SLADE Discussion - Latest: v3.1.7 (07/Oct/2019)

Modding is also frequently transferred across computers, either due to a hard drive crash, multiple system testing, etc.

Now you can preview those fancy byte map fonts in SLADE3.

[Shadelight]

Have I ever told you how awesome you are, Gez?

[chmmr]

Really, really awesome to see SLADE resurrected. For those of us on Linux, a solid editor for ZDoom levels will be amazing.

[Gez]

Interesting file pointed out here (download link). While Slumped identifies the embedded wad file correctly, Slade 3 has a problem with it and confuses it with the preceding lump (the BLOCKMAP). It seems there is a bug in the wad directory function.

Nevermind, problem solved now and it wasn't in the directory function.

[sirjuddington]

Ah of course. Silly XWE (I'm guessing that's what would save a wad with entry data *after* the wad directory, considering how it handles saving).

Should really get another beta out tonight, since the last one had that nasty slow-saving bug.

Edit: Beta4 is up

[NeuralStunner]

Loving the interface so far.

The idea of having all the pest parts out of WinTex, XWE, and SLumpEd has me excited. It's also interesting to me how you're pretty much rebuilding the whole editor, rather than pasting pieces onto an old code base. More folks should do that.

Will there be an option to store config files etc. locally in the program folder? (Perhaps, like a few other programs I've seen, it can automatically load from a local file if present.)

- I do see the Palette box on the Sprite viewer pushed off the right side when the Archive manager is open. (1024x768.) Just not enough horizontal room for it all I guess. (Also the graphic area in that view doesn't update between changing windows, but I expect that'll change once the viewer/editor is fully implemented.)
- Lumps that are 0 bytes come up as "markers", including map components like SEGS and REJECT. Not a big deal really, unless you decide to include chart-based editors for these lumps. (Granted I think it's a bad sign if a wad has 0-byte map component lumps, except maybe for Nodes which can be built by ZDoom at runtime.)

Just put a file named "portable" in the program directory and it'll store the config files there.

[NeuralStunner]

Heh, that's a new method... Thanks.

Code: Select all • Expand view

src/SwitchesEntryPanel.o: In function `SwitchesEntryPanel::SwitchesEntryPanel(wxWindow*)':
SwitchesEntryPanel.cpp:(.text+0x1f7b): undefined reference to `ListView::ListView(wxWindow*, int)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [slade] Error 1

i just got problem to make slade with rev 438.
could you fix it?

[sirjuddington]

Try a clean rebuild. The ListView constructor takes a third argument but it's optional (so that really should compile...)

[japboy]

@sirjuddington
i just tried it and it worked fine. thanks.

Code: Select all • Expand view

make clean
make

btw, are you going to implement something like a map format converter?
it would be nice if doom - zdoom - gzdoom - UDMF formats are converted to something else by just one click...
currently, i have to copy/paste sectors and things separately to change formats, and it is bit painful if the map is getting large.
1 click converter is a good idea, isn't it?

[Gez]

See here for existing converters.

Doesn't seem entirely fair that DB2 gets a sticky thread and this doesn't, so that's fixed. Keep at it, Slayer, I love what you're doing!

Of course now there's 6 stickies...
