Ideas for DWARF, Plans for next release, options, tools, Options

[joshpurple]

I hope to add some ideas, tools, etc. to the AWESOME DWARF world editor.
Any and all are welcome to throw thoughts in.


First, AWESOME and THANK YOU PW Team for getting this done. I'm DIGGING it. It is a blast to create levels in DWARF -especially knowing you guys made this! That so ROCKS!

1. Can gifs work as materials/textures? I will test this,
but most times where a jpg will fit, a gif will go as well.
Which would mean animated gifs for textures, YES!

2. Can/do the materials and textures support alpha channels?
Having animated gifs, with alpha channels, can allow for some
very cool affects.

3. Can object be 'locked' in place. Just like
'Freezing' an object so transforms don't affect it,
avoid selecting it.

4. Is there a way to select through the 'bounding
box' of the object. Example: I add a tree, behind
that tree is a rock, or near that tree. If I try to
select that rock, sometimes ( I believe most times)
when I try to select the rock, the tree will be selected
instead. So I will move the tree to get at the rock.
Not that big a deal, -maybe freezing objects will
solve that issue, otherwise my work flow is
add small to big ( so I don't have to move the
big objects out of the way).

O.k., I'll add more soon

(Thank you!!)
