I am wondering if it's possible to make a plugin using Python for DarkRadiant, that will load prefabs based on a set of rules and align them accordingly ? Thanks.

I think that DR's python interface would need extending a bit. It doesn't provide a way to manipulate brushes as far as I can see.

 

So there is no way to load prefabs, select stuff per layer and move selection around via Python in DR? :(

Erm.. yes now you come to mention it, I think that that can be done. What I think you can't do is create, resize or cut brushes using the python api. But you *can* move selections, which is probably enough. I'm not sure about loading the prefabs though.

Yeah, I wouldn't need to do anything with brushes, except moving them. Who would be able to know more about Python API in DR to tell if prefabs can or can not be loaded (or .map files imported). The idea is to have modules saves as either prefabs or .map files, and then Python scrip would load each into each layer, properly name layer, use sorting by name to select certain pieces and then duplicate one of the modular pieces, move them to a "construction" layer, move them on the grid to match other pieces, etc.

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
