Some questions about curves in DarkRadiant

Recommended Posts

I've seen how patches can be used to create some basic curves, and how things like cones and cylinders can be created with brushes. I am curious about how I can create some other curves - say I want a 90 degree curve, ie, and end-cap cut in half. How can I create this? I see that I cannot cut patches. I'd also like to figure out how to create a cylinder with a hollow interior, and also a hollow half sphere (dome) or quarter sphere (half-dome). I've seen most of these in various FMs so it is almost certainly doable in DR, but I'm at a bit of a loss. Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can use the Scripts -> Split patch to make half- and quarter-domes.

 

I'm not quite sure what 'a cylinder with a hollow interior' is asking for (anything made with Patch -> Create Cylinder will be hollow, unlike a brush prism), but if you want the cylinder's surfaces to face inwards you can do Patch -> Matrix -> Invert, and if you want both inward- and outward-facing surfaces without a twosided material, you can copy the patch and matrix-invert the copy.

 

The 'end-cap cut in half' sounds like the Bevel option in the cap selector.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
