Mod: Spark Editor - Browser (Models / Textures) - Improvement - Download (v2013-Nov-16)
After 60+ hours it´s done...

The Mod replaces the preview images of the Spark Editor Browser (Texture / Model).
Example: without Mod
Example: with Mod
Installation:
1. DOWNLOAD
2. extract
3. click on "install.bat"
Feel free to give suggestions on the color scheme.
When is a new version necessary ?
When UWE releases new game assets i need to release a new version, which includes them.
Otherwise you see only a black background without any words on a texture / model in the Browser.

Changes:
- texture browser:
- title of the texture is displayed
- added little grey border (to see the eye dropper more clearly)
- model browser:
- title of the model is displayed
- high quality preview images (almost 80% (2835 of 3544) of the preview images have been manually recreated)
- images have a high texture quality (no low rendered preview images)
- view angle is fine (no more "bad" preview image angle, where you sometimes cant see anything on the preview images)
- notices:
- sometimes 1 model is displayed 3 times on a single preview image (to see the height-width-deep at the same time)
- walls are displayed "in front" of you (to see the details)
- special inidicator:
- group coloring (switching background colors white+grey to visualize groups of the same models)
- green keywords in the lower left corner (corner / crn / curve / 90 / 45, pillars / pill, trims, end, up, down, high, low, str, ...)
- red keywords in the lower right corner (dmg, damaged, destroyed, broken, empty)
Comments
Overall nice work man
You mean a little bit darker background and not completly white ? (would be better in the image background)
If yes, just post the color (or the RGB-Values) you would like to see and i will change it.
Im sure you'd rather be working on the other features than the colour haha.
Its nice work, thank you.
Is this better ? I am not sure about the text color, its just black.
It looks really better, thx for the advice.
See the first post for the "new" download.
Are you going to update this, now that biodome is released?
i was to lazy to create a small image of each prop with the spark viewer to bypass this...
so i am just waiting right now.
2. unzip it
3. double click on: install.bat
...and you are finished!
Spark Editor - Browser: current
Spark Editor - Browser: with Mod
variation a) "original" (background: black + titles: no)
If you have any suggestions on "variation b)"... just say something.
i am not sure about the background color.
