GZDoom Builder 2.3

[Zeberpal]

I wonder if this was asked before. How does Pitch setting work? Tried to apply it on Skybox Viewpoint - no effect. Is it supposed to work with stuff like 3d models/voxels?

Ok, I found out why there was an issue with my pk3. Apparently GZDoom Builder didn't like that I was using a pipe character "|" in one of the subfolders in the pk3, so it excluded all of the pk3's resources. Why? Zdoom/GZdoom don't have issues with that character. It took me a while to figure out what was the issue, but I hope this information could help out other people who might have the same problem.

Hi, I have 143 sectors and they all need to have the same skybox. How the hell would I do that without going completely insane?

Skybox Picker

It seems the "Select Similar" function is not working properly.

Fixed. Tag comparison logic was inverted...

Looks like "Select Similar" for sidedef is still bugged, because it selects all sidedefs on the map.

Skybox Picker

That's the issue, I would have to place 143 individual skybox picker actors in order to do that.

[Marrub]

Oh, actually, nevermind. I just figured out how.
Select all the sectors, go to Sectors -> Place Things, and select Skybox Picker.

Works fine on my side. Which settings are you using?

GZDoom Builder 2.3.0.2444, GZDoom: Doom 2 (UDMF). Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a room with 4 walls
2. Set a different texture for 2 walls
3. Select wall then click "Linedefs" -> "Select Similar" -> "Sidedefs" -> "Middle texture"
4. Then editor selects 4 walls instead of 2

Another bug with similar linedefs:
1. Create a room with 4 walls
2. Set a 1 tag for 2 walls
3. Select wall with tag 1 then click "Linedefs" -> "Select Similar" -> "Linedefs" -> "Tags"
4. Editor selects 2 walls without tags, but doesn't select the last wall with tag 1

Feature suggestion: Would it be possible to add a visual aid that shows the color and radius of dynamic lights also in 2d mode?

Adressed. Sidedef properties were compared only when "Sidedef properties" flag was checked on the "Linedefs" tab, which was kinda unintuitive (I've missed that flag when testing this case), so I've removed it.

1. Create a room with 4 walls
2. Set a 1 tag for 2 walls
3. Select wall with tag 1 then click "Linedefs" -> "Select Similar" -> "Linedefs" -> "Tags"
4. Editor selects 2 walls without tags, but doesn't select the last wall with tag 1

Unable to reproduce. Post an example map...

Thing boxes of dynamic light actors are already colored using light color in Classic modes. I'll see what I can do about showing the light radius tomorrow...

Maybe I'm just silly but I can't seem to get DirectX 9 to install/work/whatever. I used the Installer and apparently it didn't install the runtime, so I tried the setup straight from the Microsoft site and it just brickwalls me with a note that I have to be using 98/2000/XP to install. I'm running Windows 10. Am I just SOL, or is there a workaround? I looked a few pages back to see if anyone else had the same problem but ain't nobody got time to look through all 200+ pages.

Any help would be appreciated plox

Sounds great, thanks alot

Is it possible to export the top down view of a map as an image? Without any of the linedefs lines, thing markers or vertex points visible in the editor that is. It would make for a great base image to paint over in photoshop and use as a background in an ACS minimap script.

Whenever I start a new Heretic/UDMF map, I get this fatal error:
