NetRadiant = Radiant 1.5 with useful q3map2 patches...

[ingar]

Did a system update and it's working again. The culprit was probably
an evil gcc package. I also fixed a warning in the zip library
netradiant-392-pkzip_warning.patch

update:
it seems it was actually gcc 4.4.1 and -O3. It works fine
if I remove -O3 from the CFLAGS. -O2 doesn't work either.

I've been reported the last packaged binaries of q3map2n have troubles (as in crash/exit) when using the -lomem switch. Unfortunately, I can't test it myself right now, so I can't give more information than that.

I did lately compile a map with -lomem, so that seems to work... it probably is one of the many crashes still left in q3map2 that always was there, and has to do with the map's complexity.

I found out it is sufficient to add -fno-strict-aliasing to CFLAGS.
NetRadiant is quite sluggish without -O3, especially on larger maps
(+10K brushes).

Update:
Fixed some more warnings:
netradiant-393-qdata_heretic2-warnings.patch

Hi,

It seems the _patchMeta entity key is not working for func_group entities, but it's reserved only for brushmodel entities. For getting it working I had to use a func_static. It does the job, but it's not as pleasant as func_group because it's one more entity added to the transmission. Would it be possible to get it applied to func_groups?

Thanks in advance.

No, this won't be easily possible to add, but may be a suggestion for VorteX to implement.

Hi again,

I just found out that picomodel is enforcing the bitmap name as shader name on ASE model load. This doesn't make much sense to me, because 3dsmax uses absolute file paths for the bitmap names. The code which puts the bitmap as shader name is a hack and easy to locate and remove, but I'm wondering why did ydnar do this originally. Do you know what could be the reason?

And if you see no reason for it, what would be your opinion about removing the hack?

Is there a possibility to toggle lighting?
I have seen it somewhere but it doesn't work

I made a repository on googlecode for a version which runs on Snow Leopard..
For me the advantage is I can easily provide the code and changes.. and maybe get some feedback how dumb my changes are.. hehe. Which they are probably - yet I can finally start it, open and save maps.

I have first committed revision 402 from NetRadiant, and started to modify on that - so all changes are easily visible.
I hope this ain't a to bad Idea, but I somehow wanted to share my changes.
And last radiant for OSX is at rev. 295.. or something.

Actually I started mapping on Linux, and it was very easy to compile NetRadiant, but under OSX its a pita.

I still have to test stability and all.. but its great to be able to use my favorite editor again..

I had various problems using the existing versions, either they did not start. Or they did, but then crashed on open/saving. Some fixes I found helped to make it start.. but not more. I suppose I have there some serious error with the libraries.. But I have honestly no experience at all with OSX.

I figured out that there is already a newer download for osx, even though it does not work either at first.. it did after removing the dynamic library for xml. (r402 for intel osx)

At first I thought it works perfect.. yet there is still the Problem with Invalid Chars on Save/load files..
If the line which triggers the error msg is commented out, it works fine - I suppose it crashes on some of these invalid chars.

Spliting Patches did often crash or only partially work, I thought first its a library problem.. but yahey I fixed.. and add split only cols or rows in menu.

(There is also a change for Macports, and filechooser .. please ignore, but the changes to BobToolz is really usefull I believe.)
