GZDoom Builder 2.3

[camaxide]

not a bug, just I didn't really enjoy the new texture editor as much. I have to toggle between used only textures or all textures - before I had top used textures and bottom all, with no need to switch. and now is a white boarder around the textures.
Probably just me not used to the look - but why can't I have used and all combined like before? or is there a setting in the options somewhere I dont find?

[Mechadon]

Yea, I'd like to echo camaxide's sentiments on the texture browser changes. Mostly the fact that you have to toggle showing only used textures now, instead of them being at the top of the list like before. If there's a way to revert back to the old behavior as an option, that'd be nice.

[camaxide]

Myself I reverted back to the previous version for now, to have the texture browser the way it used to. I guess the idea with the new one is the ability to see textures based on folders if they are placed in folders in the pk3/wad.
But the look of the browser, and the functionality of it was really good as it were before - it could be as it was, and still support folders

Is there a way to change which browser GZDB will use to open quick-help wiki links? It uses IE and that's buggin' me. I don't have that as the default browser set.

[MaxED]

You do have that as default browser set.
GZDB gets the default browser from "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command\" registry value.

Fixed it the regedit way. Dunno why it's default though. Eh, Windows...

I owe you one, pal!

[Ryan Cordell]

My only complaint with the new version is that 'Used textures only' is automatically checked whenever I'm browsing for textures and I can't seem to find any way to disable that. Driving me rather batty, it is.

[MaxED]

Fixed. Also the implementation of showing used/all textures is now different.

[Mechadon]

Thanks MaxEd, I like the checkbox to keep used textures at the top

1. Is it just me or the old texture selection window could fit more textures in it?
2. How do I see all textures and flats from doom2.wad with the following window? http://i.imgur.com/LJqiYrZ.png
That's pretty generic requirement for ZDoom workflow where textures vs flats doesn't really matter...
3. Any chance to have no outlines for textures and texture names centered?
4. Filter is no longer a real text field. This means it's not possible to do ctrl-backspace to write a completely new name anymore. Please either make ctrl-backspace clear the field or make it a real text field again.
5. I have this flat shown to me.

Why does GZDB have the Skype syndrome? Nothing to change — change the UI then! And no options.

I have to agree with some others, the new texture explorer is nice, but I think the old functionality was plain perfect.

The only thing I see as an improvement (excluding the UI) is the folder explorer, although personally, I think I would disable that feature if I could because I don't see how it could help me, it even takes space away for textures.

Got an unrelated feature suggestion: a fractional-unit grid for UDMF.

Backstory: I'm in a spot where I'm getting nodebuilder precision issues in a map and need to quantize a mass amount of vertices somehow. The "Snap Selected Elements to Grid" feature is exactly what I need, but 1 unit is still a bit too granular for most areas. Being able to snap vertices to 1/2 or 1/4 of a unit would probably save my bacon here.

[BTW, since I haven't posted here for a while, just wanted to say that the latest versions' enhanced sector splitting stuff is mighty cool. Takes a bit of getting used to, but being able to drag A over B and have A still be intact is hella useful. Props n' whatnot.]

[Double-BTW: I quite like the new texture browser. Folks iffy about it ought to try using long texture names sometime. ]

SLADE can decrease map grid to 0.5, 0.25, 0.10, or 0.5.

Well I understand that this is sometimes useful. Key word is "sometimes". And even then, completely different texture browser should be done for long texture names (something like tree view with small thumbnails (64x64 or so) with also large texture preview window to the left).

But pls at least implement a large checkbox called USE THE OLD TEXTURE BROWSER DESIGN. Which would reset texture tile sizes to 80x80, remove these dumb borders and put texture names to center. And return the "all-all-all textures in the wad" view. And fix the filtering. Because right now classic mapping is kinda broken a bit. A little tiny bit.

1. DIY.
