position information
1062 -fixed sound and model assignment. project files are supposed to be written with
1063 short path names. If it's not it might break. Added fixes in sound and model
1064 assignement to go around the problem. Too late before next release to try
1065 adding automatic clamping to short path name of the project file.
1066 -high color is always on, it's a remnant from Q2
1067 -some fixes to find the default project file and interpret it when it's a template
1068 -proper error handling in the JPEG library, no longer crashes on progressive jpegs
1069 -added a "shaderlist.txt only" option to the texture menu, will display only the
1070 .shader files listed in shaderlist. Workaround for the 127 texture count limit.

1073 that are not referenced in shaderlist.txt
1074 -texture menu shows .shader files that don't have an associated texture directory
1075 -storing "don't select curves" and "don't select models" from the toolbar in the registry
1076 -alpha channel: some buggy textures have a nearly empty alpha channel and they might be
1077 invisible if used in a shader script with qer_trans. Will now show up blank-transparent.
1078 Best is to fix the alpha channel of the texture by saving it as 24bits instead.
1079 Or disable alpha channel support in the prefs (added a new checkbox)
1080 WARNING: disabling alpha channel might break curry on some shaders
1081 about the WARNING: .. has empty alpha message:
1082 this means Radiant detected on these buggy textures, alpha channel will be completely ignored
1083 -speed improvements: added hash tables, improves map load (Map_BuildBrushData) and
1084 texture find/replace. More or less evolves in log n with size of the map instead of previous n^2
1085 -fixed some notepad spawning crashes + will be better at finding shader definitions
1086 -added "HOME" keyword when parsing user prefs keyboard shortcuts for HOME key (heh)
1087 -fixed duplicate HideSelected command in the Help > Command list, added proper ShowHidden to the command list
1088 -fixed a crash when max texture directories reached (currently 127)

1122 NOTE: ICQ will intercept the shortcut key .. if someone has a solution for this let me know
1123 -disabled the qer_nocarve check for CSG-MERGE operations, you can merge hint brushes now
1124 -added a temporary Radiant.pid file to intercept crashes during the startup sequence and prompt for a registry cleanup
1125 (some bogus registry settings might cause a crash before entering the interactive mode)
1126 -clip filtering works same way as caulk, if hide clip will still display non-clip faces on clip brushes
1127 -console keeps scrolling
1128 -Ctrl+H shortcut toggles show/hide Hint brushes
1129 -199->200 stability fixes:
1130 fixed Shift+A SelectAllOfType on patches

1135 (reducing the parseEntity: { not found errors)
1136 blocking classname editing from the edit field of the entity inspector
1139 better Undo on fixed size entities (like misc_models and weapons)
1140 some bugs in undo create bogus worldspawn entities that corrupt the map.
1141 Loading several worldspawn will merge them in the primary one.
1142 Radiant will drop supiscious worldspawn entities at save time
1143 -find/replace bug fixes (still needs some work in BP mode)
1144 -fixed broken View > Show In Use
1145 -fixed installer problems

1180 -loading a texture directory will: load all the shaders in that directory, and load all
1181 the remaining textures that have no shader.
1182 -shaders parsing: when several definitions for a shader exist, first is used
1183 -better GetLastError message processing on error
1184 -fixed Fit command in surface inspector for BP mode
1185 -prefs choice "vertex editing splits faces"
1186 -3 points clipping and brush creating, third coordinate in 2D view is based on the "work zone"
1188 q3radiant 182-197 Changes
1189 -------------------------
1191 + textures are now loaded with their alpha channel. was a required feature for
1192 the Curry plugin. Some issues have surfaced with 32bit TGA files having an
1193 empty alpha channel. (the textures were totally transparent in the camera view)
1194 these files are buggy and need replacing by either a 24bit TGA, or a proper
1197 fixed L shortcut for entity list
1198 fixed M shortcut for map info
1199 fixed Ctrl + \ for cubic clipping
1200 fixed Ctrl + Shift + K for next leak spot
1201 fixed R shortcut for mouse rotation
1202 + brush grouping: not functional yet. Needs Brush Primitives (BP) to be turned on.
