GtkRadiant-1.5.0 Changes
------------------------
- Games:
Doom3 and Quake4 support with realtime lighting preview.
Added support for the original Quake.
- File formats:
q1/q2 .pak
q1/hl .wad
doom3/quake4/hl .map
doom3 .md5/.def/.mtr
quake4 .guide
- Undo:
Very fast, even with large changes.
Uses minimum memory, allowing very long undo queues.
All scene modifications now undoable, including:
Texture name/shift/scale/rotate on brushes and patches.
Vertex/edge/face manipulation.
Cloning, deleting, pasting, importing.
Entity key/value setting.
- Selection:
Per-polygon selection for all selectables, including:
Vertices, edges, faces, brushes, patches, models, entities.
Per-polygon area-selection for all selectables.
Edge/Vertex/Face mode automatically resets to Object mode when selection is cleared.
- Editing:
Maya-style tools for translate (w) and rotate (r):
Axis-constrained translate/rotate in 2d and 3d views.
Editing uses lazy evaluation to make movements smoother in complex scenes.
QE-style editing tool (q) provides old style editing.
- Renderer:
Fast view-frustum culling, replacing cubic-clipping.
Batched state-sorted rendering:
Fast rendering of large scenes with many textures
Fast rendering of detailed mesh models.
Realtime lighting preview.
- Scene Graph:
Directed Acyclic Graph backend:
Allows Maya-style "instancing" of sub-scenes (aka prefabs).
Edit one instance, other instances show updates in real time.
Maps can be loaded as misc_model.
- Outliner (aka entity lister):
Shows a tree-view of the current scene:
Non-modal window, updates automatically when scene graph changes.
Allows inspection/manipulation of scene graph.
Brushes can be moved between entities, and entities moved between maps.
Sorted by name.
- Entity Inspector:
Non-modal window, updates automatically when selection changes.
Displays GUI to edit certain keys, based on entity-definition.
Light texture key-entry GUI is auto-completed.
- Surface Inspector:
Non-modal window, updates automatically when selection changes.
Editing shortcuts: escape reverts current values to previous state, enter commits current values immediatly.
Applies shader seperately from shift/scale/rotate.
Shortcuts are active when surface inspector is visible/focussed.
Material name-entry is auto-completed based on currently-in-use materials.
- Brush:
Supports selecting and editing multiple vertices per brush.
CSG subtract algorithm does not suffer from false-positive intersection bug.
Face mode:
Selection/manipulation of multiple faces in 2d and 3d views.
Robust and fast B-Rep generation:
Safe manipulation of large brush selections.
Fast updates for brush operations on large maps.
- Patch:
Fast rendering.
- Filters:
Objects are filtered when their filterable attributes change.
- Map Load/Save:
Fast loading of large maps.
Loading of maps without worldspawns.
Quantised plane coordinates.
- Preferences:
Preferences saving is atomic so that it cannot be corrupted by a crash during save.
All user-editable config files and per-user preferences are created in %appdata%/RadiantSettings/
Engine path stored in per-game preferences file and editable in preferences dialog.
Changing mod-name and engine path does not require a restart.
- GUI:
Instant window updates (used to be 40fps limited).
Fast startup/shutdown.
Automatic repositioning of separators in 4-way-split mode.
Console prints all undoable commands (and parameters) when executed and undone.
Status bar shows mode information.
New preferences layout, unused settings removed.
Rearranged menus:
File = new/open/import/export
Edit = manipulate scene hierarchy and selection
View = toggle entityinspector/entitylist/surfaceinspector/camera/xy
edit camera/xy parameters
filters/hideshow/region
Modify = transform scene elements
Build = bsp menu
Upgraded win32 gtk2 version from 1.3 to 2.4, providing stability/cosmetic improvements.
- 2d view:
Limited scroll speed when mouse moves outside window.
- Textures module:
Fast texture cache lookups.
Gamma change without restarting.
- Installer:
New xml-scripted windows installer using Windows-Installer tech (.msi).
Linux version released as RPM package.
To avoid deletion on uninstall, shaderlist.txt is generated from default data in the application directory and copied to the game directory.
- Saving
The map is only saved if the scene has been modified since the last full save.
Autosave/Snapshots are only saved if map has been modified since last full save.
Autosave saves as <mapname>.autosave.map.
- Debug
New assert/error messages as popup windows.
Full stack-trace for assert/error on win32.
GtkRadiant-1.3.14 Changes
-------------------------
ydnar:
- clipper tool: select a patch mesh, and the clipper tool plane will be set to the patch's mesh (default shortcut X)
EvilTypeGuy:
- texture find and replace menu can be used to select faces by matching texture (not only replacing textures anymore)
so you can apply fit and translate commands to the whole set
if you have brushes selected, it will select only within the selected brushes set
SCDS_ReyalP:
- new plugin: background image in the 2D view. scan your layout, use it as a background to build the structure..
- some fixes to the Z floating window
- added to ET and RTCW: hullcaulk, hintskip, and subtlehint (see below)
- fixed to CenterXYView shortcut, correctly bound to Shift+Control+Tab now
- added shortcuts to change the texture window scale
TextureWindowScaleup (Alt + Delete)
TextureWindowScaledown (Alt + Insert)
also fixed various oddities with the texture window behaviour
Nurail:
- more updates to quake2 and heretic2 support. BSP monitoring supported now.
ydnar:
- q3map2 2.5.11
- New: added support for _skybox entities to generate "portal sky"
surfaces in games w/o native support (Quake 3). _skybox entities have
3 keys: _scale (default 64), and angle/angles (for rotation of the
skybox relative to the map)
- New: added -skyfix switch to BSP phase as a workaround hack for
the black GL_CLAMP border on skybox edges on ATI (and newer nvidia)
video cards. Note: unnecessary in ET or JA
- New: Added _anglescale to light entities for scaling angle attenuation.
Use a small value (< 1.0) to lessen the angle attenuation, and a high
value (> 1.0) for sharper, more faceted lighting
- New: Added _lightmapscale support to misc_model entities
- Custom shaders (external lightmaps, styles) will not be generated
if the find/replace text cannot be found
- Tightened up light culling epsilon from 1.0 to 0.125 to stop certain
surface lights from being incorrectly culled (thanks RasputiN!)
- Fixed bug where small 3 and 4 sided brush faces were getting fanned,
adding triangle/vertex counts
- Moved to Visual Studio .NET, with aggressive optimizations enabled
- Cleaned up missing image warnings
- Parsing images out of shader stages if not found explicit/implicitly
- Loads Enemy Territory implicitMap images if editor/light image not found
Raven:
- new sample maps for JA media
- MP SDK had a bunch of editing tools. Packaged those up with our JA media as well
look under Tools/ in the GtkRadiant game pack install
(default location C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\Radiant-1.3)
common/hullcaulk
This is exactly the same as caulk, just has a different editor image so people
using the 'caulk hull' method of mapping can see at a glance what is part of the
hull and what is part of the detail brushes. It is up to the mapper follow the
convention.
common/hintskip
This is exactly the same as skip, with 'hint' in the name so brushes with mixed
hint and skiphint faces will filter with the 'hints' filter. I didn't add a new
image for this, since it is functionally identical to skip.
common/subtlehint
hint without the surfaceparam hint. A lower priority hint which is sometimes
useful if you don't want the splits from your hint spreading out all the way to
block bounderies. You can mix it freely on a brush with normal hint and skip.

