DarkRadiant Features List

[SneaksieDave]

With the release of TDM 1.0, we have many newcomers arriving and wondering what DarkRadiant can do. Additionally, even everyday users might not be aware of some features. Let's get a running list of features going, growing as new functionality is added, and as new tricks are discovered. We could use this thread as a starter for a wiki article, which could then have individual links to pages describing features in detail. Feel free to ask about/discuss these features here as well, but if extended discussion is needed, please start a separate thread (and desired features belong in a wishlist thread).

 

So, contribute whatever DarkRadiant features you'd like to mention! Below is a start to the list, updated and modified (items expanded?) as we go.

 

[A nice companion article to this thread is Fidcal's A-Z Beginner's Guide.]

good list,

 

particle editor(or is that in-game?) guess its in game, but you can see changes realtime, in dromed guess, go ingame to check.

[SneaksieDave]

No particle editor yet, but I believe there's a request for it, so maybe it'll be a module some day.

 

Edit: Yep, one of the earliest requests: http://bugs.angua.at/view.php?id=6
