NetRadiant
==========

There is no way around it, lets just jump in and start with netradaint.

### This is Netradaint

-   Windows users, yours will be much uglier but should still have the same layout.
-   For linux users the look depends on the theme you chose. ![]() NOTE ![]() using a global (mac style) title bar may not work. consider yourself warned (unity users) ![]()
-   Mac ... I have no idea...

### The 4 panes

Now, Netradaint has 4 main pains
\# First there is the main top-down view. It will show the map's blueprint.
\# Second there is the 3d view. It will show a realtime 3d preview of the map. However, it wont render lights, or any special effects.
\# Third there is the texture pane. It should show a list of textures on the left side (if empty refer to previous page). It also should have a title bar on the top (for linux users who don't see one refer to second bullet point above.)
\# Finally at the bottom of the window is the console pane. All sorts of information will be piped through this pane.

note :: all of the panes can be resized by dragging on their borders. If you have issues with the current layout, it can always be changed by going to *edit-\> prefrences*

### Navigational Controls

Basic controls for the blueprint window involve
\* scroll wheel to zoom (shift rightclick also works)
\* hold rightclick will move around the scene
\* pressing number keys 1-9 will change the grid size (0 will hide/show the grid)

Basic controls for 3d view (although we havn't put anything in it yet, so its kinda boring)
\* scroll wheel is zoom (ctrl + shift + rightclick also works)
\* rightclick triggers look mode
\* while in look mode move the mouse to look around and the mousewheel to fly around the 3d scene
