GZDoom Builder 2.3
Re: GZDoom Builder 1.14
Hmm...It's only me or "Check unknown flats" and "Check unknown textures" don't affect transparent textures? Ladders, grates etc.
Re: GZDoom Builder 1.14
Also check the manual - there are additional features like rounded corners for "Draw rectangle" and star-like shapes/variable sides count for "Draw ellipse" modes.NeuralStunner wrote:I'd love to have a "create sector" function like WadAuthor had. You can create a square (deciding dimensions) or a polygon (choosing diameter and number of sides). The latter I especially loved for making circular sectors.

Re: GZDoom Builder 1.14
Missed the announcement for those. Great stuff!
The only enhancement I'd ask for is the ability to set default subdivisions/bevel, and an option to reuse the previous values for a new ellipse (so you can make multiple identical shapes more easily).

Re: GZDoom Builder 1.14
I say it because can be a good idea, or add more modificable lights, to do something like that, more/less directional and other settings maybe can be good...Gez wrote:Only after Graf accepts a code patch created by somebody else that adds such light type in GZDoom.MaxED wrote:Only after Graf adds such light types in GZDoom.Numnzel wrote:EDIT3: There is some possibility of make a non-spherical dynamic light?

Re: GZDoom Builder 1.14
It being a good idea is irrelevant; what matters the most is that nobody is ever going to code it, making the whole point moot.
Re: GZDoom Builder 1.14
I really like GZDoom Builder and UDMF, but there is an issue for me with the vertex height adjusters in visual modes in both the current release and r1730. Whenever there is a sector with 3 linedefs (also 3 vertices) the vertex height markers show up and behave properly, but also spew artifacts over the area where they appear. They are a collection of random lines that are constantly changing in number, length, position, and orientation.
Here is a screenshot so that you can see what i mean: this screenshot actually has the issue during one of its milder frames.
The height markers still behave correctly so its not that big of a deal. I just turn them off when I'm not using them.
The program still rocks and I appreciate all that you have done to bring many new innovative features to doom mapping.

Re: GZDoom Builder 1.14
Does this behaviour happen constantly, or it starts after some time, or some action?
Does this happen on any map?
I've replicated your example, and it works fine...

Re: GZDoom Builder 1.14
I get the same thing as MeatyD, but I've only ever messed about with slopes - never implemented them into a finished map. Sometimes they work/appear without a hitch, and other times I get the random squiggles with (or without) the ability to adjust vertex heights. It seems to depend on how I 'cut up' the sectors. I'm guessing there are right and wrong ways to do this.
I just chalked it up to the fiddliness of the feature, and my lack of practice with the slopes.
EDIT (potentially irrelevant to this thread):
Re directional dynamic lights: This is a ZDoom feature-thing, not a GZDB-thing, but maybe it already exists. Is there a way to make a sector that will not be affected by dynamic lights? In this way you could create a dynamic light (say, so it looks like it's coming from a wall sconce), and make a sector in front of it that describes the light's path, like we now do with standard sector lighting. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. Would something like this work for you, Numnzel?

Re: GZDoom Builder 1.14
Nope. GZDoom only have "radial" (not sure what they're called) dynamic lights. Also, you can't clip the lights to work with map geometry. If you do, this would've been avoided, by now.
Re: GZDoom Builder 1.14
It happens any time those vertex height markers are visible in 3d mode in UDMF mode, i havent ttested hexen or doom mode since they probably shouldnt be there anyway, if i keep the view still, it slows down a little bit, but never stabilizes. any slight movement on the camera agitates it and it keeps rapidly changing the lines.MaxED wrote:Does this behaviour happen constantly, or it starts after some time, or some action?

I am also wondering if it might be a problem with my GZDoomBuilder config file. I will try deleting that and let you know if the problem persists. I can also make a video if you want to see the bug in action.
EDIT: I deleted my GZBuilder.cfg in the %appdata% folder and the issue persists. Making a video now
EDIT: Video up soon

It's not really relevant, and technically it isn't possible with the code being what it is.Dortold wrote:EDIT (potentially irrelevant to this thread):

Dynamic lights in GZDoom are point lights, full stop. Anything else doesn't exist in the engine. The amount of people able and willing to code such a feature is equal to zero, so this isn't going to change.
Re: GZDoom Builder 1.14
Just throwing out there that if this bug is about the floor/ceiling vertex height control things, I'm using them without issue.
I haven't downloaded a new GZDB in a month though, so ignore this post if it's a new feature that I've missed.

Re: GZDoom Builder 1.14
Added some boilerplate to Vertex Handles rendering function in r1654.
Oh, by the way, I've moved GZDB source to new SVN, so:
1. The new SVN adress is http://svn.code.sf.net/p/doombuilder/co ... oomBuilder.
2. Revision numbering is kinda screwed (as you can see, the laterst revision is r1654).

Re: GZDoom Builder 1.14
1. When GZDoombuilder is opened, where can I find the revision number?
2. When creating a new map, how can I set up the configurations so that my preferred configuration shows up right away, instead of the first configuration in the Configurations folder?
3. Just being curious about MeatyD's problem:
If yes, why do they look different from when I lay them down? Are there several versions of those icons?
I used r1730, as did he.

Re: GZDoom Builder 1.14
I just tried out the latest r1654 and the issue persists. I am wondering if it may have something to do with the version of SlimDX I am using if that is what is responsible for drawing in 3d mode. Does anyone know how to check the version of slimdx being used?
@Kappes Buur:
no I am not using slope things. in UDMF with triangular sectors, you can adjust slopes with vertex offsets, those pyramids show up at each vertex of a triangular sector and only affect adjacent triangular sectors.
