Some dumb questions

Postby airscout » Mon Sep 14, 2009 8:01 am

I'm a little vexed by three things I've come across the old Radiant documentation and some older online tutorials.

1) There is a section in the Q3Radiant Editor Manual from 2000 about something called the Patch Toolbar. Darned if I've ever seen it. Does this still exist?

2) Again in the manual, there's a method for rotating a brush around an arbitrary axis. It reads, "... The purple square at the center is the center of the selection and the axis around which it will rotate... If the user does a SHIFT + middle mouse button click on the 2D map window, the axis square will relocate to the coordinates of the click." I've tried every modifier/mouse-button combination to no avail and I haven't seen any purple squares since I last dropped acid. Is this functionality still in there?

3) Both Sock's and the Map-Craft tutorials on creating terrain refer to distorting brushes using ctrl-LMB-drag. Nothing doing. I feel like I'm totally missing something on this one. :oops:

Of course I understand many things may have changed or fallen by the wayside as the Radiant versions have progressed over the past 10 years. But I could use some reassurance that I'm not missing some blatantly obvious things or chasing ghosts.

I'm not 100% sure but isn't it that when you press shift+s and you can align textures on patches?

No, that indispensable panel I did locate by mistake :D .

This thing supposedly looks/looked like so ...

... and the Manual lists these functions:

    Don’t Select Curved Brushes
    Show Patch Bounding Box
    Show Patches as Wireframe
    Patch Bend Mode
    Redisperse Patch Points
    Cap
    Weld Equal Patch Points
    Drill Down

AFAIK this never worked (or rather it was never implemented at all) with any 1.5 brash radiant. Same thing with paintselecting, that patch toolbar and a few other really useful things. a shame really, and proly why some (like me) still prefer radiant 1.4.
HOF:
<Diablo> the nex is a "game modification"
<Diablo> quake1 never had a weapon like that.
<Vordreller> there was no need for anything over 4GB untill Vista came along
<Samua>]Idea: Fix it? :D
<Samua>Lies, that only applies to other people.
