afaik, the TAB-key isn't taken yet. can you make it switch between vertex mode and face mode? thanks

[DwnUndr]

Great work Atan!

[Atan]

@Floyd
I will take a look, in the meantime you can quickly switch this using the toolbarbuttons.

@Dwnundr
Thx, I hope D3Edit is working better with W2k now?

[pipsqueak]

As usual, excellent work Atan!

[NightmareUSA]

can't you still use "ctrl" 'R' and "ctrl" 'f' to do that. Oh and thanks for the updates Atan! I have posted this on Game Edit.Net as well.

[Floyd]

my ctrl-key is already worn out from this (it was about 8 months old when i finished my first level. logitech promised that it would last 10M hits, though)
plus, tab is faster than ctrl+f and ctrl+r. (and more comfortable, i assume)

give me the name of the function that switches modes, and i'll write that little tab-function

edit: found the variable for the mode. now i just need to find the switch statement for the keys. (this is a pretty old version of the d3edit source, but this should work as well with atans version)

[Atan]

@Floyd
implementing it is an easy task, no need searching around.
What I mean is, that I have to think about
if this feature will be useful for all
and if, if it should toggle through ALL modes then.

[Floyd]

ok. my experience was that faces and verts are used most of the time, and alternating between these two was constantly necessary, whereas object mode was very rarely used. i haven't made anything for single player yet, so i don't know about the paths and nodes.
i am shocked that i didn't think of that tab-feature earlier

[Atan]

@Floyd,
I uploaded a 'TAB' testversion and pm you a dl-link.
TAB toggles between Vertex and Face, it overrides any other mode ( if selected ) to vertex first.
Please test this feature if it works like you requested.

[Floyd]

works like a charm, thank you very much.

[pipsqueak]

Woa, Just noticed that extrude x steps feature. That is incredibly helpful.

[pipsqueak]

Oops, starting to have some problems. Dont know if its my machine but the program seems to crash a little easier than the previous version. When clicking the box to check out a different view it has crashed several times. Also this version seems to be a little sluggish. When trying to rotate a room or level there seems to be some hesitation before the room actually moves.

[Atan]

Yes, true.
I made several bugfixes last days, but it's not good enough up to now.
I thought latest version (D3Edit_V_P_0_1_12_p) would be fine,
but a new error was stated today.
I'll try to find and fix that soon and place next version for a test then.

Thx for the feedback.

[Atan]

@pipsqueak
please test version D3Edit_V_P_0_1_14_p if it works for you
and which new problems poss. come up now.
BTW, a good idea would be to deaktivate 'Show Animated textures', this will save cpu time.

[pipsqueak]

Not much better luck with p o 1 14. The program crashes constantly when trying to mark a room so I can paste it to another room. I think I might go back to one of your older version Atan. BTW just had one of those room center not in center error messages. Quite an amazing discovering regarding homing missiles not being able to home in certain rooms.

[Atan]

ok, it's inside ToDo list, may take some time...

[Atan]

uhm, I'm not sure what you excatly doing
Are you working in Worldview and try to add a loaded room?
Or do you try to create 'Room in Room' ?

Nevertheless, I found a bug and deleted this one, but I'm not sure if I hit the one you are talking about.
I added some more 'fuses' and delete an other minor issue too
but as I said I'm not sure if this all will fix your problem now.
Please help out and try the newest version.
If you crash is gone now, ok, if not please email me a step by step discription please how to generate your bug. TIA
