Current topics for ET documentation

[sock]

They just skipped the wolf-Radiant codebase entirely, and started building out from GtkRadiant again I’m guessing. This means they keep all the latest and greatest tools, along with more stability overall.

Also means it’ll be easier to roll the changes back into GtkRadiant so it’ll just be ‘yet another game supported’ instead of a hastle to install and setup.

Exactly.

All ET maps where created with a hybrid version of the public GTK called SDRadiant.

oke so why aint we alloed too have this editor to use ? :blah:

Two diverging codebases are two separate codebases. The Splash Damage GTKRadiant variant forked off some time ago, AFAIK, and there are many pluses to converging them.

You could probably go ask the GTKRadiant devs, they have an IRC channel they sometimes hang around.[/quote]

Yes, the fork happened a while ago, but all GTK changes have been merged into SDRadiant as we have gone along.

Feels weird to have a forum where the devs actually post - you guys actually know stuff worth knowing!

Trying to second guess ET mapping is just a waste of your time. Use your time wisely and prepare your map ideas first.

I disagree, and am already along with several others working them out, and am even building up an entity.def file for ET. Of course, once radiant comes out with built-in ET support it’ll be obselete, but it is fun messing and having my ET map up and running with constructible objectives and health / ammo cabinets and stuff

Also, having had to do it in the past, documentation takes longer than the actual release, so either we’ll get radiant sans complete ET documentation (so we are where we are now), or you’ll have to delay radiant ages to complete the docs and release together. Please feel free to prove me wrong \o/

Tree planting? Ya have a tool to plant trees? Doesn’t sound that necessary actually :).
