Bikerdude 3741 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I have a prefab map I made of Ai in the tavern in Business as usual that should help mappers get thier Ai to sit where the maps want - would you guys like a copy..? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dunedain19 164 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 @Bikerdude, That would be very helpful, please PM it to me. @Moonbo, That's a very good suggestion. I will definitely consider using that process when I get around to AI testing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HMart 334 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) I know you guys already know this but right now that i'm playing with DR after coming from Unity i really miss this two things, I wished DR add a scale option for .lwo and .ase based models and a group function so you could rotate multi func statics (made from .lwo and .ase) as a single object, right now is really time consuming and really wasteful (making a bunch of redundant models) to import the model or models to Modo (in my case) scale or group them then reimport them to DR (as a totally different model), and imo one of the single reasons kitbashing or even Modular building design is really not fun imo on DR.

demagogue 1265 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 After learning that cntl-number makes an n-sided cylinder, I notice 0,1,2 are left out. My idea is to make them make a 10,11,12 sided cylinder respectively. Mappers will figure it out fast enough. Also worth mentioning every once in a while you want a 20 sided cylinder just because. It'd be nice if there were a way to input sides within some reasonable range. But this is less important than my proposal above. Quote What do you see when you turn out the light?

ERH+ 661 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 What is it with vertices editor that circles / cylinders are not round -so you need to move corner vertices for about 1/32 to make i.e. rotating gear not look silly. Couldn't be implemented an option "adjust curves for perfect circle" to automate it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
demagogue 1265 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 When you select an object, is there an option to put a little arrow in the windows pointing the direction to turn/go to put the object into view? Or I suppose it'd be origin and center in the case if multiple objects are selected. Quote What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

ERH+ 661 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Doors (and other movers) could have "trigger_on_close", "trigger_on_open", "trigger_when_opened" AND "trigger_when_closed" - so actions triggered by doors may be symmetrical and repeatable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fieldmedic 153 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Don't know if it's my wobbly fingers or anything but sometimes it's so frustrating to open the popup menu with the right mouse button; the work area just slides around like a scared rat with oily feet... A shortcut for 'Convert to func_static' would be much appreciated. Maybe it already exists?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kingsal 591 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 The ability to save out your hotkeys from the editor and a hotkey to edit your hotkeys would both be nice to haves. As a rather time consuming bonus, it would be awesome to have help buttons on what all of those hotkeys do.

NeonsStyle 586 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) I'd love for snapping to grid to always snap to grid, and never move off it even if the grid size is changed. Oftenwhen working on a brush, I need to change the grid size, and add a new brush, and often the verts doesn'tsnap to the new grid size. Be great if it did. Also, an ability to have some new things added to the pre-built stuff. Like a set of stairs, or curved stairs that could be resized. This would save a lot of time. Same with arches, would be nice to have a prebuiltarch that can be resized. Oh and lastly an option to choose a Dark background to the editor. I get sore eyes easilyand this would be great. Oh and my number 1 peeve in all games, the player is always chest height to the AI. Be great if that could change,but I think that's an engine thing.

It would be faster, if we could also double-click them.You can press enter instead of clicking the button. Regarding links: If you select the entity that you want to link to first and then the entity that should get linked, and than press ctrl+k, a link will be added. That's the way I do it most of the time and it is pretty fast. 2 Quote FM's: Builder Roads, Old Habits, Old Habits Rebuild Mapping and Scripting: Apples and Peaches Sculptris Models and Tutorials: Obsttortes Models My wiki articles: Obstipedia Texture Blending in DR: DR ASE Blend Exporter Link to post Share on other sites

peter_spy 1603 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 You can press enter instead of clicking the button. That never worked in my case. Ctrl+K is very useful though, I remapped this to just K to make it faster. Also, on various lists, you can start typing name of an item (command, property etc.) and use up/down arrows to move between matching items.

NeonsStyle 586 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) I still would like to see the scale system of GTK Radiant implemented. In GTK Radiant, you can rescale anentire map to any fraction in about 15 seconds, and the result is always perfect. The difference is very simple, GTK let's the user enter the X,Y & Z before any scaling is done, in DRwe scale X, then Y then Z so scaling ends up a mess. It's such a small change, but makes scaling in DR perfectlyusable. Especially on complex patches.

teh_saccade 233 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 The ability to see mesh/patches from the "other side" in camera view, perhaps as outline.Doesn't have to be selectable. Just to know they are there still when everything can get cluttered and there's an accidental drag-select which includes it and it is deleted, without knowing until there's a glaring massive hole in the floor, much later.

Destined 619 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) It would be nice, if the "anim" spawnarg had a button that opens the md5viewer and lets you choose the animation you want to use. Something similar already exists for sounds, models, skins and even heads in the AI section of the entity inspector and the md5viewer is also already implemented. Thus, I thought it might not be too much effort and it would make it much easier to choose animations you want to use. Edited May 5, 2017 by Destined Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R Soul 199 Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Two things: 1) When watching video tutorials it's easy to forget which keys/buttons do what, and it's hard for the authors to remember to keep saying what they're pressing. If the viewer is trying to copy the author's steps, progress can come to a juddering halt. I suggest something in the window to display keypresses. 2) Can the slider for camera movement speed (3d view) be placed in the main window, above the 3d view? I can imagine myself wanting to change it a lot. Edited July 12, 2017 by R Soul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
