Surface Inspector

[Kyuudo]

Howdy

 

Newbie here; played TDM & loved it, and now here I am learning Dark Radiant and wanting to make FMs - well done devs

 

I'm following the A- Z Beginner's Guide, but unfortunately I've hit a stumbling block early on. The first time it introduces the Surface Inspector, it says "In both Horiz and Vert scale enter 0.3." But in my Surface Inspector, the text fields for those two values (in fact, all the text fields in that column) are blank and greyed out as shown in the screenshot:

 

 

 

I can't enter any values, or see what the current values are when I use the step buttons.

I'm confused

Hope you can help.

btw I'm piln on the TTLG forums.

The entry boxes are only "active" when a single surface is selected, i.e. you need to highlight one single brush face (deselect everything and select one using Ctrl-Shift-LMB) or a single patch.

Ah, OK. To this point, the guide has only mentioned Alt+Shift+LMB.

 

Thanks, I'm making progress again

Didn't an earlier Dark Radiant show the values so long as all the surfaces were the same (values that is.)

Only the shader name is shown if shared across selections. For the actual texture projection it's too unlikely that the float numbers match up.
