How is this neat trick done??

[Falcon]

The geneology of the Doombuilder editor family is such

• the original Doombuilder by codeimp
  Doombuilder2 a complete rewrite by codeimp revisions r1 to r1715
  DoombuilderX by anotak based on Doombuilder2
  GZDoom Doom Builder by MaxED revisions r1716 to r 2787
  GZDoom Doom Builder Bugfix by ZZYZX revisions r2788 to 3107
  Ultimate Doom Builder by ZZYZX and boris revisions r3108 to present r3701

From the revision levels one can see how often a bug was fixed and how often a feature was altered or added.
In all fairness, I do not know if or how DBX is better than DB2, I have it installed but I do not use it except for testing.

I overlaid all the DB family editor interfaces for comparison (large image)

I do not want to be seen as pushing you to an editor which is not suitable for you, however, I should mention that UDB no longer uses DirectX, instead it uses OpenGL 3.3 and above. Furthermore UDB and has done away with SlimDX.

Thanks for the links and info! and no probs but UDB does look the goods

Wait a minute...

so does this program need a specific version?

Yes. I am not sure how else you could interpret my earlier yes as anything but yes, so yes.

and i have to have both DX9 and DX12 on my system?

Yes.

won't that cause conflict?

I wouldn't be answering with yes if that were the case. No, this won't cause conflict.

You are right though that previous DirectX versions iterated on eachother, but this has not been the case for some years anymore now. DX9 is its own seperate entity now.

not sure if i want to do this as i don't wanna stuff up my system.

Its not a driver that is gigabytes in size, its a Dynamic Link Library, or DLL. There is really no cause for concern here.

LOL ok cool thanks mate