all current games are supported by q3map2: Q3 RTCW JKII SoF2 STV:EF
BSP monitoring is supported
- fixed rare texturing bug, texture showing fine in editor and broken after compile on angled faces
fix is in q3map2, needs matching code in GtkRadiant - this is toggled by a preference item in BSP Monitoring menu:
http://www.qeradiant.com/wikifaq/index.php?Texturing%20Compatible%20with%20q3map2
seaw0lf & ydnar & Arnout
- new picomodel library - used in q3map2 and GtkR, provide load and rendering functionality for model formats
EvilTypeGuy & TTimo
- many changes to the Linux build binaries. ABI is different, stdc++ statically linked
we expect the new Linux binaries to be much more compatible on different platforms
- linux build loads libGL.so.1 by default
James Monroe & RR2DO2 & TTimo
- added in-editor light envelope drawing.
Outer circle is max envelope, inner fullbright radius, center is effective light radius
Optional classic mode (see prefs dialog) emulates the similar drawing from Rituals and Ravens tools
(not q3map correct, easier for the level designer to understand/legacy)
Arnout
- area selection in 2d view:
Alt+LMB (LMB=left mouse button): area select
Alt+Ctrl+Shift+LMB : additive area select
NOTE: with Alt+multidrag enabled in preferences, you only have additive
- vertex mode edit, vertex select (reminder: use V for vertex edit):
regular drag for select, Ctrl+drag for additive select. Works both in 2d view and 3d
- added 'angles' support for models misc_model/misc_gamemodel. (yaw-pitch-roll vector angle rotation)
note: this is supported in q3map2 only
- upped MAX_TEXTUREDIRS to 256 (from 128)
- added 'Paste to Camera' which pastes the contents of the clipboard to the current camera origin (shortcut: Alt+V)
- added centerview functionality to 4 window mode. Ctrl+tab will focus on the selection, or if non existant, on the camera.
- added botclip filter (filters *botclip* and *monsterclip*)
- added outline style cycling, cycle between z buffered outlines and selected colour rendering (shortcut: j)
- added menu Misc > Colors > Selected Brush (camera) - configure the color
of selected surfaces in the camera view
- third coordinate for clip points now gets set to the center of the selection
- changed arbitrary rotation dialog to accept negative angles as well
- changed texture alignment dialog to accept values up to 2 decimal points
- changed entity inspector so that tab doesn't clear the epair value field anymore,
so it retains the value while jumping to it.
- paint select in camera view:
press shift and move the mouse over the camera view to paint over brushes you want to select
use the preferences menu to configure: shift key is default, 'classic mode' is Ctrl+Alt
- misc_gamemodel drawing
- new plugin toolbar
TTimo & Arnout
- with clip or caulk filtered out, you could select invisible faces on partly drawn brushes
this is bug #556, there are still some issues with it
TTimo
- added cascading to the entity menus. JKII NPC_* are all showing
- mark map modified on editing entity keys
- guard junk.txt path between " " (non monitored BSP)
- preferences: mouse AngleSpeed setting was getting clobbered. fixed and upped the max values
- RTCW setup: detect GOTY install from registry and use it as default path
Riant
- more work on texture compression, more compression options (S3TC support)
- IS scripts maintenance, media updates for JKII/SoF2/STVEF
Michael Schlueter
- fixes to Linux setup scripts
SCDS_reyalP
- RTCW town_*.shader
EvilTypeGuy
- fixed his very own memory leak in the texture code, great improvement to the memory usage
GtkRadiant 1.2.10 Changes
-------------------------
SCDS_reyalP
- misc RTCW .def updates
see http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=526 for details
Michael Schlueter
- misc GL code warnings fixes, improvements to the GL font code
TTimo
- removed the "light 1" parameter from the shader files (RTCW & Q3)
this is an old/unsupported map compiler flag that was meant for shader flares
recent q3map versions produce .bsp that will crash RTCW/Q3 when used
- pk3 loading is case insensitive (loads .pk3 and .PK3)
- fixed a MAX_POINTS_ON_WINDING overflow situation in q3map (when reporting the error through debug stream)
- don't straffe when using Ctrl+Shift(+Alt)
Riant && TTimo
- Soldier Of Fortune II support:
- complete game pack for Sof2 editing, latest tools, sample maps from Raven
- png support in GtkRadiant
- texture compression support. This requires OpenGL 1.3 drivers. Can be disabled with a preferences setting
the textures are manipulated in a compressed format on the card, memory bonus is about 1/3 improvement
Sof2 textures are eating up a LOT of memory, texture compression brings an improvement, but it's still very heavy on mem
there are still some potential improvements regarding memory footprint, this will be for later versions
Riant
- Star Trek Voyager: Elite Forces media/scripts updates
- Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast media/scripts updates, contains the new elements from the second official SDK
RR2DO2
- camera plugin for RTCW, support for .camera files editing

