Ok its after messing up for me anything that is func_group turns to black and I can't see them as I use black/green also it doesnt seem to even group brushes or patches together anymore. I have this problem with 1.4.0.
Does anyone know how to fix it?:(

Or change the color of func_groups. I think that's in the misc->colors menu.

You can change the color of func_group by editing a sp_entities.def AND mp_entities files in your base/scripts folder. Just search in both files for func_group. You should get an entry somewhat similar to mine below:

/*QUAKED func_group (0.8 0.8 0.8)

But you have something else in the brackets (like 0 0 0) which will give you black color for func_groups, thus rendering them invisible in green/black color scheme. Change the values to those above and you'll get nice color for func_groups.

FIRST MAKE A BACK-UP OF THE FILES BEFORE MESSING WITH THEM!

Well, it works for me, so it must work for you, because it's the same program. Did you change the color in both sp_entities.def and mp_entities.def?

Change the parametres while Radiant is not running, and then try Radiant. If it doesn't seem to work, check the files again.

One thing to remember is that if you want to select the whole func_entity, let it be func_group or whatever, you must hold down shift+alt. Just holding shift down will only select one brush of the groupped entity at a time. Although you can change this behavior in settings, it's pretty handy after you become used to it.

Thanks for the help lassev I've got the color to work now and selecting but how do I switch it so that I only have to use shift to select all of the group instead of atl+shift?

Go to the edit/preferences menu. Over there go to Display/3D View. You'll see a text "Use paint-select in camera view" and next to it a dropdown menu. It's now saying for you "Yes". Change it to Yes (Classic). Or something like that anyway.

That should do the trick immediately after you press OK.
