Ultimate Doom Builder

If I understood, I simply have to wait for the fix but there is no need to fix something myself?

It's not a problem with the texture ...

The thing is though, that the included texture is 128x768.
Would that not make a difference?

No, because the issue is with horizontal align, and width of 128 is perfectly normal and expected/valid.

If I understood, I simply have to wait for the fix but there is no need to fix something myself?

You can wait for the fix, or you can move the texture a bit and it will start aligning
This is not top priority it seems (by looking at other things that surfaced recently)

To reword: there is a bug in the editor, but you can change your map to fix it faster.

edit: it seems there was also an issue with Y alignment, see boris' post below...

One question: which alignment do you mean? X or Y? I suspect Y, because there is indeed a bug with the negative scale of the texture, and that orange stuff at the top (which is actually at the bottom because the -1 Y scale) is not supposed to be seen there, right?

[Tormentor667]

Exactly boris, that is my problem

Ok, that's fixed.

This functionality has been dropped. Forever. Due to causing numerous issues while trying to support it, and being massively incomplete (only MaxED was interested in finishing this 4 years ago).
Sorry. Please use SLADE to edit resources. Also, it's a good idea to keep your resources inside a directory during development (same structure as PK3)

"still open" is a bug should not be open

I used that feature a lot. But if it cannot be fixed ...
Now I have to get used to running UDB from Slade3.

There was a temporary issue with silent editor crash to desktop if anyone updated to R3327. Should be fixed in R3329.

Is there a way to fix a bug involving the map being locked. I can't zip up the PK3 unless the map is closed during zipping using 7zip from the command line.

[ZZYZX]

Map being locked won't be fixed (this is required for editor's functionality)
(maybe it will be fixed later though, not sure what exactly is the issue)

RESOURCES being locked though, can be fixed by choosing "open map resources in read-only mode". If this doesn't work — that's a bug.

[Tormentor667]

Ok, that's fixed.

Perfect, thanks!

[Darkcrafter]

Wow, thank you for your work! This thing works really well, even better than GZDoom Builder. Good job!

If it helps, I keep my maps in a separate folder from the PK3 and use a little batch file to copy them in and then 7zip them whenever needed - you don’t need a lock to copy a file, so there’s no need to close the editor. I lay my projects out so that there's a "mapwork" folder for the maps, and a "pk3" folder that contains all the resources that will be zipped into the final PK3.

Code: Select all

@echo off
::::::::::::::
:: Variables
::::::::::::::
SET ziptool=c:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe
SET finalpk3=.\keeper3.pk3
SET projectfolder=.\pk3\
SET acc=c:\doomwork\acc\acc

::::::::::::::
:: Delete the final file if it exists already (careful now)
::::::::::::::
echo Removing old file...
del "%finalpk3%"

:::::::::::::::
:: Prepares everything to go into this build of the PK3
:::::::::::::::
echo Compiling ACC
"%acc%" "%projectfolder%\acssource\acglobal_source.txt" "%projectfolder%\acs\acglobal.o"
echo Copying maps
xcopy .\mapwork\*.wad .\%projectfolder%\maps /y /q
echo Adding files from project
"%ziptool%" a -tzip "%finalpk3%" "%projectfolder%\*"
:::::::::::::::

echo Created %finalpk3%
pause

Request :
To increase the number of backups to 10 or higher (maybe 25), if at all possible.
It would be great if it were selectable with a slider in F5, same as recent files.
That would make life so much easier.

Excited to use Doom Builder in Linux, but I'm running into some problems:

1. When I try to go into Tools -> Preferences, UDB hangs.

2. It seems like alt key is stuck or something: when I press "s" to enter Sectors mode, for example, the Sectors menu opens instead. Similarly, when I press "e" to go forward in Visual mode, the Edit menu opens.

3. When using the mouse in Visual mode, I can only turn 90 degress left and right, and when I turn all the way right, the undo/redo history thing pops up. Seems like the pointer is still active or something.

4. The map-selection dialog only shows the last 5 maps, and when I select them they actually open the first 5 maps.

I'm pretty new to Linux and WINE, so if I'm slow to understand the steps to fix/workaround, I apologize.

Thanks!

ew. Looks like all winforms issues. Version of WINE? Version of UDB? (are you using x86 one?)
