Changes / Options - uu4clinton 2.0

install panel install panel2
  • Reset Toolbars - option to turn off for fast testing - do not uncheck this
  • Clean LE Shortcuts - remove le shortcuts ArrangePanels|IconizePanels|MinimizePanels|ExpandPanels - too easy to wreck node layout
  • Default context and Background - removes unselect widget gesture
  • Clean Obj Nav Widget - remove prefs panel, mesh origin panel, mouse settings, ldrag on sphere
    remove custom colors on some arcs - extra material node
    fix Active color for some widgets - set back to yellow
  • Clean PE Widget - remove PEW Preferences, remove mouse settings
    remove pivot snap - too complex and little feedback, keep simple snap option - looks like was removed from uu so only adds simple snap
    remove custom colors on some arcs - extra material node, fix Active color for some widgets - set back to yellow
  • Change Defaults - enable default options detailed below found in the Defaults panel
    • Change Defaults - make changes based on options chosen, uncheck will not change any of them
    • ChangeEncaps - 2d unencapsulation will not ask every time, option to use the original 2d encapsulation, dialog if le active so can name and not jump (original tS behavior)
    • ChangeLookAt - swap lookat and lookat with zoom to match original tS, mmb dbl = look at(tS default) ctrl and shift will look at and zoom selection / all
    • ChangeParentIcons - replace parent and unparent icons - personal preference, P+ icon implies adding to existing parent relationship, P- icon is ok because it does remove from existing, was just easier to replace both icons
    • DoNotProtectSystemObjects - custom preference - delete protect system objects turn off, I don't need the protection
    • ChangeMeshEditSettings - mesh editor pe selection mode to vertex and style to select through - note: save button exists but no direct set of selection mode on the panel
    • Allow Camera Zoom To - allow zoom to from camera view by default
    • Make Changes Permanent - when unchecked most changes can be reverted by reset default context
  • CopyOriginalTiffLoader - the original tiff loader is not limited to a single instance - rename UU tiff loader and copy original
  • CopyBlankDX - the original blank dx material and a less shiny version of it
  • Revert Rectangle Zoom - rmb exists the tool, clear buttom rclickcommand
  • FixCamera - default original - set the enhanced original camera as the default camera, also turns on object style nav widget
  • SpotNavDefaultOn - spot includes the object style nav by default, option not needed if object/light view nav is installed
  • ReplaceRBM- add original red button and color save and restore to red
  • Make Changes Permanent - when unchecked most changes can be reverted by reset default context

    TODO: alter rsx to load as system style plugins (maybe)
  • remove spotlight reset angle
  • remove extra toolbars(not used in any layout) and save all removed toolbars to user library
  • remove extra layouts / replace toolbars in extra layouts
  • statistics - UU restriction on rotation and shear reset buttons - so add to batch installs
  • Light view will need replacing - uu differences too much
  • note: toolbar manager and shortcut runner have a bug fix in uu version
  • Clean Toolbars - deactivated, toolbars update via toolbar manager, save unused to library and remove them
    TODO update to remove entire toolbars after save to user library?

Batch Installs

The batch installer fills in some other personal preferences:

  • Deformers don't have the new control widgets
  • UU NURBS has clearhistory commands, toolbar changes and other smaller changes and the freeze patches clear history is justified
  • PopupsAutoload.RsObj - minimal install of only toolbar button? -
  • UU4Clinton has a base Show Object Attribs button, but this is also included in the non-UU popup toolbars
  • maybe add unreal engine navigation mod
  • le shortcuts that arrange and minimize messed up my workflow - fixed in upcoming 2.0 script

Note: found correct terminology in the tS manual - "compound objects" have orange triangle and internal nodes, "base objects" do not have triangle or child nodes.
This is relavant to my use of the terms "compiled" and "node" based materials.
