If you updated UDB yesterday and get the error

Code: Select all

Could not load plugin "System.Memory.dll", plugin is missing the Plug class. This file is not supposed to be in the Plugins subdirectory.
please delete the System.Memory.dll from the Plugins directory (only there, not the one in the base installation directory).

Sorry for the inconvenience!

I just updated Ultimate Doom Builder and opened one of my maps which is in UDMF format.

The map makes use of vertices sloping and when I went into visual mode I noticed that the slopes where not being displayed despite having Enhanced Rendering Effects turned on. I toggled it several times but nothing changed. I tried changing the height of the sloped sector directly and Doom Builder immediately crashed with the following error message.
Spoiler:
I've restarted Doom Builder a couple of times and reloaded the map but it never displays the slopes and always crashes when I try to edit the sloped sectors.

How it looks in Doom Builder with Enhanced Rendering Effects on.


How it looks in GZDoom.

The screenshot and text do not mention which port you are using
Spoiler:
In GZDoom Doom2 UDMF enable the rendering of vertex heights by pressing Alt+V and selecting the height of the vertex. Then pressing Tab you can toggle the enhanced effects

I'm mapping for GZDoom, using a modified config for GZDoom UDMF.

After further investigation, I believe my modified config is what is causing problems. Loading the map with the included vanilla GZDoom UDMF format displays the vertices and slopes properly and does not crash when attempting to edit them. I assume that when I updated Ultimate Doom Builder, one of the updates made changes to how the map configurations are setup and this obviously did not include my custom configs which would now seem to be broken.

Rather annoying but what can I do? I'll have to go through the configs and see if I can see what has changed and propagate that back to my configs.

Sorry if this particular question has already been asked and answered before, but I could use a little bit of help with configuring UDB.

I'm making some maps for a mod for use with Zandronum. I'm trying to use the latest [url=https://github.com/zeta-group/zt-bcc/releases/tag/0.9.0]zt-bcc[/url] for making scripts, both for the mod as well as for maps. I have gotten it working fine with the mod's scripts, but I'm unsure how to get it working appropriately with UDB. I've managed to get it to show up in the Map Options configuration by copying the existing bcc-related configurations and adjusting them slightly, but it seems to be having an issue reading zt-bcc's "ZCommon.bcs" erroring out on a blank "#library" line (again, this works just fine in the mod scripts).

Honestly I'm not entirely sure if the bcc included with UDB is considered the "latest" or if zt-bcc is latest, but UDB's bcc doesn't seem to like various things found in the ACSUtils (BCSUtils) library. I suppose one alternative option is to just use the acs version of ACSUtils and forgo the BCS version...

Any ideas on what I need to do here for UDB? Or if UDB could officially support Zt-BCC (if it's considered the latest that is)?

Re: Ultimate Doom Builder

Post by MartinHowe »

Please can anyone tell me what the syntax for categories is in a UDB config file, not in ZScript?

I am creating custom thing config files for editing my mod as the default configs include a whole lot of stuff I'm never going to use or want organised in a different way to the default and the tiny thing properties dialogue (relative to today's monitor sizes) doesn't help; most importantly, I want to put some things in subcategories.

Take ZDoom particle fountains, for example; they are in the 'Decoration' category in ZDoom_things.cfg, so they show up in the list after hanging dead bodies, dead marines, and so on; what I want is to have them in their own subcategory. In ZScript I could just do //$Category "Decoration/Fountains", but there seems to be no way to do it in a config file. I could simply clone them as a subclass and do it, but it seems a bit silly to do that for hundreds of items when I'm rolling my own actual config file!

I have also tried various combinations of "category = ..." in various parts of the config files; UDB doesn't complain about syntax errors if I do this, but they have no effect whatsoever :(

So what is the syntax for this in a config file? Please?

In the UDB source directory there's a "Help" directory. Open index.html in there.

Things are enclosed by a data structure that is the category for those things. If you don't want them to be in that category you'll have to move them somewhere else.

Thanks for the help mention. Sadly, it is very light on details; there is no formal guide to writing a category; I can understand this, I've written docs myself and it's hard to anticipate the edge cases.

This is what is desired:


I was getting close, but it seems to create nested categories, you need to nest them in identifier first, and then provide a title for the inner one, like so:

Code: Select all

decoration
{
    fountains
    {
        title="Fountains";
    	9027
    	{
    		title = "Red Particle Fountain";
    		class = "RedParticleFountain";
    	}
    }
}
The nested structure isn't enough, so it seems the title is important structurally.

I hope this will help others trying to do this.

Translucency / alpha

Post by SuaveSteve »

There seems to be an issue in setting alpha for things in UDMF for both DSDA doom and ZDoom. For ZDoom, a Thing must have a certain RenderStyle set before alpha will take effect, which you can't do in UDB when the map is set to DSDA :)

To workaround, one can switch to GZDoom UDMF, set the renderstyle to translucent and then go back to DSDA UDMF format (but I suppose editing the textmap would work, too).

My suggestion: If the map format is DSDA UDMF, then set the renderstyle to Translucent if alpha is less than 1.0.
