DarkRadiant 2.3.0 pre-release phase


Recommended Posts

 

 

One minor thing that I just noticed: texture scale in surface inspector is limited to 3 digits after the decimal point. With big textures like 2048 you need precise scale values like 0.125 or 0.0625, and the latter gets rounded to 0.063.

 

I can't confirm that it's three digits, but the numbers displayed there are in fact rounded to 1.0e-5. The value of the entry field is also converted by means of a single-precision float.

 

I can change both things (just open a tracker entry), to round to 1.0e-7 and use doubles for emitting the texdef, but beware that the engine might read in something less precise in the end, since idTech4 is entirely based on single-precision floats. The resulting map format is using a texture matrix (not the legacy shift/scale/rotation) so it's possible that these floats used by the engine are sufficient here, but I haven't done any experiments which values are coming through.

I'll set up my tracker account eventually. But I agree that if such change might break something or will be ignored by the engine, it's not really worth implementing. In the meantime, I'm off to check the final release :)

 

Edit: there's a sort of workaround for that as well. You can use a scaled-down _ed texture in DR, so you'll be able to use values with fewer digits. The engine will match the high-res texture in game accordingly.

Works great. Minor annoyance is the grid is harder to see now, with pale blue lines, and dark lines I'd like it to just be black. I've not changed it.

The Entity Inspector (where you change spawnargs). Usually with a panel like this, you can expand or reduce the gaps between the entity list and the Inherited propeties area. Usually you

would get an icon of an arrow pointing up and down telling you, you can move the panel divider up or down. I only get 3 lines of text in the entity inspector and it slows things

down a lot when I have to scroll down each time to see the rest of the panel. Could you add that please?

 

[EDIT] CANCEL THAT - I found it. However it's in an odd place, usually you can use it anywhere on the divider between panels, but this is on the tick bar which is

not the usual convention. I wasted 10 minutes looking for it after I reinstalled Windows and lost all my settings. lol

 

Thanks

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
