Any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Looks like you didn't select the sector surrounding your structure to export. You'll have to do that, and add the textures used for that in the "skip textures" box.

Since the most recent update, I get little dialogue boxes telling me when I've toggled highlighting or gravity or so forth on and off. Is there a way to disable this?

Well, gzdoom now has native arm support. So, I need to ask here: May we expect a release of arm UDB, or this is foolish expectancy?

Last time I tried it compiled and ran without a problem on my Raspberry Pi. Of course editing wasn't possible because the Raspberry Pi lacks OpenGL support, but if your hardware supports that I guess it should work.

Is there by any chance an option to automatically snap to a textures position on the texture list without having to scroll all the way back down? It's kind of killing my hands having to scroll all the way back down with custom textures that aren't uniquely named all that well, It always resets me back to the used texture list or the very top of the entire list.

There are two ways:

a) disable the textures at the top by unchecking the "Used textures at the top" checkbox
b) Press tab. That will jump between the currently selected texture in the "Used textures" section and where it is in the list of all textures

Made an account for this, when I compile my map, ZDaemon doesn't read the NODES lump.
The map format I'm using is ZDaemon: Doom 2 ( Hexen Format ).
When I open the map in SLADE, it shows a NODES Lump.
Is this a bug with Ultimate Doom Builder, or ZDaemon?

That appears to be more a user problem, rather then an editor problem



Also, what do you mean by 'compile a map'?
The usual process is to simply save the map.

Maybe you're using a nodebuilder configuration ZDaemon doesn't support. Like ZDBSP extended compressed nodes or whatever. You could try chaning it in the game configuration.

Hello, would like to report a bug.

Seems like the script editor being always on top can soft-lock the entire program in some scenarios. For example, trying to edit a thing on the map when the script editor window is open results in all controls (including the script editor itself) becoming unresponsive: when attempting to interact with them, the "Windows Background" sound is heard, and nothing else happens. Only Alt+F4 seems to work sometimes, which closes the script editor, thus restoring everything to normal.

Obviously enough, this issue can be avoided by unchecking the "always on top" option in the script editor, but it's only a workaround. Note that it also surprised me that "always on top" is enabled in the default setup - it is somewhat annoying because it also interferes with other windows and not just UDB itself.

This is used when multiple map elements selected that have differing values for their properties. For example selecting multiple sectors with different brightness levels will leave the brightness input field empty, and when hitting OK the brightness of each sector isn't changed.

This is fine for non-string fields, but for string fields there's currently no way to differentiate between "field is not supposed to change" and "user wants to change it to an empty string/remove it".

I don't really have a good solution for that right now, but as a workaround you can use this UDBScript to remove string fields: <...>
Shouldn't it be a more or less straightforward case of storing "this field is unchanged" extra boolean per field?

This (mis)behavior sounds a lot like an issue in how Windows itself handles always-on-top. In any case, not having this option on by default sounds like a good idea.