- Star Trek Voyager : Elite Forces game pack, STVEF-specific code tweaks
SCDS_reyalP
- fixed bobtoolz vis viewer to work with RTCW
- RTCW entities update (various fixes, some ents colors, sizes and documentation)
TTimo
- several fixes to region compiling, should be fully working again
- if a model load fails, the default box is bigger and easier to select
- JKII update: the default texture scale is configured per-game, JKII has correct default now
- Q3 entities update: correct trigger_hurt spawnflags
- RTCW media update: misc .shader updates, and updated some .md3
there are still things to be looked at, cf. http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=539
- removed broken print XY view menu item. Use a screen capture tool for now
- fixed broken game spawning after compilation in RTCW mode
- changing texture window scale no longer changes selected brushes texture
- workaround for empty gtk error box on non-english Windows installs (was i18n problem)

- added a call to Select_Reselect() in XYWnd->OnViewEntity() to make sure its modifying the
current selection (bugzilla: #436)
- fixed entity dialog passing events through to main window (bugzilla: #454) return values
were backwards
- patching in the .pfb extension adding stuff (bugzilla: #259)
- fixed thickened patches not being grouped (bugzilla: #226). this was supposed to be happening
anyway, the entity create code was called before the patches were selected
- setting the sel_mode accordingly when (i)nverting selection, verts were being drawn when
they shouldn't have been
- fixes to Curry and PrtView (proper prefs load/save, curry logo on Linux)
- fixed patches losing their shader if outside region when calling flush/reload
- added filtering on unselect for newly created brushes/entities
Gef & TTimo
- made sure textures with spaces in name are never loaded from tex dirs (warning if bad textures detected),
never save them to .map, avoid map corruption situations.
EvilTypeGuy
- added back brush numbers and entity numbers in the .map (#457)
- RTCW skies.shader update
TTimo
- correct default prompt location for file operations (map load/save, etc.) .. works for mods again

- cleanup of the project settings dialog. Removed a lot of unused / outdated / confusing settings we had
there
- fixed the Shift+Click shortcut to edit shaders. Fixed crashes and behaviour in the internal shader editor.
on Win32, either use internal editor, or use win32 .shader association to open
on Linux, Gef added prefs to select custom shader command
NOTE: we don't have a free text editor for win32 that allows to jump to a given line after you open
the file. If anyone has this around, please send the info along.
GtkRadiant 1.2.6 Changes

see http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=417 for details
Hydra
- improved snap to grid in gensurf plugin
GtkRadiant 1.2.5 Changes
------------------------
TTimo
- drawing dlight and lightjuniors like regular lights with a small shape change
- from RR2DO2 and ydnar:
fixing a q3map vis bug

see http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=417
EvilTypeGuy & RR2DO2
- added the ability to strafe up/down/left/right while freelook is active
Gef
- fixed target/targetnames collisions

updated to maintain the links
- find brush dialog window has correct title
- linux setup tweaking
GtkRadiant 1.2.4 Changes
------------------------
ydnar
q3map 1.2.4-y2
New features:
- -nopatchfix argument. This disables lightmap patch fixes and makes a map suitable for lighting with -vlight.
- Degenerate patches are treated like broken brushes. They are ignored, warned about, and selected in Radiant if you ran with the -connect option (or from the BSP menu). This was what was causing the "0 valued axis" error some people were experiencing.
New entity keys:
- "_lightmapscale" key for brush entities (worldspawn, func_*). This lets a mapper scale the lightmap samplesize per-entity. For large constructions, 2.0 or 3.0 is a fine value, and keeps BSP size down and compile times low. For those areas you want to have high-detail shadows, make a func_group and use a value of 0.25 or so. It will scale the samplesize value for the surface's shader (default 16) or the -samplesize argument.
- "modelscale" and "modelscale_vec" keys for misc_models (1.0 = default). This was for proper RTCW support and is available for Quake 3 maps as well. Lets you scale up map models in the world, getting around the MD3 size limitation. The next build of GtkRadiant has SPoG's code to support this in-editor so you can see what effect a scale has.
- Flare surfaces are now supressed from the BSP. They serve no purpose other than add to the vert & surfacecount in a BSP. These surfaces were created silently when a shader has "light 1" or "q3map_flareshader X." Use the new -flares switch when BSPing your map to have them emitted.
Changes:
- GtkRadiant 1.2.4-nightly version increment.
- Full WolfSDK style lighting enabled with -game wolf, including lightJuniors. This includes linear lights by default (no angle attenuation) and support for the additional RTCW "fade" and "angle" keys, and spawnflag changes, including q3map_nondynamic on light entities. This may require maps being constructed for RTCW with the current toolset to change their light entities. Sorry. :) Note, Wolf-style lighting only works with -light, and not -vlight.
- Vertex light stitching now uses a near-ambient light check for dark vertexes as opposed to lower-than-average fixups. This preserves some shadow detail better while getting the buried verts lit properly. Comments encouraged.
- Surfaces' samplesize are now stored in the BSP. This change makes BSPs generated from this version incompatible with all other q3maps. The upside is that -samplesize N is no longer necessary on the -light or -vlight stage. This feature is necessary to support the "_lightmapscale" key.
- Additional PVS optimizations in lighting.
Fixes:
- Will compile for RTCW properly (1.2.1-y12 didn't).
- No more sparklies where fog meets brush faces. They're split properly now.
- Crash bug in vlight fixed.
- Vertex light fixups/stitching is considerably faster.
- Vertex light fixups ONLY stitch faces with lightmaps. For pointlight surfaces you're on your own.
- Better snapping logic when merging nearly-coincident vertexes on complex brush windings.
- Bug where the .prt file had some bogus or nearly-borked portals. They're cleaned up like everything else now.
- A few stupid bugs in path initialization. Should work better. Also includes TTimo's fixes to my code so it would work properly on Linux.
- RR2DO2's PCX loading patch for alphamaps. This bug was manifesting itself in the form of offset or incorrect samples being used on terrain entities.
- A ton of other minor little fixes here and there.

