Texturing shortcuts discussion (re: #3676)


Recommended Posts

There is an error in the tracker entry. Shift+mouse3 is not a copy of ctrl+mouse3. The first one pastes the texture from the clipboard naturally, the second one projects it, which is not the same.

 

The behaviour desired there is already pretty simple to achieve. If you copy a shader to clipboard by pressing mouse3 on a surface, the shader gets selected in the texture browser. You than just have to select the surfaces and click on the selected shader.

 

However, a possible shortcut may be alt+mouse3, as I think this is not used yet.

I'm also not clear on what the tracker entry is requesting.

 

What does "hovering over a brush" mean?

 

When I press Mouse3 in the camera view, I can move the camera using the mouse.

 

When I press Mouse3 in an ortho view, I get a menu of actions.

Confusing terminology. Mouse3 means mouse wheel / middle mouse button. The third to be added to mouse designs rather than the third reading from left to right :)

 

I misread the tracker request as asking for a paste natural function, which is already on shift+mmb of course. But I agree with Obs and Airship, having a quick way to change the shader name without changing scale and rotate would be nice.

      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!
