Thats what I figure but i only get hardness and weight, and even those dont do anything. I also cant change weather like I notice people have in their screen shots. Am i missing something?
In the bottom, you see three slidebars and a black window..

Ok, I know what youre talking about now... Problem... the Edit panel is too big so I cant see the bottom of it. Im looking to see if theres a way to resize it. Any suggestions?

If you change your screen resolution you will see it.

Holy shit. You know how some of the scene props (like stairs) are annoying because they face a certain direction and you can rotate them around, but can't flip them?

You totally can:
(click to show/hide)

If you set one of the scales to a negative number, it flips the model. The textures will be inside-out, but once you save and reload the map it'll look right again.

If you already knew about this, I hate you for not having posted it somewhere more obvious.

That is incredibly useful thanks for the info! I Can't believe I didn't try this.

yesterday night i was sure i was reading here some short tutorial from Kong Ming about scene editing, did it disappear? i can't find it anymore... :o(

ah got it here, sry: http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,1385.0.html

aye with this it seems easy, however my 1200x800 maximum lcd resolution somehow doesn't enable me to see the whole edit panel, so i'm screwed.

i know that, but the problem is my screen resolution is 1200/800 and 800 is not enough to see the whole panel :o|
well ok, i plugged my older LCD to my laptop so the problem is solved, however only on my laptop without additional screen i will never be able to make maps.

In that case if you can see the top of the edit bar at all you can always move it into view by click and drag

yeah I have the same problem with the editor panel too. I make my maps on a laptop, my res is all the way up. hmmm... For dragging can i actually drap the panel beyond the screen? Ive tried but with no avail. Anyways the map I needed to paint for is another siege map... Barely started it since im reworking my first... I wanted to make a map that looks like some real evil people lived in it. With a corpse trench in front and a draw bridge going over it. I just needed to make it look like they met a bloody end. :P But if nothing else i can pass my map on to someone else, right? And have them do the final touchs... I wouldnt mind doing a bit of coop mapping.

Is there a limit on how much brush you can put in a map? I dont know if its a glitch or what, but Ive put quite a bit of brush in my map... When in editor I can see it. When Im not in edit mode its gone. Its annoying...

Well there is a limit on how much brush you can put into a map. I have no forums to prove this. But I have two maps that I put a lot of brush into. Every kind of brush... When I am in editor I can see every piece I put down but when Im not most of the brush is gone. Thats sad... I have two almost finished maps that I have to now redefine completely: Battle Creek and Homestead. I cant have either so thick with brush. So those of you who want to add a whole lot of brush, dont. Youll just end up disapointed like me.... :(

Yeah I had that problem too a couple months ago with the laptop.
I hooked it up to a cheap desktop screen and that fixed the problem.
Other than that there's no real way to fix it, because reducing screen resolution doesn't help.
