Ultimate Doom Builder

ZScript errors will stop parsing ZScript. You need to include gzdoom.pk3 (or whatever file of your game has all the ZScript definitions), then it'll fine PlayerPawn. The mapinfo errors are very likely subsequent errors because ZScript stopped parsing, resulting in UDB not knowning the classes.

That's got me on the right path. Most errors and warnings were resolved, and I have enough info to investigate further. THANKS!

Just a quick question:
What are Pre and Post commands used for?

[boris]

It's used to run command before and/or after reloading resource, and before testing the map. I originally added it to make using DoomMake with UDB a bit more streamlined (see my post on DW here). So you could invoke DoomMake before actually reloading the resources, so that you didn't have to manually run DoomMake after making changes to it. Nowadays DoomTools can automatically run DoomMake when changes happen it the project's directory, the pre/post commands lose a bit of value, but it's probably also useful for other things.

UDB closes without explanation for me when attempting to open a map. The last line in UDBuilder.log is "Initializing graphics device..." Currently running AMD driver 22.10.2 with a RX 6700 XT.

Only solution right now is to downgrade your GPU drivers.

I sure hope there's going to be a solution about UDB crashing with the latest AMD drivers.
I personally refuse to downgrade them or to install my old 750ti because of this.
Currently i'm using an older version of GzDoom Builder from 2019 as a temporary solution.

It worked for nearly 3 years, then AMD changed something in their drivers that broke something. So at first glance I wouldn't say that it's UDB's fault. We don't have AMD hardware, and no hint at what's the problem. So unless someone with AMD hardware steps forward and implements a fix/workaround (or AMD randomly changes something that un-breaks it) nothing will change.

I bet this would be a fun mystery for AMD support. Someone with the issue should start a support ticket.

Hmmm,fairs.
They are experimental drivers after all.Let's see if the problem persists when official ones finally come back.

Would it be possible to get Thing filters to include all category subfolders when a root category is selected.

For example if have my monster's definitions sorted like this...
//$Category "Monsters/Zombies"
//$Category "Monsters/Demons"
//$Category "Monsters/Nazis"
...and I create a filter just for monsters and point it at the root monster category, none of my monsters in the above folders will be included in the filter which seems really counter-intuitive.

I'm having a bit of an issue with exporting a selection to a obj model. I'm trying to export a very basic tram and for some reason UDB is exporting it inside out.

Here it is in UDB:

Here it is after export and imported in Blender:

Any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it?

It's a good doom builder alt but it's very laggy sometimes and it can even crash unexpectedly and may trash your pc

[axredneck]

... laggy ...

Good News AMD users!
It looks like it works again! with the latest drivers!
