Wait, I didn't get a chance to vote!

Well, I guess it's moot because I, too, don't use it and wish to see it canned for something new and probably better.

The Canadian Military must be pretty intellectual with their members able to write poetry.

take out that thing, rip it to pieces and throw it to the nearest khezu. It takes me LONGER to load it then to test the level out, and you have to wait for it to load to quit

Lee, I was just thinking as a fellow programmer, since you originally created this and probably thought at the time what a great idea it was --- I hope you don't take all of this too personally.

I just saw this thread, or I would have piped in sooner.
I never use it. (I use the Test Level button next to it)
So, you have my blessing as well.
You also have my thanks for asking us about this instead of just changing it with no warning.

You're the best Lee!

I just wanted to ask (since we're slightly on the topic) if it would be possible to add a keyboard shortcut to the TestGame button? Something like F5, maybe? I personally find keyboard shortcuts to be faster than moving the mouse up there and clicking. It's not a big deal, but it'd be one of those little niceities.

Oh.... right.... the preview button. I can't say i've ever accidentally used it. I looked at it once or twice, and find the preview to be awfully unindulging about what the level truly looks like in-game. I'll join the others and say "You are the weakest button. Goodbye!!"

I would say get rid of it. I never use it because:

1. It's too laggy. PC's with only about 1gb of RAM can barely run it.

2. It crashes the program. 4 times out of 5 it crashes.

3. It's just one button I don't need on the toolbar.

Temporarly away from the Phoenix Sentry.

I think you must of missed read or something, 000webhost performs checks every now and then to make sure sites used under them do not contain malicious content.

other words, They were checking my site and now knows that it contains no such content currently.

anyways I hope you enjoyed the short flash.

I am confused by the FLASH, because that looks like the Death of the Test Level button, the Quick Level Preview is the one on the far right that you show staying up.
The button you show dropping is the one I use and want to keep. (no sarcasm)

I only use it by accident, if I want a quick preview I use a character entity in the editor and right click and walk around.

Howdy! Merry Christmas!

My Opinion - I Vote To change fpsc that preview button remove!

When I clicked it,It's very slow And not useful.
I think rather that It's Full Light And control move to anywhere with first person vie than current feature.(I think it does use Universe_Camera subroutine in FPSC Source Code. Why that doesn't use?)

If it could more,I think that MapEditor can make static object and edit shape for map like sandbox editor or 3dmax.
Of Course,Support Terrain.

In My Last Opinion,FPSC MapEditor must change for future.
Thank you~

I think he means repositioning it when in the properties view. Since it's a character entity, it would be almost like it's "walking around".

I hereby vote the preview button off the island. Unless, of course, it can complete a 7-part obstacle course involving becoming a useful button. That part's around part 5.

(Note- I hate reality TV)

Make it better by putting it all in one whatever.

I'm curious to see what this new feature is (terrain perhaps, jk but it'd be nice.)

Give it the boot, I've only used it once or twice. It's useful for checking the heights of objects, but you can do that by right-clicking.
