Build [331]

[Effects]

Hotfix - the function effects::fx_origin_frame was accessing edit_entity each frame. This is unsave because it can point to junk memory when transitioning into and out of prefabs.

[Effects]

• complete effects editor ( -- physics, light and decals )
• fix distortion effects
• radiant can now draw effect xmodels
• handle sound elements

Build [325]

[Effects]

• add effects framework (from effectsEd)
• add fx_origin entity via custom project and def file

current functionality

• load .efx files (effectsEd files)
• convert and display effects within radiant
• play, play-repeat, pause and stop effects
• adjust effect timescale
• draw debug triangles for effect meshes

current limitations

• can not edit effects (like effectsEd)
• can not play multiple .efx's at once (multiple fx entities)
• physics are not supported
• decals (mark meshes) are not supported

using effects

• place an fx_origin entity
• change the default effect by using the "open file dialog" button within entity properties (behind effect name)
• use camera toolbar or main toolbar buttons (later invisible by default) to start / stop / pause effects
• use the effects settings window to adjust timescale or toggle debug tris drawing

createfx generator logic (menubar > file > generate file > createfx)

• generate createfx / loadfx files for all fx_origin entities on the currently loaded map
• exports files to bin/IW3xRadiant/createfx

[Entity Properties]

• model keyvalue pair is now a droptarget (drag models from modelselector into the textbox)
• add "open file dialog" button behind model keyvalue pair, replacing the delete button
• add "open file dialog" button behind fx keyvalue pair
• add fx_origin logic

[General]

• IW3xRadiant now creates and loads its own registry keys and no longer uses the stock ones
• minimizing radiant and closing it from the taskbar will no longer result in an assert on the next startup
• fix unwanted guizmo transformations when selecting multiple brushes/entities (no guizmo activation till initial left click is released)
• fix an assertion when docking the edit colors window
• add play, repeat, pause, stop and effect settings to the camera toolbar
• add new/missing commands to the main toolbar (invisible by default)
• add new/missing commands to the hotkey list so that they can be bound
• merge fakesun/postfx and effects settings windows
• more visually pleasing tooltips (camera toolbar)
• make normal-based fake lighting the default
• rename menubar > file > misc to Generate File ..