GtkRadiant 1.2.2 Changes
---------------------------
1.2.2 was born dead
GtkRadiant 1.2.1 Changes
---------------------------
General changes:
Modular architecture. During startup the editor gets configured to load specific modules,
which direct it's functionalities. The immediate consequence is the ability to support
several games in a more easy and clean way. The editor core installs in a central location
(on win32, C:\Program Files\GtkRadiant), and installs it's game specific modules and
programs in 'game packs' folders (C:\Program Files\Return To Castle Wolfenstein\Radiant
and C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\Radiant typically).
List of the main modules and their functionalities:
- map module, read/write from/to file and memory
- shaders management module
- filesystem module
- models loading, editing and display (.md3 currently)
- image formats loader
Return To Castle Wolfenstein is the first additional game supported by the 1.2 architecture,
along with Quake III Arena / Quake III: Team Arena
Specific changes and fixes:
AstroCreep
- common shaders, cleaned up wolf shader scripts, and general Wolf pack testing
djbob
- updated 1.2 plugin API, making bobtoolz compatible with 1.2
- View > Filter > Structural (hide all except detail brushes)
Wolfen
- updates to the Q3Radiant manual, links page and setup instructions
EvilTypeGuy
- general Wolf support (.qe4 template) and bug fixes (on linux also)
- fixed patch toolbar prefs settings
- menus can be configured detachable or not from prefs

Region uses the camera as spawn point.
- updated quakev2.qe4 with -vlight options
- added checks in q3map to prevent crashing on allocating a winding too big.
- improved snapshots behaviour, doesn't snapshot non-modified maps
- improved the CycleCapTexturePatch command, now cycle across the 3 planes only
and works on multiple patches in one shot
- fixed the help menu, Help > Help or F1 will try to open the Q3Radiant manual
(if you have office installed) (Help > Links also fixed)

registry. General behaviour of the surface inspector has been reworked. Undo
works better on the surface inspector.
- shift+arrows shortcuts now match the increments from the surface inspector
- button 'Match Grid' in the SI to set the increment to current grid
- debug stream between GtkRadiant 1.1 and q3map:
As with the Alpha version, q3map connects to Q3Radiant to report on it's
progress. The progress reporting code has been enhanced with an XML stream. If
your map has errors that need geometry information to be fixed, Radiant can help
you out. To get a grip on this feature, load baseq3/maps/museum.map and compile
it (with BSP monitoring turned on of course).
- cleaned the entity inspector window, better layout management
- two new items in the View > Show menu:
the X, Y and Z axis have been assigned colors (Z: Red, X: Green, Y: Blue)
Show outline draws a colored outline around your view, helping you know what
view is currently active.

