Greetings,
== 3D Mode: Mouse ==
This is a message for the webmaster/admin here at wiki.eduke32.com.


Can I use some of the information from your blog post above if I give a backlink back to this website?
The purpose of mouse in 3D mode is pointing at some objects in a map and looking around ('''F3''' toggles mouse look).


Thanks,
Mouse pointer always points (see info about it at the bottom of the screen) at one of these objects:
Mark
 
# wall
# ceiling of sector
# floor of sector
# sprite
# 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
* Some commands work globally.
 
===Mouse buttons===
 
{| class="wikitable"
| '''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:
 
{| class="wikitable"
| '''RIGHT''' || mouse look
|-
| '''LEFT''' || x: turning<br>y: move forward/back
|-
| '''LEFT+RIGHT''' || x: strafe left/right<br>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:
 
{| class="wikitable"
| '''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.
 
{| class="wikitable"
| '''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.

== 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:
 
# Nothing
# Sector
# Sector and wall
# Sector and sprite
# Wall (wall without sector - map is corrupt)
# 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) modifiers===
 
* ''';''': set difference
* ''' ' ''' (quote character): set union
 
(note that they have to be depressed when '''RSHIFT''' is ''released'')
 
* '''RCTRL''' select only sprites (not walls)
* '''END''' select from all sectors, even grayed out ones
 
==='''RALT''' (select sectors) modifiers===
 
* ''';''': set difference
* ''' ' ''' (quote character): set union
 
(note that they have to be depressed when '''RALT''' is ''released'')
 
* 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
* when holding '''RSHIFT''', will select all sectors, even grayed out ones
 
See the [[#TROR related keys|TROR section]] for '''HOME''' and '''END''' modifiers.
 
* '''WHEEL''' zoom
* '''WHEEL+ALT''' move camera and zoom
* '''LEFT BUTTON''' drag sectors/vertices/sprites
* '''RIGHT BUTTON''' move camera
* '''RIGHT MIDDLE''' move camera
 
* '''LSHIFT'''+'''LMB''' (with RSHIFT-highlighted points) interactively scale highlighted points (+'''CTRL''' forces square aspect)
* '''LSHIFT'''+'''RMB''' (with RSHIFT-highlighted points) interactively rotate highlighted points
 
If '''LSHIFT''' is released before the mouse button, the interactive scaling/rotation is canceled.

==Mapster32 keys as tables (unmaintained and obsolete)==
 
Below are the Mapster32 keys as three sortable tables. They are sorted such that the more 'basic' keys are at the top.<br>
<br>
The column headers have the following meaning:<br>
 
'''key/keys''': self-explanatory. Where a key starts with a '+' on a line of its own,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it means that it should be pressed simultaneously with the first one in the
same table row.<br>
'''type''': type of command: info=informational, edit=editing, navi=navigation,
disp=display, misc=miscellany<br>
'''sec''', '''spr''','''wal''': in case of an editing command, whether it
potentially acts on '''sec'''tors, '''spr'''ites, and/or '''wal'''ls.<br>
'''adv''': whether the command is 'advanced'. This is set somewhat arbitrarily.<br>
'''new''': whether the functionality of the command is new to Mapster32. An '''e''' means that it's enhanced from BUILD.<br>
'''N''': a running number. To restore the original order, sort by it.

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
  • 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

Mouse

LEFT select
CTRL+WHEEL zoom
WHEEL scroll
RIGHT smooth scrolling

. (period): search & fix panning of the wall to the right (, (comma): to the left), has 3 modifiers:

  • +SHIFT: auto-align at most one wall
  • +ALT: (since r4361: don't) copy over texel width in world units (i.e. "how much the wall is stretched")
  • +' (quote): align immediate upper and lower TROR neighbors
SPACE lock to object (same as left mouse button)
PGUP/PGDN+ALT when aiming at red wall, select the floor or ceiling of the nextsector (useful for e.g. raising a lowered door when standing near it), depending on whether the aim is at the top or bottom of the wall
CAPS LOCK cycle zmode
' Z cycle zmode
' L change the coordinates of the current object
' M set the extra of the current object
1 toggle one sided sprite/wall
2 toggle bottom wall swapping
O set top or bottom orientation of wall

Note: CTRL, HOME, END are modifiers so they work with mouse too.

N toggle 'no-autoshade'-bit of sprite
' I toggle sprite invisibility
' D cycle skill level
' X toggle sprite shade and SE light effect preview
' W toggle sprite display by class (no effectors/actors)
' Y toggle purple background
' C copy shade from the clipboard to all objects in the map which are the same tile as the tile of the object that in the clipboard. It works separately for sectors/walls/sprites depending on the current object. For example, if several walls use tile 123, and you darken one of them, copy with tab, and hit ' C, all walls with tile 123 will take on the darker shade (but non-walls with tile 123 will remain unchanged).
' T set lotag

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) modifiers

  • ;: set difference
  • ' (quote character): set union

(note that they have to be depressed when RSHIFT is released)

  • RCTRL select only sprites (not walls)
  • END select from all sectors, even grayed out ones

RALT (select sectors) modifiers

  • ;: set difference
  • ' (quote character): set union

(note that they have to be depressed when RALT is released)

  • 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
  • when holding RSHIFT, will select all sectors, even grayed out ones

See the TROR section for HOME and END modifiers.

  • WHEEL zoom
  • WHEEL+ALT move camera and zoom
  • LEFT BUTTON drag sectors/vertices/sprites
  • RIGHT BUTTON move camera
  • RIGHT MIDDLE move camera
  • LSHIFT+LMB (with RSHIFT-highlighted points) interactively scale highlighted points (+CTRL forces square aspect)
  • LSHIFT+RMB (with RSHIFT-highlighted points) interactively rotate highlighted points

If LSHIFT is released before the mouse button, the interactive scaling/rotation is canceled.

Mapster32 keys as tables (unmaintained and obsolete)

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.
