What kind of improvements would you like to see in the Editor?

I'm asking for all kinds of things (that are not already on the roadmap), from complex things to simple stuff, like some interface improvements.

From a while ago: http://www.esenthel.com/community/showth...p?tid=2728

I'm working on it right now !

I would like to see a "jump to object" in the object browser

you mean "object list" ? that was added in the last release (double click on the element)

early screen

Looks really good!
It would be nice to have axes of rotation

Maybe some options what I want to be imported (materials, skeletons). Sometimes I import some models and unnecessery material files is created so I have to delete them. And I prefer creating materials from scratch in model editor.

And someone wrote here a topic about editors look. There was a screen how it can look. Without windows for brush object lists etc. but with bars on the left or right with tabs. Now editor looks for me like GIMP (everything is on sigle window) and its sometimes inconvenient.

Window to set/get position of model.

Also from the same thread mentioned by llynx:

Also some way to add triggers/events in the World editor that would execute certain events in a triggers class. This would be extremely helpful for creating portals etc in the world editor and a whole lot more.

in world editor, object mode, just click on the "position" button (Z keyboard button)

So basically you want "world editors/menu/camera unlock" also in Model Editor?
ok

yeah, I am thinking of adding optional buttons/ribbons.
triggers/events are also planned

Uhh... sure! Actually, I never knew that's what "Camera Unlock" was for. I've tried it before, but I always use a single viewport (because I didn't like how multiple viewports worked before "Camera Unlock" existed) so I never saw any difference and turned it off right away.

However, I can see that being handy in Model Editor, so yes!

Also, would be nice if "Camera Reset" and "Camera Axis Align" worked when camera is unlocked though.

Oh, and the new "Camera Orientation" option is pretty awesome! Good job on that.

EEDevTools includes an event system with its own editor for assigning events to actors in your world. Needs to be updated to work with the latest version of the engine, however. Haven't gotten around to doing that yet.

Yes, I'm aware of it, it would be a lot easier if that was incorperated into the Editor though. I like doing everything together, opening a new program to do everything I want would take a long time. With Maya and EEE (Esenthel Engine Editor) running as well as Paint.Net, OpenOffice Calc and a few other things it just becomes a hassle after a while.
