Additional map editor features

The following features were added to the map editor:

OBJ model format

OBJ files can be used as models, and texture information is taken from their associated MTL file.

In Blender, make sure "use material groups" is enabled when exporting.

Expand selection to whole entities

Ctrl-Alt-E now selects the parent entity, too. Useful for duplicating the entity, as opposed to just its brushes.

Targeting lines

Targeting lines are also shown for target2, target3, target4 and killtarget keys to match usage in Nexuiz.

Non-modal Rotate and Scale dialogs

Rotate and Scale dialogs are no longer modal, so you can keep the dialog open and e.g. change the selection and then apply another rotation.

Four-pane view improvement

In the four-pane view, Ctrl-Tab now centers all three 2D views to the currently selected entity, so you do not need to hold Shift too.

Strafe mode

The option "Strafe mode" can be changed to select the strafing behaviour: default mode "Both" matches GtkRadiant 1.5: Ctrl enables sideways strafing, Shift-Ctrl enables forward moving. The other modes allow to switch between one of these two behaviours permanently, so Shift-Ctrl can be used to select faces while moving around in the 3D view.

Regrouping entities

When having a brush of an entity selected, this command removes that brush from the entity and puts it in worldspawn. When having a brush and an entity selected, it puts the brush into that entity (note: do this in the entity list or using the Ctrl-Alt-E bind "Expand selection to whole entities" to make sure that the entity, and not just one of its brushes, is selected). That way, you can insert/remove brushes from entities without having to retype all entity keys or redoing the brushwork.

Clone selection change

"Clone selection" (space) no longer changes targetname/target of entities, so you can clone to create many entities to target one. If you want to change targetname/target when cloning like Radiant did before, use Shift+Space.

The clip line

The clip tool shows an extra line pointing in the direction of what's getting erased when you hit Enter. That way, the mistake of accidentally deleting the wrong half when clipping can be avoided.

Automatic game configuration

NetRadiant detects being inside a Q2World or Nexuiz install, and automatically configures its engine path to it. Other games can be easily added to the list.

Editable keyboard shortcuts

The Help/Keyboard shortcuts dialog now allows changing the shortcuts, so you can e.g. enable previously unbound features.

Portable NetRadiant

If you create a subdirectory called settings in your Radiant install, the install becomes "portable", that means it'll write its settings there, and not in a user-specific directory. Useful to take Radiant together with its settings with you on an USB stick.

Makes especially much sense in conjunction with automatic game configuration.
