Do you have BuilderNative.dll in the base directory? That DLL contains the rendering backend (among some other non .Net stuff).

https://github.com/jewalky/UltimateDoom ... 1166261487 indicates that Parallels doesn't support OpenGL. BuilderModes.dll requires an opengl32.dll (and probably a working one), so maybe it can't find that and then fails to load BuilderModes.dll.

In that case, you can try this:

https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail ... n-us&gl=US

If Parallels supports Direct3D 12 (and it should) this puts a simple OpenGL 3.3 layer on top of that. It should work even if your GPU driver is disabled.

If your edition of Windows is missing the Store for some reason let me know and I can try and get you a direct link.

Parallels seems to only support up to DX11, unfortunately.

Doesn't support Vulkan either then I assume?

may have found a bug or limitation, just curious if it can be resolved.

- When loading a map with ( 2 ) .pk3 resource files and both .pk3 files contain different sprite textures in the sprite folders.
when the map is opening up, Ultimate Doom Builder seems to only look for the sprite textures in the last pk3 file in the load order and not all of the selected .pk3 files to be used as resource files.

this throws the error message "Unable to find sprite lump " **** " used by actor " **** ". Forgot to include required resources? "

if i then "cut" the sprites out of the first .pk3 resource file and paste them in the last loaded .pk3 resource file, the map opens up just fine with no error codes.
i can then switch the .pk3 load order around and then i will get the same issue where Ultimate Doom Builder cant find the sprites as the last .pk3 file has no sprites in it but the first .pk3 file has all of them.

There are 3 features I’d like to suggest, if possible:
*Support for opening maps in PK3s without having to extract the map file. (This was something that was in GZDB)
*Support for custom IWAD formats (ipk3, IWAD)
*Improved map conversion (so 1:1 conversions from Vanilla Doom or Vanilla Heretic to UDMF are possible without errors.)

Can confirm that this is happening.

GZDB couldn't do that.

Works, as long as teh IPK3/IPK7 has a IWADINFO lump. There was a problem with it reported recently, but it's working with my (simple) example, so if it's not working I'll need a minimal working example that reproduces the problem. IWADs work, as long as they actually have the IWAD identifier in their header.

Too much work for too little gain. PRs are welcome, though, as always ;)

Updated to v3.0.0.3980 (692ceb7) and seems like I'm rolling back from this one because need to load gzdoom.pk3 into map resources and then having to remove it when testing (reload the map before testing lol). because gzdoom won't run if gzdoom.pk3 is in the map resources.

You just have to mark the resource as not being loaded for testing. It's the checkbox at the bottom of the "browse WAD/PK3/Folder" window.

UDB costantly crashes when opening a map. Does anyone have the same problem?

You probably have an AMD GPU with the latest drivers, which seem to cause problems.
