Edit Mode additions

[Ruthven]

Edit mode is great, don't get me wrong, but it could be a lot better without too much work, methinks, especially in terms of scene editing. Some of the most needed additions (in my opinion) are:

- Undo button. When you raise up some ground too quickly, accidentally paint a few extra triangles a certain ground texture, an undo button would be very useful, though not entirely necessary.
- Copy ability. I arrange some scene props to my liking, then I would love to be able to select them all, copy 'em, and paste the exact same formation of scene props. (Obviously they can all be rotated.)
- Outliners. Just a thin blue (you can see blue easy) circle that shows exactly what radius my ground texture/elevator is at, so I know exactly how much I'm painting/raising/lowering/smoothing.
- Scale slider. Randomizing the scale can be useful for stuff, but a slider that can set it to be half the size to twice the size would be lovely.
- Randomization preview. It's not that big a deal, but with the randomize scale/rotation it'd be nice to see how different the scale/rotation will be before you place the object.


There are a ton more useful things that could be added, so if any of you come up with some, just post 'em.

Sounds like good stuff to me. ESPECIALLY the undo button xD

Thumbs way up, mon. In fact, I bet they already added stuff like this in Warband. We'll just have to wait and see!

What annoys me that when you're placing an object half of it is stuck below ground level. Whenever i place a table in a lords hall the legs disappear underground so there's just a wooden board on the floor

Raise it up then.

Yay, improving modder tools! Boo, problematic interfaces!

 

[Tintin]

Raise it up then.

What button is that? 'c' doesn't do anything.

 

[The_Beyonder]

Right click on the object, hold the 'T' key, and scroll up using your mouse

That's how you fix the height =P

Hope it helps! Btw Tintin, I gotta say, I love your quote. I'm going to have to remember that one.

Who's Amber (The Fool)?

It's a character in a book by my favourite author. Robin Hobb

Sweetness.

Sweetness.

Can it be the next QOTW?!

Also, a simple save button would be nice, instead of closing, saving, and going back to where you were.