GtkRadiant alpha version Changes
--------------------------------
MrElusive:
-q3map 1.0q: fixed a bug in q3map that sometimes cause mapobjects not to be lit
G_Dewan:
-more arrows drawn on entities with relevant angle information
Fishman:
-antialiased lines
leo & TTimo:
- based on Q3Radiant 202
- patched q3map with network code
- shortcut keys are now in shortcuts.ini
the syntax has changed a bit, no spaces between the '='
see shortcuts.sample
- no longer using the registry, settings are stored in radiant.ini and savedinfo.bin
in Radiant directory
- project settings templates:
the project settings file format has changed a bit.
it has version information now, and the setups come with a new quakev2.qe4 file
the project files are true templates, Radiant will read them and then store actual
project settings it uses in baseq3/scripts/user0.qe4 user1.qe4 etc.
- new compilation monitoring
GtkRadiant comes with a modified version of q3map that reports to GtkRadiant through
the network. You get the output of q3map in the console window. And the compiling
errors can be processed (currently it detects leaks)
- sleep mode:
before running Quake 3 Arena to playtest your maps, you can put Radiant to sleep:
manually with File > Sleep command
automatic if you compile and set "Activate sleep mode when running the engine"
Q3Radiant 202 Changes
---------------------
MrElusive:
-q3map 1.0p
-Tool options.txt (q3map command-line doc)
G_Dewan:
-added functions to the GL interface for PrtView
GL plugins now get the camera position information
TTimo:
-fixed sound and model assignment. project files are supposed to be written with
short path names. If it's not it might break. Added fixes in sound and model
assignement to go around the problem. Too late before next release to try
adding automatic clamping to short path name of the project file.
-high color is always on, it's a remnant from Q2
-some fixes to find the default project file and interpret it when it's a template
-proper error handling in the JPEG library, no longer crashes on progressive jpegs
-added a "shaderlist.txt only" option to the texture menu, will display only the
.shader files listed in shaderlist. Workaround for the 127 texture count limit.
(saved with prefs)
-when building texture menu, Radiant will dump in the console the list of .shader files
that are not referenced in shaderlist.txt
-texture menu shows .shader files that don't have an associated texture directory
-storing "don't select curves" and "don't select models" from the toolbar in the registry
-alpha channel: some buggy textures have a nearly empty alpha channel and they might be
invisible if used in a shader script with qer_trans. Will now show up blank-transparent.
Best is to fix the alpha channel of the texture by saving it as 24bits instead.
Or disable alpha channel support in the prefs (added a new checkbox)
WARNING: disabling alpha channel might break curry on some shaders
about the WARNING: .. has empty alpha message:
this means Radiant detected on these buggy textures, alpha channel will be completely ignored
-speed improvements: added hash tables, improves map load (Map_BuildBrushData) and
texture find/replace. More or less evolves in log n with size of the map instead of previous n^2
-fixed some notepad spawning crashes + will be better at finding shader definitions
-added "HOME" keyword when parsing user prefs keyboard shortcuts for HOME key (heh)
-fixed duplicate HideSelected command in the Help > Command list, added proper ShowHidden to the command list
-fixed a crash when max texture directories reached (currently 127)
-added a log file, turned on/off from prefs (default is off)
automatically turned on after a startup crash (Radiant.pid)
Q3Radiant 201 Changes

-added Select / Don't select models toggle in the toolbar
-FIT command for BP mode
-Region > SetSelectedBrushes to shift+ctrl+R
NOTE: ICQ will intercept the shortcut key .. if someone has a solution for this let me know
-disabled the qer_nocarve check for CSG-MERGE operations, you can merge hint brushes now
-added a temporary Radiant.pid file to intercept crashes during the startup sequence and prompt for a registry cleanup
(some bogus registry settings might cause a crash before entering the interactive mode)
-clip filtering works same way as caulk, if hide clip will still display non-clip faces on clip brushes
-console keeps scrolling
-Ctrl+H shortcut toggles show/hide Hint brushes
-199->200 stability fixes:
fixed Shift+A SelectAllOfType on patches
fixed a crash in Flush & Reload shaders
fixed a crash File > New Map with selected faces
fixed Vertex manipulation crash
sanity checks: don't allow textures with spaces into map files, nor color brushes
(reducing the parseEntity: { not found errors)
blocking classname editing from the edit field of the entity inspector
-Undo:
fixed Undo crashes
better Undo on fixed size entities (like misc_models and weapons)
some bugs in undo create bogus worldspawn entities that corrupt the map.
Loading several worldspawn will merge them in the primary one.
Radiant will drop supiscious worldspawn entities at save time
-find/replace bug fixes (still needs some work in BP mode)
-fixed broken View > Show In Use
-fixed installer problems
G_Dewan:
-hash code in PAK library, speed improvement for Map_BuildAllDisplayLists

the remaining textures that have no shader.
-shaders parsing: when several definitions for a shader exist, first is used
-better GetLastError message processing on error
-fixed Fit command in surface inspector for BP mode
-prefs choice "vertex editing splits faces"
-3 points clipping and brush creating, third coordinate in 2D view is based on the "work zone"
q3radiant 182-197 Changes
-------------------------
Editor (TTimo):
+ textures are now loaded with their alpha channel. was a required feature for
the Curry plugin. Some issues have surfaced with 32bit TGA files having an
empty alpha channel. (the textures were totally transparent in the camera view)
these files are buggy and need replacing by either a 24bit TGA, or a proper
alpha channel
+ shortcut keys:
fixed L shortcut for entity list
fixed M shortcut for map info
fixed Ctrl + \ for cubic clipping
fixed Ctrl + Shift + K for next leak spot
fixed R shortcut for mouse rotation
+ brush grouping: not functional yet. Needs Brush Primitives (BP) to be turned on.
basic infrastructure for grouping is done
+ fixed View > Show > Show angles checkbox
+ fixed BP file load / save and loading old format from BP mode.
+ fixed q3map to read BP map format
Plugins API (TTimo):
+ Patches in/out
+ Entities in/out
+ Added GL bindings to IGL interface
+ New IBSPFrontend interface to override the BSP menus
+ New IMessaging interface for message broadcasting to plugins