1203 basic infrastructure for grouping is done
1204 + fixed View > Show > Show angles checkbox
1205 + fixed BP file load / save and loading old format from BP mode.
1206 + fixed q3map to read BP map format
1208 Plugins API (TTimo):
1211 + Added GL bindings to IGL interface
1212 + New IBSPFrontend interface to override the BSP menus
1213 + New IMessaging interface for message broadcasting to plugins
1214 + New IPluginEntities interface to allow plugins to render
1215 and interact in the Radiant windows
1216 + New IShaders interface for more textures / shaders support
1217 + Fixed GL context issues, texture binding would fail if binded to a plugin's GL context
1219 q3radiant 180-181 Changes
1220 -------------------------
1221 -q3map will read jpegs from disk
1222 -remove junk.txt before very bsp, fixes a crash
1223 -fixed gamma changing crash
1224 -fixed thickening multiple patch crash
1225 -fixed hollowing patch crash
1226 -reworked how keys are mapped
1227 -key binding should work again
1228 -ctf spawn points show angles
1232 -q3map will read jpegs from disk
1233 -fixed crash on texure loads of less than 4K ( jpeg only )
1238 see the bspc.txt file
1244 -Prefs are NOT retained when moving to 179 (or later) from earlier versions ( than 179 )
1245 -Windows are all stacked when switching to floating window mode. You must manually align them as you like.
1246 -You must manually run the bot bsp'r if you want bots to be able to run around
1247 -I have not tested plugins extensively with this version but will do so over the next day or so.
1248 -Need to clean up several small memory leaks
1254 The editor/tool install MUST be installed in the same directory as Quake 3 Arena. This means if you installed Quake 3 Arena in c:\quake3\ you MUST point the tool installer at that path.
1256 If you want bot support in your maps, you must manually run the bot bsp tool. It is in the \YourQ3InstallPath\Tools\ directory and is called 'bspc.exe'. After you have produced a bsp, you can execute it like:
1258 bspc -bsp2aas c:\quake3\baseq3\maps\mymap.bsp
1260 The editor and included q3map support a new feature called brush primitives. This provides per vertex coordinates for texturing as opposed to per face shift/rotate/scale values. This is a good thing. This is not enabled by default ( you can do so in the project dialog ) but it is still considered experimental AND it changes the map format. A plugin that also supports it will be available soon on www.qeradiant.com. We will be moving to this new format soon but currently use the old format. Consider brush primitives "subject to change" but we are going this direction.
1262 Once installed properly, you should be able to open q3dm1sample.map, choose "BSP - Fast Vis" and within a few minutes you should be able to run around in that map. Remember you must have sv_pure set to 0 to load up maps that do not exist in the pk3 file.
1264 If you shift click on a shader ( white framed texture in the texture window ) AND you have EditPad installed and available on the path ( or the Tool directory ) it will open up EditPad and position the cursor on the shader definition within the shader. EditPad can be had at http://www.jgsoft.com/ , it is a nice replacement for Notepad.
1271 -The color coding for failed texture loading has changed, blue and black for failed textures, red and black for failed shaders.
1272 -clip/hint brushes default to NOT shown
1273 -default to bilinear display mode
1274 -default to 50% texture window scale
1275 -bsp text is piped to console and text file
1276 -Project dialog tab order is correct
1277 -Project dialog no longer truncates entries ( it still needs work )
1278 -Drastically reduced memory consumption
1279 -Skins are now cached and only loaded once
1280 -Mirroring on X or Y axis properly flips misc_models and angles
1283 -Plugins can now load files from pk3 files ( transparent to the plugin )
1284 -Shaders can now load from pk3 files
1285 -Failed shaders no longer load a "notexture" image
1286 -Shaders are loaded from shaderlist.txt instead of *.shader
1287 -Shader texture loading is deferred based on All, Common or None rules. New Pref based on this.
