Hey ya'll, long time wings user, first time poster.
I've been using wings since around 2008-2009. I preferred using the older versions because I really dislike the new UI, but now I have to upgrade to use some of the new features in my modeling.
Is there any way, any way at all I can use the old control settings in the new wings? Please help!
What new UI you are talking about?
A "new UI" should be released only with the next Wings3d version.
That's what I wondered Micheus ... what aspect of new UI is being complained about ?
Mostly the UI has been fairly consistent for a very long time.
A bit more specificity would help here. Are we talking about toolbar icons ?
I was asking RingLeader for specificity. Not you Micheus.

Next time let this clear!
Answer removed.
What I mean is, the differences between the older versions like 1.2-1.3 and the newer 1.4. For instance pressing spacebar in the new version switches from object to face selection.
There are a few other things, like when you right click on the screen there's a bar above the usual 'move, rotate, etc.' options. it messes with my flow.
Ringleader,
Under Edit > Preferences > General Tab > Enable "Conditional Deselection". This may not give you exactly what it used to be but it works good once you get used to it. Spacebar once clears the selection but remembers the selection mode. Spacebar twice switches back to multi-selection mode so you can choose either faces, edges, or verts. No object selection but you can always hit hotkey B for object mode. How often do you select objects when modeling? Maybe more than I do???
Under Edit > Preferences > User Interface Tab > Disable "Show Menu Toolbar" under "Menu Toolbar". This will get rid of the bar on the RMB Menus.
Hope that helps some...

Thanks, that worked!
Another thing is that click and drag physically drags faces/points/edges, instead of highlighting multiple faces like it used to. How do you switch it back to the old way?
Glad that helped... To "paint select" > Double click and hold LMB to start highlighting multiple faces.

... or disable the
Tweak mode, since it seems you have activated it accidentally. Hold
CTRL key and hit
RMB to access the
Tweak menu, then select
Disable Tweak.
