While editing in UDMF, being able to pick from a prefab list of Doom format/Boom format linedef actions, and the arguments being auto-allocated to the equivalent action.
No need to bother with Generic actions as that'd be overkill, but simply being able to select a line action like 36 - W1 Lower to 8 Above Highest Floor, and having the special and arguments set correctly would be lovely, and likely speed up the flow of the mapping process quite a bit for folks like me who think largely in Boom mapping terms.

This would be great. When working in UDMF or Hexen format, the lack of quick prefab line specials like in Doom format always brings my workflow to a grinding halt. Being able to just click a menu and quickly enter "97" for a standard repeatable walkover teleport, for instance, would really speed things up and make UDMF more accessible to folks who are already quick with standard Doom editing.
It'd also be nice to be able to then customize that list to add our own commonly-used prefab specials with their own shortcut codes.
sounds like a configurable list would be very handy to have, defined in user .cfg that could be shared. Something like define each custom action with a name and the default UDMF settings for it
I added a range finder display for things mode that I thought you may find useful.
This adds actor-level ranges that are hard coded in the decorate, and argument-level ranges (when set to type 27), that are dynamic based on the argument value. The argument version supports custom colors.
Use case: I have been making actors for a level that have specific detection ranges, setup as a stealth gauntlet the player has to sneak through. Having the detection ranges visible in things mode is pretty helpful for seeing where the coverage gaps are.
Is there any way to add custom thing types in GZDoom Builder thing properties just for a mod, without writing new game configurations? I'm not mapping only in ZDoom; the mod may also have Dehacked or Eternity definition monsters.
- Available ranges are automatically added to the corresponding argument tooltip.
- Ranges are not rendered when the corresponding argument value is 0.
- Default range color is different from the default renderstyle color. It's also more transparent.
Hey Max, got an idea from the thing Xabis posted above. What if the AmbientSound actor showed how far away it could be heard from? There seems to be three values relevant here, as can be seen in the article.
Hello Max. As you look at something that would add a lump editor that would add, edit, delete, new pictures, sounds, and music directly from the editor. It would be great.

Reverse SLADE becoming a thing?
btw, @MaxED is it possible to toggle between "used textures on top" and "used textures in their place" modes with a key?