1288 -Models can now load from pk3 files
1289 -Fixed Win98 Copy/Paste bug
1290 -Fixed Win98 BSP execution bug
1291 -Project info dialog sucks less
1292 -Properly handle long path names ( embedded spaces mainly ) when calling q3map.
1293 -Better bsp execution, output is piped to dos window and console
1294 -Q2/Q3 Pref handling works
1295 -Finished Installation
1296 -Better defaults all around
1297 -Better window resizing, defer'd decision to default to floating window resizing.
1298 -Fixed crash on loading new projects
1299 -Seperated block allocator and actual size allocator to reduce memory overhead
1300 -Failed textures only try to load once
1301 -Failed MD3's only try to load once
1302 -Cleaned up shader loading
1303 -Editor loads without requiring information from the user the first time ( assuming it was installed in the right place )
1304 -Fixed case comparision problems with some PK3 file contents
1305 -Fixed allocation bug when cleaning out PK3 files on project reload
1310 - Copy/Paste now uses the Win32 mechanism. This greatly speeds up editor to editor copy/paste.
1316 - Hide and Unhide brush(s). Hide ( View Menu and 'H' ), hides the selected brushes. Shift-H shows anything previously hidden.
1317 - Fit functionality in the Surface dialog no longer fubars the FIT exiting the dialog via OK or APPLY.
1318 - Copy/Paste now functions between two open copies of the editor
1319 - Textures | Show In Use now pays attention to Patches.
1320 - The editor will now properly find a default project based on the assumption it lives in the \quake3\q3radiant\ path
1324 - Pref Dialog now has functioning Q3 and Q2 options.
1325 - ASE Model load. Should be bug free in another evening.
1327 - Model Plugins for supporting various model types ( MD4, TIKI, MEN, ASE ) This is essentially moving all of the model preview, interaction, and animation to a plugin to clean the code up.
1330 - The new file format changes and new texturing is finished but based on the probable ship date(s), I dont feel comfortable mucking with the map format at this time. This code will be used in the new editor or can be rolled out once Q3 is gone.
1337 - Control + Shift + X toggles crosshairs
1338 - Added Fit functions to surface dialog. These are more test stuff than anything as the new texturing capabilities coming with the new file format will allow much more versatile texturing.
1341 -New file format changes, true ST texturing for brushes, automatic conversion. This will happen soon.
1346 -Control + Texture Click to apply texture applies with proper scale on angled faces.
1351 -Crash when edge dragging brushes with more than 1K points (total)
1357 -Shift-C cap current patch
1358 -Shift-A will now highlight all patches and caps based on 1. the currently selected face or 2. the current texture if there is no brush or face selected. If a brush is selected it still searches and highlights based on entity class.
1363 -Texture lock status information, on the right edge status pane, L:move,rotate status. so L:MR means both move and rotate are selected, L: R means just rotate, etc.. Shift-R and Shift-T are hotkeys (always have been) for the locking. Help|Command List has a list of all bound keys.
1366 -Curve primitives moved from a submenu back to the root.
1369 -Crash when pressing 'v' with large number of brushes selected.
1375 -Brush | Primitive | Sphere - With grip snapping on, this produces some pretty odd faces, not sure what they will look like in game as I have not run one through the tools. If you turn off grid snapping they are constructed very well but as soon as you turn it on and then save/load everything gets snapped. This shows that the current implementation of grid snapping is pretty useless if used as a toggle. I am looking into some painless ways to deal with this (from a users point of view)
1378 -The current selection is no longer de-selected when a texture directory is loaded.
1379 -The default increment for texture manipulation on patches was change to 0.05 from 0.10. You can also type in much smaller or larger increments into the dialog which will then be used.
1382 -Crash when using the clipper on a curve.
1389 -Edit | Load Prefab... This was there but it now uses .pfb as the default extension for prefabs. MAKE SURE and set the full prefab path you want to use in prefs.
1390 -Edit | Save selection as Prefab... This saves the current selection as a prefab. Defaults to the pref'd prefab location and .pfb extension.