-added version info
bspc v1.7 changes
-----------------
see the bspc.txt file
Known Problems
--------------
-Prefs are NOT retained when moving to 179 (or later) from earlier versions ( than 179 )
-Windows are all stacked when switching to floating window mode. You must manually align them as you like.
-You must manually run the bot bsp'r if you want bots to be able to run around
-I have not tested plugins extensively with this version but will do so over the next day or so.
-Need to clean up several small memory leaks
Info
----
The editor/tool install MUST be installed in the same directory as Quake 3 Arena. This means if you installed Quake 3 Arena in c:\quake3\ you MUST point the tool installer at that path.
If you want bot support in your maps, you must manually run the bot bsp tool. It is in the \YourQ3InstallPath\Tools\ directory and is called 'bspc.exe'. After you have produced a bsp, you can execute it like:
bspc -bsp2aas c:\quake3\baseq3\maps\mymap.bsp
The editor and included q3map support a new feature called brush primitives. This provides per vertex coordinates for texturing as opposed to per face shift/rotate/scale values. This is a good thing. This is not enabled by default ( you can do so in the project dialog ) but it is still considered experimental AND it changes the map format. A plugin that also supports it will be available soon on www.qeradiant.com. We will be moving to this new format soon but currently use the old format. Consider brush primitives "subject to change" but we are going this direction.
Once installed properly, you should be able to open q3dm1sample.map, choose "BSP - Fast Vis" and within a few minutes you should be able to run around in that map. Remember you must have sv_pure set to 0 to load up maps that do not exist in the pk3 file.
If you shift click on a shader ( white framed texture in the texture window ) AND you have EditPad installed and available on the path ( or the Tool directory ) it will open up EditPad and position the cursor on the shader definition within the shader. EditPad can be had at http://www.jgsoft.com/ , it is a nice replacement for Notepad.
174-179 Changes

