DarkRadiant 1.5.0 available

[ungoliant]

my recommendation is to edit DR while sober (and post on forums as well). I have had problems with both, including the shift-select while dragging mouse across the screen. i find the problem fixes itself when i'm not drunk :D

Ummm, lowering your sensitivity and using a dense weave fabric pad helps... I have no idea if any of the logi/razer/other drivers allow you to control dragging more directly, doubt they will as its more or less the apps domain, perhaps we could use a minimum distance drag option? i.e dont count drags if the origin and release differ by less than 3-4 pixels (tho I do use very narrow selections quite often)... seems a bit elaborate tho, if gtk even exposes that kind of stuff.

Well I shift so quickly and my mouse and keyboard are a little worn so its just getting worse over time.

 

@Greebs (or who ever is doing the coding for DR, is it ok to log a bug tracker for a feature? what i suggest that is for activate drag-select the shift key need to be help down for atleast 0.5 second. This I should stop the selecting behind etc.

in all seriousness i think altering the shift+alt+LMB function would be easier than the shift-LMB idea regarding this issue. modifying shift+alt+LMB to be capable of adding selections with each click (unless clicked directly on top of a previous selection, in which case it would cycle that selection without unselecting all other selections) would be a much easier alternative.

 

It would be a sort of 'modified' shift click where only one item can be selected at a time, and if the wrong item is selected, it can be cycled through allowing more flexibility.

Question: version 1.5.0 -

 

Has the bug where you open a map in DR and it puts the number '2' on the end of the name of EVERY entity that dosent already have a number on the end, been logged..?

 

eg: 'lamp_post2' when the original was 'lamp_post'

 

Im working on a map atm which has 4200 entities I have to go through entity list inspector to correct almost each and every one of them....!!!!!!!

 

 

:angry:

Can you give me a testmap? Then there's a chance I will look into that.