1392 I am working on a preview window that will be used for these and misc_models. Look for that in a few days.
1394 I also discussed grouping (i.e. func_groups) with John a visit or so ago and the current plan is to add key/val pairs to brushes and patches and do away with func_groups. This will allow a lot of flexibility for grouping (hiearchial, named things) as well as other areas too. I will be presenting the overall plan to John soon and if we go with that then this will allow the prefabs to be grouped problem etc.
1401 -misc_model bounding box size on intitial creation
1402 -copying/pasting a misc_model did not update the active edit entity
1403 -misc_models will not continually try to load if the MD3 is not found
1406 -Origin drawing on misc_models, this is what is snapped to grid
1407 -Pref to turn off 'Show Shader' checkbox
1408 -Show Shader checkbox to prefs
1409 -Shift-A with a selected face selects all brushes that 'contain' that faces texture
1412 -Assigning a new model to a rotated misc_model screws the bounding box up
1417 -Texture replacement bug when regioning.
1421 MAJOR changes internally with this version. Make sure everything is backed up. There should not be anything destructive in it but this is a good precaution. There may still be some memory leaks from the new patch storage stuff, those will be addressed in 156.
1424 -Patch storage, no longer fixed size, unlimited patches.
1427 -Undo, should now work in many more cases, and with patches. (this has been tested the least)
1428 -Cap texturing. Worked in my test cases. If you get a cap that does not texture properly I added
1429 |a key combo for cycling the axis face it textures against. Ctrl+Shift+N does this.
1432 -OpenGL Lighting, turn it on via the view menu. Provides consistent shading/preview between brushes/patches
1433 -New vertex handling, not enabled at present. Still tweaking.
1434 -SHIFT-A selects all entities based on the current selected entity.
1439 -Another instance of entity copy/crash across maps.
1445 -Show Entities toggle does not fool with func_group'd stuff
1451 -Copying brushes across a new map load no longer continually copies them on each subsequent new map
1457 -Shift clicking a shader in the texture window now spawns "EditPad" and places the cursor at the apporpriated place.
1459 -Patch Inspector (Shift-S) allows access to all patch data and dups surface patch handling. Only works with one patch at a time. If mutliples are selected it uses the latest. This is not quite finished but works.
1461 -Sound player in the Sound Open Dialog (entity window)
1464 -Crash when 'Capping' a brush.
1466 Fun Stuff in progress
1467 - MD3 -> Patches. Drop an entire MD3 as a grouped set of patches.
1472 -Texture show all command.
1473 |Behaviour is as follows:
1474 | 1. Show in use, shows in use.
1475 | 2. Show all, shows everything.
1476 | 3. Showing a particular path, only shows textures in that path. Show All or In Use
1477 | can be used to un-narrow the view.
1479 Ctrl-A is the show all hotkey.
1482 Build 147-149 changes
1483 ---------------------
1485 -misc_model entity preview bug
1486 -Texture show in use now works properly
1487 -a few shader issues
1493 - Copy/Paste entities across maps crash
1494 - A ton of memory leaks
1497 - Shift-TAB works in bend mode
1498 - Pointfile is removed on file saves
1503 - misc_models no longer shift during save/load
1504 - misc_models copy/paste correctly
1505 - misc_models paint when first assigned
1506 - assigning a new model name to misc_models works
1509 - Shaders have white border in texture palette
1510 - New shader test code based on the fact that shaders are not directory oriented. On by default, to return
1511 | to the old method, turn "Shader Test" off in prefs and restart. This behaviour loads all of the shaders
1512 | at load time and provides the ability to turn off shader display in the palette. The editor MUST FIND
1513 | qer_editorimage in order to work properly with these (this is true for the old stuff too). This should
1514 | fix the shader xref problems.
1520 - MD3's are now origin'd properly with their bounding boxes
1521 - Plugin texture load bug
1524 - Texture quality slider (prefs). This can drastically reduce memory and increase speed at the expense of visual quality.
