What new features would you like for the next NewDark update (Suggestions) - by Cardia

I love your suggestion for new brush shapes. One new shape I could think of would be a cylinder but in a vaulted shape so making vaulted archways like this one:(
http://dromed.whoopdedo.org/dromed/vaulted_arch) http://dromed.whoopdedo.org/dromed/vaulted_arch could be made easier. I'm really curious tbh if new shapes would be possible :idea:

Archways like that are no problem. Just use some overlapping cylinders, and a little clever water/water-->solid/evaporation.
EDIT: I guess I should have read the whole link---apparently they were providing this tutorial. I just saw the image at the top :angel:

I didn't know it was possible to have a cylinder with 24 sides, i thought the maximum was 10, i always made vaulted arches with one cylinder, but that method is more perfect, i can't believe i missed that.

You can have 26 sides on a cylinder (28 sides altogether). Take a look at the modders notes.

It must be something really recent that came up with the last newdark update, and lately i made so many cylinders using the old method of joining 3 cylinders of 10 sides. imagine using the old method with three 26 sides cylinders. Thank you so much Unna and SneakyGuy101 for mentioning this feature. :thumb:

No problem lol it's actually been a feature since the initial 1.19 release of NewDark so you've been missing out :laff:

Well yeah it is really simple but it'd be even better to have a pre-made shape for it rather than having to follow a tutorial every time I want to make a vaulted arch :rolleyes:

I'd like the ability to copy/cut and paste text into the command window instead of having to type it every time.

Now i´ll make sure my next cylinders will be with 26 sides., does this represent a risk for complex view/dromed problems?
Of course it does. :rolleyes:
Using more sides on cylinders will create more complex terrain and more cells, and thus potentially more complexity issues with your missions. Use your newfound superpowers judiciously, i.e. only use as many sides as you absolutely need to get the look you want. I still rarely go over 16 sides (without the old three cylinder trick, just 16 sides) and it looks fine to me in most situations. There's no reason to use the max of 26 in every case just because you can. Sometimes 10 or 12 is fine too.

Thanks Russ, i´ll keep that i mind, that makes me think that i might have avoid problems in previous missions with those cylinders, after all with newdark 1.19 it was more easy to have problems with brush complexity.
