GZDoom Builder 2.3

Is it possible to make vertex height gradient?

While MaxED weighs the feasability of such implemantattion you could apply progressively small height differences with the randomizer.

Can we have a bigger grid size? 1024 not big enough. I wanna make some huge and totally unrecommended stuff and 1024 grid is still too small when zoomed out. It's nothing too important to have, but why not? For the hell of it.

[MaxED]

Protip: custom grid size is a thing.

[Accensus]

Ahh, yea, forgot you could use that. Thanks for the reminder! Can we have longer render distance, then? Pretty sure some PCs can handle more than 9K mp.

You can set viewdistance= in GZBuilder.cfg to a larger value.
Although it will not be permanent, on saving a map it will reset to 9000.

It happened directly after entering Visual Mode after closing Doom 64 EX in the background.

I should note the map I was playing in Doom 64 EX seems to cause some kind of weird audio crackling problem that basically messes up sounds. Bringing up the menu in EX and going back in right away fixes it temporarily, but then it comes back later at random and will go away on its own at random. I narrowed this down the specific music lump that the map uses. The MIDI will occasionally lower the volume of the game somehow and cause horrific crackling. Tested in EX and GZDoom, the same MIDI lump causes it in both engines. Disabling music fixes this particular problem, so this one is a problem with the MIDI itself I suppose.

I'm not sure if this was ask yet so sorry if it was but can you add a easier way of making sliding doors like doom 64?

[ZZYZX]

Making doors is not core DB functionality. Use prefabs. If prefabs can't be used like this, perhaps request extending prefabs? But not making doors.

Where can i get prefabs?

Where can i get prefabs?

Some time ago somebody wanted to create a prefab database, but it got nowhere.

Essentially you create whatever you want to be repeatable and save it as a prefab



A search brought up this old thread http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=48018 which has some words of wisdom.

Hey Max,

There is a pretty bad performance issue with loading maps that use high def skybox textures (e.g. 2048x2048 pngs).

This is caused by stuffing the bitmap pixel data in over a nested loop~

I have attached a patch that uses a pointer copy instead which speeds things up.

Side note: you should consider honoring the 'Render Sky' setting before pre-loading these when loading a map.

I would just like to say that I really like the new look of the script editor in the latest GZDoom Builder. I love how it allows you to edit scripts of all types in various ranges. This saves me a lot of trips to SLADE.

Thanks for your hard work and dedication.

Want to comment something.

I was out some time and now that I updated gzdb to the last release (2760) I noticed (apart from the new changes) that the acs execute actions (80 or 226) doesn't show me the script that is executing, look this:

It's like if I were selecting multiple actions with different scripts, but no, there's only one linedef selected and doesn't want to show me the script.


Unrelated to that, here's a crash report when I was reloading the resources, somewhat it crashed:

Reading the file seems it has something to do with the renderer. Strange.

Fixed.

I've added some boilerplate to the relevant part of the code. Not sure if it fixes the issue though...

[Golem09]

got an error as soon as I exited visual mode. I'll list all the system info and error dumps below as URLS
