SLADE Discussion - Latest: v3.2.4 (21/June/2023)

I'm curious as I can't find an answer anywhere, but in settings under "Graphics>HUD Offsets View", what is "Show weapon bob outline" for? I see it adds a thin border around the HUD sprite offset editor, but I don't understand what that indicates.

I'm new to GZDoom mapping and using SLADE on Linux Mint. When I try to run the map in SLADE, it's asking for a path to the executable. What am I supposed to put there? Everything I've tried either does nothing or gives me an "Invalid Executable Path" error.
EDIT: I found it - in "usr/games". Somehow I overlooked the gzdoom file.

Weapon bobbig is that effect where the weapon sprites is moved left and right and up and down to simulate the weapon swaying as you run around the level. I suppose the outlines show how far the sprite will move in any direction with Doom's default bobbing?

Does anyone know if there is some function to add numbers to columns in spreadsheet-type files (like things, linedefs, sectors, ect.) for maps? Or any way to export one of these files into a spreadsheet editor? I am trying to merge 2 maps together and it would be really helpful if there was a function so I could add a large number like 10000 to one of the linedef and sector files so that the maps don't have conflicting linedef specials. Thanks!

Might have been reported before, but changing the sound output in windows (like from headset to speakers) breaks sound in Slade - even switching back seem to not fix it - only sollution seem to be to close down the program and restart it. Anyone know if it's fixable?

[yum13241]

There's an annoying bug where making a new file with an extension that isn't .txt will force it to .txt. Renaming the file afterwards works fine.

[Zaeryn]

There's an option to collapse all folders but not expand all?

[Kappes Buur]

There seems to be a bug in Slade3 3.2.x which does not happen with Slade3 3.1.x

open a pwad in Slade3


highlight the map lump and open UDB


edit the map with UDB, save and close to go back to Slade3


the top MAP01 lump is the edited lump
the bottom MAP01 is the old MAP01 lump

to click on the bottom MAP01 opens this message


Saving the map and reovening allows the offending lump to be deleted.

3.2.3 is now released, with various bug fixes and improvements including the return of fluidsynth MIDI playback for the Windows x64 build.

Autocomplete shortcut isn't working. Anyone else having this issue?

[sirjuddington]

v3.2.4 is up now, with a fix for the crash on applying sector properties, among other things.

If I do other things in the editor and then save, the nodebuilder appears to work and the map saves successfully, at least as far as I can tell. Can anyone assist?

EDIT: I tested other random wads and can confirm that this error does occur on other maps, so it is not confined to my current project.

That should be fixed in 3.2.4

[Kappes Buur]

Will 3.2.4 also address this glitch with Open Map in Doombuilder ?
