Feature List

• completely revamped user interface with docking, tabs, saved layouts and more (Dear ImGui)
• play / edit / create / export effects as CreateFX files right from within radiant (makes effectsEd completely obsolete)
• Nvidia PhysX integration for dynamic placement of prefabs or physics-enabled effects (can be turned into misc_models)
• Nvidia PhysX enabled character movement with cod4 movement mechanics (bouncing) character movement
• d3dbsp loading and bsp/light compilation from within radiant
• automatically generate reflections within radiant when compiling the maps bsp
• live link (sync. brushes (with collision), camera and worldspawn settings between cod4 and radiant)
• mesh painting (xmodels/prefabs) with per object settings, random size, angles, weight etc.
• 3D guizmo to precisely manipulate entities and brushes from the camera window (ImGuizmo)
• a prefab browser with the ability to generate thumbnails + drag and drop prefabs into the scene
• a model browser to preview xmodels + drag and drop models into the scene
• an effect browser to preview effects + drag and drop effects into the scene
• custom lighting shader with normal-mapping, specular highlights, reflections and fog
• ability to limit shadow drawing distance when using stock sunpreview (++FPS)
• filmtweak support
• render actual water instead of case-textures
• increased asset limits to allow high poly models
• realtime viewports
• context aware grid and camera context menus with QoL features
• better surface / property editor
• better vertex edit dialog
• better layer dialog
• display missing materials using a proper invalid_texture material
• zoom to cursor
• toast notifications
• editable toolbars, hotkeys, colors
• new file dialogs with working default paths
• texture window toolbar for quick filtering
• custom texture favourite lists (like customizable texture filters)
• rope/wire generator
• sun direction visualizer
• a proper console with dvar support (incl. dvar suggestions and autocomplete)
• increased undo limit
• print parsed entity and brush num on map load making it easier to find issues in map files (off by default)
• bo3 tool textures (optional)
• terrain patch thickening
• stamp prefabs
• create prefab from selection
• extrude selected brush to other brush faces
• • alot more QoL features

Gameview - hide all tool entities and textures with a single click

Effects

• New entity: fx_origin
• Play individual effects assigned to fx_origin entites right within the editor
• Effects directly react to translations and rotations of their fx_origin entity
• Play, play-repeat, pause and stop effects from the camera toolbar
• Edit and create effects right within radiant (EffectsEd)
• Ability to step through the effect frame by frame
• Adjust global effect timescale and enable debugging options using the effects settings menu
• Generate createfx / loadfx files for all fx_origin entities on the currently loaded map
• Nvidia PhysX to handle collisions with the ability to turn spawned physics-objects into misc_models
• Future Goal - play effects of multiple fx_origin entites at once

Rendering

• [d3dbsp preview] with almost all rendering features found in cod4
  • logic to quickly toggle between radiant/bsp ‘worlds’
  • bsp and light compiling options
  • automatically reload bsp after compilation
  • effect lights/spotlights visible with loaded bsp
  • alot of stock iw3-engine debug dvars that are stripped from cod4 but available in radiant
• Filmtweaks
• Fog
• Specular and normalmapping
• Option to disable patch backface wireframe
• Option to disable entity origin boxes
• Active light preview no longer darkens the rest of the map
• Selecting a brush with sunlight-preview enabled no longer darkens the rest of the map
• Sunlight-preview shadows can be disabled or clipped by distance (++FPS)
• Sundirection debug visualizer

• Synchronize radiant and game camera
• Synchronize worldspawn settings

If you want the newest and latest but potentially unstable build, get a nightly. Follow the second paragraph and get an actual release otherwise.

    <- download :: nightly builds - develop branch ( download and install the latest release before using nightly’s )

(make sure to use the release build and only switch to the debug build if you encounter a crash that you want to report)
