GZDoomBuilder-Bugfix, a maintenance fork of GZDB

It will benefit the maps in my project like you would not believe.

Also, what's this?

That may have something to do with [r2502] and [r2558].

[Mikk-]

Also, what's this? It doesn't seem to work for me at all, neither in GZDB or GZDoom. Should it?

You need to use the Stencil, AddStencil, Shaded or AddShaded renderstyle property for the colour to work.

This will crash gzdoom builder

Doesn't crash for me, just errors out:


Provide full script in PM please. Or stack trace.

Has the resource loading time gotten bigger or is it just my imagination? I have to wait up to 7-8 seconds while it used to take around 3.

How big are your resources in MB? If they haven't changed in size from when it was 3 seconds, then I would want to know why as well. If you added a lot more stuff to the resource file, then it might be normal.

[Accensus]

Loading just gzdoom.pk3 and doom2.wad is enough to make it load for 8 seconds. I swear on me mum that it never took so long before. Hell, even on my cheap-ass laptop it was 3 seconds max. I'm on a PC now and it's slow as hell.

[ZZYZX]

ZScript parsing is really slow. I wanted to optimize it, but never got there. But if it really loads for eight seconds, I might make that a priority.

This is probably a dumb question but this fork is totally separate from GZDB correct? In other words, if I update GZDB I won't get these fork's revisions? How does one install this fork? I've always used the installers for DB2, GZDB, and DB64. Do I just download the binaries and dump them into a new folder for GZDB-Bugfix?

EDIT: I got it working, it even uses GZDB's cfg file. Is that intentional? I might would prefer them to be separate since one contains things that the other does not.

Also, I found a bug already. I can't set black (0, 0, 0) or 000000 by picking the color for the D64 color system. I can enter it manually as 000000 but then it comes up blank.

Yes, or you can even dump them into the GZDB directory, shouldn't conflict, too few changes.

Shouldn't conflict, too few changes. I personally wouldn't want to reconfigure everything from scratch.

Well it works, just has wrong handling in the settings. It's a bug in the "Custom" tab, and this will be resolved once I actually make a new tab for color-related settings and don't rely on the current one.

Ah I see. No rush man, you're doing great things. Finally, I can color sectors like Doom 64 does thanks to Graf and you. Miracles do happen! In the Doom community at least.

EDIT: There's probably not a way to copy/paste the color hex numbers from Doom Builder 64 is there? Within DB64 you can copy and paste the RGBs for ease of copying colors but it doesn't appear to send that paste data anywhere outside of DB64 which is a shame. I plan to get the identical colors from DB64 but manually entering the RGBs is going to be tedious. Would it at least be possible for a way to copy and paste all 5 color fields at one time, matching each copied field to the next one to paste to? Not sure if that's doable but it would sure help.

[Nash]

works

Is that candle auto-aligning itself to the slope's normal, or am I just seeing things? Off-topic, but an "auto-align to slope" would be cool for things like fake blood/grunge decals; flat things that you want to scatter around the level.

Not actually a feature request because it's too minor and (as of now) I am okay with just doing it manually... just thought I'd write it down before I forget. XD

I can make thing autoaligning a feature. Right now it's done via ZScript in the candle itself though And it just looks bad in the editor.

Are properties in DB64 called differently? idk.
