29/08/2008 DarkRadiant 0.9.7 released

After a couple of months of development DarkRadiant 0.9.7 is ready for a public release. It contains a number of bugfixes, a rewritten namespace and a new Objectives GUI to facilitate editing objectives in DarkMod maps.

Major changes include:

  • New plug-in: Objectives Editor. This greatly facilitates the setup of objective spawnargs for TDM maps.
  • A checkbox is available to choose whether selecting object in Entity List moves camera/selection.
  • Added "Make Visportal" feature for automatic texturing of the target brush.
  • Redesigned Namespace module. This enables a better behaviour when changing entity keyvalues referring to other entity names.

06/04/2008 DarkRadiant 0.9.6 released

After three months of intensive development DarkRadiant 0.9.6 is ready for a public release. It contains a number of bugfixes, support for layers and a Difficulty Editor GUI specifically for editing DarkMod-maps.

Layers

All objects in the scene can be assigned to a specific layer (see screenshot). Layers can be created and deleted via the LayerControlDialog (default shortcut is "M").

  • Layer visibility is toggled via the togglebutton on the left of the dialog. The according command in the shortcut dialog is ToggleLayerControlDialog.
  • Objects can be added to, moved to or removed from a layer.
  • Nodes can be part of one or more layers (but must be part of at least one).
  • A node is visible, if any of its layers is visible - in other words, a node is hidden when all its layers are hidden.
  • The context menu (see shots in a previous post) is the intuitive way of assigning items to layers.
  • If a Node is removed from all layers, it "falls back" into the Default layer "0".
  • If a Layer is deleted, all nodes will be removed from it (the previous item applies here).
  • The node-to-layer mapping is saved into the .darkradiant "Map Information File" and restored upon map load.
  • There are shortcuts for "MoveSelectionToLayer" #0 to #10, "AddSelectionToLayer" #0 to #10 and "RemoveFromLayer" #0 to #10. The visibility can also be toggled quite easily via shortcuts ("ShowLayer0" to "ShowLayer10" and "HideLayer0-10").
  • The keyboard shortcuts dialog has been moved to the Edit menu.