Build 173
Changed
- Copy/Paste now uses the Win32 mechanism. This greatly speeds up editor to editor copy/paste.
Build 172
Added
- Hide and Unhide brush(s). Hide ( View Menu and 'H' ), hides the selected brushes. Shift-H shows anything previously hidden.
- Fit functionality in the Surface dialog no longer fubars the FIT exiting the dialog via OK or APPLY.
- Copy/Paste now functions between two open copies of the editor
- Textures | Show In Use now pays attention to Patches.
- The editor will now properly find a default project based on the assumption it lives in the \quake3\q3radiant\ path
In Progress
- Pref Dialog now has functioning Q3 and Q2 options.
- ASE Model load. Should be bug free in another evening.
- ZIP support
- Model Plugins for supporting various model types ( MD4, TIKI, MEN, ASE ) This is essentially moving all of the model preview, interaction, and animation to a plugin to clean the code up.
Deferred
- The new file format changes and new texturing is finished but based on the probable ship date(s), I dont feel comfortable mucking with the map format at this time. This code will be used in the new editor or can be rolled out once Q3 is gone.
Build 169-171
Added
- Control + Shift + X toggles crosshairs
- Added Fit functions to surface dialog. These are more test stuff than anything as the new texturing capabilities coming with the new file format will allow much more versatile texturing.
In Progress
-New file format changes, true ST texturing for brushes, automatic conversion. This will happen soon.
Build 168
Added
-Control + Texture Click to apply texture applies with proper scale on angled faces.
Build 167
---------
Fixed
-Crash when edge dragging brushes with more than 1K points (total)
Build 166 changes
-----------------
Added
-Shift-C cap current patch
-Shift-A will now highlight all patches and caps based on 1. the currently selected face or 2. the current texture if there is no brush or face selected. If a brush is selected it still searches and highlights based on entity class.
Build 165 changes
-----------------
Added
-Texture lock status information, on the right edge status pane, L:move,rotate status. so L:MR means both move and rotate are selected, L: R means just rotate, etc.. Shift-R and Shift-T are hotkeys (always have been) for the locking. Help|Command List has a list of all bound keys.
Changed
-Curve primitives moved from a submenu back to the root.
Fixed
-Crash when pressing 'v' with large number of brushes selected.
Build 164 changes
-----------------
Added
-Brush | Primitive | Sphere - With grip snapping on, this produces some pretty odd faces, not sure what they will look like in game as I have not run one through the tools. If you turn off grid snapping they are constructed very well but as soon as you turn it on and then save/load everything gets snapped. This shows that the current implementation of grid snapping is pretty useless if used as a toggle. I am looking into some painless ways to deal with this (from a users point of view)
Changed
-The current selection is no longer de-selected when a texture directory is loaded.
-The default increment for texture manipulation on patches was change to 0.05 from 0.10. You can also type in much smaller or larger increments into the dialog which will then be used.
Fixed
-Crash when using the clipper on a curve.
Build 161 changes
-----------------
Added
-Edit | Load Prefab... This was there but it now uses .pfb as the default extension for prefabs. MAKE SURE and set the full prefab path you want to use in prefs.
-Edit | Save selection as Prefab... This saves the current selection as a prefab. Defaults to the pref'd prefab location and .pfb extension.
I am working on a preview window that will be used for these and misc_models. Look for that in a few days.
I also discussed grouping (i.e. func_groups) with John a visit or so ago and the current plan is to add key/val pairs to brushes and patches and do away with func_groups. This will allow a lot of flexibility for grouping (hiearchial, named things) as well as other areas too. I will be presenting the overall plan to John soon and if we go with that then this will allow the prefabs to be grouped problem etc.
Build 157 changes
-----------------
Fixed
-misc_model bounding box size on intitial creation
-copying/pasting a misc_model did not update the active edit entity
-misc_models will not continually try to load if the MD3 is not found
Added
-Origin drawing on misc_models, this is what is snapped to grid
-Pref to turn off 'Show Shader' checkbox
-Show Shader checkbox to prefs
-Shift-A with a selected face selects all brushes that 'contain' that faces texture
Known
-Assigning a new model to a rotated misc_model screws the bounding box up
Build 156 changes
-----------------
Fixed
-Texture replacement bug when regioning.
Build 155 changes
-----------------
MAJOR changes internally with this version. Make sure everything is backed up. There should not be anything destructive in it but this is a good precaution. There may still be some memory leaks from the new patch storage stuff, those will be addressed in 156.
Changed
-Patch storage, no longer fixed size, unlimited patches.
Fixed
-Undo, should now work in many more cases, and with patches. (this has been tested the least)
-Cap texturing. Worked in my test cases. If you get a cap that does not texture properly I added
|a key combo for cycling the axis face it textures against. Ctrl+Shift+N does this.
Added
-OpenGL Lighting, turn it on via the view menu. Provides consistent shading/preview between brushes/patches
-New vertex handling, not enabled at present. Still tweaking.
-SHIFT-A selects all entities based on the current selected entity.
Build 154 changes
-----------------
Fixed
-Another instance of entity copy/crash across maps.
Build 153 changes
-----------------
Changed
-"sound" to "noise"
-Show Entities toggle does not fool with func_group'd stuff
Build 152 changes
-----------------
Fixed
-Copy/Paste crash
-Copying brushes across a new map load no longer continually copies them on each subsequent new map
Build 151 changes
-----------------
Added
-Shift clicking a shader in the texture window now spawns "EditPad" and places the cursor at the apporpriated place.
-Patch Inspector (Shift-S) allows access to all patch data and dups surface patch handling. Only works with one patch at a time. If mutliples are selected it uses the latest. This is not quite finished but works.
-Sound player in the Sound Open Dialog (entity window)
Fixed
-Crash when 'Capping' a brush.
Fun Stuff in progress
- MD3 -> Patches. Drop an entire MD3 as a grouped set of patches.
Build 150 changes
-----------------
Added
-Texture show all command.
|Behaviour is as follows:
| 1. Show in use, shows in use.
| 2. Show all, shows everything.
| 3. Showing a particular path, only shows textures in that path. Show All or In Use
| can be used to un-narrow the view.
Ctrl-A is the show all hotkey.
Build 147-149 changes
---------------------
Fixed
-misc_model entity preview bug
-Texture show in use now works properly
-a few shader issues
Build 146 changes
-----------------
Fixed
- Copy/Paste entities across maps crash
- A ton of memory leaks
Added
- Shift-TAB works in bend mode
- Pointfile is removed on file saves
Build 145 changes
-----------------
Fixed
- misc_models no longer shift during save/load
- misc_models copy/paste correctly
- misc_models paint when first assigned
- assigning a new model name to misc_models works
Added
- Shaders have white border in texture palette
- New shader test code based on the fact that shaders are not directory oriented. On by default, to return
| to the old method, turn "Shader Test" off in prefs and restart. This behaviour loads all of the shaders
| at load time and provides the ability to turn off shader display in the palette. The editor MUST FIND
| qer_editorimage in order to work properly with these (this is true for the old stuff too). This should
| fix the shader xref problems.
Build 139 changes
-----------------
Fixed
- MD3's are now origin'd properly with their bounding boxes
- Plugin texture load bug
Added
- Texture quality slider (prefs). This can drastically reduce memory and increase speed at the expense of visual quality.
- Shader support for MD3's, proper shader is pulled per surface (assuming it is tga)
- Multple MD3's can be assigned on a per entity basis. Seperate them with a ';'
| i.e. model=models/players/medium/visor/head.md3;models/players/medium/visor/lower.md3; etc.
- Added 'frame=' specifier (0 based) to entity preview to use a particular frame for preview
