Couple of requests:
"Do not change textures" checkbox under Edit. Sometimes I want to change a block, but want to leave the textures alone.
Some way to copy a block from Info into Edit, so that I don't have to remember the rotations, textures, etc. Ideally a right click on the block when in Info Tab, and an option to "Copy to Edit", then when I go to Edit, the block is there with all of the features. It would make changing densities so much easier.
(F)ile,(S)ave menu!
Tab going to the next field (I can understand not doing this yet if you're planning on more buttons)
Remembering the directory I loaded and/or saved the last file from/into.
A button to "Set All Faces" in the texture section, so that I can select a texture and have it set all faces, instead of having to do them one by one.
A way to search for Textures.

You just damage yourself not using the editor. ;pMy project is done, so i don't think i'll be around for .4, as i'll be playing the game now
@Guppycur
As soon as electricity is implemented and debugged I will dare a new attempt of bug fixing. That's quite difficult without having a reproducible crash though... It's an alpha btw.
What's the difference to using the middle mouse button to copy the data to edit?
Yep, 'File' should have a shortcut but you don't have to open to main menu to use the shortcut for 'Save' (control + shift + S).
Seems to be a bug. It should remember the last directory.
Soon.

That's exactly what the middle mouse button does.^^ I just tested 3 different mouses but wasn't able to reproduce your problem. It's a hard coded shortcut for the block picker tool that works with all modes/tools so I don't think that you've missed something. I don't have a clue what's going on.
Just to be sure: Move the cursor over a block you wanna copy to edit and press the middle mouse button.
@all
Does anyone else have this problem?

So, I'm on v3.0n. I can't even get the block picker tool to work, so I assume that's my issue.
Oh, and as an aside, middle mouse button is a horrible choice because it's also on a wheel, and my wheel likes to move. Had that issue with Hal's for some mapping he was using too. A right click/context menu would be better IMO.

I downloaded the bcm and upload the BCManager to my dedi. I"m guessing I just need a restart and it should work.

Yeah. Seems my chunk reload code does like something with other people at a certain distance. If you get errors Tele away and back and it should be there. I'm changing some stuff to hopefully improve that.
@pille, a flip (mirror) prefab would be handy. Needed that today trying to fix up guppies apartments which didn't fare well in the conversion

You simply enter a savegame folder and the prefab coordinates. Then the editor will modify or read the power.dat file and change the wiring + device 'equipping' (e.g., ammo, engine, solar cells) of all electrical devices located inside the prefab volume. Stuff outside of the prefab will be ignored. All electricity data are stored in relative coordinates in the prefabname.pille file. So you can use the same data for different savegames...Yeh then type help and see the new options. It's complicated. Anyway, back to this editor.
Pille, so let's talk wires. How are you carrying over wires into the actual game? What's your plan?
Rotate prefab is already implemented. Mirroring not.
@Hal
Lol. So who the trademark owner.
@StompyNZ
I assume you're talking about horizontal flipping. Yep, it's planed. Soon™.^^
@Laz Man
Thanks. Must be related to the mouse driver I guess. Perhaps I can fix it.

Of course not^^ but it should fix the block picker bug. Remove rows/columns works very often anyway and since it's a non-reproducible bug, it shouldn't be a deal breaker. That's why the bug isn't fixed yet.
Just reload your prefab after the crash and try it again.
Edit:
If everything goes well the electricity update will be shipped next week and then I do have time to fix this crappy function.

Overlooked this part, sorry.
