Doom Builder and basic tasks..

[volumetricsteve]

Hey folks,

I'm trying to embark on building my first doom mission pack, so I've been sketching in a book during work hours like a crazy person, but I've never actually made a doom level before.

I've made plenty of Quake 3 levels, so I get a lot of the core concepts, but...so far with Doom Builder I can't seem to figure out how to pan the view around. I know in Radiant, you right click and drag the area around and it pans your view of the level, but Doom Builder doesn't seem to react this way, the closest I can seem to get to panning is to zoom way out and then zoom in again on a different area. There has to be a way to pan the view, right?

Thanks in advance, and I'm also open to any advice for first time doom mappers.

press down and hold the spacebar and drag the mouse

For other actions peruse the settings in F5 - Controls.
Or, if you are using GZDoom Builder then generate a Keystroke Reference from Help and print it out, if you
want a hardcopy.

Also, both DB2 and GZDB have a Reference Manual in the form of a compiled HTML-file (Refmanual.chm).

Thanks!

I was able to find the DB1 manual, which...didn't seem to mention the panning trick you did, which eventually drove me here. If there's a DB2 manual I've been too tired or too stupid to be able to find it yet.
