Changelog

Build [352]

[Gui]

• toolbar button "open" now uses the new filedialog aswell
• the open-filedialog now has a file-filter/searchbar
• save/load the zero drop height option (toolbar option, probably an oversight by OG radiant devs)
• add menubar menu tools
• add rope and noise generator to tools ^

[Rope Generator]

• tool to generate a curve patch (rope/cable) between 2 info_null entities with options for slack, subdivision and thickness

[Model Previewer]

• set default rendering technique to "fake sun"
• added model-planting buttons
• added LOD/ vertcount / surface information for the selected model

[Renderer]

• added logic to visualize the sun direction (can be enabled and tweaked from the menubar > renderer > Light/Sun Preview > Debug Sundirection)

[Renderer]

• disabled selection box when using the guizmo to translate vertices to fix deselection of vertices after translation

Build [350]

[General]

• iw3xradiant now checks for newer releases upon starting and will display a message within the menubar (instead of About) with links to the latest changelog, the github release and a direct download link
• fixed a bug that let the mouse stay invisible when using Alt + Tab whilst moving the camera
• removed default binding for the ToggleZ and ToggleCamera hotkeys
• dragging models from the model previewer into the scene now automatically calls the model planting function
• entity property editor: added a dropdown menu button next to the add new key-value-pair button with kvp templates
• radiant can now load xmodels with more then [32704] indices (now uses the same limit as iw3 [1048576])
• added dvar parse_debug to print entity and brush info while parsing a map file (off by default) to aid with parsing errors (can be toggled within preferences > developer)
• added a filter for fx_origins called FX to other filters
• added command center_camera_on_selection with default hotkey "END" (hotkey to center the camera was changed to "CTRL + END")

[Gui]

• refactored alot of the underlying gui code
• all file dialogs are now done using a heavily modified version of Limeoats file dialog for Dear ImGui (https://github.com/Limeoats/L2DFileDialog)
• added an option to use the original file dialogs (preferences > gui)
• the empty entity that would normally stay when canceling the file dialogs to spawn misc_models / misc_prefabs will now be deleted automatically
• selecting models in the file dialog to spawn misc_models now previews them in the model previewer (if it is open)
• text-log within the console can now be highlighted and copied (per line only)
• removed option to render either the grid or the camera window as mainframe backgrounds
• removed the floating toolbar option

[Gui - Grid Context Menu]

• sub-group entities within the create entity list (similar to how og. radiant did it)
• fixed a bug that let both the old and the new context menu appear at the same time
• added ungroup entity option
• slight visual tweaks

---

Build [340]

[Gui]

• update Dear ImGui to v1.88+ (now comes with an event queue which should help with low fps situations)
• improvements to text-input (window can be out of focus while typing)

[Gui - Camera Context Menu]

• ported camera context menu to imgui
• holding the CTRL key whilst selecting brushes/patches by their material, will keep the context menu open (to select multiple)
• prefabs / models (any entity) will display either its name or the classname of the entity instead of $opaque
• add texture fit / lmap if a single patch is selected
• add increase / decrease subdivision if a single curve patch is selected
• add enter / leave prefab
  • right click a prefab with or without selecting it will present an option to enter it
  • context menu will always work and display "leave prefab", no matter what and where you click, if inside a prefab

[Gui - Grid Context Menu]

• ported grid context menu to imgui (can be toggled within preferences > gui)
• removed worldspawn from context menu
• only show options valid for the current selection
• context menu will always work and display "leave prefab" if inside a prefab

[Gui - Vertex Edit Dialog]

• ported vertex edit dialog to imgui
  • made hotkey open the imgui variant by default
  • add old/new toggle to preferences > gui
• add feature: add noise to selected vertices
  • select vertices you want to apply noise to
  • set noise scales to whatever you like (scale = units) and hit the "add noise" button

[Misc]

• modelpreview: add button to refresh xmodel list
• single character hotkeys are working properly now
• revert changed hotkey for overbrightshift up/down (curve patch subdivision) to the original hotkey
• add missing effects editor toolbar image
• general clean-up and refactoring
• changed imgui window-switching hotkey from CTRL+TAB to SHIFT+TAB so it does not interfere with the grid window
• fix camera selection rectangle getting stuck when dragged out of the camera window
• camera guizmo now translates selected vertices when in vertex select mode (patches)

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.

---

Build [330]

[Effects]

• complete effects editor ( -- physics, light and decals )
• fix distortion effects
• radiant can now draw effect xmodels
• handle sound elements
• better play, pause, retrigger logic
• add edit-effect toolbar button
• add "effects" menu-entry
• register effect dvars
• debug plume support (text in space)
• fix nullptr assert in fx_origin frame when entering/leaving prefabs
• fix random rotation around forward axis for fx_runner elements

[General]

• re-implement sunpreview shadows (default off - menu > renderer > light preview > enable sun shadows)
• ability to only draw shadows within a certain radius, increasing frames per second (similar to cubic clipping)
• discord rich presence displaying current loaded map or prefab (can be disabled within preferences)
• automatically load custom project file at startup

---

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 ..
