I have a vague recollection of discussion over displaying decals in visual mode, but I think this would've been actual years ago. It's something I would be quite interested in, especially when trying to align texels properly at different line angles.

Hello.
I'm new to mapping on Doom
Is there a map with ressources ?
I mean a map with arch doors, harrow doors, slopes, swing doors, curves, bridges, etc... So you can copy and paste and make huge build more easily ?

[Kappes Buur]

@Haiden
all those constructs are easily done for GZDOOM
use an editor like Ultimate Doom Biulder and set
up the Game Configuration (F6) with the mapping
format GZDoom (Doom UDMF)

Just an idea, but I tried to sort the Doom/Boom line actions by their types. IMO it works so well that I'd dare to ask if this would be any help to navigate the Doom and Boom Line Actions menus?

Currently the actions are in number order. But it makes it a bit hard to find specific actions without typing to the search box. Also there are slight errors and imprecisions which make the current list even more unclear:

---

For example UDB finds these actions to raise floor by 24 and change texture:

15 S1 Floor Raise by 24 (changes texture)
59 W1 Floor Raise by 24 (changes texture)
66 SR Floor Raise by 24 (changes texture)
93 WR Floor Raise by 24 (changes texture)
160 S1 Floor Raise by 24 (changes texture and effect)
179 SR Floor Raise by 24 (changes texture and effect)
143 W1 Lift Raise by 24 (changes texture)
148 WR Lift Raise by 24 (changes texture)

But also 59 and 93 change the sector effect. And 15, 66, 143 and 148 use the trigger method, 59, 93, 160 and 179 the numeric method.

Or actions for the slow moving crusher are:

25 W1 Crusher Start with Slow Damage
49 S1 Ceiling Lower to 8 above Floor (perpetual slow crusher damage)
73 WR Crusher Start with Slow Damage
184 SR Crusher Start

Or actions to close a door for 30 seconds and then autoopen it are:

16 W1 Door Close Wait Open
76 WR Door Close Stay Open
175 S1 Door Close Wait Open (30 seconds)
196 SR Door Close Wait Open (30 seconds)

Here's the whole UDB (R4138) Configurations with the Doom/Boom actions sorted. To test this rename your UDB's current Configurations folder to "default_Configurations" (or so) and unzip/7zip the new Configurations folder into it's place.

To be able to sort the actions I appended all Doom actions into Boom_lindefs.cfg and edited Boom, EdgeC, Eternity, ZDaemon and ZDoom common.cfgs to not use doom_linedefs.cfg at all. The actions are sorted by their types (as categorized in boomref.txt) and the ordering is loosely based on the menus in DETH editor. Other edits:

---

Line action names have been standardised (loosely based on DETH) Same names are used for the same actions. The actions are also sorted in the order of SR, S1, WR, W1.

The use of trigger and numeric methods has been added to all floor changer actions.

(fast) tag has been removed from actions 152 and 145 ceiling lower to floor. boomref.txt lists actions 43/41/152/145 as being fast but in fact they're not (if compared to actions 55/72 ceiling lower to 8 above floor). I think Edge ports are the only ones where 152 and 145 are fast but it might be an error. 43/41 move at normal speed in Edge anyway.

linetoline-tags have been removed from teleports 207-210. All of them are teleports to a teleport thing in a tagged sector.

linetoline-tags have been added to wall scrollers 254, 249 and 218.

This is not a requirement to do anything. Just an idea concept to test.

My antivirus, Kaspersky, deletes UDB claiming that it is a Trojan. I have downloaded the program again and around 10 minutes later the same happened again. This has not happened to me before. I have no idea why this is happenning, may be an issue with the latest version. Has this happened to anyone else, perhaps with a different antivirus?

[Ravick]

Sorry if it had already been said/discussed here.

I keep getting this error almost every time I try to type the texture's name fast.



Do I just need to update it? Could it be my computer's fault?

Thanks in adavanced.

Mini-news: updates and builds location is now at https://ultimatedoombuilder.github.io/

This should theoretically help with stability and speed of updates (since bandwidth and latency of DRDTeam was not always perfect, and the website sometimes has had other issues also)

That said, thanks to DRDTeam for continued hosting for all this time, even when I accidentally made a build script that'd f-k over their machine

Sounds like BS.
1. Try VirusTotal
2. Check if the name is something with "Heur" or "Generic", if that's the case, it's almost always a mis-detection

Hi. Is there a way to display the linedef's upper/middle/lower brightness at the bottom of the screen? Since being able to set the linedef's brightnesses separately I've been looking for the way to check it without opening the Edit Linedef window. Thanks in advance.

No.

Just wanted to pop in and say thanks to authors for UDB. I'm getting back into Doom editing and it's awesome to see we can customise the editor with scripts!

Hello, first of all I wanted to thank the team behind UDB, this program is amazing.

I updated recently to version R4157 (64-bit) and I noticed a bug of sorts that didn't happen before:

If I select a texture I made that is named exactly the same as a Doom 2 original texture ( "GATE1" in this example ) the editor displays the original instead of my replacement, both in the window and in 3D mode.
But when I run the map It shows the new texture instead.
Is there a way to avoid this?

Thanks.

[boris]

Impossible to say with the given info.

[Caleb377]

Okay, Here's an image of the bug:

As you can see on the left window "Browse Textures" I have selected a new texture called "GATE1".
(Unfortunately the same name is used as one of the DOOM2 textures, and this mod requires the DOOM2.IWAD to function)

The "Edit Linedef" window on the right displays the wrong texture, wich has a different size and look
(It bypasses the selection on the previous window, ignoring the path selected and just displays the original
texture from DOOM2)

And on the background you can see the "Visual Mode" showing the texture in map that displays again as
the original texture instead of the one I selected.

But... if I run the game my texture shows, misaligned as I cannot correctly place it in "Visual Mode" but it's there.

The map has the resources listed as follows:
Doom2.wad
(The path to my textures folder)
Gzdoom.pk3

Hope that makes it clear now,
Thanks again.

[ZzZombo]

I think the order should start with the GZDoom assets, IWAD, and then any customizations take place.

I feel like we need an "Edit X" action. Right clicking on a line, sector, thing, etc..., to edit its properties can be annoying when you misclick.
