| Summary | 0006621: 'Create Decal Patches' should always use current shader on ShaderClipboard | ||||
| Description | When you select a brush face and create a decal patch, sometimes the patch is created with the _default material applied (i.e. the 'shader not found' material). It would seem to make sense to always create the patch using whatever is on the shader clipboard instead. I think this happens when the material on the shader clipboard isn't a decal (i.e. doesn't contain DECAL_MACRO or other decal keywords). If the material is a decal (e.g. grime corners) then it works fine. Two use cases for enabling this: - When creating a lot of patches for rain splashes (which aren't decals) because you have to find, select and apply the material every time you create the patch which gets tedious pretty quickly. - It sometimes faster and easier to create non-decal patches using this method then from brushes, so why not let it work with any material? | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Load any map 2. Load a non-decal material onto your shader clipboard by using the 'Pick Shader' tool (for example, rain_splash_moderate) 3. Select a brush face and select Brush -> Create Decal Patches from the menu. 4. Observe the patch is created using the _default material instead of what's on your shader clipboard. | ||||
