I've been able to complete a couple of important enhancements to CaWE during
the last week. Most importantly:
- Live preview of Ca3DE terrains in the CaWE 3D view. These terrains are
a special feature of Ca3DE and can be very large.
The new 3D preview is a great editing help for mappers to integrate the
terrains with the regular, brush-based geometry of a map.
- "Tool Options" bars. These bars adapt to the currently active tool, and
offer a great method to specify the details for the current task that the
user wants to complete. The screenshot shows the Tool Options bar for the
"New Entity" tool. It has the same light green background as the current
tool, so that it is easy to identify and it's purpose is immediately clear.
- Rearranged and much cleaned-up the user interface. Thanks to the Tool
Options bars, there is now much more space for the actual work area, and
the arrangement of GUI elements is more intuitive and logical now.
The updates and new features will be included with the next maintenance
release, which is scheduled to appear soon.