1525 - Shader support for MD3's, proper shader is pulled per surface (assuming it is tga)
1526 - Multple MD3's can be assigned on a per entity basis. Seperate them with a ';'
1527 | i.e. model=models/players/medium/visor/head.md3;models/players/medium/visor/lower.md3; etc.
1528 - Added 'frame=' specifier (0 based) to entity preview to use a particular frame for preview
1529 | This is still a bit fubar'd
1530 - Subdirectory map support ala Raven
1531 - 'color' entity setting ala Raven
1532 - Shader 'qer_editorimage' textures are now load deferred until their parent texture directory is loaded
1533 - Full Plugin support
1534 - You can now override surface dialog names with a plugin (not much use for q3)
1537 - After assigning a model or sound, focus is given back to XY
1538 - If you right click and add a misc_model, the entity window is automatically
1539 | switched to and the add model dialog is activated
1540 - Models no longer try to load if they fail once
1541 - Prefs layout. Still ugly.
1547 - qer_editorimage behaviour
1549 Build 136-137 Changes
1550 ---------------------
1552 - qer_editorimage flag to shader parsing
1553 - md3 support for entities
1554 - md3 support for misc_model <- this works but it is a cluster fuck of code
1555 | the code tries to pick up the same name for a skin (in the same path)
1556 | grid snapping is not happening, i need to fix this
1557 | some models (like pentagram1.md3) appear to be OFF as far as their constructed origin
1558 | others (all others that i tried) are correct
1559 | Free rotation does not work for these but the entity rotation stuff works fine
1560 - Model... button in entity window for assigning model=value to current entity
1561 - Sound... button in entity window for assigning sound=value to current entity
1568 - qer_trans flag use 'qer_trans sometransvalue' marks a shader as transparent
1569 - patches draw transparent based on shader information
1570 - default fog setting changed from 0.15 to 0.35
1571 - Plugin menu added (non functional yet)
1572 - Fonts default to standard windows gui font for improved readibility
1573 - Textures associated with a shader have [] around the name
1574 - Shift-clicking a texture associated with a shader brings up the shader in notepad
1577 -Max brush size bumped to 8192 (Brian Hook for testing), did not test with build tools
1580 -Entity dialog lets you type in more than visible space for key/val pairs
1581 -Transparent bug when transparent brushes painted in front (visually) of a curve
1587 -Ctrl+Shift+P, this cycles the cap texturing axis on the selected cap. Basically, until
1588 I figure out what the heck is wrong with the auto stuff, use this to correctly texture
1589 a cap that is fubar'd.
1590 -CAP texture button in surface dialog. This does the same as above but uses the default
1591 axis finder (which has the bug).
1592 -Matrox transposition
1597 -Test code for thickening. It was hooked into overlay clear... oops.
1600 -csg ignores patch symbiot brushes
1606 -Shift vertex (row/col) selection for patches.
1611 - Temporarily reverted back to patchDef2 .map file format.
1617 -.map patch format, added 'type' field. not used anywhere except the editor (at least for now)
1618 - Patch vertex manipulation. The editor tries to pick all existing points from other patches as well
1619 |You will want to do area selection (in an XY-type view tp select thick patch points if you want to drag
1620 |everything related to the thick patch
1623 - ESC will deselect any patch vertex points selected instead of going completely out of vertex mode
1624 |This only happens with patch vertex selection
1625 - Thick patches, Curve | Thicken... or press Ctrl + T. The thickening happens away from the texture
1626 |side of the patch. So if you want something to thicken inwards, make sure the texture is facing out.
1633 -Texture Flush (forces a new map, then a total texture flush)
1634 |One small nit on this is that if you create a brush before loading a new set of textures it
1635 |will use one of the recently loaded textures instead of the default no texture (blue and black checkerboard)
1637 |Ctrl + I invertest the patch,
1638 |Shift + I inverts texture in X,
1639 |Ctrl + Shift + I inverts texture in Y
1640 -Overlay function for patches. Turn on|off using menus or press 'Y' to make a patch an overlay and
1641 |ctrl+shift+Y to clear all overlays
1644 -Inverted beveles cap and texture properly
1650 -Patch texture inverting. Ctrl + Shift + I. I think this does what you wanted.
