TexTool plugin for Q3Radiant

Introduction

TexTool is a set of texture tools for Q3Radiant. It was designed to help fine-tuning texture placement on brushes and patches.

Warning:

The plugin needs brush primitives texture coordinates to operate. If this feature is not enabled in your project settings you'll only be able to edit patches.


Basic use

It's a "drag-n-drop control points" interface. Select a single face on a brush ( with shift+ctrl+left mouse clic), or a patch, and do Plugins > Q3 Texture Tools > Go.... You can select points and move them... if you are editing a brush face, you can rotate the shape by clicking on an anchor point first, then dragging another point.
