ZDoom

Works pretty nice! Hey Maxed , not to be all of a sudden , i would like to learn about MAKING programs just like this and see if i can fit in and help
do projects with you. reply soon , i can make wads for us and post them. _ Cody AKA StanklePussy

Well... To learn programming you just find a book or tutorial series for a programming language you wish to learn (C# in my case) and just follow along...
And when you think you've got the basics and can code a program all by yourself, you can grab the sources of Doom Builder 2 (or GZDoomBuilder, when I release version 1.01) and start tinkering with it... And I'm too preoccupied finishing GZDoomBuilder 1.01 to make any wads (except for testing ones).

O_o never seen this before. Guess this is what I get for not browsing the other forums that much.

Wow i did not knew what such thing exists and it dose cut off half of work thx. man

shit revision of Doom Builder is going to trash can

This is cool, but not for a map filled with dynamic lights if you want to be able to seem them from the editor. I get about one frame every other minute in one of my gigantic udmf maps with the rendering turned on. It's clearly because of the dynamic lights since there's one on just about every light surface and the adjacent planes and sometimes just in the air to light surrounding areas. And I'm running on a nVidia 460Ti that'll play Rage with near unnoticeable blurring unless you turn really really fast.

I really only downloaded this to see if auto-alignment would work on 3D floor sides, but no. If you get that working I'd migrate over for sure. Otherwise, cool but I'm gonna stick with DB2 so long as I have to run this like DB2 anyway to get normal frame rates in visual modes.

Looks like DoomBuilder 2 has been updated recently (at r1489):

Thanks! With your help, GZDoomBuilder 1.01 is based on r1493, not r1489

Huh? how is that possible, 1493 was made 2 days ago... did you apply all changes from the repository ever since you started working on GZDoom Builder?

There's nothing hard with that. It's just a TSVN "merge changes" dialog box away.

MaxEd, I don't mean to be a bitch, but is there any ETA on the following stuff:

- better dynamic light performance
- all dynamic light things
- proper dynamic light rendering (it looks like it's rendered as GZDoom's "additive" right now)
- translucent line fixes

Yes, for you and me, but from private communications I understood he doesn't use SVN much (if at all). Hence, my "huh?" response.

- better dynamic light performance - Well, it's already better in GZDoomBuilder 1.01 (I used Winter Challenge, Unloved and Spawn as test wads, and they are all running well in 1.01 with dynamic lights (I'm using i5-2500 and GF550, so I can't guarantee that it will run flawless on all systems ). If you stil aren't satisfied with dynamic light performance, you can now lower number of dynamic lights being rendered (16 lights seems to be enough in almost all cases).

- all dynamic light things - Already added in 1.01 (or do you mean dynamic lights defined in GLDEFS? I'm currently working on GLDEFS parser, so it'll most certainly appear in GZDoomBuilder 1.02).

- proper dynamic light rendering (it looks like it's rendered as GZDoom's "additive" right now) - I know that. Seems that I'll need to rewrite dynamic light shader one more time... I've never messed with shaders before GZDoomBuilder, so it was quite hard for me to make it work at all

- translucent line fixes - Seems to be working fine in 1.01...

Easy, actually. When I started working, latest revision of Doom Builder 2 was 1486
If you look here: http://doombuilder.svn.sourceforge.net/ ... n&view=log, you'll see that there were just 4 revisions after that, one of them fixing some typos in configs, the others changing 4-6 files, which weren't changed in any way in my version, so all I had to do was to download latest revision and replace changed files in GZDoom Builder sources...

MaxED, you are doing a great job here, keep it coming!

Hey, how about a competition?

If you want a screenshot from you'r wad to appear on GZDoomBuilder's title screen, well... send me a screenshot from you'r wad

Requirements:
- A screenshot must be taken in GZDoomBuilder, not in Doom.
- Dynamic lights should be on a screenshot.
- Models aren't required, but it will be nice to see them there too.

Any one up to it?
