UnrealEd Suggestion List

A page to list suggestions for UnrealEd. Note that there is no guarantee than anyone from Epic will read it... :)

Movement and brush handling improvements

  • These features would greatly extend the ease of brush handling
    • Brush nudge feature - you should be able to nudge brushes using the keyboard - would be a great help in good alignment.
    • Ability to restrict brush movement in X/Y/Z axes and on the XY/YZ/XZ planes
    • Real-time Movement mode inside the editor, instead of having to drag the mouse around.
    • A guide sort-of feature, as in Photoshop

A more efficient way to convert ”BSP” into a “Static Mesh”

The current one does not weld the vertices, this means a normal box that should only have eight vertices, ends up with twenty-four, when converted in the editor.

How hard would it be to program it, so vertices with matching coordinates on the same face would be joined?

Even better, would be if it just welded all vertices, and then in a new mesh “editor” window the user retextured, smoothed and optimized the mesh for them self.

  • Suggestion for a few simple commands for the mesh editor...
    • Delete selected poly
    • Assign selected polygons to a smoothing group
    • Assign texture to selected polygons
    • Align textures on selected polygons
    • Pan texture
    • Scale texture

Some sort of lightmapping for static meshes.

Would be very nice, I know you can do it with lightbaking in 3DSM or whatever, but with this feature in the ed would mean that you wouldn't have to set up lights in 3DSM etc. Obvoiusly shouldn't be overused cuz that would use up tons of texture memory. (Also useful for those of us that don't have 3DSM 5 :)

SM touching up tool

To smooth edges/make them sharper in Ed. Also, same thing for skins: Smooth/sharpen and lighten/darken.

Movers but not SMs

Any way to see movers but not static meshes?
