Doom 3 Mapping!

[DD]

I was fapping around in doom 3 editor tonight and it's pretty neato! My big complaint has to be that 3d viewport movements blow ass compared to hammer and UED. Anyone with xp in radiant that knows a good way to customize the 3d viewport movement keys? I'd like to be able to mouselook, move forward backward with w/s and strafe with a/d. Somehow I doubt this is possible because the 3d viewport sucks ass but it's worth a shot.

I've been wanting to get into Doom3 mapping once I finish my NW stuff.

Hopefully the community will stick with the game, and it wont fizzle out like Farcry (which was a popular game, but people sorta left it when they had finished the SP campaign.)

a shame i dont have time for experimenting with these new engines anymore, wud be kewl to do a new de_meat in doom3~

Bring down the console in game and simply type "editor". I'd run the game in windowed mode for when you do this though otherwise it seems to fuck up.

DD, I feel exactly the same way. Any way to get the viewports to look more like Hammer? Plus the camera, which is a bitch to control... surely there must be some way to change it to be more like Hammer/GTK Radiant.

Under view or viewport drop down menu you should see a sub menu called toggle. Toggle on the different viewports & adjust. They might open behind other windows. You can fly around in a really lame way by right clicking and also verticle and strafe by ctrl right clicking. Still sucks, I want noclip style!

The easy way... =)

1) Add +editor to your shortcut. This will start the editor right away so you don't have to bother with the console.

2) Open up your DoomConfig.cfg file and set r_fullscreen to 0. This will prevent the mouse cursor from being hidden.

3) Set r_brightness and r_gamma to 0. Otherwise doom 3 will alter your brightness settings, making things on your desktop a lot brighter then they should be.

4) Have fun!

Here it is spelled out...

"C:\Program Files\Doom 3\Doom3.exe" set r_fullscreen to 0 +editor

or

"C:\Program Files\Doom 3\Doom3.exe" set r_fullscreen to 0 Set r_brightness 0 set r_gamma to 0 +editor

Create a new Doom 3 Icon first call it Doom 3 Editor. then add one of the lines to Target properties, No need t edit your config files.

gives me a bunch of errors. "restart editor if z view is not working" or something, and all the viewpoints are white. and restarting doesnt do anything. maybe im just stupid.