1651 -'S'urface dialog grabs texture name from a single selected patch
1654 -Capping bevels makes the cap the right shape but the 3rd point is not on the right plane.
1655 In most cases you can move it and snap it to the right place. Texturing is not all fucked
1656 up anymore either. Once I hear back from John on my math stupidity, I will finish fixing it.
1657 These statements are probably only true for non-bent bevels.. bending will probably screw
1663 -Fine tune texturing for Patches. Using the surface dialog, you can type in very small
1664 (3 decimal places) numbers for fine tuning on both scale and shift. Currently you can
1665 only fine tune with the Surface dialog, I am in the process of adding a fine tune settings
1666 dialog for use with the keypad keys.
1671 -TAB cycles through any entity grouped brush
1672 -Texture window can now be scaled by 10, 25, 50, 100, 200%
1673 -Texture window now has a optional scroll bar, turn it on in prefs
1675 -Texture path linkage
1676 Put a "textureinfo.ini" file in a texture directory and add the following
1679 Path0 = e:\games\quake2\plop\textures\24 bit\
1681 You can have Path0 - Path9 as inclusive directories. The linked pathes will not
1682 load and process link information to keep someone from linking two paths together
1683 and causing an endless loop
1689 -Ctrl-P Toggle show patches
1695 -Model preview load code which was probably causing brandon's crash
1701 -Ctrl S was already bound to File | Save
1702 -Ctrl C is bound to standard windows Copy
1713 -ALT + Shift click will cycle through "selectable" brushes along the
1714 line of site from the mouse click. Works in all views. This is cool.
1718 -Show curves works properly
1721 -Shifting textures on patches should honor scale (cannot dup)
1722 -Disperse columns crashes (cannot dup)
1723 -Capping bevels is messed up
1724 -cap texturing may still be fubar'd
1725 -Thick pipe primitive
1726 -Scale origin + point scale similar to rotate. Will allow fluted stuff etc..
1731 -Capping (with dialog for Bevels and Endcaps)
1736 -Yet another surface dialog glitch
1737 -Area selection tool paints in all xy oriented views
1742 -Surface dialog face selection bug
1747 -'B' - toggles Bend mode
1750 -Naturalized texturing on patches
1751 -Bend whackiness on intial drag during start of a bend
1752 -Setting bend rotation axis in XY Top view
1758 -Ctrl 'I' - inverts a curve
1759 -Ctrl 'Numpad +' adds a row
1760 -Ctrl 'Numpad -' removes a row
1761 -Ctrl+Shift 'Numpad +' adds a column
1762 -Ctrl+Shift 'Numpad -' removes a column
1763 -Ctrl 'E' - redisperses rows
1764 -Ctrl+Shift 'E' - redisperses columns
1765 -Ctrl 'G' snaps patches to the nearest grid
1766 -Surface control dialog now allows values to be typed in and applied to patches.
1767 This is working except for shifts which still go in .9 and 1.1 amounts.
1770 -Regioning no longer puts a top and bottom on the region
1775 -Area selection. Works in 3 xy views but only draws in the xy view. I will look into this asap.
1778 -Selection point size for vertex mode with patches. i.e. The handles for dragging patch points around are bigger.
1783 -Inverted curve options removed from menu
1784 -Bevels and endcaps are contsructed properly
1785 -Endcaps will not work for bevels and endcaps
1790 -shift middle clicking a light now adds the correct average color based on .TGA files
1791 -display updates properly when using TAB to go between func_group'd brushes
1792 -Patch texture rotation is much better. Still not completely perfect but should be usable.
1798 -TAB cycles through func_grouped brushes
1799 -textures with a shader have a [] wrapped around the name in the texture window
1800 -shift + left clicking on a shader texture in the texture window will bring up notepad with the shader file
