GtkRadiant 1.5.0 RC1

[maz0r]

Just wanted to inform you guys, that a new build of our beloved GtkRadiant is available. And especially the new texture browser sounds awesome. I'm currently downloading, let's see if it is worth this extra thread.

=> Windows Installer

Changes since Beta 03-02:

• - Added bobtoolz
  - Added Nexuiz, Darkplaces, Prey and Warzow support.
  - Added support for patches in texture-painting tool.
  - Added support for loading both .ent and .def files at the same time.
  - Added strafing for the camerawindow while holding ctrl (additional forward movement can be enabled by pressing shift during strafe).
  - Added brushexport Plugin by namespace (Exports selected brushes as wavefront object, supports multiple collapse modes and a materialignore list).
  - Added sunplug (Mapcoordinator-plugin for ET) by Topsun (ET only: setting mapcoordsmins and mapcoordsmaxs in the worldspawn)
  - Added Enhanced Texturebrowser (ETB) (see http://www.map-craft.com/modules.php?name=ETB)
  - Added shaderplug, accompanies the ETB
  - Added View Filter "Invert filters/Reset filters" function
  - Added "select inside" and "select touching" (both functions now work with multiple selectionbrushes, allowing complex selection operations).
  - Option to toggle the camera window stats on/off (view --> show --> show stats).
  - Added warzow- and tremoulus-support to q3map2
  - Added new texture browser option: View Hide Image Missing.
  - New texture browser option: View Fixed Size.
  - Inverted bevel can be used with end caps
  - Camera movement speed changes. Increase speed = SHIFT+KP_PLUS, decrease speed = SHIFT+KP_MINUS. New option to link the strafe speed to camera movement speed (default: linked).
  - UFO:Alien Invasion Plugin
  - Added anisotropic view filter
  
  - Fixed detail brushes being turned structural when texture is set.
  - Fixed doom3 func_static with blank 'model' key being invisible.
  - Fixed crash when loading entity definitions in quake4 1.3 point release.
  - Fixed entity inspector sliders to always show
  - Several 64bit fixes
  - Fixed some hotkey collisions
  - Fixed Entity Ungroup
  - Fixed translucent brushes becoming invisible when selected
  - Entity names are now drawn for group entities in Doom3 and Quake 3 mode
  - Fixed "jumping" texcoords when switching to a shader with different size

Note, that it is a RC, so - maybe - you should also post your response to this original thread at SplashDamage, where I actually found it.

I always wanted this. The world gets better!
Now we can collapse a set of datail brushes to a mesh.

Well, you always could do that with Q3Map2. This may just make it a little easier.

I'm going to try out this new release.

It's worth looking at, they've done a few things generally that seem to have made it much easier to use thatn before, definately a better alternative for blocking out Q4 stuff that's for sure.
