Exactly what I was looking for thanks Well this would only be useful if entities such as models could "detect" another object. Now a bounding box for a table would probably be fine though as you would want to place objects on it's flat surface, which the bounding box would reflect. I was also thinking more like using the origin of the models themselves as the point of reference. Anyways I'll start on that tonight.

So I'm not looking forward to moving 1800 trees by hand, sooooo where can I start in the code? Any pointers? I was thinking of a function that dropped just a single entity that's selected down on the Z plane until it encounters anything. Patches, brushes, other entities. Any help would be appreciated.

How about making anything the player picks up, not block AI vis? Can't we just propagate that state to any object the player currently has attached to him?

Appreciated, my map runs a lot better now too, less memory and half the load time :wub: You are doing AMAZING work on this tool Greebo, ID should hire you to work on their editor after this is all done, their's sucks balls compared to DarkRadiant. Hell even going back to Quake 3 editing with the last release of GTKRadiant is such a huge step back from DR that I end up ripping my hair out.

That's what I get for editing the SVN folder directly when checking out, yes I got the trunk.

I was getting serious errors when trying to compile the latest source so I removed the directory and redownloaded everything for DR. I noticed that now there are two new folders; w32deps and w64dpes. I thought you didn't include these to save space, can I remove them or are they needed now?

Aw sweet! thanks man EDIT: Umm it's not there...And the download section only has 2 things: St Lucia Teaser and Thief's Den Demo

I noticed that the download of DarkRadiant is only at 0.9.7 which is missing a crap load of features and bug fixes in the latest build.

.> Why don't you close DR when you are done with it? Go to File->Save and when it's done click the 'x' and then you won't have to worry about this stuff. So DR is telling you that you have unsaved changes to your map and you don't save, and then wonder why those changes don't show up in your map after you DMap? I don't see a problem here then.

I was secretly asking this for myself the last couple of days and now POOF, you deliver, you rock.

LOL that was awesome

You mean like this:

Weird after doing an SVN update I opened the darkradiant.sln file and VS2008 wanted to convert the project file to the 2008 version. I thought that you had already moved to VS2008?

That sounds like the option to show models not as fully rendered but as bounding boxes, there used to also be an option for wireframe in GTKRadiant, I'm not sure if greebo removed that functionality though or if I'm thinking of another editor.

That makes perfect sense, thanks

Yeah I figured that out, it compiled fine now. Is there a reason for this or will this be changed in the future?

I'm just right clicking on the darkradiant source parent directory and clicking on Tortoise SVN -> Udate, then trying to compile using the darkradiant.sln file in Visual Studio 2008.

Okay I told it to rebuild the solution, it's running right now. EDIT: Nope still getting a bunch of errors with linking

Upgrading programs like Open-Office and such is something most people do in windows at least the ones I speak to at work here. How hard is it to say install updates to the OS itself?

That's one thing I like seeing is the very supportive community, but the Microsoft certified (snicker snicker) guys on various sites are pretty good at helping.

I like linux I really do, but when people start having problems installing programs on their distro, the answers to get them to work are scary complicated and technical. It's the only reason I wouldn't want to use linux, I'm too used to just installing things with installers and not having to worry about anything else.

Ah okay, I must be thinking of something else. So as long as their origin point is not in the void everything is okay?

Just quoting off the main page: I hope nothing has changed in regards to this, I am looking forward to more of the same from this team, they are very talented.

No I was being serious, compared to windows, unix based OSes seem complicated to get things running, when they start talking about compiling packages for different releases etc. And I wasn't trolling, just making a comment
