TexTool plugin for Q3Radiant

Introduction

TexTool is a set of texture tools for Q3Radiant. It was designed to help fine-tuning texture placement on brushes and patches.

Warning:

The plugin needs brush primitives texture coordinates to operate. If this feature is not enabled in your project settings you'll only be able to edit patches.

Basic use

It's a "drag-n-drop control points" interface. Select a single face on a brush ( with shift+ctrl+left mouse clic), or a patch, and do Plugins > Q3 Texture Tools > Go.... You can select points and move them... if you are editing a brush face, you can rotate the shape by clicking on an anchor point first, then dragging another point.

There are also a few misc keys to help you. You can right clic + move the mouse to change the point of view and use Inser and Suppr to zoom in/out.

The Clone Texture... command

This one is a feature request from SpoG. Sometimes it can be usefull to copy texture data between patches. For example, you can fit the texture on a flat patch, and then apply it on a wierd 3D patch. Simply select the two patches ( the origin and then the destination ) and hit Plugins > Q3 Texture Tools > Go....

Appendix: keyboard shortcuts

You can use the following keyboard shortcuts:

KEY | usage
ESC | cancel the changes and hide TexTool window
RETURN | validate changes into the editor (also resets the view)
INSERT | zoom in
SUPPR | zoom out
RIGHT CLIC+MOVE | move the view
LEFT CLIC+MOVE | grab a control point and move it
RIGHT CLIC | drop down menu
