Is not being able to create new brushes from hiding all layers known?

 

Repeatedly now I've found I've been unable to create new brushes by dragging. Hitting ESC doesn't change the behavior (confirming I don't have something random selected). Quitting DR and rerunning resolved it. But I believe I've found the cause, I was hitting Hide All layers, then turning on the layer I wanted--no new brush. Instead, if I unchecked other layers I was still able to build. Similarly, if you uncheck all layers (it's not just the Hide All button) so no layer is showing, then turn a layer on, no dragging out new brushes. So something about the condition of having no active layers seems to bork the new brush creation process it seems.

That's a little convoluted for me to understand, can you put it in point form? I'm kinda dumb when it comes to complicated things like this.

Make the steps as easy to understand/repeat as possible, to maximize the chances the coders can reproduce it/fix it.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Yes, it's known. I've pointed this out a couple times on DR threads, but no one else experienced it, so I never submitted an issue for it.

 

As a workaround, I no longer hide all layers. If I need to work in one or two visible layers, I hide the rest one by one.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
