User's Guide ‐ Favourite Materials

Source Level Editor 2.104

Overview

The Favourite Materials browser is a user-controlled preset of frequently used materials.
Commonly used materials like skybox, nodraw, hint/skip, player and NPC clips, dev textures, can be put in a list (specific to the chosen game/mod) and appear on the right side of the main Material Browser. From there, they can be fetched quickly when mapping.

The Favourites list is visible on the right.

The Favourites list can be managed in two ways.

1. When using the Material Browser, select a texture you wish to add to the list, then press +Favs button at the bottom right. This will add the selected material to the Favourites list, which is saved in the game config. You'll need to re-open the browser to see the Favourites mini-browser updated.
   To remove a material from the list, select it in the Favourites list (not the main browser), and press -Favs. Again, you'll need to re-open the browser to see the change.

   

   
   To save the changes, either open Options and press OK, or close the editor.

2. Alternatively, open the Options->Materials tab. There you can manage the list directly; see the user's guide section on that tab.

If you do not wish to use the Favourite Materials and do not want the mini-browser to appear, simply keep the Favourites list empty.
