Custom radiant + noOb compiler

[TittenIgnition]

!FAIL! textures/gothic_light/gothic_light3_2K_nonsolid
reason: is located in gothic_light_2.shader,
containing restricted shader textures/gothic_light/border7_ceil39_6k

Can I get rid of this? I want to pack everything without prejudice, because these are non-baseq3 shaders and I want to clean it all up in the end on my own.

Yes, you can move or edit .exclude file, but i'd rather put required shaders to yourmapname.shader, so they could be autopacked normally.


Update!

Radiant changes:

binds...

• Tab: focus camera on selected
  
• m1 + shift drag: snapped modes of manipulators:
  freedrag: constrain to axis with biggest move amount
  rotate axis: snap to angles, multiple of 15'
  scale axis: scale all axes synchronously
  scale free: scale axes with non zero drag synchronously (i.e. two visible ones in projection views)

menus...

• Modify->Nudge:+ Nudge +Z, Nudge -Z

misc...

• shader editor lives on top of main window
  
• csg tool: 'active projection' exclusion method instead of axis selection
  
• csg tool: new 'selected faces' & 'cam direction' exclusion methods
  
• new active projection dependent commands MirrorSelectionHorizontally, MirrorSelectionVertically,
  RotateSelectionClockwise, RotateSelectionAnticlockwise + toolbar buttons
  
• snap transform origin for rotate 90' commands (is good to stay on grid)
  
• 2d camera icon in ZY, ZX views represents yaw aswell
  
• M3 camera direction control: disabled snapping
  
• M3 camera direction control: affect yaw instead of doing pitch > 90' in ZY, ZX views
  
• fix of: ctrl+m3 in 2d, release ctrl, then m3: m3 drag works like with ctrl pressed
  
• removed 2 buttons mouse option: was only affecting m3 camera control binds
  
• fix of: press any modifier (ctrl/shift/alt) + any mouse, release modifier, then mouse = chase mouse broken
  
• removed 'Right Button Activates Context Menu' preference
  
• brushExport plugin, prtview plugin, bobToolz::Polygon Builder, about, textures reset, messagebox windows live on top of main window
  
• removed 'Update views on camera move' option: camera icon updating is enough quick
  
• fix: bobToolz::split patch rows+columns - works if rows = 3 ( clos and rows were mixed up in general )
  
• entitySetColour, entityNormalizeColour are undoable
  
• bobToolz::splitPatch commands place result into parent entity (worldspawn or group one)
  
• bobToolz::mergePatches places result into last selected patch's parent entity
  
• bobToolz::mergePatches: remove left empty group entities
  
• SelectAllOfType works for group entities, whose brush(es) are selected (no parent node selection needed).
  Algorithm is: get [ent inspector's keyName field(if visible) or classname]'s keyValues of selected ents ('no key' counts, as property, too);
  Then select ents with according keyName+keyValues; Worldspawn is omitted;
  Otherwize (nothing or worldspawn selected) select primitives, holding selected texture;
  in 'Faces' component mode = select specifically faces, holding selected texture;
  
• SelectAllOfType selects child primitives of group entities
  
• ExpandSelectionToEntities works for worldspawn entity too
  
• fix: CameraFreeMoveUp, CameraFreeMoveDown shortcuts are editable
  
• prism, cone prefabs: increased precision
  
• fix: out of pivot rotating is active from start, no additional magic is needed for that
  
• fix: could lock (but not set) transform origin in non-pivoted mode
  
• arbitrary rotation dialog allows decimals
  
• fix: grid rendering with ToggleGridSnap off
  
• fix of: scale tool scale, locked to 1 for things w/o bbox with bigger grid (e.g. single misc_model)
  (snapped drag start was = 0, scale func depends on initial click point: closer to center = more extreme scaling)
  
• fix: make detail / structural are undoable
  
• default autosave period: 5 -> 15 minutes
  
• texBro option: hide nonShaders in common folder; def = yes; are shown on 'show all'

[w-w]

awesome stuff. All we need now is an updater!

I always redo all my settings/shortcuts in editor. Which is a bit annoying, maybe tag onto the description which settings files are safe to copy over. Would save some hassle when updating not having to worry about the fiddling,

[Le another black niger]

It is completely 'safe' to copy whole 'settings' dir;
Or you can omit using settings dir, then settings will live in system appdata folder.

There was some not spotted problem with 2nd way in new windowses; app had no rights or something.
The problem with both ways: if i change some bind (for instance, did that for Q) or setting, or (change default build menu + user have customized one), then user wont get changes (since ppl(people) can't read the log ).

Update!

Q3map2:

• -backsplash (float)scale (float)distance: scale area lights backsplash fraction + set distance globally
  (distance < -900 to omit distance setting); def = 1 23; real area lights have no backsplash (scale = 0)
  q3map_backsplash shader keyword overrides this setting
  
• fix: parsing of /* */ comments, having * or / inside

Radiant changes:

• alt + m1 click/drag in component modes: select objects
  
• m3 in texbro: select texture w/o applying to selection
  
• `: XYFocusOnSelected
  
• ctrl + shift + e: Select Connected Entities

[SlugWobblerBumbleChops]

Is it possible to expose the FOV of the 3d view in preferences? It would be pretty useful to be able to set the FOV to match what I see in-game.

[Le another black niger]

Ye, that looked not super-hard to do, is in todo list -)

[SlugWobblerBumbleChops]

Brilliant, thanks!

Another request if poss...could you add an option to "maintain grid offset" when pasting to camera? By that I mean... currently when you paste an object to camera it positions the pasted object so that the centre of its bounds falls on the centre of the nearest grid point to the camera. Depending on the size of the bounds of the pasted object this can be annoying as I often have to go into a fine grid and nudge it back so it lines up with a coarser grid.

If there was an option to maintain the pasted object's position relative to the current grid, then I think that would be a more preferable behaviour.

The idea is a bit like how duplication works when "nudge selected after duplication" is checked - the duplicated object always maintains its position relative to the grid lines.

I hope that made sense :}

[Le another black niger]

Good note; Is funny, that i'v recently repaired that in wip version:
* fix: snap translation amount on paste/move to camera commands instead of stuff's origin (to keep one with size (2*N + 1)*gridSize on grid)
Simple meth fail
