[New Features]

• entity info window - hovering over an entity in the list will highlight it using a bounding box
• integrated the layer window into the toolbox and made the context menu work on the hide and freeze buttons
• selection-tint will now be applied to selected light entities
• surface inspector: added a 'Use Original Logic' checkbox to toggle between new additive/subtractive - per surface - logic and the original surface inspector logic that uses settings of the first face and applies these onto all other selected surfaces/brushes.

added new createFX functionality

• new kvp fxloop, loop_wait and is_sound
• kvp fxloop 1 lets createFX generation use loopfx instead of createOneshotEffect eg: maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("effect_1", (304.00, -140.00, 104.00), 50);
  with loop_wait specifying the timeout, 50 in this case.
• enable loopsound generation via kvp is_sound 1 & define sound with kvp soundalias name

[Fixes]

• fixed the 'flickering' outlines issue on selected objects that was occurring under certain conditions
• fixed update check (rapidjson related)
• limited amount of toast messages for very frequent error's
• classnames drawn on the grid used a color that was changing when using the windows color dialog (K) -> switched to a different saved color
• unbound default hotkey for the patch inspector (Shift + S)
  OG radiant does not clear the PatchInspector hWnd pointer upon closing the window. The hWnd pointer is boolean checked in multiple functions (like BeginDrag or OnSelect) to run PatchInspector related code. This leads to error messages upon selections until radiant is restarted.

surface inspector:

• texture scalar used for width/size no longer affects texture shifting
• display correct shifting values (as orig. surface inspector) and inc/dec of 1 will no longer shift by a full texture width/height (made it seem like shifting was not working)

[Known Issues]

• active effects / physx objects might look like they “sink” into nearby geometry (based on camera distance)
• effects in the effects browser will be culled based on radiant's camera position (only when BSP-view is active)

mesh painter, effect browser, material reloading, sky preview and more

[New Features]

• Mesh Painter (xmodels/prefabs) with per object settings, random size, angles, weight etc.
• Effect Browser with preview and drag & drop support
• Materials can now be reloaded (individually) without restarting radiant ( texture window context-menu)
• Guizmo can now be toggled between World & Local mode (camera toolbar or menubar > selection)

• Preview sky materials in the texture window
• Ability to create patches instead of brushes when dragging the left mouse button on the grid window (menubar > grid > new-patch-dragging)

[General]

• map snapshots are now enabled by default (first ever use of radiant)
• filter window is now integrated into the toolbox (can be toggled off)
• added a “group” submenu to grid and camera context menus to quickly create, select and destroy brush groups (func_group / brushmodel)
• filedialog: added shortcuts to most used folders
• CreateFX generation now includes fx_origins found within prefabs
• entity properties: added select by kvp (drop-down menu next to kvp)

[d3dbsp]

• added option to disable auto bsp-view after compilation is done
• added option to auto generate CreateFX files after compilation is done (will add files to suitable folders in /raw/)

[Bug Fixes]

• guizmo: fixed various issues (activation / unwanted translations etc.)
• guizmo: gets disabled when holding either alt / ctrl or shift to not interfere with default radiant behaviour
• texture window: using 'show all' or 'all in use' disables favourite list
• model browser: fix preview for models using the flag shader
• effects editor: gui fixes (imgui ID collisions)
• fixed numpad enter key getting stuck
• disabled ability to compile bsp when inside a prefab
• preferences: clamp fov range to prevent values above 180 or below 0

hotfix - effects editor update

the function effects::fx_origin_frame was accessing edit_entity each frame. This is unsave because it can point to junk memory when transitioning into and out of prefabs.
