New Release: Darkradiant 0.5.2

[OrbWeaver]

DarkRadiant 0.5.2 is available from Sourceforge:

 

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...lease_id=440419

 

UI enhancements

 

New light texture selector widget with OpenGL preview and shader info display

light_center property added for lights (doesn't show correctly in 3D views at present)

 

Renderer fixes

 

Ambient lights now work correctly

Textures without normal/specular maps render correctly (previously these would be unshaded)

DDS-only textures supported

Configurable light-scale parameter (all lights are multiplied by this)

Light Z falloff texture sampled at V=0.5 rather than 0.0 (to "support" incorrect use of 2D images for the Z falloff)

 

It should now be possible to view mansion_alpha.map in preview mode without rendering problems (except the obvious lack of shadows and the atrocious performance).

Heya Orb, did you release a new build with the entity creation/ brush fix that unskilled was talking about?

[OrbWeaver]

No I haven't, I guess I should do that since it is quite an important fix.

Cool, thanks Orb, that would be awesome!

So you can't have a camera preview at the moment? It still says "RENDER NOT FOUND" on all textures?

[Crispy]

That's always worked for me, unless I'm misunderstanding you. The only time I've seen a "not found" texture in DarkRadiant is when there is actually no texture on the surface.

[bob_arctor]

Can someone tell me how to get the little preview window working?

 

I just get RENDER NOT FOUND on all my textures.

[OrbWeaver]

I assume you mean "Shader not found", as I have never seen anything say "render not found" before. Where is this displayed, have you loaded a map or is it on a brush you create? Did you set your Doom 3 path in the dialog that displays when you start the program for the first time? You also need to set the mod path in File -> Project Settings (select Custom Doom 3 modification and type "darkmod" in the text box) in order to see any DarkMod assets.
