GZDoom Builder 2.3

[Uboa]

For some odd reason, dynamic lights don't even show up in my visual mode. They don't even show up as thing objects, and they don't give off light at all. I'm using the standard Dynamic Light objects. Is there any fix?

Try not loading zdoom.pk3 (or gzdoom.pk3) loaded as a Resource.

I'm actually using Zandronum, but I've tried Skulltag too. I load skulltag_data.pk3 as a resource, as well as skulltag_actors.pk3.

Well try not loading them and see what happens.

I'll try.

EDIT: No luck. It doesn't show up in either visual mode, and it doesn't even show up as a thing in the normal visual mode.

In this case, the answers is that the Skulltag config file does not reference the GZDoom things.

You could try this:
Append the THING TYPES section in Skulltag_DoomHexen.cfg with
include("Includes\\GZDoom_things.cfg", "gzdoom");

Thank you very much, that works! I appreciate it.

EDIT: Another question. Is there a way to change the thickness of lines in Visual Mode? The lines marking the boundaries of sprites and objects? (Radius, height, etc.)
And also, are there any ways to get 3D models for the dynamic lights and such?

Fixed Skulltag configs in r1616.

No. DirectX 9 has very limited line drawing capabilities.

And also, are there any ways to get 3D models for the dynamic lights and such?

What do you mean?

MaxED, is it possible to have a "cycle floor/ceiling texture" in Sectors mode? Its function is to quickly cycle through available textures alphabetically on the selected sectors.

[Siberian Tiger]

Added in r1612 (and now you'll have to wait until SiberianTiger updates GZDB SVN builds page )

Sorry for the delay, but 1616 is being uploaded at the time of this post. Enjoy

Like in the GZDoom Builder 2 opening screen. If I wanted 3D lightbulb models, could I get them?

Maybe later. And in Visual mode (seems more apropriate place for such feature). Currently I want to finish a demo of a project I'm working on.

Yes you could. Use Blender, or Google, or whatever to create/get a model, then use MODELDEF to attach it to an actor.

I may as well ask for this here too, since the Slade3 map editor is still in development with other,
more basic and urgent, stuff.

ZETH 4.13 has a nice feature concerning pathnodes and interpolation points. For example, looking at
the Things in the TITLEMAP of KDiZD with DB2 or GZDB2



it is very difficult to distinguish where the camera is and which path it is taking.

In ZETH 4.13, the path is indicated by help lines, showing exactly how and where the camera is moving.



By the way, the same holds true for monster pathnodes.

[Xaser]

I definitely remember seeing an editor once that would highlight the next path node when selecting one -- did DB1 do that? Can't remember -- it was either that or DeePSea, and it was quite convenient. But yeah, a line would be even nicer.

Added in r1619.

Ooh. Excellent.
Now I am eagerly awaiting for Tiger to upload the update.
How I wished I could get Bootless Star to work.

How I wished I could get Bootless Star to work.

Actually, I don't understand the purpose of this program. It requires Visual Studio and SlimDX SDK installed, among other things. And if you have them, why not compile using Visual Studio? Because, well, to compile using Visual Studio you need to open the solution and hit "Compile" button, it's that simple.
