Added a couple of new features last night...

First off, the sector tag and SECTOREFFECTOR types now show up in the number entry field, so if you can't remember which number a particular effect is, it's that much easier to find what you're looking for.

Second, all of the 3D mode number input stuff now works in real time. What that means is that you see the effect of your changes before you even press enter. This makes it much easier to adjust shades, palettes, visibility, et cetera precisely without having to hit the key combo again to enter another number.

More to come soon...

Increased sector, wall and sprite limit. Full looking up and down suport.

Is it possible to edit wall lenght by entering a number?
It would be very helpfull for making shadows on walls.

[TerminX]

It's possible to edit wall length by manually adjusting the coordinates of the wall points, so yes...

[The Commander]

Is it possible to add a point (insert) on a sector/wall (white or red) while you have allready started drawing with out all the drawing you have done just disaphere.

[TerminX]

Probably, but not without a bunch of work on stuff that already works fine, so it won't be happening any time soon. It's not worth the possibility of corrupt maps.

[The Commander]

Ah, well. Dont worry about it then. I wouldnt want to corrupt the map im working on. :O

I noticed the mouselook in Mapster became rather garbage-like at some point. I fixed it tonight.

Ive also noticed that sometimes after running Eduke and then running Mapster straight after and switching between 2D and 3D mode there is a slight pause and you can see the last remaining screen of Eduke of it ingame right before you had quit, i think it only seems to do it if you have been running the HRP.

[Roma Loom]

I think it's pretty usual thing. I have it pretty often with games and 3ds max started right after closing any game.

[The Commander]

I was thinking it must be something common having something to do with the opengl or display driver or something. As long as its not a sign my vid card starting to get old.

Mapster has mouselook? How do you use it?

Actually, on that note, is there a place with all of Mapster's unique features relative to Build listed? The wiki seems like it just has an incomplete FAQ on general Build stuff.

F3 in 3D Mode.

Alternatively, you can also turn on the UnrealEd style control scheme (F5 in 3D Mode) and hold the right mouse button to look.

Speaking of the UnrealEd style mouse controls, I'd like to welcome Helixhorned, the author of that specific patch, to the EDuke32 dev team.