| This is still a bit fubar'd
- Subdirectory map support ala Raven
- 'color' entity setting ala Raven
- Shader 'qer_editorimage' textures are now load deferred until their parent texture directory is loaded
- Full Plugin support
- You can now override surface dialog names with a plugin (not much use for q3)
Changed
- After assigning a model or sound, focus is given back to XY
- If you right click and add a misc_model, the entity window is automatically
| switched to and the add model dialog is activated
- Models no longer try to load if they fail once
- Prefs layout. Still ugly.
Build 138 changes
-----------------
Fixed
- qer_editorimage behaviour
Build 136-137 Changes
---------------------
Added
- qer_editorimage flag to shader parsing
- md3 support for entities
- md3 support for misc_model <- this works but it is a cluster fuck of code
| the code tries to pick up the same name for a skin (in the same path)
| grid snapping is not happening, i need to fix this
| some models (like pentagram1.md3) appear to be OFF as far as their constructed origin
| others (all others that i tried) are correct
| Free rotation does not work for these but the entity rotation stuff works fine
- Model... button in entity window for assigning model=value to current entity
- Sound... button in entity window for assigning sound=value to current entity
Build 134 Changes
-----------------
Added
- qer_nocarve flag
- qer_trans flag use 'qer_trans sometransvalue' marks a shader as transparent
- patches draw transparent based on shader information
- default fog setting changed from 0.15 to 0.35
- Plugin menu added (non functional yet)
- Fonts default to standard windows gui font for improved readibility
- Textures associated with a shader have [] around the name
- Shift-clicking a texture associated with a shader brings up the shader in notepad
Changed
-Max brush size bumped to 8192 (Brian Hook for testing), did not test with build tools
Fixed
-Entity dialog lets you type in more than visible space for key/val pairs
-Transparent bug when transparent brushes painted in front (visually) of a curve
Build 127 Changes
-----------------
Added
-Ctrl+Shift+P, this cycles the cap texturing axis on the selected cap. Basically, until
I figure out what the heck is wrong with the auto stuff, use this to correctly texture
a cap that is fubar'd.
-CAP texture button in surface dialog. This does the same as above but uses the default
axis finder (which has the bug).
-Matrox transposition
Build 126 Changes
-----------------
Removed
-Test code for thickening. It was hooked into overlay clear... oops.
Changed
-csg ignores patch symbiot brushes
Build 125 Changes
-----------------
Fixed
-Shift vertex (row/col) selection for patches.
Build 124 Changes
-----------------
Changed
- Temporarily reverted back to patchDef2 .map file format.
Build 123 Changes
-----------------
Changed
-.map patch format, added 'type' field. not used anywhere except the editor (at least for now)
- Patch vertex manipulation. The editor tries to pick all existing points from other patches as well
|You will want to do area selection (in an XY-type view tp select thick patch points if you want to drag
|everything related to the thick patch
Added
- ESC will deselect any patch vertex points selected instead of going completely out of vertex mode
|This only happens with patch vertex selection
- Thick patches, Curve | Thicken... or press Ctrl + T. The thickening happens away from the texture
|side of the patch. So if you want something to thicken inwards, make sure the texture is facing out.
Build 122 Changes
-----------------
Added
-Texture Flush (forces a new map, then a total texture flush)
|One small nit on this is that if you create a brush before loading a new set of textures it
|will use one of the recently loaded textures instead of the default no texture (blue and black checkerboard)
-Patch inverting.
|Ctrl + I invertest the patch,
|Shift + I inverts texture in X,
|Ctrl + Shift + I inverts texture in Y
-Overlay function for patches. Turn on|off using menus or press 'Y' to make a patch an overlay and
|ctrl+shift+Y to clear all overlays
Fixed
-Inverted beveles cap and texture properly
Build 121 Changes
-----------------
Added
-Patch texture inverting. Ctrl + Shift + I. I think this does what you wanted.
-'S'urface dialog grabs texture name from a single selected patch
Better (a little)
-Capping bevels makes the cap the right shape but the 3rd point is not on the right plane.
In most cases you can move it and snap it to the right place. Texturing is not all fucked
up anymore either. Once I hear back from John on my math stupidity, I will finish fixing it.
These statements are probably only true for non-bent bevels.. bending will probably screw
stuff up again.
Build 120 Changes
-----------------
Added
-Fine tune texturing for Patches. Using the surface dialog, you can type in very small
(3 decimal places) numbers for fine tuning on both scale and shift. Currently you can
only fine tune with the Surface dialog, I am in the process of adding a fine tune settings
dialog for use with the keypad keys.
Build 119 Changes
-----------------
Added
-TAB cycles through any entity grouped brush
-Texture window can now be scaled by 10, 25, 50, 100, 200%
-Texture window now has a optional scroll bar, turn it on in prefs
-Texture path linkage
Put a "textureinfo.ini" file in a texture directory and add the following
[include]
Path0 = e:\games\quake2\plop\textures\24 bit\
You can have Path0 - Path9 as inclusive directories. The linked pathes will not
load and process link information to keep someone from linking two paths together
and causing an endless loop
Build 116 Changes
-----------------
Added
-Ctrl-P Toggle show patches
Fixed
-Gamma correction
Removed
-Model preview load code which was probably causing brandon's crash
Build 115 Changes
Tweaked
-Cap texturing
-Ctrl S was already bound to File | Save
-Ctrl C is bound to standard windows Copy
Added
-Ctrl-S Save file
Build 114 Changes
-----------------
Tweaked
-Cap texturing
Added
-ALT + Shift click will cycle through "selectable" brushes along the
line of site from the mouse click. Works in all views. This is cool.
-Square cylinders
Fixed
-Show curves works properly
Pending
-Shifting textures on patches should honor scale (cannot dup)
-Disperse columns crashes (cannot dup)
-Capping bevels is messed up
-cap texturing may still be fubar'd
-Thick pipe primitive
-Scale origin + point scale similar to rotate. Will allow fluted stuff etc..
Build 113 Changes
-----------------
Added
-Capping (with dialog for Bevels and Endcaps)
Build 112 Changes
-----------------
Fixed
-Yet another surface dialog glitch
-Area selection tool paints in all xy oriented views
Build 111 Changes
-----------------
Fixed
-Surface dialog face selection bug
Build 110 Changes
-----------------
Added
-'B' - toggles Bend mode
Fixed
-Naturalized texturing on patches
-Bend whackiness on intial drag during start of a bend
-Setting bend rotation axis in XY Top view
Build 109 Changes
-----------------
Added
-Ctrl 'I' - inverts a curve
-Ctrl 'Numpad +' adds a row
-Ctrl 'Numpad -' removes a row
-Ctrl+Shift 'Numpad +' adds a column
-Ctrl+Shift 'Numpad -' removes a column
-Ctrl 'E' - redisperses rows
-Ctrl+Shift 'E' - redisperses columns
-Ctrl 'G' snaps patches to the nearest grid
-Surface control dialog now allows values to be typed in and applied to patches.
This is working except for shifts which still go in .9 and 1.1 amounts.
Changed
-Regioning no longer puts a top and bottom on the region
Build 108 Changes
-----------------
Added
-Area selection. Works in 3 xy views but only draws in the xy view. I will look into this asap.
Changed
-Selection point size for vertex mode with patches. i.e. The handles for dragging patch points around are bigger.
Build 107 Changes
-----------------
Changed
-Inverted curve options removed from menu
-Bevels and endcaps are contsructed properly
-Endcaps will not work for bevels and endcaps
Build 106 Changes
-----------------
Fixed
-shift middle clicking a light now adds the correct average color based on .TGA files
-display updates properly when using TAB to go between func_group'd brushes
-Patch texture rotation is much better. Still not completely perfect but should be usable.
Build 105 Changes
-----------------
Added
-TAB cycles through func_grouped brushes
-textures with a shader have a [] wrapped around the name in the texture window
-shift + left clicking on a shader texture in the texture window will bring up notepad with the shader file
