TGBX suggestion, multiple scene windows

by Will O-Reagan · in Torque X 2D · 05/06/2007 (2:19 pm) · 4 replies

Would be an awesome addition. With it of course, the ability to cut and past between scenes, and drag and drop objects between scenes.

Already submitted this one, but it does deserve to be resubmitted as it would be a big plus!

I agree this would be of great use. Also, the ability to have more than one project open at the same time, not just scenes.

Right now, you can open a scene, select objects in the editor, copy them. Then open another scene and paste them and they will paste to their original location.

I just want to know - is this being givin consideration for the next build, either closed beta, or 2.0 T2D/1.0 T3D?

TGBX appears to take 100% CPU Usage, and also load all project textures into memory at once. These have caused several problems with large levels; levels cannot be run from TGBX, we have to use GSE to run the game instead).

TGBX *appears* to use graphics card memory as storage, according to some of our trials with 2 identical machines except for graphics card memory (256Mb vs 512Mb) - TGBX on the lower-spec graphics card wouldn't run our game, but the higher-spec graphics card would.

So providing these issues were fixed - I agree =)
