Build/Mapster32 Keyboard Commands

3D Mode: Mouse

The purpose of mouse in 3D mode is pointing at some objects in a map and looking around (F3 toggles mouse look).

Mouse pointer always points (see info about it at the bottom of the screen) at one of these objects:

1. wall
2. ceiling of sector
3. floor of sector
4. sprite
5. masked wall (non-transparent or semi-transparent wall between sectors)

It's important to understand this concept:
Some commands work differently depending on the current object (the object the mouse points at).
Some commands manipulate only the current object, some commands manipulate the selected (also called "highlighted") sprites/sectors in 2D mode, and some commands work globally.

Mouse buttons

LEFT lock the current object. The current object won't be changing as long as the button is pressed.
WHEEL change shade (+CTRL: in increments of 4)
WHEEL+ALT change visibility
LEFT+WHEEL change tile
RIGHT+WHEEL move object up/down
MIDDLE temporary mouse look (when not in UnrealEd-style mouse mode)

Additionally, there is UnrealEd-style mouse navigation in 3D mode (toggle it with F5), with the following bindings:
RIGHT mouse look
LEFT x: turning, y: move forward/back
LEFT+RIGHT x: strafe left/right, y: move up/down
MIDDLE y: move in viewing direction
The console variable pk_uedaccel changes the speed of navigation exponentially (valid values are 0-5).

It is possible to move around objects using the mouse and holding down specific modifier keys:
LEFT+ALT move object up/down (+CTRL: in larger increments)
LEFT+SHIFT move sprite in horizontal plane (+CTRL: grid-aligned)
The two preceding controls also work on a set of sprites highlighted in 2D mode.
LEFT+SHIFT pan ceiling/floor/wall texture
LEFT+CTRL scale wall texture or size of sprite
LEFT+CTRL change slope of floor/ceiling

3D Mode: Selecting Tile Mode

After pressing the V key in 3D mode, Mapster32 switches to "select tile" mode.

Keys

UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/PGUP/PGDN/HOME/END movements (CTRL modifies some commands)
KP / zoom in
KP * zoom out
Z toggle tile zoom

G goto specified tile
U goto start of user defined art (3584)
A goto start of Atomic edition's art (4096)
E goto start of extended art (6144,9216)

S Search for a named tile. When ^ is entered as the first character, anchor string at the beginning.

V select from all tiles
T select from pre-defined tile group which can be edited in tiles.cfg or added from within the tile selector. For this, press SPACE on the tiles to be grouped (CTRL-SPACE to select a range from starting from the last selection with SPACE). When you're ready, press Ctrl-G and you'll be queried for a group hotkey and name. The new tile group should now be saved persistently in tiles.cfg.

ESC cancel
ENTER accept

2D Mode: Mouse

The purpose of mouse in 2D mode is pointing, selecting, moving object in a map.

Every time mouse is pointing at one of these:

1. Nothing
2. Sector
3. Sector and wall
4. Sector and sprite
5. Wall (wall without sector - map is corrupt)
6. Sprite (sprite without sector - map is corrupt)

Some commands work differently depending on the current object (the object the mouse points at).
To solve the ambiguity between sectors and walls/sprites, one usually must press ALT to work with walls/sprites instead of sectors.

RSHIFT select vertices/sprites (+;: set difference, +': set union, note that they have to be pressed when RSHIFT is released)
RALT select sectors (set ops as with RSHIFT; additionally, when RCTRL is pressed at RALT release time, then for a sector to be selected, it must be "inside" the mouse pointer instead of being surrounded by the rectangle)
WHEEL zoom
WHEEL+ALT move camera and zoom
LEFT BUTTON drag sectors/vertices/sprites
RIGHT BUTTON move camera
RIGHT MIDDLE move camera

Mapster32 keys as tables

Below are the Mapster32 keys as three sortable tables. They are sorted such that the more 'basic' keys are at the top.

The column headers have the following meaning:

key/keys: self-explanatory. Where a key starts with a '+' on a line of its own,
    it means that it should be pressed simultaneously with the first one in the same table row.
type: type of command: info=informational, edit=editing, navi=navigation, disp=display, misc=miscellany
sec, spr,wal: in case of an editing command, whether it potentially acts on sectors, sprites, and/or walls.
adv: whether the command is 'advanced'. This is set somewhat arbitrarily.
new: whether the functionality of the command is new to Mapster32. An e means that it's enhanced from BUILD.
N: a running number. To restore the original order, sort by it.
