DarkRadiant 2.14.0 is ready for download. This release focused on DarkRadiant's texturing abilities, the Texture Tool and some of the Surface Inspector algorithms have been completely rewritten. A new model importer UI has been added with the ability to convert FBX models into a format compatible to the game (it can also convert LWO, ASE and OBJ models). The EntityInspector can now deal with more than one selected entities, showing the shared key values in the list. Copy/Paste Textures across angled faces: Texture Tool Rotate Tool (use "R" hotkey to switch) Surface Inspector Harmonise Scale / Linked Scaling Surface Inspector Normalise EntityInspector Multi-Selection Support For more things that have changed or fixed, see the list below.

I'm really digging the cabinet1 extension pack, the new pieces really tie the room together! With one month left in the challenge, I'm not sure I'll get everything the way I want it, but I'm aiming for at least beta quality with the primary objectives.

Added a new wiki page "Video Cutscene Creation", as well as a section "Patches and Terrain" to the end of the "Patches" page. The latter is short, mainly organized pointers to useful content.

Here is the skin wiki https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Creating_Multiple_Skins_For_A_Model Here is the material wiki: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Material_Files That said, the silver platter material has been changed in TDM 2.10. Please test this issue on the latest dev build:

I have implemented different orientation testing code: it computes CCW normal of a windings and checks that it is directed the same way as the input plane it belongs to. Also, I fixed all differences, even checked that R_PolytopeSurfaceFrustumLike and R_PolytopeSurface produce windings of same orientations in all the cases of my test map.

Re: "...by Doom creator John Cormac." Eh, would he be any relation to Doom creator John Carmack? You made me have to dig out my old wiki username and password for that one.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, sounds like you explored every nook and cranny as usual! There's still a couple of things I thought would have garnered a reaction that no one has commented on, probably nobody found them yet hehe. There's always that one weird bug that inconsistently rears its ugly head... without fail every time I release a mission. Sounds like I may have to replace that chest with a boring old footlocker...

Here's another new wiki page: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=A_Full-Screen_Slide_in_Mid-Game As you can see, I'm cleaning out my "attic" of a number of draft wiki articles from the last year or 2. At least the ones that just need to be finalized. This one shows some GUI examples and related scripting. Can just barely write this post... still in a food coma from Thanksgiving dinner.

Yet another wiki page added: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Force_Fields

Updates to the "Doors" wiki entry: Under "Auto-Closing/Opening Doors" : Collapsed long text block of older method no longer recommended. Broke out & expanded: "Allowing the Player to Interrupt Door Motion" Corrected default rotation speed, and revised text, in "Speed of Door Opening and Closing" Added new section near end: "Alternative Method: Door with a Separate Lock Plate" Added new section: "Controlling Door by Scripting"

*****UPDATE***** cabinet1 fans! Version 2 of the cabinet1 extension pack is here with a new desk and bench model as well 5 unique hutch and curio cabinet prefabs! Big thanks to cabinet1 expert @Dragofer who generously polished the models and prefabs and fixed up the naming/pathing/definitions to be core mod compliant. God speed! cabinet1_xtended.zip *****Original Post***** Jumping over from the Discord where you should definitely join us if you aren't there already. No modelling skill here what so ever, but I have long found myself hopelessly addicted to cabinet1. Now it has gotten even worse with desk02 and desk03 being such great new assets. I just wanted/needed a little more matching furniture for my map so I put these together in DR. To be clear these are very basic but along the way I thought they might be of utility to anyone else who just needs more of that cabinet1 magic and can't wait for the pros to deliver the next dose. Of course just like cabinet1, desk02 and 03 they all have the "desk_old" skin variant and there is a prefab for the curio cabinet with working doors. God speed.

Sadly Warhammer out.
