Drag and Drop
|
|
#############
|
|
|
|
Many tasks in OpenMW-CS become noticeably easier and faster by using the drag and
|
|
drop functionality. This article covers the many situations where this works.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Records to Input Fields
|
|
***********************
|
|
|
|
Certain record types in OpenMW-CS have input fields where other records need to
|
|
be assigned. Assignment can be done manually by typing the ID of the record in
|
|
the chosen input field. This can be slow though, and in the spirit of this
|
|
article, a record can simply be dragged into a valid field that accepts its
|
|
type.

|
Object record accepts a Mesh record into one of its input fields.
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind that not all records expose all of their input fields in the
|
|
tables. Some input fields are only visible and accessible in the detailed view of
|
|
a particular instance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Objects to 3D scene
|
|
*******************
|
|
|
|
Records can be dragged from the Objects table into the 3D View to create a new
|
|
instance of that object in the target cell.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Filtering
|
|
*********
|
|
|
|
Using regular expressions to filter table contents is powerful, but can at the same
|
|
time be rather complicated for users not familiar with the syntax. OpenMW-CS thus
|
|
supports drag and drop of records or variables directly into the filters field,
|
|
automatically creating the appropriate filter.
|
|
|
|
Below are just two examples of how easy it is to create filters on-the-fly to
|
|
improve your workflow. Many more uses are possible as the same logic works and
|
|
can be used for filtering across OpenMW-CS.

|
|

|
|
|
|
In Objects table, drag a Record Type field into the filters field and show only
|
|
objects of this particular record type.

|

|
|
|
|
In Instances table, drag a cell ID into the filters field
|
|
and show only instances that match the newly created filter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Creating Topic Infos
|
|
********************
|
|
|
|
Topic Infos can be created by hand, but since a typical game can have hundreds of
|
|
Topic Infos this can become very time-consuming . An alternative, and quite faster
|
|
way, is to drag one or more Topic records into the Topic Infos table. This will
|
|
automatically create relevant Topic Info records, already connected to the
|
|
appropriate Topic.

Land Texture for Terrain Painting
|
|
*********************************
|
|
|
|
Drag and dropping a Land Texture record onto the paint brush button in the 3D
|
|
view will allow painting the terrain with that particular texture.

Drag a Land Texture to the brush widget in the 3D View to paint the terrain with this texture.
