There's a dead page now at (http://www.ttlg.com/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=MissionDesignVisual) MissionDesignVisual - I changed it to MissionDesignEnvironmental as it's a much better description. The contents have been moved and links updated, so I'd appreciate it if a mod could delete the old one - cheers.

Where may I find information about how to manipulate the views? I've messed about with the mouse and find it non-intuitive (for me, I admit), and a lot of bumbling effort to get the cameras where I want them. I remember mentions of pressing keys (Shift?) for more options....

Somehow, just moving the virtual camera around, and clicking on the view I want to change, leads to crashes.

This should be basic, getting started information in the Wiki: What the mouse and buttons can do, what the keys can do, etc. Is there a list somewhere? Like a quick reference?

I'd like to avoid the presumption that if one is running the T3Ed app., he/she wants to build a mission, and is fluent in the jargon. Heck, I can't even pick the correct key words for a search to get me in the ballpark. As some of you know I am working on an Encyc. of the Thief Universe, which includes making maps directly from the overhead views. The maps of the Training mission and the Rumfords' mansion are nearly finished, and Bafford's is halfway there. Gliding around in the 3D view helps me determine which 2D lines are rendered visible, invisible, above, or below, etc. Any ways to speed up the process are very much appreciated! I'd also like to be able to take composed screenshots of objects, as well as iconic architecture, and being able to position the camera where I want it will facilitate much of this.

Thanks!

Pssst! Happy Birthday, scumble....

Thanks. I'll see if I can get the hang of it. No wonder it doesn't come up in a search, it has to be downloaded.:D If I could get a similar movement to circle-strafing, I'll be set.

Those images might have to do if I can't make maps closer to this:

From T3Ed overhead views similar to this:

Ok,
I've upgraded MediaWiki to the latest version, which now allows us to force email addresses to be verified before they can edit the Wiki, so that's been turned on.

I've made myself an Administrator, cleaned up all the crap that I could find and set it so that I receive an email every time a change is made to the Wiki so that I can keep a really close eye on it. I've also changed it so that the email address the emails come from is now [noparse]fleshworks@ttlg.com[/noparse] rather than from scumble's email address.
