Thanks Greebo!

 

[grayman]

Got it!

 

Thanks!

Thanks, greebo. From my experience I would say the grouping feature alone is enough to upgrade to this version. During the course of beta testing it has sped up my workflow significantly to the point where I can't see myself mapping without it. This continued DarkRadiant support is really appreciated!

Thanks, everyone.

That's really nice to hear!

I'm really loving some of these new features included but I found a problem in the skin picker:

 

A few of the textures just show up as purely white in the editor (fine in game)

door_01_1 works fine for me. Does the problem persist if you do File -> Reload Skins or File -> Reload Materials, or restart DR entirely? Sometimes DR just fails to load resources for some reason; I never got around to reporting the bug because I don't have a more helpful description than that.

Restarting has fixed the problem, thank you!

 

I can just use that as a temporary fix until the next DR update

Thanks Greebo! Lots of really great updates and improvements here. I've already found a lot of these features useful while working.
