Summary	0006048: Material Editor: allow to change preview background
Description	As far as I can see, there's no way to change the background material used in the preview scene. Mappers might like to change this in order to thematically better match what they're working on (would also be suitable for being remembered from the previous session - 0006045). It's possible mappers might choose the same background as the material they're working on. So maybe the background should be updated, too, whenever a change is made to its material.
Tags	No tags attached.

greebo 31.07.2022 15:48 administrator ~0015101	The only way to change the material used in the preview "room" can be changed by editing the doom3.game or darkmod.game files: <materialPreview> <defaultRoomMaterial value="textures/darkmod/stone/brick/blocks_brown" /> <defaultLightDef value="light_torchflame" /> </materialPreview> I assume you're hoping for an option to pick the material in the UI itself?

Dragofer 31.07.2022 16:08 developer ~0015103	Yeah, I think picking the material from the UI would be best since it's a straightforward way to get a better idea of what the material will look like in the intended environment. Maybe the "Light Properties" tab could be renamed to "Preview Scene Properties" and expanded with a background material choice.

Dragofer 21.08.2022 20:08 developer ~0015198	Confirmed fixed in 3.1, but I noticed that the material shader field is still called "classname". Kind of too trivial to open a new ticket just for this. Untitled.png (48,123 bytes) Untitled.png (48,123 bytes)
