Assess brush primitives support

TTimo commented 11 years ago

Apparently netradiant (1.5 source code lineage) is using brush primitives by default.

I commented out the option to enable brush primitives mode in 1.6 some time ago, thinking that it wasn't used at all in idtech3 stuff, but apparently I was wrong.

Review BP detection, converting old style maps etc.
Review the behavior of the surface inspector in BP mode
What needs to change in the interface and how radiant communicates with the end user about BP's implications

Think that's material for post 1.6.4 though?

What does this mode actually do?

TTimo commented 10 years ago

The functionality is setup in the project settings and off by default.

The surface inspector is rather broken when BP mode is on.
The keyboard shortcuts (Shift+Arrows) are working fairly well.

Don't want to touch this in 1.6.4, but it could be a good thing to tackle for a 1.7 series maybe. Would want to resurrect the texture fitting plugin?

Removed milestone, will probably pick this for the 1.6.5 release cycle.
